all the books in order otherwise youll be bored,
There are so many characters in this one, youll get dizzy, and they all have their own chapters and point of view.
The writing is bland but I guess it can also be called realistic, . the story wasnt bad, just not interesting enough and as I said it had too many storylines for too many people.
The best thing was the little girl Rose, so so cute! This one had a great premise but it was WAY to TAME, not enough conflict.
This one has a lot of promise, but really fizzled out and read like a lifetime movie without the tears.
Disappointed when I compare it to a number of VR books, Even the sidebar romances were just as tame, Would have been a better Christmas novella,
Rating.
Not my favorite of the series but still a fabulous read! Robyn Carrs Virgin River series is like coming home from the city to the peaceful atmosphere of simple living, good friends and beautiful landscapes.

Angels Peak es el noveno libro de la saga Virgin River de Robyn Carr y tiene como protagonistas a Sean y Franci.
Despues de que el libro anterior me decepcionara tanto no lo pude terminar de leer fue muy agradable encontrarme con esta novela, que no solo vuelve a tener esa magia de los primeros libros sino que tambien resulto ser una de las historias mas ligeras y agiles de leer de todas las que llevo por el momento, ademas no hay tantas tramas secundarias, por lo que la relacion de Franci y Sean tiene un muy buen desarrollo y aunque sigue siendo una relacion un poco mas precipitada de lo que me suele gusta, fue una de las mas calmadas de Virgin River.
Este junto con Temptation Ridge son mis dos libros favoritos por el momento,
.Estrellas! Enjoyed Sean amp Franci's story! And it's always good to catch up with all the other couples in Virgin River! Angel's Peak
Robyn Carr
ANGEL'S PEAK is bookin the Virgin River series.
Franci Duncan has just arrived in Virgin River after she left a few years ago, She left after a falling out with her boyfriend Sean Riordan, She wanted a family and to be married and Sean didn't, Of course, one of the first people she runs into is Sean, Now Franci finds herself trying to figure out how to tell Sean about the secret she has been keeping from him! Hang on people, it gets crazy!
ANGEL'S PEAK had me up late reading, worried about what was going to happen to all of these wonderful people.
I did not want to put this beautiful and fun story down, I also got to meet a few more new residents from Virgin River as we do with each and every book.
I also love how you get to check in with the other couples from the previous books, It was also awesome to watch Sean grow up and take responsibility for his actions even though Franci didn't want anything from him.
I loved how Franci and Sean finally started being honest with each other and figured everything out,
Every time I read a story from the Virgin River series I want to kick myself for not reading it sooner.
ANGEL'S PEAK is exactly why I love Robyn Carr, It's no secret that she has been a favorite author of mine for many years, This story is filled with twists and turns that kept me flipping the pages like a crazy woman, The characters are not perfect, always flawed and you wont be able to help yourself from falling in love with them all.
If Virgin River were a real town, I would have packed my bags years ago and moved there, All of its residents feel like old friends to me and it's always great to catch up with them with each book in the series.
The only thing I can't understand is why it took so long to make these wonderful stories into a television series.
It's going to be perfect, I'm so excited to continue reading The Virgin River series, Stars
These books are the perfect "getting into the holiday spirit" type of read, They have a quaint, almost Hallmarkmovie type feel to them that leaves me feeling uplifted, That said, I don't think I'd have the patience to read them, as they're not as couple centered as I prefer in my romances.
However, I've loved listening to them as I go about my day, Fabulous book that rang my bells and whistles, Angel's Peak is set primarily in Eureka, California, but there are short events in Virgin River throughout the story.
Previous characters have quick mentionshere and therebut most have no dialogue, Jack, Preacher, the General, Muriel, Dan Brady and a few others have short dialogues while Noah and Ellie earlier book finalize "things," a new relationship develops between two consenting seniors, two new characters and their interracial romance is introduced seniors, and the events are set for the next book in this series.
: Primarily, this addition to the Virgin River series is focused on the Riordan familybrothers and one widowed mom Maureen.
Enjoyed reading about Maureen and her relationship with hersons, Her character comes to life and how she handles her "concerned" sons had me laughing, Enjoyed reading how the "family" tried so hard not to be a burden to their extended families, i, e. , inlaw drama, house guests, etc,
There were only a few trips to Jack's Bar, several trips to Noah's new church, time at the Riordan cabins.
What I enjoyed most was the main focus of the story: Sean, Francine and little/year old Rosie.
Four years ago, Sean and Franci practically lived together for two years, Their relationship was good, but onesided Sean and when the military told Sean he was going somewhere else, he felt Franci could come with him, but made plans without her and assumed she'd follow.
Franci, who was a nurse in the Air Force, was leaving the military to pursue other interests, Early on in their relationship, she made it clear to Sean that she wanted longterm, commitment and marriageeventuallyand when two years hit it was time to firm things up or move on.
Things happened, bitter words were exchanged and the couple lost track of each other,
Fastforwardyears and Sean is on leave/vacation in Virgin River staying with Luke and Shelby newlyweds.
In fact, this book takes place a few weeks AFTER their wedding earlier book, Sean has not been able to find anyone he was as compatible with as Franci, He frequently thought he had seen her, but always turned out not to be her, Until he does run into her, but she makes it clear she's not interested in reringing that bell, Her heart was broken and she had gotten on with her life, But, Sean becomes obsessed. He tracks her down, follows her, parks outside her home, spends time in her neighborhood in hopes of running into her at groceries, bookstores, malls, etc.
How he worked his way back into Franci's life was inspiring and impressive, The surprise Franci had for him added to the character development that bloomed with every page, Loved how obstacles were tackled, and an outspoken/year old "princess" wrapped a former nokids/nomarriage, flight jock, around her little finger.
It was so good! Robyn Carr is the engine that just keeps these stories alive, Another favorite for This Reader, Audiobook: Narrator Therese Plummer
Im always blown away by this narrators performance of this series, but listening to this one when one of the characters, Art, was in distress, I was almost in tears by the sheer force of life and believability she put into his character.
Bravo Ms. Plummer. Bravo!
I really didnt like this hero much at all in the beginning and I was worried the author wasnt going to be able to redeem him in my eyes.
He didnt cheat, but he was such a jerk and some of the things he said to the heroine and the way he said them had me pretty much hating him from the beginning.
Add in his own thoughts and actions in the early pages and I almost DNFd this one, But I decided to trust the series which has been pretty straight forward so far, and Im glad I did.
While I never fell in love with this hero, he did make some serious changes in not only actions, but attitude and there was no doubt that he ended up being a better man in the end.

I would give itif I could! The best one yet in the "Virgin River" series.
That little "Wide Iwish Rose" stole my heart! Just when I think the characters and stories can't get any better, another comes along and replaces the last favorite.
Enchanting, amazing, humbling, loving, caring, etc, etc. Lessons can be learned in each read, Is it March yet I'll be rereading "Angel's Peak" again soon very soon, If you are looking for a book to uplift your spirits, run fast and get yourself a copy and treat yourself to an afternoon in Virgin River! It just doesn't get any better.
Congratulations to Robyn Carr for keeping the momentum going stronger than ever! Enjoyed this sweet story of past lovers reuniting with a few exceptions.
There is a secret child, and others finding long earned happiness, The couple was separated for four years,
But, be aware that this hero, at least to me, appears very immature for his age and thought everything was someone else's fault, especially the exlove of his life.
It took a very good while before he owned up to the responsibility of what he pushed away and his wrong doings.
He regretted it for years but only tried to call her twice, . . I think that says it all!
Safety:
They split after two years together because she wanted some type of commitment from him she was pregnant and he made it plain he never wanted marriage or a child.
. . so she walked. During the two years they were both faithful,
There is a majormanwhore alert for this hero, We don't have to witness him sexing other women but believe me, he did and it mattered not who it was.
He was a horndog of the worst sort,
After these two run into each other again they were not with anyone else, ed for sitelinkTHC s
A large part of the plot of Angel's Peak centers around the secret baby theme, which is not a favorite of mine.
I have a hard time accepting the idea of a woman running away to have a baby and never telling the father, because it seems so unfair to the guy.
Unless the man is a tyrant or otherwise a danger to the woman and her child, I usually don't feel like she has a good reason to do this, so this is a romance theme I typically avoid.
However, with this being a Virgin River book and me being a huge fan of the series, I couldn't very well pass this one up.
I figured if anyone could pull it off and make me like this type of story it would be Robyn Carr, and she definitely didn't disappoint.
It was apparent that during the earlier incarnation of their relationship, both Franci and Sean were rather stubborn and immature.
Franci tried repeatedly during their relationship to get Sean to commit to her, but he made it abundantly clear that he didn't want marriage or children.
When Franci found herself pregnant, she knew Sean would probably step up to the plate and marry her out of a sense of obligation if nothing else, but she didn't want a marriage based on duty alone.
She wanted to know that he would love her and the baby with his whole heart, She made one lastditch effort to get him to commit without tipping her hand, Many angry words were said on both sides, and Franci finally split, She intended to tell Sean she was pregnant eventually, but one thing after another kept happening to turn her off to that idea, and the more time that passed, the harder it was for her to fess up, knowing that he would be angry with her for not telling him in the first place.
I did agree with her mom that she should have told Sean long ago, but I felt like the author explained Franci's reasoning well enough for me to be OK with it.
Not to mention, she and Sean grew and matured a lot during the course of the story, so in some ways the separation only made their reunion sweeter.
Franci and Sean were two wonderful people who made a lovely couple, They met in the Air Force where Sean was flying planes and Franci was a flight nurse, They connected on a very deep level and had amazing chemistry, but butted heads constantly about the marriage issue.
When they broke up, Franci got out of the Air Force and went to live with her mom, She built a good life for herself and little Rose with her mom as her support system, When Franci left, Sean felt bad about how things had ended between them, He tried a few times to reach her, only to find out that she'd moved and no one seemed to know where she'd gone.
Finally, he gave up and went on with his life, returning to his old playboy persona, but no woman since has made him feel like Franci did.
When he chances to spot her in a bar with friends, he's instantly smitten again and refuses to let her get away a second time.
However, she isn't so thrilled to see him after all this time and gives him the cold shoulder, Being a typical clueless man, he has no idea how to go about getting her back the right way, but I have to give him props for his persistence.
At least he had the decency to admit that he had no idea what he was doing and that he was wrong to not commit to her.
Although he was upset with her at first for not informing him that he was a father, he warmed up to little Rose and her mom pretty quickly, and grew into the kind of man Franci desperately
wanted four years earlier.
Eventually, they can't deny that the old spark is still there, and Sean begins to wonder why he ever fought it so hard.
I have to give Robyn Carr kudos for not skimping on showing Sean and Franci's chemistry in their first love scene.
Despite only being moderately descriptive, it was positively explosive and explained a lot about why neither had experienced anything else like it since breaking up.
As with all the Virgin River books, there are side plots aplenty, Most of the past heroes and heroines returned in some capacity, even if only as background characters, Some new characters were introduced as well and new relationships were formed, Robyn Carr continues her tradition of romance for the young at heart with Franci's mom, Vivian, and her boyfriend, Carl, who are looking forward to being able to spend more time together if Franci and Sean reunite.
Sean's mom, Maureen is thrilled that one of her sons has finally given her a grandchild even if she is rather prudish about the way it occurred.
She revels in her new role as grandma to Rose and gets acquainted with Noah's old friend, George, We learn that Dan and Cheryl are progressing in their relationship, but still taking things slow, one day at a time.
Cheryl finally puts her old house filled with bad memories on the market, while Dan is building a new home that will be all theirs for making new memories.
Noah is still a great friend, counselor and minister to the community, He and Ellie get engaged, plan and execute a wedding, and buy a “new” old house, I love how the whole town came together to help them fix it up enough to live in just in time for the holidays.
Luke and Shelby play hosts to their family and have a big announcement to make, We also learn that Paul is busy doing a major rebuild/remodel on Ian Buchanan's old cabin A Virgin River Christmas in preparation for Marcie's sister, Erin, coming to visit as the heroine of the next book in the series, Moonlight Road.
I remember Erin being rather fussy and snobbish as well as pretty bossy toward Marcie, I don't recall liking her very well, but if anyone can make me warm up to her, Robyn Carr would be the one to do it.
Her hero will be Sean and Luke's brother, Aiden, I've always loved Aiden, because out of all those handsome Riordan boys, he is the one who longs for a wife and family but has had horrible luck with women.
It's cute how excited he is about meeting his niece, and he's the only one of the boys who can keep their mom, Maureen, in line.
He's definitely the peace keeper of the family and an allaround great guy who I look forward to seeing as a main hero.
Angel's Peak was another heartwarming read in the Virgin River series, This book was a little more lighthearted than some of the others in the series, It contained two of the funniest scenes that I believe Robyn Carr has ever written, The grocery store fight was absolutely hilarious, and Sean's first attempt at playing father to Rosie was truly endearing while also being LOL funny.
As always, I loved the smalltown atmosphere and all the people who populate the town, Their Thanksgiving gathering and how they all rallied around each other and helped those in need gave me lots of warm fuzzies.
Angel's Peak was yet another winner from this talented author, and I can't wait to pick up the next book soon.
