Rising sous-chef Kelly Matlock's sudden collapse at work is a wake-up call. Disillusioned and burned out, she's retreated to her sister Jillian's house in Virgin River to rest and reevaluate. Puttering in Jill's garden and cooking with her heirloom vegetables is wonderful, but Virgin River is a far cry from San Francisco. Kelly's starting to feel a little too unmotivated... until she meets Lief Holbrook. The handsome widower looks more like a lumberjack than a sophisticated screenwriter - a combination Kelly finds irresistible. But less appealing is Lief's rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. She's the reason they moved from L.A., but Courtney's finding plenty of trouble even in Virgin River. Kelly's never fallen for a guy with such serious baggage, but some things are worth fighting for. Besides, a bratty teenager can't be any worse than a histrionic chef... right?

This was the perfect balance of everything Robyn Carr does well, and one of the most emotional instalments in the series.
Though I really loved it, be warned that while it's a fantastic book, it's probably not a five star read as far as the romance is concerned - it's nice but kind of takes a backseat to the family dramas.
You'd probably be better off starting this at least a couple of books earlier, but I don't see any problem with picking the series up here. It's a little snapshot of life in small Californian mountain town Virgin River, with a wonderful and believable relationship at the centre.
Carr is a FANTASTIC writer who has great skill with dialogue and an excellent sense of humour. She can write small, everyday things and make them interesting, and this was by far the most all-around engaging book for me in the entire series.
Kelly was an up and coming star chef in San Francisco. Then one day the wife of the man she idolises pretty publicly (and falsely) accuses her of having an affair with him, and Kelly collapses in the middle of the kitchen. The paramedic is horrified that people are stepping over her instead of trying to help her - unfortunately things like that really do happen! She gets a huge wake-up call when the extent of her health problems is revealed and not a single person is concerned about what happened to her. The man she considered a very close friend completely cuts contact.
She takes off to Virgin River, where her sister has made a good life for herself. There she meets scriptwriter Lief, who has rescued his stepdaughter (his wife is dead) from her uncaring family, and taken her out of Los Angeles in an attempt to heal them both.
This was my first Robyn Carr novel, but it certainly won't be my last. I loved Harvest Moon! Great writing, wonderful characters and a meaty story to sink your teeth into, so to speak.
This newest Virgin River story features Kelly Matlock, sous chef at a post San Francisco restaurant, who receives some distressing news, awakens in the hospital and is told she must simplify her life. She retreats to her sister's old Victorian home in Virgin River. Along the way, she stops at the local bar and meets handsome Lief Holbrook, a new Virgin River resident. Two martinis mixed with her prescription drugs knock her for a loop and Lief offers to drive her to her sister's.
Jillian has converted her property to an organic garden. The house she shares with Colin. Both are happy to have Kelly there and anxious to help in any way they can. Widower, Lief is fascinated by Kelly, but he's having his own difficulties parenting stepdaughter Courtney, now in her Goth mode. Still he stops by to see how she's doing.
Once at Jillian's Kelly takes over her sister's kitchen and soon a mouthwatering array of soups, sauces, preserves and more pour out of the kitchen. Kelly at first feels she needs to find a job, but soon she discovers the joy in cooking in her sister's kitchen and offering her food items to the locals. Jillian encourages her and plans for a joint venture between the two.
Meanwhile, Lief becomes more and more interested in Kelly. The feeling is mutual, however, Courtney's problems threaten to keep them apart. Lief and Courtney visit a counselor, Lief introduces his daughter to horseback riding with Lilly, a wise Native American. Gradually, Courtney begins to change, but she remains unfriendly to Kelly. How they work it out is part of the beauty of this story.
