Book Reviews of Forbidden Falls (Virgin River Novels)
Book Review: A new high in the Virgin River series
Summary: 5 Stars
Many multi-book series lose their tempo for me and I often give up after the first 3 or 4. I found the Bridgerton books started to lose my attention and I never finished the MacKenzie series. Except for Rachel Lee's Conard County books, this is the first series in years that has held my attention and interest. And, IMO, this volume is as good as the first one. That said, it would have helped a reader to be familiar with the earlier books and characters. So, anyone picking this up, knowing it is the 8th in the series should accept and understand that they may find themselves immersed in some episodes that perhaps make little sense.
I loved Noah Kincaid. He epitomises all that is good in modern clergy: he is wise, understanding, capable, sympathetic but also lively, makes mistakes, has doubts and has had life experience in the real, hard world. The reviewer who criticised him for being over-sexed missed the point. This pastor is a man first and foremost, flawed and real, who is a good priest because he is so human. I can see that he would fill his church in due course with folk who want and need a sympathetic and fully fledged human guide on the path to a good and spiritual life.
Ellie Baldwin is one of those women who have been raised right despite overwhelming adversity and who is grounded in the realities of existence in poverty and hardship. Yet, she is a good woman who despite it all manages to keep her head high whilst she moves, literally, heaven and earth to care for her much loved children.
This is a wonderful story of two flawed and very believeable people reaching towards each other despite doubt and fear. They are accepted in Virgin River because it is the sort of tiny village where everyone knows each other and, fortunately, Virgin River is populated by people who give others a chance and reserve judgement.
A delightful read that has reinvigorated the series. I truly enjoyed it and thought the story well plotted and realistic. I do agree that the bad judge might have been over fictionalised but then justice is not always tempered with mercy or even, sadly, righteousness.
I recommend this and look forward to the next two instalments.
Summary of Forbidden Falls (Virgin River Novels)
Virgin River is abuzz with the news that a stranger bought the town's abandoned church on eBay. The buyer, a young widowed reverend, is a little like the building itself: in need of some loving care.Noah Kincaid arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and revitalize his new purchase, but he's going to need some help. An ad in the local paper brings an improbable candidate his way.
"Pastor's assistant" is not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets brassy, beautiful Alicia Baldwin. With her colorful clothes and even more colorful past, Alicia needs a respectable job so she can regain custody of her children. Noah can't help but admire her spunk and determination, and she may just be the breath of fresh air he needs.
This unlikely duo may come from two different worlds, but they have more in common than anyone would have expected. And in Virgin River lasting happiness is never out of the question.
