Temptation Ridge by Robyn Carr

Temptation Ridge (Virgin River, #6)

by Robyn Carr

Shelby McIntyre has big plans--plans that include finding Mr. Right. Her dream man will have a clean-shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully and advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan.

At twenty-five, after five years as her mother's caregiver, it's time for Shelby to experience freedom and adventure. Time for travel, college and romance. But when she visits Virgin River, she runs into Luke Riordan, decidedly not whom she has in mind.

A handsome Blackhawk pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty-eight he's tough and jaded. His major was in one-night stands, with a minor in commitment avoidance.

Technically, these two are all wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things...two very good things.

I could have loved this one. But there was too much interference with the main couple. Shelby was fantastic. I loved her and Luke and they totally deserved more attention. Before I read it I read some reviews and I agree- the ending was way too abrupt. I get why Luke was the way he was but we could've learned more about his issues way before 98% into the book. Lots of superfluous info in this one... I wanted more about Abby and Cameron, too. I do hope that we get more about Abby/Cam and Shleby/Luke on down the line.
Very frustrating.
