My Kind of Christmas (Virgin River #20)
by
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 (from Goodreads).

My Thoughts
As you can see from the title, this is book #20 in the Virgin River series. Dare I tell you that this is the first book I’ve read of the series. Where the H have I been!?!?!?!
This was a very satisfying read. The author made the characters very real. I liked Angie and Patrick, and cheered for them as they try to work through their struggles. Both bring a history of trauma and pain the made them very endearing.
I see from reading other reviews that the Virgin River series is VERY popular. From reading just this one book, I now understand why. Off I go to find book #1 so I too can meet all the folks from Virgin Rivers.
Many thanks to Harlequin Publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an unbiased review.

I have read and loved every book in this series and I especially love and look forward to the holiday book each year. I so recommend you go back and read them from the beginning..even though each can be read as a standalone..you will learn the stories of every single characters you met in this book.
