About book Promise Canyon (2010)

I read a few other books in the Virgin River series and like the characters. A Navajo male (Clay) and a Hopi female (Lily) are romantically attracted in this serial. Horses bring them together initially, but of course there will be complications. Another theme is how to spend the estate of an elderly woman who leaves everything to the town, including a house full of antiques. Other characters include Jack, Mel, Colin, Aiden, Preacher and Jillian from previous books in the series. A light and easy read! I really loved this story. I appreciate Robyn Carr veering off from her usual former military hero trope. Not that I don't love those former military men in her books, I really do. I just enjoyed a different change of pace.One of the things I like about the Virgin River series is that, in most cases, there aren't a lot of silly misunderstandings. If there is one, it's only one per book and it is resolved without everyone losing face. Of course there was a pretty big blowup in this one, but Carr had another character point out how stupid the character was being for acting like a child. I'm so glad because I was about to start disliking the character even though I knew there was a deeper reason for the reaction.This book had a lot of side stories. I know all of the books in the series have side stories, but I somehow felt these were bigger side stories than usual. Not that I'm complaining. Actually, quite the opposite. I am thoroughly intrigued about all of them and can't wait to read more!

3.5 STARS"After years spent on ranches around Los Angeles, Clay Tahoma is delighted to be Virgin River's new veterinary assistant. The secluded community's wild beauty tugs at his Navajo roots, and he's been welcomed with open arms by everyone in town - everyone except Lilly Yazhi.Lilly has encountered her share of strong, silent, traditional men within her own aboriginal community, and she's not interested in coming back for more. In her eyes, Clay's earthy, sexy appeal is just an act used to charm wealthy women like his ex-wife. She can't deny his gift for gentling horses, but she's not about to let him control her. There's just one small problem - she can't control her attraction to Clay.But in Virgin River, faith in new beginnings and the power of love has doors opening everywhere.." (From Amazon)A good book but I was not won over with the romance.

In many ways, this book seemed to be a bit like a filler episode in a long-standing anime miniseries--where some new characters are introduced, old ones revisited, and the stage is set for the next big story--almost a place holder in some ways. Don't get me wrong--I really liked Clay and Lilly, loved meeting the horses, enjoyed getting reacquainted with old friends and generally really liked the story. I sincerely hope to see more of Clay and Lilly and their wonderful families as well as some other old favorites.
