Summary
Summary
Return to Virgin River for the holidays in this uplifting tale from the beloved series by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr. Now a Netflix series!
Last Christmas Marcie Sullivan said a final goodbye to her husband, Bobby. This Christmas she's come to Virgin River to find the man who saved his life and gave her three more years to love him.
Fellow marine Ian Buchanan dragged Bobby's shattered body onto a medical transport in Fallujah four years ago, then disappeared as soon as their unit arrived stateside. Since then, Marcie's letters to Ian have gone unanswered.
Marcie tracks Ian to the tiny mountain town of Virgin River and finds a man as wounded emotionally as Bobby was physically. But she is not easily scared off. As Marcie pushes her way into his rugged and reclusive life, she discovers a sweet but damaged soul beneath a rough exterior.
Ian doesn't know what to make of the determined young widow who forces him to look into the painful past and, what's worse, the uncertain future. But it is, after all, a season of miracles and maybe, just maybe, it's time to banish the ghosts and open his heart.

Booklist Review
Marcie Sullivan buried her Iraq War-veteran husband a year ago after watching him suffer from battle injuries for three years, and she just can't seem to move on with her life. Deciding to find his missing best friend, she travels the back roads of Humboldt County, California, looking for the hero who has become a hermit. After visiting Virgin River, she finds Ian Buchanan living in a primitive cabin with no amenities. Ian growls at her, but she refuses to leave, almost dying of hypothermia until he rescues her, then nurses her back to health. With the specter of Bobby between them, they finally forge a friendship but feel much more than that. All Carr's Virgin River regulars are here, turning this sometimes tearful tale into a warm, fuzzy read. Strong women, honorable ex-marines, and rural dangers, the hallmarks of this life-affirming, feel-good series, are all here.--Tixier Herald, Diana Copyright 2008 Booklist
Library Journal Review
On a mission to find the elusive marine who saved her gravely wounded husband in Iraq, Marcie Sullivan, now widowed, finally locates Ian Buchanan in an isolated cabin near Virgin River in the Northern California mountains. Guilt-ridden and emotionally scarred, Ian doesn't need a reminder that he rescued his best friend only to see him waste away in a coma. But Marcie needs closure as much as Ian needs healing. When a bout of the flu keeps Marcie at the rustic cabin longer than she intended, the barriers begin to fall, bringing new hope--and unexpected love. A cameo to Carr's "Virgin River" series (set just before Christmas in the third book, Whispering Rock), this touching holiday tale is laced with laughter and tears and delivered with an emotional intensity that will charm both new readers and series fans. Carr lives in Las Vegas, NV. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
