"Another well written Virgin River novel. Two new characters are introduced that I'm sure will appear in upcoming books, Clay Tahoma, a Navajo, and Lilly Yahzi, a Hopi. First time for a Native American couple in this series and very interesting especially the touch on some of the tribal customs. Then there is the death of Hope McCrea, a character who first appeared in the first of the series. Her will leaves the money (and there's lots of it) to the town, with Jack as the executor. He makes a few short-term enemies when he won't dole out the money to anyone who asks for it, but in the end it benefits the whole town. I'm up to 2011 in publication dates, even though I just started this series!"

" I love Robyn's writing, especially her characters. This is her newest book in the Virgin River series. Not my number one favorite, but still a good read. "
— Tricia, 2/17/2014 -
" 3.5/5 I didn't enjoy this one as much as I have some of the others, which I am a bit disappointed by given that the main characters are different from all the other we have seen before. "
— Marg, 12/30/2013 -
" Great story! Clay the was so sexy, beautifully described and I could picture his long hair. His sexual, in-charge way in the bedroom (or kitchen) was hot! Lily's gay friend's reaction to Clay was priceless. Carr just has a way of connecting her characters that I just love. I enjoyed the nasty ex-wife and her manipulations even though it lead to a heartbreaker. I always like that 3rd party conflict when they get caught. I can't get enough of Virgin River, the stories always touch me, make me cry and then make me happy. Robyn Carr's got it! "

" I enjoyed it very much and like the direction Robyn Carr has taken the Virgin River series. "
— Mary, 12/14/2013 -
" I did not like this book as much as the other Virgin River books that I have read. The story line seemed to bounce back and forth way too much. It just didn't flow well for me. It was almost like I was reading two different books at once. "
— Missy, 12/3/2013 -
" The author introduced new potential characters, then they were not resolved in the end. Maybe for the next book? "
— Jeanie, 11/2/2013 -

" A pleasant diversion, but a bit cliche'. "
— Rannie, 11/13/2012 -
" New Characters - Navajo Clay Tahoma and Hopi Lily Yazhi. Good story. Also up to date on Nathaniel the Vet and his fiancee Annie. "
— Danthony74, 4/29/2012 -
" This was a sweet story of two native Americans that find love even through the hardships they've endured in past relationships. Clay and Lilly were a sweet couple I think and I liked their story. As always I love the virgin river series and I'm happy as I always am after finishing these books. "
— *Hayley*, 1/1/2012 -
" Another good book in this series. Full of action with new and old characters invoking a range of emotions. Clay comes to Virgin River with his gift for gentling horses to work with veterinary friend and meets fellow Native American Lilly. "

" Not as good as I thought it would be. "

— Isabel, 5/12/2011 -
" Another entertaining Robyn Carr book in her Virgin River series.<br/>Especially nice if you love horses ...since there is a lot about gentling horses <br/>and working with troubled horses in the book. A good book to get lost in. "
— Dr., 5/7/2011 -
" I always enjoy this series. It was wonderful going back to Virgin River, seeing old characters and meeting new ones. "
— Kimberly, 4/10/2011 -
" I received this through one of the Goodreads giveaways. I enjoyed it as a simple, easy read but I was confused how it jumped a bit to different characters. I finally figured out each book in the series builds on characters already mentioned.<br/><br/>I may pick up other ones in the series "
— Carrie, 4/9/2011 -
" I liked this a lot more than I expected too. Glad I picked it up and am looking forward to the next two in the series. I haven't said that since the second book in the series. "
— Jenreadsyahoo.com, 3/21/2011 -
" Great book! <br/>It does help to read them in order. but you don't need to. "
— Jeanne, 3/20/2011 -
" I enjoyed this tale set in and about Virgin River, CA. I've vacationed in the Fort Bragg, Mendocino area and enjoyed the details of the setting. The cast of characters are familiar and well drawn. The main characters are appealing. The plot is well done and it ends happily. "
