Summary: An excellent summer read!
Review: This book is a follow-up to a story in a 3-in-1 book. This one follows the story of Carine Winters, sister of Antonia Winters. Carine finds a dead body and has to rely on Ty North to protect her. Ty North is the only man she has ever loved and he left her at the altar 9 months earlier. Now he is back and they try to figure out whodunnit while also trying to figure out where they stand with one another.I definitely enjoyed this book- the romance was great and the action was thick. I just thought there were too many plots going on at once and it took away from the overall tone of the book. Still, a great read...especially if you read the first one and are a fan of strong characters, love a whodunnit and are a sucker for romance!

Summary: Left me rather .. Cold
Review: This isn't a particularly engaging book. It's not bad, but it's not great either - the book is extremely average in every respect. The characters and their motivations for doing things are not carefully crafted, the murder mystery plot wasn't that interesting, and the romance between the two main characters was weak. I kept waiting for this book to really 'take off,' but it never did. The writing remained stable, but there just wasn't enough action, suspense or romance to make this a great book. The author did her homework in terms of describing the location where the book takes place, and it appears she studied up quite a bit on mountaineering and military terms, but even those descriptions lacked feeling and that engaging quality that good writing evokes. The characters are not ones that you will remember after the book is done, and the writing just isn't strong enough to create visuals and place you alongside the characters. While reading this book, I was reminded of college professors with mundane, uninflected voices that seem to drone on and on. This book, and the writing, was very monotone.
