Synopsis

Katie Malone and her twin boys’ trip along the beautiful mountain roads to Virgin
River is stopped short by a tire as flat as her failed romance. To make matters worse, the
rain has set in, the boys are hungry, and Katie doesn’t have the first clue about putting
on a spare. As she stands at the side of the road pondering her next move, she hears a
distinct rumble. The sight of the sexy, leather-clad bikers who pull up beside her puts
her imagination into overdrive.

Dylan Childress and his buddies are on the motorcycle trip of a lifetime. But the
sight of a woman in distress stops them in their tracks. And while the guys are checking
out her car, she and Dylan are checking out one another.

In one brief moment, the world tilts on its axis and any previous plans Katie and
Dylan might have had for their futures are left at the side of the road.

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.

Goodreads review by Floripiquita on December 06, 2018

3 raspadito. Nunca me ha llamado mucho la atención esta autora, de la que mi madre tiene algunos libros, uno de ellos éste. Las sinopsis de sus novelas hablan de historias bonitas que transcurren en pueblitos americanos situados en paisajes de postal donde todo el mundo se conoce y se ayuda. Y eso e......more

3 ½ stars – Contemporary Romance I’ve got to be honest. I love this longstanding series and it’s one of my favorites; but this installment was rather bland and a little boring. Dylan acted somewhat immature and self-indulgent and the romance between him and Katie didn’t feel very genuine to me. It’s......more

Goodreads review by Catherine on October 07, 2016

This was a delightful read. Katie is a strong and likable woman--a good mother, a widow who overcame not only sadness but also being relocated away from her only family. Dylan leaps off the page, a realistic, well-drawn character. Kudos to Ms. Carr. I highly recommend this book!......more
