Many secondary characters in each book however are characters from previous books who are living in the California small town. The Virgin River books series currently has twenty-one books with five additional anthologies.Īll of the books in the series are contemporary romance books, each featuring its own, standalone story with new and different main characters. How Many Books are in the Virgin River Book Series? In fact, Virgin River was named one of the HarperCollins 200 Iconic Books of the past 200 years. The Virgin River book series became popular with romance book fans long before the TV series debuted on Netflix and its popularity is still going strong. I also missed more interaction with the Virgin River characters who I love.Robyn Carr’s Virgin River book series began back in 2007 with the publication of Virgin River, and is still going strong with her latest book in the series published in 2020 and now a new anthology coming out in 2022. Robyn Carr seems to know a lot more about food. (The pronunciation of dressage was also irritatingly incorrect.) She should take a lesson from author Diana Gabaldon (Outlander) and do a little more research. There is no way someone who rode barrels for awhile as a kid will look like they have been riding dressage their whole life. There were all kinds of crazy, dangerous interactions with horses that were just stupid and full of misinformation. I was disappointed that the author didn't at very least take time to find out the differences in horse colors, or the differences between harnesses, bridles halters and other tack. There are horse whisperers, there are many that are well known, but they use actual techniques not mind reading. I especially disliked the representation of the author's version of a 'Horse Whisperer'.

It also stopped where it could have been more interesting. I looked forward to the Native American aspect of it but it just wasn't as good as some of the others. I just felt this particular book in the series was a little shallow and fell short.

Let me start by saying that I love this series and this author. I'm a horse lover and wanted to love this one.
