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.

Get ready to be sucked in!

Would you consider the audio edition of Deep in the Valley to be better than the print version?

I LOVE Therese Plummer's silky voice and mastery of different characters! When I read the seriesin print, I still imagine her reading.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Deep in the Valley?

Some ofthe scenes take my breath away! It's just a beautiful story!

What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

When I try to imagine that it is only she who is reading, I can't because the characters are so developed.

If you could take any character from Deep in the Valley out to dinner, who would it be and why?

June Hudson. I'm sure she has seen some amazing things!! How can she be so tough, and still so soft??

Any additional comments?

Beware...I started on this series a few weeks ago, and now I can't stop listening! I'm totally sucked in. I actually caught myself looking for a place to move that's just like Grace Valley or Virgin River. One caveat: Audible doesn't have the entire Grace Valley Series, so I had to use another provider, and I'm still waiting on the recording of the 3rd book. Anyway, I just skipped to the Virgin River Series, which is an amazing transition!

Robyn Got Me Again!

After listening to all 17 (or so) Virgin River books and becoming attached to the town and its colorful characters, I really didn't want to start a new series and learn new characters, but Robyn's writing style is so engaging that I decided to give the Grace Valley series a try. Well, Ms. Carr got me again! After just the first book I was hooked and am already listening to book two. I'm glad Therese Plummer is also narrating Grace Valley. I loved listening to her reading of the Virgin River books and continue to enjoy her entertaining character affectations in Grace Valley. So far there is no crossover of characters between the two locations, but I'm waiting...

Grace Valley Just a hop/skip from Virgin River

This trilogy came first with Virgin River as the spin off. I love Therese Plummer and am so glad she narrates all of both series. These stories are the best get away stories ever. You got to love the people Robyn Carr has created. I like that she has her " family" of characters experience love, death, happiness and pain. They are loveable and flawed.

Great book!!!!

This is one of several books of Robyn Carr’s that’s I’ve listened to. They are all fabulous!!! She makes you fall in love with the lovable characters and dislike the not so lovable characters. I love her description of the settings! It makes me want to move to the mountains!
