Publisher's summary

Contemporary romance fans hold a special place in their hearts for New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr’s Virgin River novels—set in a quiet town nestled deep in California Redwood territory. The 17th entry in the series, Hidden Summit stars Leslie Petruso and Conner Danson, two people burned by love and ready to give up on the whole proposition. But the chemistry between them is impossible to deny, and if everyone in town can see it, why can’t they?

Featured Article: Virgin River—The Definitive Explainer


Before it was adapted into a Netflix show, Virgin River was a series of more than 20 novels by New York Times best-selling author Robyn Carr. The audiobooks, all read by Audie Award-winning narrator Thérèse Plummer, are well-loved by a wide audience. The series takes place in Virgin River and revolves around new resident Melinda Monroe, a nurse practitioner and midwife. There's more to this sleepy town than first appearances suggest.

Good story, good narration...

The Virgin River series is just so good. Every story has romance, suspense and a beautiful Happily Ever After. The main couple Connor and Leslie were just perfect for each other and they are both good people so I was definitely rooting for them. And then again this series has very likable recurrent characters specially Jack and Preacher. I've fallen in love with the whole town on Virgin River and I'm sad to know that it will soon come to an end.

Narration: it's Therese Plummer. By now the name speaks for itself. She is just one of the best narrators. There's no way she can possibly get less than four stars for her narration. She has an uncanny ability to portray each character so distinctively. This story has several men, women and even children as characters and you could differentiate them all.

I definitely recommend the Virgin River series and ANY book narrated by Therese Plummer. Very credit worthy.

Usual Robyn Carr story

Liked the book, it is the usual easy listening, takes you to another place that we are use to. I was thrilled she finally stopped using "delicious" in every romance scene, I don't think she used it once, which was good for me because I couldn't stand it. I was also thrilled to get no lectures on safe sex, it was becoming most annoying. No huge surprises in the book, the usual easy listening of Virgin River and Therese Plummer does these books well.

You gotta love Virgin River

The narrator was, as always, wonderful. The story was just what you would think from Robyn Carr and this series. A great escape to a place that would be wonderful to live. Anxious for the next title, wonder if it will be Patrick Riordan's story, maybe with someone's sister? Oh how I love that town and the wonderful sensitive men and wonderful confident women.

Another Virgin Rivers Winner!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend the Virgin River series to all my friends! There is enough descriptions of characters in each book so they can be read our of sequence, however, I recommend my friends start from the beginning and then I watch as they become hooked on this town like I am. Therese Plummer does an excellent job of narrating the characters. Connie and Leslie's story fit right in with what I have come to expect in Virgin Rivers.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked how Leslie overcame the hurt she suffered from a stupid ex-husband and realize that it was him - not her!

Which character – as performed by Therese Plummer – was your favorite?

Gosh! I can't say - she does such a good job with each character until I can identify who the character is even though I might not have heard her identify the person. She is outstanding! I don't know if someone else could do it as well as she can.

Who was the most memorable character of Hidden Summit and why?

It had to be Leslie. I loved her being able to stand up to her ex when he came to talk to her about them "being friends" and she running him away with the fire extinguisher.

Any additional comments?

Just a great book! I have all the books on my IPOD. I have listened to the entire series at least three times. I drove across country and started with Virgin Rivers and was able to go through 6 of the books while traveling. Only regret is that they are not available as soon as they are published. I have already read the book on my Nook before they are recorded.

Another home run for me!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Hidden Summit to be better than the print version?

I can't compare the two, my imagination will always do a better job when reading a book than listening to one!! The books always read more intense. But Terese Plummer is an excellent narrator and audiobooks get me thru my daily commute, in a positive frame of mind to tackle my work day!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Leslie, she finally saw through the lousy ex-husband, something I can personally relate too!!

What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

emotion and empathy for the characters.....

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Oh I got teary during a couple of the passages....

Any additional comments?

Hurry up and write more Ms Carr.......I have read all you have to offer, i will soon be going through withdrawal!!

Thank for all the hours of "take me away enjoyment!!

Love scenes too intense!

As far as romance novels go, the Virgin River is a good series. However, I don't think that I can enjoy too many more of the stories because of the formula - girl meets boy etc.
I find the loves scenes are unecessarily too graphic - somewhat pornographic.
I like the setting for the Virgin River stories, and the friendly/family atmosphere.
Therese Plummer is a great narrator.

absolutely adored it!

okay. this is one of those series that I've come back to, time and time again. I used to revisit it when it was in the Audible Romance/Escape packages, but since that was discontinued, I've been blowing credits so I NEVER have to go without Virgin River, ever again.
