A love frozen in time . . .
Holly knew the romantic helicopter ride up to the remote peak of Whisky Mountain was a bad idea. But she never expected it to snatch her fiancé from her—or destroy her life. A few fiery seconds turn a postcard-perfect morning in the Canadian Rockies into a snowy hell, thirteen thousand feet above sea level. And in the midst of grief and agony, Holly catches sight of a scene in the ice that will haunt her until she can return and discover the truth.
Oliver Nelson could see the stranger had a mystery inside her. The scars on her face, the pain in her eyes, the insistence that he teach her completely alone—no one needs to learn rock climbing, or so he thought. But the more he gets to know her, the more he admires her drive, her ingenuity, and that little edge of recklessness. If she can trust him with her story, he’s ready to follow her wherever her heart takes her.
But nature’s deadly beauty isn’t the only danger waiting for them on Whisky Mountain. To survive, Oliver and Holly will have to move fast—and think faster . . .
Terri's Thoughts
** I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**
I read this a while ago and due to a hectic schedule I am only getting around to writing my review now and for that I offer my apologies.
This is a case of going a little bit outside of my comfort zone and being pleasantly surprised. I don't usually gravitate towards adventure or action type stories and this was both. Without divulging too much of the plot, I will say that this story was really far fetched which I usually have a hard time being on board with yet I really enjoyed it. It goes to show that if you just let your mind go, you can enjoy the vision of the author even when you know that there is no way this could happen in real life.
I was caught up in the drama from the beginning and Holly's need to make things right despite her fears. I wanted a win for her with all of the bad things that had happened to her. As mentioned, the events that take place could never occur in real life but it didn't matter. I was living every moment of the story.
I am glad that I took the step outside of my normal reading wheelhouse and took a chance on this story!
