Janeiowa | 5009 comments I’m re-reading Virgin River and can now picture the characters from Netflix. Charmaine is the one who doesn’t really fit for me, and Preacher is now a lot thinner than I first pictured him in my mind.

But, OH...Martin Henderson is swoon worthy for me. Ahhh...🥰

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments I'm slowly working my way though the Virgin River Series for the first time. The Charmaine character in Netflix was a total departure from the Series and I, for one, an very angry about that,

Eve (everf) | 815 comments Just finished The Life Intended by Kristin Harmel. Enjoyable story about widow who finds way to move forward from her loss. Now listening at scribd to After Sundown by Linda Howard. Scary read in the middle of pandemic!!!

Janeiowa | 5009 comments I’ve been re-reading Carr’s Virgin River series. I was offered Sundown, but passed on it for now. The reviews I’ve seen lead me to believe it’s not something I will enjoy, so I’ll let others on the wait list enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this one too. I do miss the style of the older Linda Howard books, like McKenzie's Mountain and Mr. Perfect.


message 2624: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments McKenzie's Mountain and Mr. Perfect - two of my favorites by Linda Howard. I also wish she would find her way back to what made these books so good.

message 2628: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (gr-nancy-a) | 799 comments Frasier Island by Susan Page Davis c2007.
Setting: a small, barren island isolated in Pacific Ocean that is a US naval outpost.
Ensign Rachel Whitney (top of her class) chooses this assignment. She is the first woman to be part of the three person team operating there. It is a full year posting.
Wow! 4 star for sure. Very unusual romance .. but that takes a backseat to the mystery and suspense.

If its anything like Dream a Little Dream or Heroes Are My Weakness, then I'm all in.
If its something like Hot Shot, Glitter Baby or What I Did for Love, then probably it will be a dissapointment for me.
Thanks for the warning, Anita. I try to go in with an open mind ;) Liked your review, BTW.

I had it on a digital borrow, but disappointed with it so much it became a dnf. I was in need of a light and happy, and as you said, this is not.


message 2636: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments Dance Away with Me is definitely in the "Hot Shot", "Glitter Baby" and "What I Did for Love" vein of her writing. It may be a challenge for you. I was glad to be forewarned about it and I was able to set aside my personal expectations. It is really a Women's Fiction type of book.

Glad you finally read Cry No More, Nancy :) The ending of CNM made me kinda mad that LH finished at that point...at the same time it was bittersweet and reader could imagine how the scene played on from there. One of my fav books by LH for sure.
