Semi explicit sex scene with OW, AFTER meeting h and WHILE thinking about her which was extremely disrespectful to the OW who was a nice woman. All he had to do was just leave as he told her, not get overwhelmed by lust for h and use the OW as a sub. This was early in the book, so this pretty much ruined everything for me.UNSAFE.
*sigh* I feel like the grump lurking in the corner, but I did not like this book. Which is shocking! This book has an extremely high average and every GR friend I have to date has given it at least a 4 star grade. It must have something going for it to have so many fans, but I just can't see it. :\This was supposed to be a modern book, but it felt oddly dated. The heroine Mel, talks about Starbucks and $300 highlights so I know it's modern, but it also had a weirdly old school vibe going for it....
I can't begin to believe myself but Netflix did it BETTER.(???)
Re-read/listened to the audiobook version Nov'19Original read/rating/review:5+ stars – Contemporary RomanceThere’s not much that hasn’t already been said about this sweet, delightful, feel-good contemporary romance and for very good reason, and now I’m finally glad that I get what all the fuss is about.Virgin River is a heartwarming story about a young, grieving widow whose spirit is rejuvenated and soul revived by working as a nurse and midwife in a quaint little country town called Virgin Rive...
This book has been on my kindle for years ... saw it was coming out on Netflix and decided to start it. Was just going to read it first prior to watching it but, you know me, I have no willpower. So was reading it, watching it and also listening to the Audio - such a multitasker ... if only I could be so organised in my real life and not just my reading life!!Jack was cute. An ex-Marine who moves to Virgin River after he finishes his service, for a peaceful life of fishing and bar-tending.The se...
3.5 stars. Grabbed this purely because I saw the Netflix promo for the series based on this and the male lead is the hot doc who wasn’t in Grey’s Anatomy long enough for my liking. Yes I’m that shallow. Mixed bag but plenty of likeable characters so I’ll read the next one.
A generic "strong" female with "heart-shaped lips" and a fabulous figure + generic whitebread cleft-chin He-Man gentleman (even when hooking up!) with a soft spot for babies + a po-dunk town where nothing happens == boring book!These people have no personality. Where's the humor? If not that, where's the intellectual intelligence? Or if not that, where's the sarcasm, the quirky attitudes, or some kind of color?? Or even if the characters were supposed to be ridiculously nice and laid-back, put t...

I flipping loved this book.It's my first Robyn Carr book. I've read a lot of good things about her here on Goodreads and also on Amazon, and I ordered several of her books this spring, hoping to get some time to read them.Recently widowed Melinda Monroe, a certified nurse midwife, decides that to move beyond her grief she must start her life again. She sells almost everything she owns and moves to Virgin River, a tiny town in the middle of the California forest. At first it seems the transition
Virgin River by Robyn Carr is a 2019 Mira publication ( originally published in 2007)Now I see why this series is so popular! Melinda Monroe is a nurse practitioner/ midwife living in the big city, enjoying nice clothes and shoes, and expensive hair highlights. But, when her husband dies, all the horrors of the city and her inescapable grief fuels her need for an escape. Without thinking it through, she accepts a job in Virgin River, population 600. Free cabin, beautiful, remote scenery… sounds
4.5 StarsLoved this! The rural setting of Virgin River: a secluded forest, simple life, and town folk that band together like a family was an absolute win for me. Mel got on my nerves a time or two, but I shouldn't really have been judgmental since she lost her husband only a year before. I completely LOVED and adored Jack. Oh my stars, every woman needs this man! Hunky, protective, just a total MAN! I enjoyed the whole medical aspect of the story. Mel was a midwife/nurse practitioner and a lot
I love this small town setting to bits and I'm going to continue reading the series for this alone The romance on the other hand while sweet, dragged for me, and all the conflicts-that-really-weren't didn't thrill either. Also the heroine never really choose the Jack. He was willing to bend over backwards no matter how far or for how long, and she never evolved to the point were she could openly accept and return his love. Yup, they end up together... but only out of circumstance; and cheesy let...
I am just one of those people that likes to read the book before watching the movie or television series. Book 1 in the Virgin River series, we meet Mel(Melinda) a nurse practitioner midwife that leaves behind pain and heartache in L.A. to find a fresh new start in this fictional rural town. But things don't get off to a great start and Mel will need to learn to shake off her city ways to acclimatize herself to a different way of thinking. Good thing retired Marine turned bartender, Jack is wil...
I wanted to read the book before watching the series on TV and I am so glad I did! So many lovable and charming characters, and that includes grumpy Doc. I adore small-town romances and this one definitely did not disappoint.
