false <![CDATA[Temptation Ridge (Virgin River, #6)]]> 4783632 5 <b>Shelby MacIntyre has big plans — plans that include finding Mr. Right. Her dream man will have a clean-shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully an advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan.</b> At twenty-five, after five years as her mother's caregiver, it's time for Shelby to experience freedom and adventure. Time for travel, college and romance. But when she visits Virgin River, she runs into Luke Riordan, decidedly not whom she has in mind. A handsome Blackhawk pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty-eight he's tough and jaded. His major was in one-night stands, with a minor in commitment avoidance. Technically, these two are all wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things...two very good things. 4848498 book 1 3 2009 Temptation Ridge (Virgin River, #6) total:185|5:82|4:66|3:29|2:7|1:1| 185 776 300 32 5 13 false false Thu Feb 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Sep 24 19:49:08 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 20 07:27:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 8 false false Thu Feb 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 30 10:15:27 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 20 14:02:56 -0800 2009 Second Chance Pass just a smidge more...so I'd probably rate this one 4.75 stars. But it was still a great book to read. I had a few minor quibbles, but overall, I enjoyed it a lot.
