Even if you’re not a big fan of romantic fiction, this series is based on Robyn Carr’s multi-book Virgin River Series. The story revolves around the life of a widowed nurse-practitioner and midwife Mel Monroe who heads north to escape heartache and lands up in the mountain town of Virgin River.

Mel falls in love with a guy who owns the bar in Virgin River and both end up dating each other even after the odds are against them.

Mel and Jack have incredible on-screen chemistry and even if you don’t like the initial few episodes, you’ll end up watching the whole season for their incredible chemistry. The chemistry is engaging enough that you start rooting for the couple from the very start.

Whereas Jack is an equally good boyfriend, Mel is the kind of girlfriend one needs when they are looking for a long-lasting relationship.

So, here are 5 reasons why all men need a girlfriend like ‘Mel’.
