Forbidden Falls (Virgin River, #8)

by Robyn Carr

Virgin River- now a Netflix Original series

When you aren't looking for love, love may just find you...

When a Noah Kincaid buys Virgin River's abandoned church on ebay, he arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and revitalise his new purchase, but he's going to need some help. But an ad in the local paper brings an improbable candidate his way. 'Pastor's assistant' is definitely not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets bold yet beautiful Alicia Baldwin. With her colourful clothes and even more colourful past, Alicia needs a respectable job and Noah can't help but admire her determination to succeed.

This unlikely duo come from two different worlds, but they have more in common than anyone would have expected, least of all themselves. And sometimes when you are not looking for love, it may just find you...

I had a hard time connecting with parts of this one. I loved Noah and man that guy knew how to talk to a woman....
Ellie was fine and I enjoyed her role in Paul/Vanni's struggle. I'm hoping for more from the next books.

This is only the second Virgin River book I’ve read, but it’s really not necessary to read these in order. Each book deals with a different couple, though you do get to visit with past characters and see where life has taken them. Overall, this was a sweet romance with a recurring theme of children and what parents will do for them. Not only is Ellie fighting for her kids, but another couple in town struggles with a decision about a child they’ve unexpectedly "inherited". My one complaint is that the first chapter is quite awkward; it’s all just narration of how Noah comes to purchase Virgin River’s church. I think that background could have been fit in more smoothly. Also, I have no idea why this book is named Forbidden Falls. There is no mention of falls or Forbidden Falls or anything like that in the entire book. I suppose that some might think that Noah’s relationship with Ellie is "forbidden", but I think that’s a stretch. Regardless, I thought it was a nice story and I definitely plan to read more in this series.
