so-soCheesy but sweet, this book follows a very predictable plot of big city girl (Mel) heads to a tiny town to be its midwife and falls in love. Add in some grief because she is a young widow and you‘ve got the story. I liked the supporting cast members, the cook/fellow ex-marine at the restaurant, the old curmudgeon doctor, the new friends she makes in the community, etc. Definitely entertaining though I don‘t think I‘ll continue the series.
I think it‘s amazing that Jack can deliver a baby because the experience he received in one of the last books I read in this series.
pickDon‘t get me wrong, I LOVE the Netflix series, but this is way better. Stalled my whole Saturday because I had to keep reading. This book is devoted to the love story of Paige and Preacher without neglecting the continued life of Jack and Mel.
pickEven better than the Netflix series (though it‘s amazing how close they stuck to it). Mel moves to Virgin River as the new Nurse Practitioner/Midwife as a way to escape the tragedy of her life in the big city. She‘s amazed to find life still challenging but also healing…and, of course, it‘s a love story.
pickBook 1 of the Virgin River series and it was good! A little cringey for a few parts (mostly dealing with Lizzie, I mean she‘s 14y/o I think that was a bit unnecessary). But other than that, it did follow closely with the show, which was nice. I will continue with the series as I wait for the next season to release!
pickThis series was not on my radar until I binge-watched the Netflix series in the early days of the Covid lockdown. Discovering characters adapted to screen seldom impedes me from enjoying the book later, so I wanted to at least read the first book to decide if the adaption has similar vibes to the book. Significant differences but similar vibe! ↓
