I've finished "Promise Canyon" the 13th book in her Virgin River series by Robyn Carr.
Product Description
After years spent on ranches around Los Angeles, Clay Tahoma is delighted to be Virgin River's new veterinary assistant. The secluded community's wild beauty tugs at his Navajo roots, and he's been welcomed with open arms by everyone in town — everyone except Lilly Yazhi.
Lilly has encountered her share of strong, silent, traditional men within her own aboriginal community, and she's not interested in coming back for more. In her eyes, Clay's earthy, sexy appeal is just an act used to charm wealthy women like his ex-wife. She can't deny his gift for gentling horses, but she's not about to let him control her. There's just one small problem — she can't control her attraction to Clay.
But in Virgin River, faith in new beginnings and the power of love has doors opening everywhere.…

My Review:
This book is about Clay and Lilly who have a love of horses. He's Navajo Indian and he's the new vet technician for Nate Jensen. He's originally from Flagstaff and the Navajo Nation. He's recently divorced, left Los Angeles and his beautiful ex-wife and wanted to a fresh start on life so he moved to Virgin River. He wants to keep a long distance away from her and have a stable place for him to live with his son Gabe who is seventeen (he lives with his grandparents).
Lilly is Hopi and trying to run from her traditional native culture. When she was thirteen she was betrayed and abandoned early which she is trying to forget. She still hasn't recovered and tries really hard to not get involved with another drop-dead sexy Navajo Native. But that changes when fate steps in and they find an injured and abandoned horse. When she sees how gentle, loving and patient he is with horses she changes her mind.
Jack the proprietor of the town's bar and eatery is named the Executor of Hope McCrea's trust (she recently died), which she has left to the whole community. As people come out and voice their opinions on what Jack should use the money for he becomes unpopular with them. He's only trying to do what he thinks is best for the community.
Colin Riordan is involved in a helicopter crash which results in terrible news. He becomes addicted to Oxycontin. His family tries to help him overcome this and to rebuild his life over again.
I really enjoyed reading how the Tahoma family is very family oriented and how Clay supports his dad. He actually got past his own needs to help build a relationship with his dad.
4/5
