Product Description
Welcome back to Grace Valley, California, where the best things in life never change?Here in this peaceful community, folks look out for one another like family, though sometimes a little too well. In a town like this, it's hard to keep a secret?but Dr. June Hudson has managed to keep one heck of a humdinger.? Though visits from her secret lover, undercover DEA agent Jim Post, are as clandestine as they are passionate, somehow it fits with her demanding schedule as the town's doctor?a calling that requires an innate ability to exist on caffeine, sticky buns and nerves of steel. But how can a secret lover compete with a flesh-and-blood heartthrob from her past? June's old flame has just returned to town after twenty years?and he's divorced. June is seriously rattled. So when the town's most devoted wife takes buckshot to her husband and some human bones turn up in her aunt Myrna's backyard, she's almost happy for the distraction. Sooner or later, love will have its way in Grace Valley. It always does.

#2 of the Grace Valley trilogy - What a Wonderful change of Pace! September 17, 2008
We get to revisit the wonderful characters from Deep in the Valley.
Dr. June Hudson,37, is still taking care of her friends and family in Grace Valley and still yearning for a baby of her own.
She is pretty sure that the job of OB-GYN will go to Dr. John Stone. He has moved his wife, Susan and daughter to Grace Valley and settled in.
June finds out that Blythe Culley has peppered Daniel in the rear with buckshot and wonders what has set her off. The Culleys have live in Grace Valley where they own a horse stables for the past 30 years.
Tom Toopeek runs his police department exceedingly well. His family is back with his oldest son, Johnny getting in trouble.
Jerry Powell, the therapist is called in to help Frank Craven.
They ran the womanizing preacher, Pastor Wickham out of town and they have a new one, Harry Shipton, who seems most likable.
Then we have a Paul Faraday, who claims to be a bird watcher who is hanging around Hudson House and trying to get to know Myrna Hudson Claypool. Did she kill her husband?
And more trouble - Daniel Culley is seeing Sarah Kelleher an artist. And interloper?
Birdie and Judge Forrest got more that they bargained for when their son, Chris came home with his two 14 year old twin sons.
Yup! those twins turned out to be trouble makers big time.
And June's secret? It seems that Jim Post has shown up a couple times and she didn't even get out her silver box.
This is wonderful country living at it's best. Everyone knows everyone and is willing to help if needed. It is close family feelings in this hamlet.
And then comes the big "accident" - Johnny gets to be a hero.
The pace is non-stop living action and human emotions. Wonderful!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - but don't stop there - now read Down By The River.

Great Series about a Small Town April 8, 2007

Very Good Book...She has you crying on one page & laughing on the nest one. I agree with Debbie Macomber..."Robyn Carr writes books that touch the heart and the funny bone."
 Minimal romance and undeveloped characters March 22, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Grace Valley physician Dr. June Hudson awaits the return of her secret lover, DEA agent Jim Post, and gets a shock when her first love, Jim Forrest (yeah, two leading men named Jim...) returns to town divorced and ready to resume their relationship with his rowdy teenage sons in tow. Since she has remained single, everyone in town assumes she'll take up with Forrest, but she'd rather wait for the other Jim. When mysterious bones turn up, finally the small town has something else to keep them occupied besides her love life.
Not realizing that this story was part of a series, I was at a disadvantage. Undeveloped characters kept popping up in the story, and felt out of place. One main character was absent throughout most of the novel. And the romance itself was minimal. When compared to her later novels like "Never too Late," this one just falls short at 2.5 stars.

What a wonderful series! I started Deep in The Valley on Sat. morning, finished Just Over the Mountain on Sun. at midnight, I just didn't want to put the books down; can't wait to start Down By the River and see what happens next. Dr. June, John, Elmer -all the characters are so well developed, and Jim Post, whew, wouldn't I like him to show up at my place in the middle of the night! Five stars all the way!
