I love Robyn Carr's Virgin River Series. This new one? I'm still unsure. I liked the characters in The Wanderer, and the sense of community. It's got the typical good deputy, the town diner, even the stereotypical "slutty" realtor. I really liked Cooper, but didn't feel like we got to know Sara as well. Loved the other story lines, romantic and not, in the story. I felt that while the story progressed, and there were a few interesting story lines, everything was surface level. I liked Coop as a person, but didn't really "feel" like I knew what made him tick. Sara was nice, but backgrounds on both of them were shallow. They were both carrying a lot of weight from the past too, which was a little confusing since it wasn't clear. What did Coop do for a living? How could he pay for the renovations? I didn't really get a sense of his background, but liked who he is now.
It was a good first in a series book, and was obviously written as part of a series. Does that make sense? There's not a lot of completion. The ending was cute. I like how we meet the people and really follow Coop through his journey before the romance starts. I'll definitely be picking up the others in this series.
