Part of what I love about reading is the ability for a book to pull you in and transport you to a different world. The Virgin River series does a good job of doing this even though they are generally plot driven stories. Why I mention this in this review is that it is dream worthy to imagine having a big newly built ranch by the river like Walt Booth made in this great little town with a growing group of all these cool people. I like the transformation of the relationship between Vani and Paul, I like the growing relationship between Walt and Muriel and the continuing story lines with all the ever-growing crew. These books are hardly perfect but the series is so comfortable and enjoyable to read. 4*
