Reader Review: I had serious issues with the first two books in this series, and I certainly enjoyed this third book more. What I loved very much was the main couple. Robyn Carrâs books always start off strong, but she has a tendency to get bogged down in erroneous storylines by about halfway through. The lead couple may disappear for chapters at a time while she covers the stories of every other resident of the town. While I have enormous admiration for a writer who can manage to keep so much âstoryâ making sense, keeping timeframes accurate, running one characterâs life story into everyone elseâs, it can make for a frustrating read. Iâve griped about this in my reviews â please God, someone stop that woman from writing about womenâs health every few minutes!! Melinda, heroine of book one, is again popping up left right and centre, delivering babies, performing at least half a dozen pelvic exams, preaching to everyone about everything from safe sex to breast checks. Mike and Brie are a wonderful couple, and the development of their relationship was very realistic. I loved that they both found a purpose in Virgin River, and that they helped each other to overcome their horrible pasts. Itâs unrealistic and annoying how the army friends meet up for drinks and spend the whole time making cutesy remarks about pregnancy and lots and lots of babies. As the final book of a trilogy, a lot of things were wrapped up nicely here. But then along came a whole lot more books in this series, and there sure are plenty of characters to focus on now.
A decorated U.S. Marine reservist, LAPD officer Mike Valenzuela was wounded in the line of duty, but has found hope and healing in Virgin River. When he agrees to become the town's first cop, he does so knowing it's time he settled down. Twice divorced and the lover of too many women, he secretly longs for the kind of commitment and happiness his marine buddies have found--a woman who can tie up his heart forever. He finds that woman in Brie Sheridan, a Sacramento prosecutor who understands his drive to protect and serve. Virgin River becomes a safe haven for Brie after nearly losing her life at the hands of a crazed criminal. Though tough and courageous, she's got some fears she can't escape--but now she has someone who will show her just what it means to trust again.
Mike will do anything to help Brie free herself from painful memories. Passionate, strong and gentle, he vows to give back to her what she's so selflessly given him--her heart, and with it, a new beginning.

Whispering Rock
Mike Valenzuela was up and had his Jeep SUV packed long before sunrise. He had a long drive to Los Angeles and meant to get an early start. Depending on traffic around the Bay Area, the drive would be eight to ten hours from Virgin River. He locked up his RV, which was his home. It sat on the property at Jack's bar and grill; Jack and Preacher would keep an eye on it for him, not that Mike expected any kind of trouble. That was one of several reasons he'd chosen to live here—it was quiet. Small, peaceful, beautiful and nothing to disturb one's peace of mind. Mike had had enough of that in his former life.
Before coming to Virgin River permanently, Mike had made many trips to this Humboldt County mountain town for hunting and fishing, for gathering with an old Marine squad that was still close. His full–time job had been with LAPD, a sergeant in the gangs division. That had all ended when he was shot on the job—he'd taken three bullets and had a lot of hard work getting his body back. he'd needed Preacher's robust food and Jack's wife Mel's assistance with physical therapy on his shoulder. After six months, Mike was as close to completely recovered as he'd get.
Since moving to Virgin River he'd been home only once to visit his parents, siblings and their families. He planned to take a week—one day driving each way and five days with that crowd of laughing, dancing Mexicans. Knowing the traditions of his family, it would be a nonstop celebration. His mother and sisters would cook from morning to night, his brothers would stock the refrigerator with cerveza, family friends and cop buddies from the department would drop by the house. It would be a good time—a great homecoming af

Reviewer:
I love this series and this book. The story of Brie and Mike really hooked me and was sensitively presented. It is also wonderful that the characters from the previous books are woven into the storyline in meaningful, in depth ways....not as asides. I'm hoping this trend continues. Jack and Mel, Preacher and Paige, Rick and Liz all have stories here, picking up from where their lives left off in Shelter Mountain. The community spirit of Virgin River is alive and thriving in this story.
