I did not want to put this beautiful and fun story down. SHELTERING HEARTS had me neglecting my household duties but I didn't care! I was worried about what was going to happen to all of these wonderful people. I would pack my bags in a New York minute and move there! But be prepared to go back and read the whole series! It's just that good! The only problem I have with this series, besides the fact that Robyn Carr is finished writing it is that I am always left with wishing Virgin River was a real place. If you've never read the Virgin River series you could easily start with this heart warming story. SHELTERING HEARTS is a quick read that You can easily read in one sitting and love every minute of it. Hang on people, SHELTERING HEARTS is a fun and crazy ride. She is controlling and uptight and Clay doesn't think he stands a chance. Clay is horrified that Dory suffered the way she did and the kids too! But it's also very sweet and I'm really happy Dory opened up to Clay and explained why she is the way she is. That's all I'm saying.anyway, after some time, things between Clay and Dory calm down after she explains to him what her past was like. Oh let me tell you, Clay is going to definitely give you all the feels. He finally gives up trying to be neighborly and stays away.

He just wants to help her and she lets him know that if he thinks she is going to date him, he has another thing coming. He just moved in and trying to be a good neighbor, helps Dory, doing things around her house which puts her nerves on edge. Dory Finn and her two children are trying to escape her abusive past. SHELTERING HEARTS is a quick story but it sure does pack a punch. It sure was nice to visit my old friends in Virgin River. I started this series years ago and I'm on a mission to finish it up this year. SHELTERING HEARTS is book 10.1 in the Virgin River series.
