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.
