Leslie Petrusco needs to get away from Grants Pass where she's constantly running into her ex-husband. His cheeriness and delight at his new wife's pregnancy is more than Leslie can take, especially when he didn't want children with her. He's a changed man, apparently, one who wants to stay in touch, however, Leslie's had enough and accepts a transfer to Haggerty Construction's Virgin River branch where she fits in as the ultimate office manager.
Connor Danson (real name Danson Connor) had a bad marriage, but he's got worse problems. After having been the only witness to a murder in Sacramento, and having his hardware business burn to the ground, he's gone into the witness protection program. He arrives in Virgin River and finds a job with Paul Haggerty's crew. He also finds Leslie, and though he's not about to lose his heart a second time, the chemistry between them burns hotter than a forest fire.
Neither Leslie nor Connor wants a relationship, but this one seems to take on a life of its own.
Robyn Carr has hit another home run with Hidden Summit. This reviewer, along with thousands of Virgin River fans, has been anxiously awaiting the latest installment. Hidden Summit surpasses all expectations introducing new characters while reacquainting the reader with old ones. I was glad to see Dan Brady reappear, and it was delightful to have Brie Valenzuela as a secondary character. Now I'm awaiting Redwood Bend. Just can't get enough of Ms. Carr and Virgin River.
Five stars for this one.

The first few pages of Hidden Summit by Robyn Carr were like the first few bites of a Birthday Cake Sundae with Reece's Peanut Butter cups mixed in.....Really Good.....and then halfway to the middle, I start to get a stomach ache, or in this case.....my focus was gone.
Conner Danson was just the kind of hero I like....Cropped hair, broad shoulders, goatee and blue, blue eyes behind thick lashes....I mean...OH yeah!! And the way he wanted to take care of his sister and her two boys, and his trust issues from a cheating spouse...I mean..who wouldn't want this sexy, bad boy to have a starring role in her dreams.
So we started out good...and then we meet Leslie, who is trying to escape the pressure from her image-conscious Ex and his new pregnant wife...UGH!! I liked Leslie from the start and was definitely in her corner when it came to her weasel of an ex. I was pulling for her and Conner to get together, but then it was just.....I don't know...Boring??
I felt as if I was reading about a couple that was reading a scene from a movie. The dialogue was just...OFF. Some of the things he said were unbelievable and it just didn't match up with the kind of guy that he was portrayed to be. This was where I stopped caring about what happened to this couple, ok...I kind of still cared and skimmed through the rest of the book to the end.....BUT...I wasn't invested in the story and I HATE...HATE when that happens.
All in all...Hidden Summit was just OK...
On a bright note, I did like Katie, Connner's sister, who will be the heroine in Redwood Bend, the next Virgin River book due out February 28th, 2012. Maybe Katie and her sexy biker, Dylan will keep me reading the Virgin River Series!!

I also have read and enjoyed all of the Virgin River books including the novellas except for this one. Leslie and Conner are two new characters who are recently divorced with crazy ex's wanting reconciliation. Conner starts out brooding, but when he meets Leslie his demeanor suddenly changes. I thought it was too quick and so was the start of their relationship. Their relationship revolved around sex from the very (very) start, as well as, their situations with the ex-spouses. Their relationship was flat. I can't really define it, but something was missing from the two. They had drama outside of their relationship, but not very much in it.
Another problem I had was this - Bree Valenzuela is helping Conner hide in Virgin River before he testifies in a court case that poses a dangerous threat to him and everyone he knows. He is using a fake name and his sister is also in hiding. The threat never materialized. It was a missed opportunity to add suspense and more drama. It just hovered in the background and the conclusion of this plot line was lackluster. Plus, when Walt Arneson rides into town (apparently from another Carr series) I was baffled. I have never read any other series from Carr so the scene made no sense to me and confused me because of the Virgin River character Walt Booth (Vanni's father and Muriel's husband).
The highlights - Katie, Conner's sister. Katie is a war widow and is looking to fall in love again. Plus, the young abandoned mother, Nora, from Bring Me Home for Christmas (Virgin River Novels) , makes an appearance and more of her story is told. What happens to her was the most exciting part of the book.
Hidden Summit was also a nice reminder of familiar characters - Bree and Mike, Becca and Denny, Paul and Vanni, Jack and Mel, Noah and Ellie, Dan and Cheryl, & Becca and Denny.

This story had all the potential to be a heart wrenching love story: one down-on-her-luck heroine, one very sexy but very flawed hero, scandal and danger, and the ruggedly beautiful town of Virgin River, with all it's loved characters. But even with all that going on, what was supposed to be the main struggle in this story - and the reason I love reading romance so much - the struggle of their love, was pretty non-existant. There was a little identitiy confusion in the beginning of the book that led the hero to unsavory and false conclusions about the heroine, but that got cleared up pretty quick. And once that was out of the way they sort of just fell in bed together and pretty much stayed there. I'm not saying this book had too much sex in it. If anything I felt it could have had a little more sparks. I just feel liket the romance was too easy for them. They had no internal struggles. There was a lot going on outside of the two of them that sort of affected their relationship but it never felt like there was anything that was truly at risk between them. I felt like the trial was the main plot and their romance was a side story. I was really looking forward to reading this book but it lacked the emotional angst of VIRGIN RIVER or TEMPTATION RIDGE.
