Bring Me Home For Christmas - Robyn Carr

From Barnes and Noble:

"This year, Becca Timm knows the number one item on her Christmas wish list—getting over Denny Cutler. Three years ago, Denny broke her heart before heading off to war. It's time she got over her silly college relationship and moved on.

So she takes matters into her own hands and heads up to Virgin River, the rugged little mountain town that Denny calls home, as an uninvited guest on her brother's men-only hunting weekend. But when an accident turns her impromptu visit into an extended stay, Becca finds herself stranded in Virgin River. With Denny. In very close quarters.

As the power of Christmas envelops the little town, Becca discovers that the boy she once loved has become a strong and confident man. And the most delicious Christmas present she can imagine."

I love Robyn Carr. I forgot just how much until I read this book. This is part of her Virgin River series and I was so glad to get to read a bit about all the folks in town that I've grown to love in the last 13 books.
One of the reasons that I love her so much is because she gives her characters real problems that real people have in the real world. There are no beautiful super models and jamming rock stars that just can't make their relationship work. Alot of her characters are somehow connected to the military and I love that too.
This book we meet Denny again. He did two tours with the Marine's. He lost buddies and his mom along the way. He was dealing with alot of issues and along the way that contributed to his and Becca's relationship.
We see them both grow up as a result. I love the long lost love stories and this one didn't disappoint. I love that she doesn't feel the need to use bad language and doesn't get too tacky with the love scenes. She makes sure to put most of her emphasis and words to the story line instead of to things that don't add much to it. I like her alot and after this one I will continue to.
