review 1: Let me just start by saying I do love Robyn Carr and the Virgin River series and this book is well written. I read it because it was part of the series. I went in not liking the blurb but I was absolutely taken aback by the fact that everyone sided with Francie in her decision to withhold the fact that Sean had a daughter. He stumbles on her accidentally and having realized he made a mistake years before he wants her back. This forces her to tell him they have a child. At first he is angry and then blames himself. The only person who thought she was wrong was Francie's mother but she still stood by her decision. I am sorry but no matter how big a jerk he was and the fact that he stated he didn't want a family in no way gives her an excuse to hide a child from him. His fami... morely didn't even support him. As far as everyone was concerned he was to blame. The only thing he did wrong was be honest from the get go that he didn't want marriage or family. He did want a serious relationship though. Francie never gave him the opportunity to change his mind or make his own decision. She therefore denied he and their daughter very important bonding. If she didn't want to marry him because of the baby she could have just said no or not until I am sure you want me and not just a marriage because of the baby. So many avenues and the author made her out to be the victim when it was Sean who was the victim. Absolutely disliked this book of the series. I am writing this days after having finished it and it still angers me. A woman never has the right to deny telling the father he has a child. She made a choice and has to accept consequences even if they aren't what she wants. Only giving it two stars and that is because I do like the series and the author.
review 2: This is one of my favorite of the Virgin River series. I actually read this book twice, a few years apart, first out of order and then after reading through the first part of the series in order. The Virgin River series is stated able to be read out of order, and Robyn Carr does an admirable job of filling in back details in each book, but really it is better to be read in order, much more interesting and rewarding to hear about the other couples. This one is about Sean Riordan and Franci. They meet again after 4 years apart, and Sean is surprised to find he has a 3-1/2-year-old daughter. They struggle through some problems, rehashing past problems, and come to a resolution. This book shows clearly how much Sean grew and changed in the prior 4 years, as well as just throughout the course of time in the book, going from a guy who has no intention of having a wife and family to a devoted husband and father. It was sweet to see that transition.Some of the Virgin River series I liked more than others. A few I found so crammed with couples that I was stumped to pick a "central" couple of focus to the book. That is not true with this one, and probably why I liked it so much. There are the usual continuing side stories of various couples, as well as a new romance brewing, but Sean and Franci are solidly the focus of this book, which is rewarding to read. We get to learn about them and their lives in great depth. Plus, as the series continues on, I know we will hear more about them here and there, so that is wonderful. This was a 5-star read for me. less
