A Virgin River Christmas by Robyn Carr

3.0

There are certain aspects of this series that grate like nails on a chalkboard for me (men only being able to call their wives and girlfriends their girl, for one), and I really didn't need a romance series about traumatized Marine veterans, but somehow I ended up really caring about what happened to Marcie and Ian. Despite many annoying details, the story was heart-warming in the best way.

I suspect this has something to do with the almost stand-alone nature of this books. Unlike other Virgin River books, this one focuses entirely on Ian and Marcie, and when Jack, Mel, and other series regulars show up, it's only to support the main story. I suspect book #5 is going to remind me how much I disliked having half a dozen storylines happening simultaneously.
