"If I wanna be honest about this book, I can say I was tired of all that explanation about characters. I'm not against the power of story-telling of Robyn Carr but I think, it was too excessive at some point and you felt that you have already read what she has said before. Perhaps,I was used to read the books that wrap up the whole story not with focused details. Hence, talking about the story and the way June Hudson hid his lover from all nosy people of Grace Valley was thrilling and full of excitement."

“Ms. Carr deftly follows a strong and brave woman through a portion of her life, giving readers a glimpse of what lies beneath the face of many small towns in this country.”
— RT Book Reviews“Carr offers a well-written, warm-hearted story and a genuinely fun read.”
— Publishers Weekly" Oh my goodness, I'm very glad I started the Grace Valley triology before the Virgin River series, it was able to give me a slightly better background to the Virgin River series when they refer to the Grace Valley Doctors. I was not able to put this book down wondering what was going to happen next. "
— Laura, 2/20/2014" Very detailed book that is the beginning of this series that has a real good explanation of each character and starts building the background for the town, characters, and situations. It is similar, but yet different, than the Virgin River Series and some of these characters are mentioned and intertwined with the Virgin River Series. Very good book - can't wait to reach the rest of the trilogy. "
— Lori, 2/16/2014" More novel than romance. Carr didn't cover any new ground, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book. "
— Bob, 1/18/2014" Had a hard time getting into the book. I didn't feel I connected with the main character and didn't like how the perspective changed from the view of the different characters, it sometimes becomes hard to keep track of it all. "
