I can't believe these words are coming from my keyboard, but I was actually a little disappointed with this one. Don't get me wrong, Robyn Carr can write the most mundane stuff about Virgin River and I'd still be interested enough to read it, but I was nearly half way through this book before things really started to happen. And yes, I like the older couple, retired Army General Walt and former movie star Muriel, but I don't want them to be the front-burner romance. And sorry to any sixty-someth...

Okay, I had no business reading this book as relentlessly as I did. I couldn't put it down and now I've accomplished exactly nothing today but finishing this installment in record time.There are four couples in this one. Rick and Liz seem to be considered the primary, but Abby and Cameron take center stage just as much, IMO. Walt and Murial are a nice side story, being nearly senior citizens and all. While some people might be grossed out by the old person sex, I think there's enough to let us k...

4.5 StarsOh, I loved this one even though I wanted to smack Rick more than a few times! Even though I know he had a right, Rick was very much throwing his own pity party. The whole thing was very emotional! Liz showed a lot of strength and, thankfully, spine! After finishing the last book I thought Abby would've been worse. Don't get me wrong, she had her frustrating moments, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Love that Vanny gave it to her straight up! Cameron was just all kinds of awesomeness!...

3.5 StarsVery sad about Rick and what happened to him, just wished the story had focused more on his recovery, instead his and Liz's story seem to fade into the background.....I would have possibly rated this 4.5 - 5.0 Stars if there had been more of them, after all the synopsis described this as their story! :((

4.5 Paradise Valley StarsI loved every book so far, I was looking forward to this book Rick grew on me with each book that went by. Liz and Rick were meant to be you knew it right from the very beginning. I don’t care that they were young when you know you know. They went through more than most people do in a lifetime and come out the other side maybe not whole but still breathing and that’s really all you can ask for. They both grew up so young. And if you read the other books you know what I a...

Depressing. Because this was #7 in a long series where I was already attached to many of the characters I enjoyed this book. The author used a lot of ink explaining previous stories, summing up earlier books and though it might be necessary for those new to this series, it was annoying for me--who read them all--to have to be spoonfed the drama all over again...filler. As usual, this had several stories running through it:Cameron and Abby: Their story held my attention the most and wish they had...

What to say...what to say...I find myself a bit torn on my feelings for this book. Because I liked it a lot. It was a quick, enjoyable read with characters I love. At the same time, I was disappointed in it and somewhat frustrated because it wasn't what I expected, or what I necessarily wanted.Paradise Valley is the seventh book in Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, and the third and final book in the most recent trilogy. This book basically picks up threads started in previous books, which makes...

This book had me in tears at a few points. It was a build up of character development that began in book one. So many emotions and feelings. I just love this small town with multiple stories developing over all the books. And even when the story ends, the characters' stories continue as the books go on.

It would have been a 4 but I freakin hated abby so so so so sooooooooo much. Gwahhhhh I fuckin hated her!!!!

5 stars – Contemporary RomanceParadise Valley is perhaps the darkest and most depressing book of the series so far and it’s very light on romance. I really enjoyed the sweet, funny dynamics of Muriel and Walt’s relationship, but I didn’t necessarily want them as the main spotlight couple.Rick’s traumatic ordeal in Iraq and subsequent downward spiral into anger, depression, and despair is truly heartbreaking. Rick and Liz have already endured so much together, and I’ve been rooting for their HEA....

Read this one a few years back!

I have finally come to the conclusion that this series is no longer about one particular romance with each installment. It has evolved into a love story that is more about a community rather than a couple and it reads more like a soap opera (minus the over-the-top dramatics) than a single tale. That can be a good thing for those who like continuing sagas where one gets to keep up with previous players while enjoying new and interesting characters. It can also be a bad thing if one prefers focus....

Another awesome read in a fantastic series! A lot of angst & turmoil in this one, but a good, solid ending as always. Several couples share the spotlight: Cameron & Abby, Rick & Liz, Walt & Muriel, and even mystery guy Dan & Cheryl get some page time! Loss, grief, tears - this is a heartbreaker and yet through it all, you always feel the love of family in Virgin River. A Must Read! Looking forward to the next one!

This Virgin River book in a twist from what I've read in the past, starts out sad and suspenseful. It was good in the end but it felt like the book split between three very different couples and as a result I wasn't super invested in any of them. It is still escapist reading and I enjoyed it but not as much as the first books in the series.

This was not my favorite in this series. First of all, Cameron got on my nerves. Really I could not stomach him. So his whole story with Abby just made me want to throw the book against the wall. There was a wonderful part with Dan and Rick that just had me in tears. I don't even know why I continued with this series. It was OK, but every single book had the same sort of theme and why does everyone HAVE to get pregnant? sheeesh... it seems these stories can't be complete without all the babies.

Marine corporal Rick Sudder is home early from Iraq—his tour ended abruptly on the battlefield. The carefree boy is gone, replaced by a man who believes his future is as bleak as his mirror image. But can the passion and commitment of a young woman who has never given up on him mend his broken body and shattered heart? 5 Stars!! As the people of Virgin River rally around Rick, another recent arrival tests the tightly knit mountain town's famous welcoming spirit. Dan Brady has a questionable past...
