Shelter Mountain Virgin River Book 2 Robyn Carr 9780778324294 Books

I love the entire Virgin River series! This is the second one and I love it. I've read it before, but I'm going back over them. I love all the characters and how they feel as if you could meet them tomorrow. As if they're going to walk into your life. Robyn Carr is a fabulous author, she makes you feel like your in their world, not reading a novel about the characters. Try the series, believe me, you won't be disappointed. I thought it was going to be all romance, the series. It is on one level, but there's so much more. I love certain characters more, they make me laugh. Not just chuckle, but belly aching laugh. I know you will too.

Shelter Mountain Virgin River Book 2 Robyn Carr 9780778324294 Books Reviews

"This was a woman in trouble."

THE STORY Paige Lassiter has come to Virgin River via a wrong turn. She is desperate and running with her three year old son from her abusive husband. When she comes into the bar, she runs into John "Preacher" Middleton. Preacher knows that the sweet woman with bruises on her face needs some protection. He offers Paige sanctuary and the big, shy man soon wants to do everything he can to take care of the sweet woman and her child when the abusive husband comes calling.

OPINION I love the community nature of the Virgin River books. This book is the first book where there are multiple storylines going on at the same time and I really liked how characters continue to evolve (Jack and Mel) and how some stories are slow in developing. As for the story of Preacher and Paige, Preacher is such an adorable man. Shy and loving and stable, he is perfect for Paige who has been seriously hurt by her relationship with her abusive husband. I like that the romance takes place over months and allows the characters to get to know and trust one another.

Carr has such a light, sweet way of writing. Although the stories have difficult moments, there is something always bright and sweet in the stories that acts as a counterbalance to the serious dark nature of the stories.

WORTH MENTIONING Along with the main story about Preacher and Paige, this book also deals with the continuing romances of Jack and Mel, the teenage relationship of Rick and Liz and the blossoming romance between Mike and Brie.

FINAL DECISION I loved the sweet romance between Preacher and Paige. I am also falling in love with the town and its people.

CONNECTED BOOKS SHELTER MOUNTAIN is the second book in the Virgin River series. It can be read as a standalone although these books are ensemble books will multiple storylines that cross books and therefore readers will be better served by reading the books in order.

STAR RATING I give this book 4.25 stars.
Shelter Mountain is the second book in the Virgin River series about a small town with an even smaller population. Ex-marine John “Preacher” Middleton, provides shelter in more ways than one for an abused wife and her three-year-old son on the run from an abusive ex.

Paige finds refuge from a storm in Virgin River’s local tavern, where Preacher immediately recognizes that she’s a troubled woman in need. Preacher is a man who's lived a solitary life, resigned to the fact that he would never find a woman to share his life with. But Paige stirs up protective instincts that he’s never felt before. I love the way Preacher is described as looking like a rough bouncer and a bit like Mr. Clean, but has such a gentle soul.

Convinced that women and children only see him as a tough, scary-looking guy, Preacher keeps to himself, not showing how tenderhearted, shy, and gentle he is. Robyn paints him with a quiet strength, gentleness, inner peace and calm, that made me want to find Virgin River and get myself a Preacher! His loyalty, love, and fierce protectiveness turn out to be exactly what Paige and her son need. Although he might be a man of few words, his actions speak for his heart what his words cannot, and he guards and loves Paige and Christopher like only he could.

Preacher and the town of Virgin River become a safe haven for Paige where she is able to heal and find her confidence again. This book provided so much depth, with laugh-out-loud moments, some tears, and the sweetest of romances.

I think I liked this book even better than the first one. I could not put it down - stayed up all night to finish it, and wished for more when it was done.

Definitely all thumbs up from me!
This is the second book in Shelter Mountain and while it could possibly be read as a stand alone I don't recommend it. A lot of the characters especially Jack and Mel are a big part of this book and the investment just wouldn't be there without reading book one.

This book centers around Preacher and Paige (well mostly). There is a lot of Jack and Mel as well as Rick & Liz from the first book. There is also the introduction to Bree & Mike as a couple in this book. I liked that we got to see more Jack and Mel and I really like Mike and Bree but then we also had the consequences of Rick & Liz from the first book and it was just too much for one story and I think Preacher and Paige got a little short changed. Although Preacher and Paige are both very sweet characters and well kind of boring so I'm also glad that the other couples were in this book.

The Preacher and Paige story was a very slow, sweet romance. In fact for me personally a little too sweet and slow. Preacher was a really nice guy but just didn't do much for me. Paige was also very sweet and grew to be a stronger woman through the book. I will admit though I thought that her not having much of a reaction to loosing her baby was weird. It just didn't fit with her character. She had a miscarriage and just moved on. I also just didn't connect with the Rick and Liz storyline. Having a 15 year old girl pregnant is just ICK to me no matter how you write it. It isn't sweet or tender.

This book had a lot of emotional subjects in it physical abuse, miscarriage, divorce, cheating, death but somehow I just wasn't that emotionally connected. It should have been a tear jerker but it just wasn't for me. Still I'll try book 3 before I decide about continuing this series or not. I thought the first book was better and hope the 3rd goes back to more of that.
