(That sounds funny like they're the slutty river books or something)! I read quite a few of the early Virgin River books and like them, but I bought one recently and I ended up putting it down because it was just BAD--I was so surprised, having liked the others. Hope it was just a fluke and not a sign of the series going downhill.Too Fondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849859595618711755noreply@blogger.com
