I gave this book four stars. This series is really very good.

Preacher works as a cook in the bar of Virgin River. When a battered woman, Paige, and her young son Chris wander into the bar one day he is compelled by a need to protect her. He offers her a place to stay. Preacher quickly comes to love both Paige and Chris, and must fight to keep them safe from Paige's abusive ex-husband. In addition to their story, the book adds to Mel and Jack's story from book one, as well as Rick and Liz. The stories are all very touching without being overly sappy.

I love the characters and the town that Carr has managed to create. There's a lot of rich emotion and story here. My complaint for the series is that the author doesn't spend enough time on her main couple. I would really liked to have seen more of Paige's character developement, for example. Other then that, I highly recommend this series to contemporary romance fans.
