Synopsis

A RITA Award winner, New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr has garnered critical acclaim for her wildly
popular series set in the mountain community of Virgin River, California. This 10th entry features a scruffy-looking
physician and a prickly lawyer.

With her younger siblings now on their own, attorney Erin Foley has empty nest syndrome at age 35. Planning
to reassess her life, she finds refuge in a secluded cabin near Virgin River. But Erin never expects to be spooked by
a shaggy-haired mountain man wielding a machete. Beneath his faded fatigues and bushy beard, Aiden Riordan is
actually a 36-year-old doctor on a summer sabbatical. Intrigued by the pretty, slightly snooty Erin, he’d love to know
her better—if only his unkempt appearance and crazy ex-wife don’t get in the way.

As Carr skillfully intertwines the lives of two polar opposites, Thérèse Plummer’s narration highlights the humor
and romance of this enthralling tale.

About Robyn Carr

Robyn Carr was first published in 1978, and it took her thirty years to make it to The New York Times bestseller List,” referring to 2007’s A Virgin River Christmas. But that was just the beginning of what has become an amazing career.

When Bring Me Home for Christmas, the 16th Virgin River novel, was released in November 2011, it debuted in the #1 slot not just on the New York Times roster, but also on the Barnes & Noble and Publishers Weekly lists as well. Eleven of her books, including eight Thunder Point novels, have all earned the coveted #1 New York Times slot the first week on sale, with one book scoring two weeks on top the list. The Hero, her September 2013 Thunder Point novel, debuted in the #1 position on seven national bestseller lists: USA Today, Publishers Weekly, New York Times Mass-market Fiction, New York Times eBook Fiction, New York Times Combined Print/eBook Fiction, the Wall Street Journal, and Bookscan.

Surprisingly, Robyn didn’t always know she wanted to be a writer. She had planned to become a nurse. She married her high school sweetheart four weeks before he left for Air Force Officer’s Training School at the peak of the Vietnam War. Because she found herself following Jim from base to base, Robyn never had a chance to pursue nursing. Her husband worked long hours and often traveled. To pass the time Robyn read. When doctors instructed her to stay down and keep her feet up during a complicated pregnancy, her neighbor began bringing her ten paperbacks a week.

Robyn has always written about strong women, no matter the period in which they live. For the first fifteen years of her career she wrote romance, the early books of which were all historical, but later included contemporaries. Needing a change, she branched out and wrote a thriller, which she said she’ll never do again because, for her, it was too creepy. She also tried her hand at non-fiction and what she smilingly describes as “several brilliant but as yet unsold screenplays,” in addition to articles and short stories.

She says that reading is important because people need a safe place to deal with the emotions they’re stuck with, and a book is a safe place to do that. She believes there’s great value in her novels dealing with real issues in a realistic manner.

In April 2016 MIRA books will publish their first Robyn Carr hardcover novel, What We Find, the introduction to a new series by the popular author. Set in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, What We Find explores the healing powers of rural Colorado in a brand-new story of fresh starts, budding relationships and one woman’s journey to finding the happiness she’s long been missing.

Robyn and her husband enjoy traveling, often taking research trips together. Their son and daughter are grown. Robyn says that, in addition to reading her novels and making snide remarks about how she’s used family scenarios to her advantage, they have made her a happy grandmother.

Reseña completa: [URL not allowed] es una novela totalmente coral y sale un montón de gente, con el mismo protagonismo que los nuevos. Ese es el problema y, supongo que la ventaja, los que siguen la serie desde el principio estarán encantados de ver qué tal les va pero a mí no......more

Dear Ms. Carr, I love this series, especially because all 10 books are on audio and narrated by Therese Plummer (aka Savannah Richards) who is, bar none, the best in the business.

5 stars – Contemporary Romance This is another sweet, dramatic, moving, emotional, and romantic addition to Carr’s superb Virgin River saga, which remains one of my top favorite series.

Opening Line: "In the two weeks Aiden Riordan had been in Virgin River, he's hiked over a hundred miles and grown himself a pretty hefty dark red beard." Erin Foley’s character was first introduced to the Virgin River series way back in book #4 A Virgin River Christmas now she’s back and a whole lot......more

#RitaCarr #RitaRita2 Escogí la lectura para este mes del reto hace meses, al coger un Kindle Flash y no ha resultado una buena forma de hacer la elección... le doy 2,5 sobre 5.
