An excellent story about a young widow from the big city making a life for herself as a nurse/midwife in a rugged small town. The characters are wonderful, memorable, and smart. You get introduced to a whole town full of vital interesting people. I did have a little trouble keeping track of each character, but you come to know the main characters easily enough.
The love story is sweet. The hero and heroine come together gradually like people do in real life so their connection is believable. There isn't any Big Misunderstanding. There isn't an excessive amount of sex taking place of emotional intimacy. There are plenty of steamy hot scenes, but they come at appropriate times in the plot and they aren't substitutes for plot development. The hero is strong without being some extremely over the top alpha male. The heroine is very smart and capable. She's not spineless. She's more than capable of taking care of herself. The hero and heroine don't act out of character. Sometimes you read a story, where one or another does something that is totally not in line with their character, but nothing like that happens here. The story seemed believable and it's rare I read a book where the characters and the situations seem real. I would read more from Robin Carr's Virgin River series.
