review 1: (Sep) I can't remember the last time I wrote a glowing review of a VR book. They're fine, but to me they read like pale imitations of what they were at the beginning. Here we had two brand new characters (who knew the area around VR had so many Native Americans living near by - we've never seen any before)who I was in no way vested in like most of the other "stars" of the VR books. Lily was kind of annoying - she did a very dumb thing at 13 - and now, 15 years later, she still lets this slip (sleeping w/a boy, thinking it was TRULUV, getting dumped)rul her life. I've never quite understood that rationale - "gee, when I was a kid I had a bad experience w/a Navajo guy, so now I will avoid all Navajo guys since they are all always X, Y, and Z." Being that stereotypical a... morend judgmental is a hair away from being a complete bigot (replace Navajo w/Jewish or Black and see how that sentiment sounds). Clay was a nice guy - and that is all I can say about him. There was really no conflict to speak of other than Lily's self imposed doubts and Clay's ex wife (and if you couldn't see what was coming - her showing up and the BS that happened afterwards, you've not read romance before). The two other side stories did not really fit in to the book at all; they came across as filler IMO. Hope dying - bummer, but the whole "what shall we do w/the money" and everyone turning against Jack...yawn. The injured Riordan brother - again, did not fit in, nor did the vacationing women who dined w/Preacher (some of the most blatent sequel bate I've seen in a long time - next book must star Injured Riordan Brother and One Of the Vacationing Sisters). I continue to read these because they are easy, and because I keep hoping one will stand out among the more boring offerings the last few have been.
review 2: Clay Tahoma is a native American from the Navajo Nation and is moving to Virgin River is L.A. to become an assistant to an old friend, veterinary Nathaniel Jensen. After a short marriage to a very rich and beautiful horsewoman Isabel and with much resistance from her family, it finally ended. Clay was welcomed by everyone in Virgin River and found him to be a competent farrier as well as he had a unique gift with horses. Lilly Yazhi is a tiny by beautiful blue eyed woman who never knew her father but her mother was a native which made her half Hopi. When her mother left her when she was an infant, her grandparents raised her. When she was very young she fell for an older Navajo man and found herself pregnant at 13 years old but the young man left her in the lurch. From that day forward she vowed she would protect herself from any man, especially the Navajo's. But when Lilly came to deliver the feed to the Jensen Vet Clinic and she set eyes of Clay, she couldn't deny the strong attraction she felt toward him. When Clay finally wore her down with countless advances to date her, she fell crazy in love and the feelings were reciprocated twofold. With things going so extremely well between Clay and Lilly there seemed that nothing in the world could ever pull them apart. Until, one day out of the blue, a stranger drove onto Jensen's property and all hell broke loose.A wonderful story of hope, faith, commitment and love. A true love story that will pull at your heart strings. Not just humans, but horses as well! less

I really enjoyed the horse stuff in this book. As well as the Native American culture.
