While in the throes of sickness this week, I got to read a few more books by Robyn Carr an author I found last fall. I found the first three books of her Virgin River series ar Sam's Club and bought all three at once. By the time I was halfway through the first book, I was hooked on the author and her delightful characters. This week I have read book 4 of the VR series (A Virgin River Christmas) and two of her stand alone novels Blue Skies and Never Too Late.

I like Robyn's books because they primarily revolve around strong women characters. Most have undergone (or will under go) some life changing experience and are pulling themselves up by the bootstraps so to speak.

“I was always meant to write about women,” Robyn says, “women who were tougher than the women of their time, smarter and more courageous … characters who would never trade places with anyone.”

They have been a good "pick-me-up" for the icky blues and a nice break from the more serious aspects of things I have been reading. If you click the title of the post it will take you to Royn's website. I am looking forward to many more books from her...I just wish she could write as quickly as I can read! :-)

If you check Amazon, her average book rating is 4 1/2 stars out of 5!
