THE RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS:
MAKING IT UP AS YOU GO ALONG
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?
I think you will love this latest visit to Virgin River. I must say that when I read the synopsis my first thought was "Oh no, not a sullen teen." I was not thrilled with this plot development. Turns out, I thought Courtney's subplot was wonderful. This book is as as much her story as it is about the romance between Kelly and Lief. Don't get me wrong, I liked Kelly and Lief. Their relationship was romantic, sweet, and just a little bit sexy. I was enjoyed catching-up with familiar characters like Jill and Colin. Courtney, though, was the stand-out character. Her story inspired a range of emotions, from tears to frustration to hope. Harvest Moon is definitely a keeper. (Maria Munoz 8:33am February 27, 2011)
Robyn Carr is a famous women's fiction novelist. I have read his books and to tell the truth I love them very much.It is a wonderful review. I really enjoy it. (Alice Simson 3:50am March 2, 2011)
I thought that Harvest Moon was a fitting close to this year's Virgin River Trilogy. With Harvest Moon Ms. Carr has again tugged at my heartstrings, and left me as anxious as ever for a return to Virgin River. (Sandi Shilhanek 7:57am March 11, 2011)
