Book 11 in the series was just as good, if not better than the 10 previous books!!
I really liked the story of Clay and Lily, and a little more introduction to Nate and Anne! As well as how Carr threw in all our other favorite Virgin River characters.. The earthquake was a nice twist, a very unexpected one!!

Another wonderful adventure in Virgin River. Two brand new characters were at the center of this story but as always, the beloved members of the town were a bit part of the overall storyline. I loved seeing two Native American main characters and hope they will appear in future books. Ready for the next adventure!
I have been reading this series for a while now and I can say that they are always a great reading experience. This one was no exception. It tells us a cute love story, it has engaging characters and interesting sub-plots. Promise Canyon starred a new couple, that was not mentioned in previous books and it was good to read about new people that come to Virgin River to find a new life and new beginnings. But I was sad that the usual folks didn't appear that much and made me miss them all the more. It was an enjoyable reading and I look forward for more. I really like these books.
The plot is super thin on this one but I did like the part where the town stopped speaking to Jack Sheridan and he got all pouty.
3.5/5 I didn't enjoy this one as much as I have some of the others, which I am a bit disappointed by given that the main characters are different from all the other we have seen before.
Promise Canyon is book 13 in Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, the first in the latest trilogy which is followed by Wild Man Creek and Harvest Moon. Like any series with so many installments there will be books that are better than others and Promise Canyon isn't one of my favorites nor is it my least favorite. It falls somewhere in the middle.
Virgin River reminds me very much of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, not in content or genre but because of the multiple story arcs, recurring characters, and character development over time. However, Promise Canyon introduces us to a new hero and heroine and I found it harder to get into.
I did enjoy the main relationship but I just didn't feel as connected to the characters as I have in the past. In Promise Canyon both main characters are Native Americans but from different tribes. Clay is Navajo and Lilly is Hopi. Lilly, having been jaded at a very young age by another Navajo is determined to avoid the new Native veterinary assistant, but Clay has other plans.
Clay patiently befriends and eventually worms his way into Lilly's heart. Lilly is resistant to her attraction to Clay and allows her past to cloud her judgement of the man Clay is, unfairly, comparing him to a reckless Navajo boy who once broke her heart. Clay is wonderful hero, sexy, steadfast. Not in the least bit tortured. Just a good guy with some baggage in the form of an ex-wife who eventually shows up to add additional conflict to Clay and Lilly's relationship.
In Promise Canyon, Virgin River says good bye to one of their own and also welcomes new faces who will, no doubt, one day star in their very own Virgin River adventure. While not my favorite in the series, Promise Canyon advances the series and is, overall, a good addition to the series. Every time I review one of these books I use the same description, because it's always true; Robyn Carr's Virgin River series is always heartwarming and uplifting.
