Welcome back to Virgin River with the books that started it all…
Shelby McIntyre has big plans—plans that include finding Mr. Right. Her dream man will have a clean-shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully an advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan.
At twenty-five, after five years as her mother's caregiver, it's time for Shelby to experience freedom and adventure. Time for travel, college and romance. But when she visits Virgin River, she runs into Luke Riordan, decidedly not whom she has in mind.
A handsome Blackhawk pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty-eight he's tough and jaded. His major was in one-night stands, with a minor in commitment avoidance.
Technically, these two are all wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things…two very good things.
Look for What We Find by Robyn Carr, a powerful story of healing, new beginnings and one woman's journey to finding the happiness she's long been missing. Order your copy today!

From Booklist
When Shelby moves to Virgin River after devoting the past several years to her dying mother, she definitely doesn’t expect to meet the perfect man. And Luke Riordan, a cocky retired Blackhawk pilot, certainly has no intention of filling that role for the sheltered young woman who catches his eye on his first day in the area. But life continually surprises the town’s residents, and readers will enjoy renewing their acquaintance with several familiar characters, as well as meeting a few new ones who form the bedrock of this community-minded small mountain town in northern California, the setting for Carr’s fast-moving, emotional, and tender ongoing contemporary romance series. --Lynne Welch

Don't Miss This Romantic Gem...
By auntee
Wow! Another winner by the talented Robyn Carr--this may be my favorite of the series since book #1, "Virgin River". There was just something about these characters that grabbed me emotionally. I loved the strength and courage of the heroine, Shelby McIntyre, who was determined to live her life to the fullest after spending years as her dying mother's devoted caregiver. And I loved the hero, former Army Blackhawk pilot Luke Riordan, who may not have been what Shelby thought she was looking for, but boy was he ever perfect for her. Be sure to have a big box of Kleenex close by, especially if you're a big marshmallow like me, because you'll need it with this one.
I loved, loved, loved everything about this one, from the main romance between Luke and Shelby, to the other romances between Shelby's Uncle Walt and former movie star Muriel, and Dr. Cameron Michaels surprising romance with one of Vanni's ("Second Chance Pass") girlfriends. I enjoyed catching up with all the town 'doings' in Virgin River. There's a birth, surprising pregnancies, another near town disaster where a lot of residents become heroes, a re-introduction of a character from the first book in the series, and sadly, a death of a beloved character. There's some new characters introduced, including an abused, homeless man with Down's Syndrome who Luke befriends, the introduction of one of Vanni's flight attendant friends, and most importantly, the introduction of Luke's mother and two of Luke's four brothers. (Please Robyn Carr, write a story about at least one of them!)
Once again, the author's descriptive narrative immerses you in the the tiny California town and it's colorful characters, and before long you'll be turning the pages so fast, dying to find out what's going to happen. I could not put this one down--I just fell in love with the hero and heroine--and it just about killed me when it looked like they wouldn't make a go of it. This is definitely one couple I hope to read more about. I'm also interested to see how pediatrician Cameron makes out with his budding romance--he has a lot of hurdles to overcome. And the 'senior' romance between Walt and reluctant movie star Muriel may be coming to a crossroads, and I can't wait to find out what direction it will lead to. These are all the reasons why I am anxiously awaiting the release of the next book in the series, "Paradise Valley".
If you are a fan of contemporary romance, do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in this wonderful series. It's sexy, hot, has colorful characters, interesting happenings, and most importantly, is very romantic. Hopefully there will be many more books to come.

My favorite in the series so far! Wonderful and so satisfying.
By Karlyn
A fantastic addition to the series. I would say this one is easily as good as (if not better than) book 1 Virgin River. I was up all night reading it, couldn't put it down! The main romance of this book is Luke and Shelby, and I just loved them from beginning to end. Unlike some of the other books in this series we see a lot of the main romance couple. And they are amazing together. Shelby is my favorite kind of heroine: smart, funny, level-headed but not over-done. She was so real. And Luke was so perfect for her. It was a wonderful (and at times very steamy!) romance to watch. Made me laugh, swoon, and sigh. They meet and are instantly attracted, but both know that neither are what they want in a relationship. He is 38 with a world of experience, she 25 without much behind her. He is the love'em and leave'em kind of guy, while she needs the romance with love and marriage...etc. However, the way their story unfolded was far from predictable, and very touching.
We get to see more of past characters too as well as updates on new budding romances. Some of the secondary stories include Walt and Muriel's story, which continues in such a sweet way. Another story includes Luke and a mentally challenged homeless person who he helps out, someone I am sure we will see more of in future books. I enjoyed that storyline a lot. We also meet several of Luke's brothers, and they have 'future hero' written all over them! I will not be surprised if one or two of them find their own romances in upcoming books. (I hope so!) And do you remember the town drunk from book 1? Yeah, she's back and connects with Mel in a big way. We also see a bit more of Cam, the Doc from Grants Pass, OR who we met in Second Chance Pass. He has his eye on one of Vanni's friends. It may sound like a lot of characters, but when they come together the story just flowed.
There are a lot of emotions in this book from happy, funny, tearful, steamy, suspensful and more. I can't wait for the next book that comes out next month. I also hope we get a Christmas book again to hold us over until the next series comes out in 2010. I am hooked on this series and will need the fix.
Lastly, I will say that these books are best read in order, but I think a person could read this one as a stand-alone. (Although I wouldn't really recommend it.) Enjoy!

A solid romance but not Carr's best
By VanillaMoon
Temptation Ridge is a far better offering than its predecessor 'Second Chance Pass' but since it's a Robyn Carr novel, it's not without its problems.
The basic romance between Shelby and Luke is pretty well done. Both characters are likeable and the internal monologue goes a long way to really drive home the reasons they aren't staying together. I was happy for the HEA at the end (not really spoiling anything, romance novels are required to have a HEA or they aren't considered part of the genre) but I wasn't exactly tearing up a box of tissues when that happened.
Being a Robyn Carr book it was also peppered with subplots about recurring or new characters, which went a lot better this time than it did in the last book. The last book got so bogged down in extraneous plotlines it really needed to be edited or cut into two books, it was that annoying. Temptation Ridge however, does a pretty good job of reigning in this madness.
It also has its own special issues. Like once again we are told that a woman isn't complete without a man. And yes, the book actually does come out and say that. Twice. Some women aren't complete without a man. I recognize this, even if I don't care for the mindset. But since Carr never once shows us a strong women who IS complete without a man, it's pretty obvious she feels this philosophy applies to ALL women.
Also women are once again relegated to the role of breeders or breeder enablers. Women in these novels serve no other function than bearing children. As many children as possible. At one point a character is left alone to 'contemplate her uterus.' Direct quote. There are so many babies in this town that I won't be too awfully surprised when Aiden, Luke's younger brother, moves to Virgin River eventually to be an Ob-Gyn. You know it's going to happen. Why fight it?
Nursing, thankfully, is mentioned only sparingly in this book. In a Robyn Carr book you're lucky if you can sneak out a chapter without hearing about it or having it actually described to you. It's noticeably, and blissfully, absent in 'Ridge' probably because Mel doesn't appear all that often. Thank God!
I'm so ready for this character to be killed off. She's not even a person anymore. Mel's just a preachy messenger sent to tell women that you're a freak if you're a virgin at 25, you're a horrible person if you wouldn't breast feed another woman's child even though you don't have permission, and if you don't get a pelvic exam once a year (Carr describes at least one in detail in every single book) you're going to hell.
There is a bit of a funny Mel moment where she verbally smacks down Preacher for cooking fatty foods and basically squawks at him like a deranged shrew because she's gained 20 pounds since moving to Virgin River. Preacher has one of the best lines in the book where he says he's not the one shoving the pies down her neck. It's just unfortunate that he doesn't say it to her face, only to Jack. Really, though, her unwillingness to take any responsibility for her eating habits and lack of exercise is grating. Try being responsible, Mel! Oops, my bad, I forgot you're the one who accidentally got pregnant TWICE then blamed your husband and threatened (albeit jokingly) to kill him, which Jack was kind of bothered by. Guess responsibility isn't really one of Mel's endearing qualities.
Somewhere along the way we lose a beloved character and that was really hard. It was nice to see the effect it had on the townspeople. I won't say more than that except that character will be sorely missed.
In one of the subplots, Carr took one of the only truly decent characters in the series and turned him into a smarmy, manipulative, emotional blackmailer of vulnerable women. I'm so irritated about that. I felt so sorry for Cameron after he was treated so terribly by Paul and Vanni in 'Second Chance Pass'. To have him come back and weasel his way into bed with a crying woman who kept saying no, then trying to track her down after she cut him off because his ego can't take being rejected REALLY had me grinding my teeth.
I'm a few chapters into the next book, 'Paradise Valley', and their saga doesn't get any better so far. Really those first few chapters belong in 'Temptation Ridge' not in a new book that's supposedly about another couple. Especially since I'm up to page 60 of 'Paradise Valley' and Rick and Liz haven't made an appearance yet even though it's supposedly their book. If Cameron and his distraught ex-lover are so damn important, why don't they have their own book?
Overall, 'Temptation Ridge' was a solid offering. The love story between Luke and Shelby being its only real saving grace. The series hit a high note for me with 'A Virgin River Christmas' and has been steadily going downhill from there. I want to get to 'Angel's Peak' because that story appears interesting from the blurb. I hope Carr doesn't manage to put me off so horrendously before I can get to that one.
I'm glad I read it, but I'm also doubly glad that I got it from the library instead of spending money on it. In fact, I'm really glad I've gotten all the books from the library instead of investing in the series because after book 4 it's really taken a nosedive. I'm invested timewise, though, so I'll probably finish off the series. Unless Mel becomes an alien pod person and secretly turns the Virgin River women into an assembly line of lactating spawn-shooters. Then I'm out.
