Publisher's summary

Welcome to Grace Valley, California - where blood runs thicker…ties are stronger…and love is all the more sweet. Visitors to the town often remark about the valley's peace and beauty - both of which are plentiful. Unlocked doors, front porches, pies cooling in the windows - this is country life at its finest. But visitors don't always see what lies at the heart of a community. Or just beyond.…

June Hudson grew up in Grace Valley, the daughter of the town doctor. Leaving only to get her medical training, she returned home and followed in her father's footsteps. Some might say she chose the easy, comfortable route…but June knows better. For June, her emergency room is wherever she's needed - or wherever a patient finds her. She is always on call, her work is her life and these people are her extended family. Which is a good thing, since this is a town where you should have picked your husband in the ninth grade. Grace Valley is not exactly the place to meet eligible men - until an undercover DEA agent suddenly starts appearing at all sorts of strange hours. Everybody has secrets down in the valley. Now June has one of her own.

Such a wonderful story!

This feel good story will leave you wanting more! I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

This book is well written and a better narrator could not have been chosen.

Highly recommend to anyone who'd like to smile and feel part of a small town for awhile.

Very enjoyable, and gets even better!

I love both author and narrator, so had high expectations. Was a little surprised when the main characters stories continued through the trilogy rather than being primarily completed in the first book like the authors other books, so I waited to review until the end of the trilogy. Turns out I LOVE it! It’s going on my regular read list!!! This book is good, but the story gets even better as the series goes, which I find is frequently not the case. A great addition to my collection!

excellent story! even better naration!

this is such a great story! can't wait for the next book! kept me at the edge of my seat!

Awesome

Where’s the rest? I’m so excited to keep reading them. I just hope they aren’t going to be full of heavy long winded detailed sexual scenes and tons of using Jesus’ name as a curse word and G D as curse words. In life everywhere I go, activity center, playhouse, stores, church, beach, restaurants, even the laundromat & stores, I never hear those words out loud. Even at the Bar and grill! People say sh_t or da_n , I hardly ever hear the F word at all (unless you were to go to AA meetings) or nasty bars, but at the pizza parlor or fish n chips or harbor, I just don’t hear people talking nasty words let alone calling people bad things. Not now a days- thank God. Back in the 90’s it was terrible and early 2000’s but the last 5-6 years not so much. It’s wonderful. And we don’t need heavy sex to know they enjoyed each other. We have imaginations. We don’t need x rated in a nice book. These aren’t shades of grey! I don’t read crap like that!

Great Book!

The was very expiring would recommend read this or listening to it. The end was really exciting.

Just okay

I have listened to almost all of Robyn Carr’s novels and this one was endearing but I found myself missing the beautifully descriptive intimate scenes between the lovers. Most of her other novels are very tastefully done and you can feel and imagine it happening. But in this novel she skips over the whole thing. There are a lot of good back stories but without this look into the romance of the main characters it was just a long book about a cute town.

The Love of Town Folk

life & Death
Sin & Forgiveness
Unusual & Common
Babies & The Elderly

Deep in the Valley

June stood in the shower for a long time. George sent the family to June’s house. The family where the Mall’s. Clarence mall, and the mom wore a hat with a long scar. They have 2 15 years olds. One a girl, and one a boy. Tom got called it to the Craven house, so he sent Lee with him. Sometimes he would beat the tar out of the whole family, sometimes without even drinking. Tom is married to Philana Topeak. Tom is a law enforcement officer. He is the chief. She married Clayton Claypool, and they had 17 good years. And then somehow he mysteriously disappeared. Clarice Wickham married to the preacher, was a horrible preacher he hit on most of the ladies.It was very sad when Meiko passed away, he was in expecting a grandchild. June had sex with Jim Post and forgot her diaphragm, maybe in the next book Just Over the Mountain, she will be pregnant with Jim Post baby. They had the Fourth of July parade and her Aunt Myrna bought June a fully loaded ambulance. Full of everything it needed. I am looking forward to listening to Just Over the Mountain to see if June is pregnant.

Loved it!

Super story, and actually one of my favorite’s from Ms. Carr! I deeply enjoy her characters. Narrator, Therese Plummer, is totally outstanding as always!
