The wildly adored, at least by me (!), Netflix original series by the same name, Virgin River kicks off Carr’s series that focuses on the life, times, and troubles of midwife and nurse practitioner, Melinda Monroe. Having suffered a terrible loss and looking to escape her pain, she responds to a help wanted ad in the remote mountain town of Virgin River. The recently widowed Melinda thinks a hefty does of small town, secluded charm is just what she needs to find her center again.
However, much to her chagrin, the town is not at all what she hoped for. The cabin she’s given to live in is an absolute dump, the roads are treacherous, and the local doctor she contracted to work for wants nothing to do with her at all. Poor Melinda realizes her mistake almost immediately and begins to plot a way to leave this insane situation. But a tiny abandoned baby on the front porch of her new office makes her rethink her plans. Of course, a few confusing and possibly sizzling encounters with former marine Jack Sheridan throws a bit of cement into her plan to leave as well.
I can not wait for another season of this Netflix series. Until then, I guess I’ll have to do a re-read of the series.
