Series Highlight: Virgin River by Robyn Carr

Robyn Carr's Virgin River series takes place in the tiny mythical town of Virgin River, California. It is an excellent romance series featuring continuing, well-drawn characters that you fall in love with.

The first book, Virgin River, introduces the couple who act as the anchoring characters for the whole series: Melinda Monroe and Jack Sheridan.

The Virgin River series is an excellent, light read, perfect to devour over a weekend. The men are all either current or retired military, the women strong with well-drawn characters.

I highly recommend this series, although one caveat - they do need to be read in order.

The Sisterhood by Fern Michaels

Sometimes, justice isn't served by the justice system. You have to take revenge instead.

A group of women, all failed by the justice system, band together to make those who hurt them and their families pay.

There are currently 20 books in the Sisterhood series.

These books, all page turners, group together seven women who seek vigilante justice. As time goes by, the circle for which they seek justice grows. An exceptional series which just keeps getting better, I highly recommend it.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Kensington Publications for the Sisterhood beach bag and cover flats. They make the display look exceptional.
