Awww, such a heart warming story. Katie and Cam are such a good couple, both dealing with their own past and trying to help each other at the same time.
Cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

A solid and well-written contemporary romance about a woman who finds love while working a temp job at a mountain resort. I found the secondary characters a bit two-dimensional, but enjoyed Cameron and Katie quite a bit. While their respective back stories were a tad melodramatic, I really enjoyed their rapport and chemistry.
Love, Love Love this book! Jill Shalvis can do no wrong!
Instant Attraction on Books On Track
The story of Katie, an accountant who survived a terrible accident and decided to take life by the horns, and Cameron, a pro athlete who lost his career and returned home after a year of wandering.
Katie is temping for the company Cameron's brothers run when he returns, and the two are instantly intrigued by one another. However Katie is only there for a month and Cameron is not ready to start anything, so it takes them a while before they inevitably succumb to the attraction between them.
Their ways of dealing with their life changing events are vastly different, yet they end up helping each other heal and move on from the past, and they end up falling in love in the process.
Enjoyable story that introduces the Wilder family.

Characters: Accident survivor, former snowboard champion
World Building: Wilderness guides, Sierras
Plot: Internal
Sex: Medium
Read another: Probably
All of the characters seemed interesting and potentially complicated, so I'll probably read another. The passage of time in this book bothered me. I didn't feel it, and I didn't feel the difficulty of the expeditions, either.

I love, love, loved the chemistry between Katie and Cameron. I had been reading the author's Animal Magnetism series and when I caught up and had to actually wait for the next book in the series to come out, I decided to try out another of her series. I'm so glad I did. The cast of characters is quirky and fun...and sexy of course!
There are many directions I would like to see this series go, and I have confidence that Jill Shalvis will come through. I can't get enough of her heros.
