Synopsis

Former marine Tom Cavanaugh has come home to Virgin River, ready to take over his family’s apple orchard
and settle down. He knows just what the perfect woman will be like: sweet, decent, maybe a little naive. The
marrying kind.
Nothing like Nora Crane. So why can’t he keep his eyes off the striking single mother?

Nora may not have finished college, but she graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks. She’s been
through tough times and she’ll do whatever it takes to support her family, including helping with harvest time at
the Cavanaughs’ orchard. She’s always kept a single-minded focus on staying afloat … but suddenly her thoughts
keep drifting back to rugged, opinionated Tom Cavanaugh.

Both Nora and Tom have their own ideas of what family means. But they’re about to prove each other
completely wrong …

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 ♡Karlyn P♡ on February 10, 2012

Sunrise Point was a WONDERFUL addition to an addictive series. For me, this one rated WAY up there when it comes to all of the books in this series. Be forewarned that this story goes for the heart. The romance unfolds slowly, and it becomes a beautiful friends-to-lovers romance. Desperate for money......more

Audiobook: Narrator - Therese Plummer As always, this narrator hits it out of the ballpark with another amazing narration. She is the official voice for Virgin River! Unfortunately, this was not a favorite by a long shot. This author went back to having ½ the book telling the story of who should be th......more

Una sencilla historia que se centra en la vida de Nora, una madre soltera de dos niñas, con una vida muy difícil y dispuesta a trabajar en lo que sea para sacar adelante a sus hijas, me han gustado los protagonistas y que no haya sido un instalove, pero para ser ser una historia romántica, le ha fal......more

Goodreads review by Jean on May 31, 2018

This is not the type of book I usually read. I noted on the cover it was listed as a romance novel. Thank goodness it was a pleasant story about a young mother and her two children. No sex until the end of the story. The book is well written. It is mostly a feel-good story. The characters are interes......more
