This one was a mess. I loved the first 3 books of the series, but this one was simply awful!The heroine was a total bitch. She was rude, pushy, selfish, ungrateful, nosy and completely unfair. I simply couldn't stand her and I don't get how we're supposed to believe anyone else wants to be around her. Ugh! The hero was a pushover with no personality. The side-story on his side was cringy and totally unrealistic. The fact that they got together just 2 months after Vanessa's husband's death (which...
Loved it! As I read in another review, reading a Virgin River book is like visiting old friends. It was so neat to catch up with characters from previous books. This is NOT a stand alone and not to be read by someone without having read the earlier books, IMHO. There should be a big #5 written along the cover!I've been anticipating reading the story for Vanessa and Paul since they were first introduced earlier in the series. Vanessa's husband was killed in Iraq while she was on the last trimeste...
I listened to the audio version and it was really good. But, all the ANGST makes this a really bad book, IMO. I came really close to DNF on this one at the first chapter, but I needed an audio book and this one was on my "to Read" list and the one I wanted was not available. This series is sooooo full of angst and it is sooooo not my taste in romance. The primary couple, Vannie and Paul, took up maybe a quarter of the page total. The rest was filled with everyone else in Virgin River and some re...
2 Stars This book didn't work for me. I didn't like the hero or heroine and felt there were way too many POVs. To top it off, the plot was all over the place. Still, I enjoy this series as a whole. You just can't love them all. These books are the perfect "getting into the holiday spirit" type of read. They have a quaint, almost Hallmark-movie type feel to them that leaves me feeling uplifted. That said, I don't think I'd have the patience to read them, as they're not as couple centered as I pr...
This is more like a 3.60. I just really didn't love this one as much as the others. It was engrossing, but most of the time I was frustrated.It's the women. For some reason, in Second Chance Pass, they're all crazy, or bitchy or stupid or a combination of all three. It's very annoying. I've liked the female leads in all the books up until this one. Most of the women, not just Vanni, were practically howl-at-the-moon nuts. And the men came off as more whipped than usual, which is far from my pref...
2.5 starsHaving read many reviews of Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series up to this book, I am aware that many readers have had problems with the prevalence of women’s health and pregnancy content throughout these books. Up until Second Change Pass, I did not count myself among their number.With the central character of Mel being a nurse practitioner and midwife, I found it for the most part to be in keeping with her profession and if at times it could come across a little preachy, it never dimmed
I am amazed it's taken quite a while to get back to the residents of Virgin River. Although what I term as fluffy it was a great story, made all the better by an excellent narrator - Therese Plummer brings the story to life and keeps you engaged from start to finish.If you love Jill Shavis' Lucky Harbor and Susan Mallery's Fools Gold then it's time you planned a trip to Virgin River.
For me, the highlight of this book was Preacher and Paige having their baby. I would give that part a five star review by itself.Vanessa's and Paul's portion of the story - 1.5 StarsPreacher's and Paige's - 5 StarsUnfortunately, I very much dislike (okay, hate) the trope where a woman tries to trap a man into marriage or child support by telling him her pregnancy is by him. This happened right after he re-met his one true love. This book is about Vanessa and Paul and I didn't care for their part...
In the space of a few months Vanessa buried her husband, Matt, and gave birth to their son--breaking her heart while filling it with a whole new kind of love. But the one man she longs to share this love with now acts as if she doesn't exist.Paul Haggerty lives by the marine motto: Semper Fi. Ever faithful to his best friend, he's done right by Matt's widow as best he can...considering he's been secretly in love with her for years. Now, just as he's about to make his move, another woman has stak...
How to describe Robyn Carr's Second Chance Pass? I would have to say it's like a hokey, slice of life wholesome soap opera based in a little mountain town in Northern California. It's a place where no one uses birth control. LOL. Also, almost every storyline in this book has it's roots in previous books so I don't recommend starting with this book if you are new to the Virgin River series. Second Chance Pass has a lot of different storylines going on and this time around it didn't work for me as...
oh wow this was such a huge disappointment...first of all the baby is 6 weeks old and her husband has been dead for what 4 months and she's like I'm ready to move on....eh...OK? I thought that it at least has gone a couple of months...why does everything has to happen so fast in these books? And the mother in-law trying to set her up this soon..not likely to ever happen..And the deal with the other woman if she's on the pill, you use a condom she "gets" pregnant wants to get married and then go
