Rescued In The Mountains
Calla was barely 18 years old and ready to go off to college when she has a passionate one night stand with Jake and loses her virginity to him. They never think they will see each other again but she got pregnant that one special night. Meanwhile, Jake joined up and spent time in Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD. Since leaving the military he has lived in the mountains in Maine in his own wooden cabinwith his dog, Casper, with no electricity nor running water or tv! He often spends time with his friend Gabe who lives nearby [about a mile away]. Eleven years later, Calla is now a romance writer and wants to get some inspiration for her latest book and so she does a survival course before hiking in the mountains. Unfortunately, bad timing leads to her caught in a bad snow storm and Jake rescues her, little realising that she was HIS Calla! What I found refreshingly lovely about this latest story by Amy Brent was that Jake had not been a man whore in the eleven years between being with Calla and finding her in the storm, which does tend to be the ‘formula’ in many love stories these days. It was her memory that often helped him throughout the years and her encounter with him had certainly provided fabulous ‘material’ for her novels. As she has to spend some time there together in the storm they play a game of @truth or Dare’ and all sorts of interesting info is revealed. Their passion for one another is still burning brightly but is that enough? Or are these fews days together all that they are going to have? Will Jake want more of her? Will they tell each other how they feel? Will Calla want to live in the mountains with him? Do they stand a chance at a HEA? This is one of Amy’s best stories yet. I loved the twists in the storyline and I liked ‘hearing’ their POV and it flowed so well. By the end of the book I really felt as if I almost ‘knew’ them. Their interactions were so well written and I couldn’t put the book down as it was just so great a read. I fully encourage you all to get your own copy and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did. Looking forward to Amy’s next story. I received an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here
Definitely recommended
