Typical Virgin River Book

I was needing a good story. It is another book that you know the ending right from the start, but that's what Robyn's books are all about. Nice story, listened all day, put me a calm mood and the day just flowed. Now I just have to wait for a longer book, hope it doesn't take too long.

My kind of Christmas romance...

If you want to listen to an excellent romance story with a Christmas backstory then you must get this audiobook. This book is part of the Virgin River series but it can very well be listened to on its own. It's a beautiful love story of two people that have gone through a lot and found love when they least expected it. I loved how the Christmas theme was incorporated into the story. And I mean the true meaning of Christmas, about helping people in need, about giving back and appreciating your family. This book has become one of my favorite books in the VR series and definitely my favorite Holiday romance.

Narration: another flawless narration by Therese Plummer. She's just the best! I highly recommend this sweet, sexy and wonderful love story with a Christmas theme.

The longest Series I've Ever read!!!!!!

oh my goodness what can I say this is definitely the longest and the best Ares that I've ever read I am a fan forever of Robin car she can make you cry she can make you laugh she can make you and Phillip every one of her characters and it went from one couple all the way to 20 different couples and it was so neat to see the entire town built together each relationship my kind of Christmas is definitely my best and favorite of the series I recommend this to everybody whether you want just a sweet read or if you're really into Romance Robyn Carr is an awesome author

Disappointing

Virgin River books are supposed to be about Virgin River citizens. Naming someone Riordan or making them a Sheridan and plopping them down into the bar is not enough to give them VR status - unless you include updated back story on the characters to whom they are related.


Angie and Patrick are both good characters, but their story didn't need VR to "work." Throwing the ever-annoying Mel into the mix with very little reason didn't do it. I love this series, so I'm willing to forgive quite a bit.

I can't complain about the ending without giving it away,but I will say that wrapping up the story felt like a race to the finish.

My other complaint is that Virgin River, a rural community dependent on deep relationships between neighbors, has generated far too many over-achieving professional women in recent volumes. How many attorneys. savvy businesswomen, doctors, etc. do we need in this tiny town?

The really good characters inevitably move away to find success elsewhere or become names on a list who appear at the bar for a potluck.

My fondest wish is for Mel to roll that Humvee down a ravine so Jack can find himself a new wife I can stand.

Virgin River - Book 20 The Sheridan + Riordan

Would you listen to My Kind of Christmas again? Why?

This complete series gets a five star rating from me.I will listen and/or read (novella's are not available on Audible yet) this series again and again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Sheridan and the Riordan Families come together in this issue, which makes this one the very best. All of the Characters have their ups and downs, which makes me love and sometimes dislike them, which in turn keeps me turning the pages so to speak.

What about Therese Plummer’s performance did you like?

All the characters feel like real people to me. Ms. Plummer is one of the very best narrators. She brings the characters to life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My aaah, moment was at the end, when all the Riordans join the Sheridan family for a meal and the true coming together of Patrick and Angie.

PATTY AND ANGELA!! LOVED IT!!!

I have loved this series from start to finish...and this last tale was no exception...Robyn Carr was introduced to me by a good friend for bookclub and I am so happy to have discovered her...this series had brought me many hours of entertainment and I am moving on to Thunder point!!! Therese and Robyn are a great team and I just cant get enough!!

TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!! YOU WILL BE HOOKED AT BOOK 1!!!!!

Fantastic ending to the series

Loved seeing so many of my favorite characters from the series in this one. Great ending.

Great end to a long great series!

This was a sweet resolution for a young couple with a little baggage. It is nice to revisit so many of the other couples and see some great progression in the story that is Virgin River. What a great town and great couples. This book was not a deep story with lots of drama and tragedy but good. This was a great series, though long I enjoyed it, there were highs and lows, good times and bad lots of twists and turns but good all in all.

Such an awesome book

I’m so sad that I’ve finished the Virgin River series. They are all such great stories and I enjoyed getting lost in each one!

Plummer is the Virgin River series. Great match.

Robyn Carr has a formula in these books. One big, strong, handsome man is lonely but may not realize it, and ready for love but certainly doesn't know it. One sweet, good-hearted, petite and beautiful woman who wants a man that is ready for real commitment. They both find themselves in Virgin River - often with friends in common The rest is history. They fall in love, and start planning their future children. The books are sweet, cozy, warm. Nothing here will surprise you, but they will entertain you. You get what you are hoping for here. Good people who fall in love.

My biggest complaint about this series is that because each volume involves a new romance, the characters I really care about are virtually nonexistent in the future volumes. I would love if there was more follow up on the characters who are already in Virgin River.

Saying goodbye to old friends

I've enjoy all the Virgin River stories, however this one being the last in the series was rather bitter sweet, knowing this was a final good bye to old friends. Appropriately we finally have a joining of the Sheridan and Rhiordan families as Jack's young niece meets the youngest Rhiordan brother Patrick. Angie and Patrick's story was very sweet and we get to say our goodbyes to all the Rhiordans and Sheridans as they get-together in Virgin River for Christmas. A lovely end to a lovely series.
