Mel and Jack’s story
Sometimes all you need is a fresh start
When recently widowed Melinda Monroe sees an advert for a midwife in the remote town of Virgin River, she decides this is the perfect place to escape her heartache.
However, her hopes are dashed within an hour of arriving: the cabin is uninhabitable, the roads are treacherous and the local doctor wants nothing to do with her. But when a tiny baby is abandoned on a front porch, Mel must decide whether to stay and help or cut her losses and leave.
Helped by local barman, and former marine, Jack Sheridan, Mel must face her past, and finds that there may be a future in Virgin River after all.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Dive into the acclaimed Virgin River series (now an original TV hit) with Robyn Carr’s heartwarming first instalment. Widowed Melinda Monroe spots an ad in search of a midwife in the remote Virgin River (population: 600). Is she in search of refuge? An escape? Or perhaps simply a new career? Either way, Melinda makes the jump and embarks on her fresh start, only to have her hopes dashed in record time. But just as she opts to leave, an abandoned new-born baby changes her plans. Local barman and former marine Jack Sheridan comes to her assistance but Mel must face up to her past to find a future in the rural Californian town. Carr crafts brilliantly likeable and courageous characters that have quite rightly opened a portal to a worldwide romcom phenomenon.

I really enjoyed this book. I had a job to put it down. It was a brilliant story with lots happening and kept me gripped from beginning to end. It was the first time reading a book by this author and I was very impressed. I will definitely read another by her in the future! (Alison)
