Promise Canyon A Virgin River Novel Robyn Carr 9780778329213 Books

Recently divorced and needing some space from his past life, Clay Tahoma is excited about working as a farrier and vet technician in northern California. He'll be working with a respected vet and near his sister, Ursula, who lives in a nearby town and always has a warm welcome and dinner place for Clay. Proud of his Navajo roots and traditions, Clay is about to be surprised by a challenging and unusually talented woman.

Lilly Yazhi's got a way with horses, even more so than Clay, whom rumor has it is a bit of a "horse whisperer." Lilly and Clay meet very soon after his arrival in Virgin River, and the sparks are flying but not necessarily favorably. Is it her Hopi background the problem with their lack of connection? She has to admit Clay is "drop-dead gorgeous," but her experience of Native American men projects the opinion that good looks mean heartbreak.

Two unique horses draw Clay and Lilly together, one severely sick and one dysfunctional from some mysterious and traumatic past event. Blue and Streak have characteristics that parallel the attitudes and behavior of their caretakers. Are all broken beyond hope or is there some link that just might erode those blocks in all?

Promise Canyon has some just as interesting sub-plots involving a deceased woman's legacy to the town, a woman's desperate attempt to reclaim Clay, and a family deeply affected by a severe accident that keep the action and conflicts flowing in a tense yet manageable way.

Robyn Carr is a uniquely talented romance writer. She manages to write about Native American issues with a realistic yet gentle way that implies her obviously respect for their traditions and values. Likewise, her characters are sexy, passionate, and sensitive in an admirable way that magnifies our appreciation of these very wonderful Virgin River people.

Promise Canyon, the eleventh Virgin River novel, is a must read which this reviewer thoroughly enjoyed and highly, highly recommends!

Promise Canyon A Virgin River Novel Robyn Carr 9780778329213 Books Reviews

Normally Robyn Carr's redeemign characteristic is her ability to build a strong story around 2 characters, characters so interesting you can overlook her ability to destroy mood with the least sensual sex scenes in existence. This time, it appears she did not build a stong enough plot line to sustain a full lenght novel. In order to extend the book, she added totally unrelated subplots that while interesting distracted from the main story line. The result was a bit chaotic.

As a result, I cant recommend this book as a standalone book. If youa re following the Virgin River series, you will need to read it in order to keep up with other key members of the cast.
Promise Canyon by Robyn Carr is the story of vet tech Clay Tahoma, originally from Flagstaff and the Navaho Nation and Lilly Yazhi, a Hopi who is trying to forget her traditional native background. She works for her grandfather ("Yaz") keeping books at his feed store and delivering feed to nearby ranchers and Nate, the local vet where Clay has come to work. Both have baggage. Divorced, Clay has left the Los Angeles area and his beautiful, wealthy ex-wife and the stable where he worked to put distance between himself and her, also to have a suitable place in which to raise his seventeen-year-old son, Gabe, who still lives with Clay's grandparents on the Navaho Nation. Lilly hasn't recovered from a romantic disaster where she was betrayed and abandoned at a much-too-early age. She's spent the intervening years getting an education and putting her heritage behind her, and she's not about to become involved with a drop-dead sexy Navaho. Fate has other plans, however, and both Clay and Lilly feel a huge attraction toward each other. Finding an injured and abandoned horse provides Lilly with a turning point, and she begins to enjoy working with the horses at Nate's, and to realize how much she belongs with them.

Meanwhile, in Virgin River, Jack, the owner of the town's only bar and eatery, has been given the task of administrating Hope McCrea's trust, which the recently deceased widow left to the community. As people come out of the woodwork with suggestions on how the funds should be used, Jack finds himself becoming increasingly unpopular as he tries to do what is best for the community as a whole. And Colin, Luke and Aiden Riordan's brother, finds himself in a helicopter accident with dire consequences.

Three stories mesh together and bring old and new faces to Virgin River. I love the way Ms. Carr is able to weave the plots together. This is a wonderful book with different storylines, each of them tied to Virgin River and her great cast of characters.
I LOVE Robyn Carr's work, especially the Virgin River series.

And it really IS a series. In most romance lines labeled as such, each book is really a stand alone that just happens to have a common theme maybe a town or business, or the characters are all friends or family, etc. But in Carr's VR stories, there will be one primary romance, yes; but there will also be other plotlines that can play out over several books.

That said, although this book is #11 in the series, it is a good place to start if you've never read her before. There are fewer secondary stories introduced than usual, and the continuation on previous back stories is minimal.

Anyway, I enjoyed this book tremendously. There was the usual lovely and loving characterizations, realistic dialogue and general warmth and humor. There was also some new elements, with the Native American and horse whisperer touches. And the lead couple have an interesting chemistry the hero is starting over, and the heroine really never started at all. Although she appears mature and largely content, she is basically frozen. She made certain life decisions after a traumatic event when she was 13 and never allowed any subsequent changes that would normally evolve from growth and experience. This isn't a secret to those closest to her both her grandfather and best friend comment on it several times. In the end, she has to choose to grow, to risk security for happiness.

Highly recommended.
