"I have mixed emotions on this addition to the series. While I would not miss reading it, I found myself questioning and escaping from the book frequently. It didn't keep my attention like most of the others have done. I did find Aiden and Erin to be an interesting couple and I enjoyed their bantering. However, I didn't enjoy the revisist to Virgin River nearly as much as I have in the past. I'm glad Jack stood up for his beliefs and feelings towards Mel's latest demands. And, in the end, I was pleased that Mel came through in a winning way. I do enjoy those Riordans -- they are certainly a fun family. And I'm enjoying the relationship between Maureen and George."

" One of her more interesting books in the series. Many overlapping characters and threads so the romance didn't get many pages. I have no idea why she added the "stalker" thread, IMO didn't make the romance thread anymore interesting or give its characters anymore depth. "
— farmwifetwo, 2/10/2014" This is the first time I've actually felt that Mel and Jack were superfluous to the story... in fact, I got quite annoyed at Mel in this book. I fell in love with Aiden, when I really didn't care for him the first time we saw him. And Erin is probably my favorite heroine so far. "
— Jennifer, 2/8/2014" Sometimes reading a classic romance/chick book is OK. Carr's Virgin River series are classic. "
— Laureen, 1/22/2014" Another good one. Only 3more and I am all caught up. Loved Aiden and Marcie. Aiden was similiar to Ian and Marcie's reaction was priceless. "
— Jenn, 1/20/2014" 10th book in the series and im still not bored or over it... This one was especially good because it brought back alot of the main characters, Mel & Jack, even Preacher for a few scenes! I really like the Riodran's - I hope she writes all the brothers into the series! "
— Tara, 1/7/2014" I am just so in love with Virgin River and this adventure further cements that love. Robyn is a wonderful storyteller and her characters are so real and multidimensional. It is always such a delightful treat to journey to Virgin River and spend some time with what seem like wonderful friends. "
— Amber, 12/3/2013" Predictable and Unrealistic...Exactly why I don't read romance novels. It was just a quick read in between reads for me. "
— Meghan, 9/28/2013" Another 4stars! This one is the best one so far! "
— Veronica, 9/24/2013" Not my favorite. Aiden probably is one of my favorite heroes but the subplots drove me crazy. I couldn't figure out why so many characters were acting so stupidly. "
— Rachel, 9/24/2013" *3.5 stars* Aiden and Erin's story was pretty cute. Always love catching up with the Riordan family in this series. Mel Sheridan on the other hand, went a little crazy over wanting a third baby. That storyline wasn't my favorite, but you really can't go wrong with a Virgin River novel. "
— Courtney, 5/26/2013" I absolutely love this series and this book definitely did not disappoint. Fantastic storyline and characters. "
