With her beloved younger siblings settled and happy, Erin Foley has empty-nest syndrome. At age thirty-five.
So she's hitting the pause button on her life and holing up in a secluded (but totally upgraded—she's not into roughing it) cabin near Virgin River. Erin is planning on getting to know herself…not the shaggy-haired mountain man she meets.
In fact, beneath his faded fatigues and bushy beard, Aiden Riordan is a doctor, recharging for a summer after leaving the navy. He's intrigued by the pretty, slightly snooty refugee from the rat race—her meditating and journaling are definitely keeping him at arm's length. He'd love to get closer…if his scruffy exterior and crazy ex-wife don't hold him back.
But maybe it's something in the water—unlikely romances seem to take root in Virgin River…helped along by some well-intentioned meddling, of course.
Erin and Mel almost semed to have had a personality swap. Last time we met Erin, she was cold and distant. Now, suddenly, shes a nice caring lady. Mel on the other hand has gone from nice and caring to unbelievably self centered and thoughtless of others. As the aunt of a high functioning Downs niece, I was glad to se Art finally get a romance. One more of those nice Riordan boys got claimed. Colins book was my introduction to the series,even though it folows this one chronologicaly. I think the baby, Patrick, is the only one left single. Guess hell show up somewhere in the remaining books 1620 that I have yet to read. .
Maybe it's because I have not read any of the previous books in this series I was not aware that it was part of a series until after I started reading it, but I found this book to be a bit unclear, as far as the characters involved. There were too many characters in it and it seems the author rambled back and forth between story lines a bit too much for my taste.I will not bother to read any other books in this series.
