Tom Cavanaugh thought he wanted to escape from his family's apple orchard business so he joined the Marines. After his two years, he decided the last thing he wanted to do was be anywhere else but home. Nora Crane has had a tough life to be so young but she is filled with determination and resolve to make the best of it for her two young daughters. (You may remember Nora as the young woman from Bring Me Home for Christmas that was stranded in a snow storm with no heat or milk for her newborn infant.)
When the Cavanaugh's posted a notice at the church for apple pickers, Nora jumped at the opportunity to have a pretty decent paying job for a change. Tom Cavanaugh took one look at her and turned her down...he didn't need the distraction. His grandmother, Maxie, intervenes and Nora is hired. And so begins the transformation of Tom and Nora's lives.
I really liked how most of this book is devoted to the development of a relationship between Tom and Nora. He's convinced she's not his "type" and goes off on a journey with someone who seems to meet all of his criteria. Nora is developing sort of a crush on Tom from afar and doesn't even entertain a notion that a relationship could ever develop. Their own self-development and awareness was interesting to watch unfold, assisted by the good people around them, Maxie for Tom and Noah Kincaid for Nora (you remember him as the pastor of the Presbyterian Church). To complicate matters for Nora, revelations about her parents significantly alter her life in the meantime.
There is secondary story involving Luke and one of his former Army buddies, Hank Cooper, that had the makings of something pretty interesting but fell flat by the end of the book.Read more ›

I can't believe the story of Tom and Nora was a Virgin River book. Where was the hot and steamy romance found in the Virgin River books?? Nowhere apparently. The lukewarm romance takes place in the last 30 pages. The rest could be described as the friendship story of Tom and Nora. There was a lot that took place with Tom and Nora, but they mostly dealt with everything separately. Really slow story and then a completely rushed ending. I didn't really find the ending believable since so little of the book focused on any romance between Tom and Nora. As I was reading, I was beginnning to think there would be no romance at all. I assume the side story of new character Coop is to build up for a future book, but that was not much to talk about either. At least it provided an excuse to use some of my other fave characters (Jack, Mel, Luke, Shelby). I feel like there was something lacking in this book - I can't find any other way to explain it. If you are looking for a good stand alone book, choose another VR book. If you read the series, then you should read this to just keep current.

After how disappointed I was with the last two VR books, I was really hoping that this book would be better. It wasn't. It kills me to write negative reviews, especially about a series that I love so much, but what is up with these last few books? It's almost like someone else is writing them. This book deals with Tom and Nora(awesome character, who we've met in previous books), however if you're expecting romance....don't be. There is almost no romance between the two of them until the last few chapters. I felt like more time was spent with him lusting after his lady-friend Darla than developing his feelings for Nora. Another thing that drove me nuts was that for being such a "tough guy", Tom really needed to grow a pair! It took him weeks to tell Darla he was no longer interested and kept stringing her along. Definitely not the type of guy that belongs in a "romance" novel. My other complaint was the awful epilogue. Instead of Nora going to college or pursuing her dreams, she's knocked up with another child. She's only 23, give her a chance to do something for herself! What I did like was Nora's character. She's a strong woman and a great mother. Definitely an interesting character. I loved that she was able to develop a relationship with her father. Overall, I say unless you have some free time to burn, skip this one. But as I've said in my last couple of negative reviews....don't miss the early VR books! They really are so much better than the last 3 books in this series. Hopefully, Ms. Carr's next few books will be a bit more interesting.

TOM CAVANAUGH MAY THINK HE WANTS A TRADITIONAL WOMAN, BUT IN VIRGIN RIVER, THE GREATEST TRADITION IS FALLING IN LOVE UNEXPECTEDLY...
Former marine Tom Cavanaugh is back from the Middle East "sandbox" and ready to take over his family's apple orchard and settle down. He has the perfect woman in mind, someone sweet, docile and beautiful. A woman without baggage. A woman he can marry.
Single mom Nora Crane is the opposite of the females Tom has in mind. Nora will work the most demanding physical job to support her young daughters, and that includes picking apples at Cavanaugh's orchard. She's struggled since coming to Virgin River, and she wants to be self-supporting. After a bad experience with the father of her children, she's certainly not looking for a man. But ruggedly handsome and opinionated Tom Cavanaugh enters her thoughts more than is comfortable. And Tom, who thinks he has found the perfect woman, discovers she pales in comparison to lovely, determined Nora. It might just take some well-intentioned advice from Tom's grandmother to show him what's really important.
I loved this story in the hugely popular Virgin River series. While I had thought this was to be the last book according to Ms. Carr, it seems she has surprised us with a twentieth book-a Christmas story-due out in November. Lucky us! In the Virgin River series, Ms. Carr found a setting and characters that struck a chord with her audience and she kept on producing books that made each of us want to move to Virgin River and share those lives. I will be sad to see the series end, however, Sunrise Point is every bit as wonderful as each of the other VR books. Nora and Tom are delightful characters, though I admit wanting to knock some sense into Tom long before his grandmother did.Read more ›
