Like Catching Up With Old Friends!

Robyn Carr does another excellent job with this next installment on a great series. I like the fact that these stories are about more than just romance. She gives real insight into these characters, most of whom are flawed in one way or another, so it's like relating to actual people rather than fantasy heroes. As always, I encourage you to start with the beginning book of the series, Virgin River, if you haven't already done so. If you are already a fan of the series, this book is like catching up with old friends.

AWESOME!!

Robyn Carr is a delight. This book was fantastic. It kept me listening till the early hours of the morning. I wanted Analise to get hers so badly. It was great catching up with some of the familiar residents of Virgin River and to know they were having real life issues like everyone else. I think that is what gives these books such likability, to revisit old friends and to know they haven't had a fairytale ending, but are still being challenged by every day life happenings. Erin was an awesome heroine, when it came down to clutch time, she proved she hadn't lost her take charge attitude, like a mama lioness, she was cornered and came out fighting. Bravo!! Great Listen!!

Every book in this series is equally amazing...

Erin (Marcy's sister from book 4) goes to Virgin River for vacation. She meets Aidan Riordan and some very interesting things happen (crazy ex wife, surprise birth). Every Virgin River story has amazing romance, hot sex and a truly interesting story. This story is just another Robyn Carr hit perfectly narrated by the best narrator ever: Therese Plummer. If you like romance book then you need to read all this series in order. You will enjoy every second.

Thank God Robyn Carr never runs out of characters

I like all of the books I have bought by this author. This is one of the better ones. I will listen to this story more than once. It is genuinely funny. I appreciate this authors ability to unfold the story at just the right pace. This is a great addition to my Audible Library. Thank you.

Don't read out of order

If you could sum up Moonlight Road in three words, what would they be?

After reading the first 4 books, I accidently read this one next - oops. Each book will stand alone, but there is a flow in the series and you can learn about actions from prior stories not yet read.

Like catching up with old friends

This installment in the Virgin River series is like meeting with old friends! Luke Riordan is the focus of this book, brother to Luke and Sean (from previous books). Luke falls in love with Erin (super-responsible type A personality taking a vacation for the first time in 10 years ) in a typical RC manner; fast, furious and passionate but not without humor and great dialogue. The women are strong and independent characters. Well except for the sociopathic x-wife holding the gun!!!! RC always wraps the stories in some type of adversity with quite believable circumstances and with a pregnancy story woven around it all. Mel and Jack are the side story in this book and it is great to hear how they are coping with all their life changes. I recommend reading the books in order just to appreciate the characters but they could stand alone too. Its entertainment, and its NICE!!! Excellent narration.

Wonderful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great character and plot development with just the right balance of adventure and romance, and reference to characters developed in previous books to build substance, context and plot development without compromising the integrity of this storyline. Once you have read one book in this series you will be anxious for the next. It doesn't really matter which order you read or listen to them in - each book stands alone.

Too much crazy-sauce

Aiden and Erin's story was actually okay. The character development for both of them was good. But the psychopath ex was over the top and crossed into the absurd. Also quite insulting to Eastern Europeans.

This suffers from packing too much. Too many subplots, characters. and POVs. We got an update on Jack and Mel but their subplot was yikes.

I only have a few more books to complete the series. I’ll finish it but I'm looking forward to relocating away from Virgin River soon.

Not my favorite, but still good

Audiobook: Narrator - Therese Plummer

I’ve written it at least 10 times now. This narrator does an amazing job of bringing every single one of these characters to life. I absolutely love listening to her and I think she may have pulled some voodoo on me because I swear I hear her voice even when I quietly reading.


While I loved watching Aiden fall in love, I wasn’t a huge fan of Erin. She was just too harsh, judgey and high and mighty. At least that was my initial judgement of her from meeting her in A Virgin River Christmas, Ian and Marcie’s story. But as I listened, I learned and soon I was empathizing with her and the life she led. I wanted her to find her happy ever after with Aiden.

As most of these books, this also covers some of the characters from town. Sometimes this annoys me when we get pulled away from the “main couple” but it usually doesn’t last long. We got a good look at Art and his love interest and how all of that is being dealt with. When this narrator performs Art, I’m brought to my knees.

Great addition to the series. Maybe not my favorite, but still very entertaining.
