While Virgin River is a charming romance novel, there are other storylines going on in the book. I thought the characters as well as the situations were realistic and developed. He is taken with Mel right away and comes up with a plan to keep her in their little town. Jack Sheridan is an ex-marine who owns Jack’s the local bar and restaurant. I liked the variety of quirky characters in Virgin River that include Preacher (the cook at Jack’s), Hope McCrea, and Doc Mullins (crotchety local doctor with a heart of gold). Mel fails to tell the people in her new town that she is a widow and another reason she needed a fresh start. This has Mel changing her plans which she claims is just temporary. Then a newborn is found on the local doctor’s front porch.

Mel decides that Virgin River is not for her. Mel soon discovers that Hope’s pictures were not current and her clothing choices not to mention her car are not appropriate for the environment.

Mel packs expensive jeans ($100 plus per pair) along with her beautiful leather boots into her BMW and heads into the mountains.


The icing on the cake is the charming cabin that comes with position. The position in Virgin River seems to be what she needs, and it is confirmed after seeing the pictures sent to her by Hope McCrea. Melinda Monroe is feeling burnout from her position at a 3,000 bed hospital and is looking for a change. It shows what life is like up the small mountain town of Virgin River which has about six hundred residents. Virgin River by Robyn Carr captured my attention from the very beginning.
