Mel Monroe has been through the mill as a nurse practitioner in a busy Los Angles hospital, happily married to Mark, an emergency medicine doctor, who dies in tragic circumstances. Making the decision to move on, she goes to Virgin River, a rural small town and almost immediately regrets it.
However, when a new born baby is left on the door step of the clinic and home of grumpy Doc Mullins, she finds a reason to stay, if only for a few days, whilst she cares for them. And having local barman and former marine Jack Sheridan just over the road with a listening ear and broad shoulders to cry on, as well as making her rent-free cabin shipshape to live in, she might just need to reconsider her decision...
I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton library and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt A is for Alpha for the 52 Book Club mini challenge May 2024.

Lots of casual misogyny, heavily defined gender roles, copaganda, poor treatment of houseless folks, overblown reactions to weed, and an underage sex scene between a 14&16yo that was was VERY descriptive and felt gross (I fast forwarded through it, what I did hear made me feel incredibly icky).

It was right on par with the show. I liked it but I didn't love it.
It had great characters and so much happening. I guess I'm just not much of a romance reader. When I do read romance I like spicy and smutty and the spicy scenes in here were very poorly written with words like "fanny".
I definitely want to continue the series just to find out how certain things play out but I'll take a break before the next one.
