I’m not sure how to explain it since I didn’t feel that way while reading the book, just after I finished.

Saying that, I think she might have been a little chipper for my tastes. I appreciated that she didn’t let life get her down and crawl into a hole, as she so easily could have. Noah was definitely not disappointed in Ellie’s work as she was just a whirlwind.For Ellie’s part in the book I thought that she’d seen some tough breaks in her life but had also made some really crappy decisions. I thoroughly believe in giving people a chance – even though they might not look the part. This endeared me to Noah as probably nothing else could. He didn’t have any thought of hiring Ellie to be his pastor’s assistant after she left the interview but after talking to her and seeing why she needed the job so badly he decided to give her a chance. He’s down to earth, loyal, caring and just all together a really nice person. lol I’m so happy that it all worked out.Noah Kincaid is the type of man that I’d love to have a best friend.

It also has a Presbyterian minister in it and since my mom is a Presbyterian minister I thought it might have been a little close to home. Unfortunately it put me on some pins and needles even thinking about reading Forbidden Falls. The couple has so many differences, but in Virgin River anything is possible, and happiness is never out of the question.I certainly didn’t love the last book in this series, Paradise Valley, all that much but as I said then, I like Carr’s writing so it got a fair grade. And in Virgin River lasting happiness is never out of the question. The unlikely duo may come from two different worlds, but they have more in common than anyone would have expected. Noah can't help but admire her spunk and determination, and she may just be the breath of fresh air he needs.

With her colorful clothes and even more colorful past, Ellie needs a respectable job so she can regain custody of her children. "Pastor's assistant" is not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets brassy, beautiful Ellie Baldwin. An ad in the local paper brings and improbably candidate his way. Noah Kincaid arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and revitalize his new purchase, but he's going to need some help. THE BUYER, A YOUNG WIDOWED REVEREND, IS A LITTLE LIKE THE BUILDING ITSELF: IN NEED OF SOME TENDER LOVING CARE. VIRGIN RIVER IS ABUZZ WITH THE NEWS THAT A STRANGER BOUGHT THE TOWN'S ABANDONED CHURCH ON EBAY.
