“Second Chance Pass” has Paul Haggerty reeling from the fact he has fallen for his best friend’s now widow, Vanessa Rutledge. We do have something happen, but it’s like a blip and forgotten. Carr ticked me off again when she has Mel pro home birth and doesn’t talk about the dangers at having home births. Sure, these men are out there trying to keep your home from burning, but don’t deserve free food. And I have to say that some of the asides in this book about how Jack doesn’t feed firefighters who are the “felon” squads ticked me off. I have no idea why Carr didn’t focus on the main couple. We have appearances by Mike, Preacher, and Paige. The main couple (Vanni and Paul sucked) but Carr decides to force in romances for a friend of Paul and Vanni’s and then we have too focus on Jack and Mel, and then we have Walter and a retired Hollywood actress, and I know I am blanking on someone else. Carr doesn’t write steamy love scenes (in my opinion) but it was great to read how Marcie and Ian finally get together. I just had a great time watching Marcie and Ian bounce off of each other before they finally let go and just got together. He is angry and no longer in the Marines. Ian’s life since being injured hasn’t been great. When she gets to the wilds of Virgin River and realizes it won’t be smooth going, she refuses to go home, she vows to stay and make sure that Ian comes back to the land of the living. “A Virgin River Christmas” has widow Marcie Sullivan tracking down Ian Buchanan. We have appearances by my nemesis Jack and his wife Mel, and of course Paige and Preacher and others. Seeing how the small town comes together to celebrate Christmas together was really good too. I honestly loved the character of Marcie and I enjoyed how she and Ian get together. This book follows Marcie Sullivan as she tries to find the man (Ian Buchanan) who saved her now dead husband who is holed up in Virgin River. A great installment in the series before it started going a bit downhill for me.
