Review: Kiss the Sky by M.K. Schiller


Love can move mountains . . .

Strong, athletic, and driven, Tristan Sinclair is determined to fulfill his late brother’s wish to climb Pakistan’s K2, the world’s second highest mountain. He never expects part of the challenge will be getting along with one of his fellow climbers—or that the greatest peril may lie beyond the summit . . .

A passionate, life-long climber, Pakistan born Farah Nawaz is skeptical of the hotshot from Arizona. But as she and Tristan help each other conquer obstacle after obstacle, they find they have more in common than they thought—including a simmering attraction. And when suspicious deaths put them in the sights of a ruthless killer, they’ll have to cover their tracks long enough to find out why—and stay alive for a future together . . .

Terri's Thoughts

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!

I had no idea what to expect with this story.  It was centered around mountain climbing which I have no desire to do nor any real knowledge on it.  I thought what the heck, I will give it a shot.

I actually really enjoyed the story.  Instead of a simple romance, this actually had an interesting plot.  With the backdrop of the mountain and Pakistan, this story felt like it held some substance that can sometimes be lacking.  The reader also learns about the characters long before any romance takes place, I liked this.

The part about the climb was interesting to me even though it was a little glossed over.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to stand on the summit of the world's second highest mountain.  Who am I kidding, I don't even want to step to the top of a ladder!

To be completely honest in my review, the point that the characters reach the summit was also the "summit" of the story for me.  From there is kind of went a little downhill, pardon the pun.  Not completely, however the twists in the storyline got a little far fetched and crazy afterwards.  As I was invested by this point I just settled in for the ride to see where the plot took me.  Without spoilers, I did guess the what and the who before it was revealed.

This story was interesting in a good way for me and I really enjoyed the backdrop in which it was set.  Enough so that I will be keeping an eye out for more work by Schiller.
