It's pricey but the payoff is a lifelong relationship with the person you are the most compatible one. When I read the description, I thought of The One with its DNA mate matching service.
But that is where the comparison ends. The synopsis was interesting, and I had high hopes for this. I didn't care for the beginning but hung in there and then it began to pique my interest. But unfortunately, that didn't last. I became disinterested again but hung in there hoping I would be won over again.
I didn't really feel a connection with the characters, I didn't feel for their plight. True, there were parts of the book which I found to be interesting, but there were too many parts that just didn't win me over and at the end of the day, this book just wasn't for me.
Others are enjoying this much more than I did, so please seek out their reviews as well.

not my favorite one in the series but I appreciated that it earl's overly long. I do like that we got to see more of John "Preacher" and we got to seenot my favorite one in the series but I appreciated that it earl's overly long. I do like that we got to see more of John "Preacher" and we got to see the big man show some tenderness. It was also nice to see Mel and Jack welcome their child. For a short book, the author included breast cancer, a stillborn, a healthy baby born, domestic violence issues, a divorce and sex. whew. I do like the Virgin River gang and look forward to more books in the series....more

This was the 12th book in a series and I had not read the previous books, but I found this book did a good job as a stand alone book for me. There were parts/Characters in the book where it would have been nice to have some background information (the hunt for the Collector, Cambion, more on Parker's deceased wife and daughter, etc.) yet even without the background information the book was good. This book had a mix of mystery, horror (mild) and the supernatural. Charlie Parker is a private detective who is investigating the disappearance of a missing girl and the death of her father, a homeless man who occasionally provided help to Parker on his cases. The Town of Prosperous sets the stage. A small town in Maine that has deep, dark secrets. The setting of the book initially reminded me of books by Stephen King - small town(s) in Maine with creepy people doing creepy things.But this is where my comparison ends.
I really enjoyed this novel by Connolly. I thought the story enfolded at a nice pace although I would have liked more on the history of Prosperous. I hesitate to say more about this as I don't want to give away the plot. I think this book would appeal to many types of readers - those who like mysteries, those who like crime novels, etc. This book is perfect for this time of year. This book did peak my interest in this book series and I would be willing to go back and read some earlier books in the series....more

This was a really neat concept. A cookbook with a love story behind it. The story of two chefs, Ana Raquel and Greg, who met while they are children share a past, meet up again, write a cookbook and re-connect. The story was very endearing and sweet, the recipes are fantastic! I am looking forward to trying some of them out. Highly recommend....more
