Writer Kaylee Sloan has a case of writer's block. She hasn't been able to write a word since the death of her mother six months ago. With a deadline looming, Kaylee decides to rent a cabin in Virgin River from family friends. She is hoping that getting away from her home and the things that remind her of her mother will help cure her writer's block.

Things are not as she expected when she arrives in Virgin River. The cabin she rented has just burn to the ground, so she heads to Jack's bar to see if he knows of any rentals. Kaylee soon finds herself renting a house from local artist Landry Moore. She also adopts a stray kitten, and rescues a mother dog with four puppies that were abandoned in the woods. As the holidays draw closer, Kaylee's world changes as she falls in love with her landlord.

Like everyone else, I was excited to hear there was a new book to the Virgin River series. I know I'm in the minority, but I have to say I was bored with this one. For more than half of the book, Kaylee dwelled on her mother's death. I'm sure losing someone close to you is very hard to get over, but I wasn't interested in reading about it. I liked both Landry and Kaylee, but thought this book needed more plot to keep me interested. My rating: 3 Stars.
