Forbidden Falls

Very interesting story line. Keeps you reading till it's done.

Great book! I really love the Virgin River series and Robyn Carr novels. The main characters Noah, a widowed reverend and single mom, Alicia, and their budding friendship and then romance really kept my interest. The scenery is breathtaking, small town hospitality in the wilderness including redwoods, mountains, etc (the food always made me hungry, I wish I could cook like that)! I really recommend this book as it is not too steamy and just darn good reading. I have truly enjoyed all the books in this series.

What fun it was to read Forbidden Falls. Having been the organist for a small town Presbyterian Church for 34 years (now retired), I saw several ministers come and go during those years....some good....some even better...and yes.....one or two not the best. Noah really didn't fit the traditional Presbyterian mold nor did his assistant - Ellie. But....let's face it.....the "mainstream" churches are changing with the times as they must do to keep up with this changing world. The story takes some unexpected twists and turns. It will turn out in some respects as you anticipate it will as you read...but....there are some real surprises too.

And one I thoroughly enjoyed! This book is part of a series, but it stands alone as well. Noah sees a church on Ebay, so he goes and checks it out. It is in very bad shape, but he has his inheritance and figures what better way to spend it than fix up this old church! First he looks for an assistant, and meets his match in Ellie Baldwin. Ellie is a straight forward no nonsense kinda gal, who has had it hard. She has two children, both are with her ex-husband because of a ridiculous court order. Ellie thinks having a respectable job and place will help get her children back. In the middle of all this, they both get more than they bargained for -- Also there are a few other storylines in here, but I won't go into that! This author makes the book a very entertaining read and I can't get my hands on the others soon enough!!

This was the first book I had ever read by Robyn Carr and I instantly fell in love with it. When I realized that this was just one book in a series I went and bought all of the ones preceeding this one so I could read about the characters of Virgin River. What a wonderful series... I'll be reading each book that comes out and I've already purchased the first book in the "Grace Valley Series", can't wait to read it too.
