Virgin River is a good read. Mel leaves L.A. to get away from the violence of the big city and moves to Virgin River thinking she'll be able to slow down and life will move at a slower pace. She also wants to do her midwifery in a small town where women aren't prisoners brought in with handcuffs.

Boy was she wrong. All sorts of things happen in Virgin River and she almost doesn't stay her first night. But an abandoned baby on the doctor's office the next morning changes her mind and things she extends her stay several times by a few more weeks. Mel finds purpose and that she is needed, which is exactly what she needs to help her recover from her past.

Jack had come to Virgin River to escape his past life of a Marine, a decorated Marine. He, too, longed for a slower pace and less violence. He's helped the town by renovating the cabin he bought into a grill and bar. Mel brings something out in him that no other woman has before. Can he convince her to stay?

Overall, this was a good read and left me interested enough to continue the series.
