Shelby McIntyre has big plans–plans that include finding Mr. Right. Her dream man will have a clean–shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully an advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan. At twenty–five, after five years as her mother's caregiver, it's time for Shelby to experience freedom and adventure. Time for travel, college, and romance. But when she visits Virgin River, she runs into Luke Riordan, decidedly not whom she has in mind. A handsome Blackhawk pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty–eight he's tough and jaded. His major was in one–night stands, with a minor in commitment avoidance. Technically, these two are all wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things…two very good things. **
From Booklist
When Shelby moves to Virgin River after devoting the past several years to her dying mother, she definitely doesn’t expect to meet the perfect man. And Luke Riordan, a cocky retired Blackhawk pilot, certainly has no intention of filling that role for the sheltered young woman who catches his eye on his first day in the area. But life continually surprises the town’s residents, and readers will enjoy renewing their acquaintance with several familiar characters, as well as meeting a few new ones who form the bedrock of this community-minded small mountain town in northern California, the setting for Carr’s fast-moving, emotional, and tender ongoing contemporary romance series. --Lynne Welch
