Two Bloggers One Series ~ My Kind of Christmas by Robin Carr (Virgin River #18)

 

It's so fun to be back in Virgin River, I am really sad that we only have one more to go and we will have finished this series buddy read. Once you seen my review go and check out what Barb thought at Booker T's Farm. 

Patrick Riordan always thought that nothing could match the adrenaline rush he gets from his job. But this Christmas, Patrick’s pulse is really racing...

The Riordan brothers may have a reputation for being rough-and tumble, but Patrick has always been the gentle, sweet-natured one. These days, his easygoing manner is being tested by his high-octane career as a navy pilot. But for the Riordan brothers, when the going gets tough…the tough find the love of a good woman. Except the woman who has caught Patrick’s attention is Jack Sheridan’s very attractive niece.

Angie LeCroix comes to Virgin River to spend Christmas relaxing, away from her well-intentioned but hovering mother. Yet instead of freedom, she gets Jack Sheridan. If her uncle had his way, she’d never go out again. And certainly not with rugged, handsome Patrick Riordan. But Angie has her own idea of the kind of Christmas she wants—and the kind of man!

Patrick and Angie thought they wanted to be left alone this Christmas—until they meet each other. Then they want to be left alone together. But the Sheridan and Riordan families have different plans for Patrick and Angie—and for Christmas, Virgin River–style!

I think we might have finally got to the last Riordan! There are a lot of brothers! Out of all the brothers Patrick is the most easy going one but now he is having a rough go of things. Patrick is a navy pilot and on a mission his best friend was shot down. Patrick is on leave while he reevaluates things and he is also seeing to his best friends wife and son. His friend wanted him to take care of them and he has been contemplating what that exactly means, that maybe he should marry her as they know each other well and get on fine.

Angie is Jack Sheridan's young niece who was in medical school but had a bad accident while with some friends and has been recovering. While recovering she has been thinking a lot about her life and if she wanted to go back to medical school. Her mother who has been helping her during this time has become a little to stifling for her and she decides while she is trying to figure things out she needs to get away from her mother and heads to Jacks in Virgin River.

Patrick is a few years older than Angie but as soon as they met there was an attraction and one thing in there way is Uncle Jack and just about all the other men in Virgin River, at least at first. Patrick tells Angie that it's just a Christmas fling that he has something he must do (Marry his late friends wife), but the more he is with Angie the harder it is becoming to leave Virgin River.

I just love this series! The romances are just so fluffy and fun, Virgin River is so cozy. I love all the side characters and they were a lot of fun in this one, especially the men! I really liked Patrick and Angie (after I got use to her) and they made a cute couple.

I am really sad that next month we will finish of this series and I highly suggest it if you like romances.
