A Virgin River Christmas A Novel A Virgin River Novel 4
Return to Virgin River for the holidays in this uplifting tale from the beloved series by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr. Now a Netflix series!
Last Christmas Marcie Sullivan said a final goodbye to her husband, Bobby. This Christmas she's come to Virgin River to find the man who saved his life and gave her three more years to love him.
Fellow marine Ian Buchanan dragged Bobby's shattered body onto a medical transport in Fallujah four years ago, then disappeared as soon as their unit arrived stateside. Since then, Marcie's letters to Ian have gone unanswered.
Marcie tracks Ian to the tiny mountain town of Virgin River and finds a man as wounded emotionally as Bobby was physically. But she is not easily scared off. As Marcie pushes her way into his rugged and reclusive life, she discovers a sweet but damaged soul beneath a rough exterior.
Ian doesn't know what to make of the determined young widow who forces him to look into the painful past and, what's worse, the uncertain future. But it is, after all, a season of miracles and maybe, just maybe, it's time to banish the ghosts and open his heart.

The number of stars reflects my personal level of satisfaction with the book I read. Probably each of us perceives books differently. We have a different level of humour, ethics, and things we like or don't like.

I’m a huge fan of this series so far but not a fan of this book. I had a hard time getting through this one. It rambled on and the past history of the main characters was told so many times to different characters, it was just too much. Quite frankly I was bored out of my mind for most of the book. I’ll keep reading the series but this book is making me take a break from it for a little bit.
