In the space of a few months Vanessa buried her husband, Matt, and gave birth to their son--breaking her heart while filling it with a whole new kind of love. But the one man she longs to share this love with now acts as if she doesn't exist.

Paul Haggerty lives by the marine motto: Semper Fi. Ever faithful to his best friend, he's done right by Matt's widow as best he can...considering he's been secretly in love with her for years. Now, just as he's about to make his move, another woman has staked her claim on him--a claim that will be tough to escape.

With courage, humility and not a little meddling from the good folks of Virgin River, Vanni and Paul might just get a second chance to have the love they both desire and deserve.

This was my favorite of the series so far. SOO MUCH GOING ON in this installment! I kept rating the previous books a 4 or 4.5 stars and here we are at book 5, and I have come to the realization that ... im hooked.


So its time to start rating these little addictions 5 stars. I may never read this series again but its just something I am really enjoying right now!

So about the book... it was amazing with twists and turns throughout. I loved the main characters of this book and had no idea how Paul was going to get himself out of the mess that he made. I love that all the other characters from each book join the new books and are still living their best life and get to see whats going on in their world, while learning about the new people. Looking forward to book 6 !!
