Another compelling reason to return to Virgin River and
Robyn Carr. Once again Carr delves into the lives of
endearing characters and makes you wish their stories were
never ending -- like leaving behind really good friends.
This book truly stands on its own merits but if you missed
HIDDEN SUMMIT be sure to put it also on your must read list.
The relationship between siblings Conner and Katie is
heartwarming and their story is riveting. And in REDWOOD
BEND we get to follow Katie's search for a solid future for
herself and her boys. In true Carr fashion the inhabitants
of Virgin River jump off the page and will remain with you. Katie Malone worked to rebuild her life with her twin five
year old boys, the last few years had truly been a test of
her resiliency and she needed to reconnect with her brother
Conner in Virgin River. Both their lives had been radically
changed when he was a key witness to a murder and for her
protection they remained apart. Once that case was resolved
Connor put down roots. It was only natural Katie follow suit
once it appeared Vermont didn't hold the key to her future
but this was to be a short visit. Katie was no shrinking
violet. She learned to be self sufficient early on and her
experience in their family hardware business meant she
hadn't met a tool she couldn't handle. But as fate would
have it dealing with a stubborn lug nut, who would show up
to lend a hand but a motorcycle gang. Not your average gang
but a group of friends, big somewhat scary looking guys, who
didn't hesitate to step in. That's when she came face to
face with amazingly built and gorgeous hunk Dylan -- even
with her guy radar set to off he registered high. Of course
Katie was fairly certain it was a onetime encounter but with
Virgin River a rather small town... Dylan was on a mission to spend time with friends and scout
out possibilities for his charter airline currently in the
throes of economic slowdown. Childress Aviation was his baby
and he needed to drum up business or an infusion of cash to
keep it afloat. Dylan had grown up in the public eye with a
family of performers and had a successful run as a child
star. Rather than follow the route of disillusioned actors
Dylan's grandmother took control and gave his life substance
through hard work. And that's the Dylan that was immediately
attracted to this petite woman with moxie. Attraction was one thing -- but commitment was another --
one Dylan felt incapable of. When Katie and Dylan could no
longer ignore their desire they did the grown up thing -- a
fling with no expectations. Katie felt confident her most
valuable assets, sons and heart, were protected but somehow
this wonderful guy became rather important to them all. When
he left Katie was left with still another broken heart. But
was that truly the end of their love story? Well we hope
not. REDWOOD BEND is another great read in the Virgin River
world, one you won't want to miss.
SUMMARY
CAN CHANGING A TIRE CHANGE YOUR LIFE? Katie Malone and her twin boys’ trip along the beautiful
mountain roads to Virgin River is stopped short by a tire as
flat as her failed romance. To make matters worse, the rain
has set in, the boys are hungry and Katie is having trouble
putting on a spare. As she stands at the side of the road
pondering her next move, she hears a distinct rumble. The
sight of the sexy, leather-clad bikers who pull up beside
her puts her imagination into overdrive. Dylan Childress and his buddies are on the motorcycle trip
of a lifetime. But the sight of a woman in distress
stops them in their tracks. And while the guys are checking
out her car, she and Dylan are checking out
one another. In one brief moment, the world tilts on its axis and any
previous plans Katie and Dylan might have had for their
futures are left at the side of the road.
