A grouchy mountaineer, a Hollywood starlet
And miles of untamed wilderness…
What could possibly go wrong?
Former Hollywood darling River Lane’s acting career is tanking fast. Determined to start fresh behind the camera, she agrees to film a documentary about the picturesque small town of Moose Springs, Alaska. The assignment should have been easy, but the quirky locals want nothing to do with River. Well, too bad: River’s going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes.
Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.
Easton Lockett may be a gentle giant, but he knows a thing or two about survival. If he can keep everyone in line, he should be able to get River and her crew up and down Mount Veil in one piece. Turns out that’s a big if. The wildlife’s wilder than usual, the camera crew’s determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton’s job tougher, but there’s only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile. When bad weather strikes, putting everyone at risk, it’ll take all of Easton’s skill to get them back home safely…and convince River she should stay in his arms for good.

My Review
When movie star River Lane’s acting career starts to slide, she grabs onto directing determined to keep her foot in Hollywood’s unfaithful industry. Unfortunately, the only benefactor willing to take her on, is a documentary company looking to create a film in the remote town of Moose Springs, Alaska. Except, the town doesn’t want them and block her filming at every corner.
Easton Lockett climbs mountains for a living, but even he isn’t prepared for the troublesome, beautiful film director determined to do her job, even if it means hiring him to guide them up one of the area’s steepest and most forbidding mountains. He can keep them from falling off the side of a cliff, but can he stop his heart from falling in love?
This is a fun, flirty book about opposites attracting. The scenery is breathtaking, the characters engaging, and there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments that I enjoyed. The sparks fly as these two, strong personalities grapple their way to the top of the mountain and learn love is the greatest adventure of all.
