Virgin River by Robyn Carr is another book that I have read this year (It Happened One Summer being the other one) which is a sexy romantic novel, although this one has more hard-hitting issues being tackled and has been made into a Netflix series.
Mel Monroe has been through the mill as a nurse practitioner in a busy Los Angles hospital, happily married to Mark, an emergency medicine doctor, who dies in tragic circumstances. Making the decision to move on, she goes to Virgin River, a rural small town and almost immediately regrets it.
However, when a new born baby is left on the door step of the clinic and home of grumpy Doc Mullins, she finds a reason to stay, if only for a few days, whilst she cares for them. And having local barman and former marine Jack Sheridan just over the road with a listening ear and broad shoulders to cry on, as well as making her rent-free cabin shipshape to live in, she might just need to reconsider her decision...
I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton library and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt A is for Alpha for the 52 Book Club mini challenge May 2024.
