The first and perhaps best book in this series, 'Virgin River' introduces the reader to an entire town instead of simply to a hero and heroine destined to fall in love. There are so many wonderful and lovable characters in these books it's no wonder people have fallen so much in love with the place that they want to find it on the map and move there. Jack is practically perfect: a mainstay of the town, a wonderfully masculine man who doesn't feel the need for macho posturing, a terrific son, brother, friend and mentor, a sexy and patient lover and most of all a great example of consideration and responsibility. Mel puts up a great fight but in the end she can't resist either Jack or the town. What woman could blame her. It's a romance so the ending is a foregone conclusion but Robyn Carr does a bang-up job of character building, plotting and keeping the action rolling. All in all I love this book and have no plans to repost it. It's a keeper.
