New beginnings -- that's what both Clay Tahoma and Lilly
Yazhi were looking and hoping for in a little town called
Virgin River. Small towns can be tough to hide in
but Clay realized rather quickly that the people of
Virgin River were like a tribe -- people who could
be counted on in an emergency. Taking the job of veterinary
tech offered by Nate Jensen allowed Clay to leave the
baggage of a divorce back in L.A. and live closer to his
sister. He also looked forward to having his
teenage son Gabe, raised on the Navajo Nation, closer to
him. Clay needed to bridge the gap that had formed between
them over the years.
Meeting Lilly was unexpected, and he was immediately drawn
to her, by not only her tenacity by also an instant
attraction. Their banter about their respective tribes gave
them a instant connect. But sometimes what you see doesn't
begin to scratch the surface of the person. Lilly has her
own baggage and, while on the surface she appears quite
tough and resilient, her past has the power to bring her to
her knees even after all these years. Lilly had been
summarily left behind by all the people she believed loved
her. The only steady force was her grandfather who would
take on the world to protect her. The last thing Lilly was
looking for was someone else who could betray her, so she
was well guarded -- but somehow Clay managed to slip
through. Would he also disappoint Lilly? If he did, how
would she survive another hurt? Wasn't it better to just
enjoy their time together? Problem is, that isn't enough --
Clay wanted more but Lilly was ready to run again -- this
time away from what probably was the love of her life.
Carr's story is about taking chances -- no guts, no glory.
It's also about the inevitability of change for this town
and all its people. Change isn't easy and there are many
roadblocks and detours along the way -- just like in real
life. PROMISE CANYON is a great story with a myriad of
interwoven tales uniting a varied group of characters-- a
little slice of life in a small town.
That's truer of Virgin River than almost anywhere else
on earth.
After years spent on ranches around Los
Angeles, Clay Tahoma is delighted to be Virgin River's new
veterinary assistant. The secluded community's wild beauty
tugs at his Navajo roots, and he's been welcomed with open
arms by everyone in town--everyone except Lilly
Yazhi.
Lilly has encountered her share of strong, silent,
traditional men with her own aboriginal community,
and she's not interested in coming back for more. In her
eyes, Clay's earthy, sexy appeal is just an act used to
charm wealthy women like his ex-wife. She can't deny his
gift for gentling horses, but she's not about to let him
control her. There's just one small problem--she cant
control her attraction to Clay.
But in Virgin River faith
in new beginnings and the power of love has doors opening
everywhere...
After I read Promise Canyon I was asked about the love interest. I couldn't at first remember there being one because I was so involved in the story, and the new people who were coming to town either to vacation or to stay. I had to really think about the romance part...to me that's what makes the entire Virgin River series the ongoing community, and that while everyday there's a new couple falling in love we still get to see the other townspeople and to know how they're dealing with life.
If you've not ever read any of the Virgin River books I suggest you begin at the beginning, and doubt that you'll be disappointed...they just get better and better! (Sandi Shilhanek 2:24pm December 28, 2010)
