From Barnes and Noble:
Rising sous-chef Kelly Matlock's sudden collapse at work is a wake-up call. Disillusioned and burned out, she's retreated to her sister Jillian's house in Virgin River to rest and reevaluate.
Puttering in Jill's garden and cooking with her heirloom vegetables is wonderful, but Virgin River is a far cry from San Francisco. Kelly's starting to feel a little too unmotivated…until she meets Lief Holbrook. The handsome widower looks more like a lumberjack than a sophisticated screenwriter—a combination Kelly finds irresistible. But less appealing is Lief's rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. She's the reason they moved from L.A., but Courtney's finding plenty of trouble even in Virgin River.
Kelly's never fallen for a guy with such serious baggage, but some things are worth fighting for. Besides, a bratty teenager can't be any worse than a histrionic chef…right?
As you know, I do like the Virgin River Series by Robyn Carr. This book I was glad to see most of the character's we already know plus some new ones. This book she went with a more serious slant. She did a fantastic job of tackling Kelly's stress, Courtney's abuse and issues that she's facing with losing her mother plus regular ol' teenage angst. She tackled Lief's ex wife and step mother issues. Right now I am trying to stick with easy peasy happy go lucky stuff and this was a little deeper than what I've been looking for, but it was good none the less. I like the way the story weaves and comes back around. It is a nice addition to Virgin River!
