Angel's Peak (Virgin River Book 10)

We have moved the focus from finding the local couples of Virgin River together and are now with the Riordan crew. Sean is reconnecting with the one that got away and momma Maureen is finally accepting that she doesn’t have to be single after being widowed 12 years.

These books are truly wonderful. They keep you wanting to read more! I highly suggest reading her books. I lost this book in the middle of reading it, place to place with family and I immediately went to Kindle so I didn’t have to buy a hardcopy of it. I only had 65 pages left. But I needed to finish it.

Angel's Peak, another in Robyn Carr's Virgin River series is proof that the books keep getting better and better. This is the story of hotshot U-2 pilot Sean Riordan and Franci Duncan. Together as a couple for two years, Franci wanted marriage and children; Sean felt they were committed, but he didn't want the ring or the rug rats. The romance ended badly with things said that finished the relationship. What wasn't said, on Franci's part, is that she was pregnant. Feeling Sean wasn't committed, she didn't want him to "do the honorable thing" if his heart wasn't in it, so she fled to her mother's. Vivian and her daughter moved north and found work in Eureka and Redding-Vivian as a medical assistant in a doctor's office, and Franci, after daughter Rosie was born, as a flight nurse running medical helicopter runs. Meanwhile, Sean is burning up excess leave from Beale Air Force Base in Virgin River. He hasn't forgotten Franci, and after making a couple of attempts to locate her, he's been on his own except for a few less-than satisfactory short-term relationships. One night he stops at a bar in Arcata to give brother Luke and his new wife Shelby some space and discovers Franci with a group of women. She is not happy to see him, and not inclined to share that she has his daughter-at least not yet.After a kerfuffle in a supermarket parking lot where Sean takes a beating from a trucker protecting Franci, he persuades her to give him a call so they can talk.Franci has a dinner date with a college professor that ends badly, and when the professor drives her home, Sean is parked across the street. He follows her to the door and she reluctantly lets him in to talk but doesn't tell him about Rosie. The talk turns passionate as Sean turns on the charm, and they spend an incredible night together. However, the next morning, Vivian, who lives four houses down, returns Rosie to Franci's, and Sean gets the shock of a lifetime. He has absolutely no idea how to talk to a child, but soon discovers he wants to get to know this three and a half-year-old pixie with the Riordan red hair and green eyes-his "Wide Iwish Rose". Some help from Jack's regulars starts him on his way, and as the days pass cocky Sean discovers an entirely different side of him. Winning over Franci is a different matter.Other Virgin River regulars make appearances and there are family gatherings, friendships made and lasting commitments in unexpected places. I particularly enjoyed Maureen Riordan's awakening from almost nun to enlightened. Her friendship with Vivian was wonderful. And George Davenport is a wonderful addition to the Virgin River family. We get a glimpse of Noah Kincaid and Ellie, also Dan Brady and Cheryl Chreighton. This is a delightful "feel good" book that gets two thumbs way up from me.

I loved the Virgin River series the first time, it it has been a while. Now a new book is coming out in late 2020, so I am rereading them. I love how we get to see complete lives in this series. You may meet them in a previous story, but they will be in following stories as well. This is truly a series about a community. Sean is trying to reconnect with an old girlfriend, but Franci has an adorable reason for worrying about what happens if they do. Rosie is a super addition to the story, as is Maureen. Read the story to find out what happens!The pace is fast, the tone is hopeful and the storyline is character oriented with some slightly steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and complex. You just fall in love with the whole group of them. If you like your contemporary romances with a huge cast of fantastic characters, believable issues and complex emotions, then this is a series for you. Read them in order if this is your first time, or re-read them to get ready for Return to Virgin River! Enjoy!

I read all of the Virgin River series and absolutely loved it. There is just enough steamy mixed with adventure, mystery, sometimes crime, and lots of drama! I couldn't put them down. It only took me about 4 months to read all of this series (many many books to enjoy!) and I wish there were more! 10/10 highly recommend this series! It is way better than the TV rendition.

Another visit through the caring, funny, loving characters of virgin river. Carr's ability to run others storylines along side the main make it all the most interesting

I love the series, but I’ve really struggled to push myself to read through this book - this one has taken me months and I’m still not at the end. Normally I can’t wait to get to the end of them! Pleasant enough, but I expected it to be a bit more engaging with a pastor and a stripper involved!

Another good read, I love this series of books. The characterisation is good and the storylines are really interesting. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Good
