She can often be found with her toes in the lake and a glass of wine in her hand, dreaming up her next book and working on her own happily ever after with her very own mountain man.
Good stories, but they seemed to end quickly. The resolutions seemed a little too easy. That being said, this is a good series to read if you want a quick escape. They are good fun to read and it was interesting to see the troublemaker become the heroine in a later book! Not what you usually see! Get this collection for the savings and for some good fun reading.
This collection of stories surprised me. Set in a mountain resort, they combine a beautiful, well-drawn setting, well-rounded and likeable characters, and interesting plots with twists and unexpected turns. There is plenty of romance and emotion, too, with an amount of passion putting these squarely in the "sweet romance" genre without being saccharine. Very well done.
Secret Gifts The day after Megan broke up with her boss's son she was sent to keep an eye on their hard partying client. This wasn't the type of job she had done for the PR firm but she felt she had no choice. Gage knew he wasn't the person he had been living but didn't know how to change. Goodbye gifts Megan's boss knew she never mixed business with pleasure. For this reason he thought she could be a diversion for Dylan. The possibility of a promotion made her say yes. But regret made her cancel the deal. She should have told Dylan before Trent half good the story. Tempting gifts Jason thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Lisa thought he was wonderfully handsome. They both had previous loves to work their way past
Loved the interactions between characters and pulling the series together by keeping character from earlier stories in the mix. Wonderful portrayal of people finding the magic of love as they make changes and live their lives. Well done.
Sweet she with no sex or cussing. The only problem was each story was left feeling like the ending wasn't finished. Guess you have to read the other books to feel like you actually finished them. Nice storyline though.
The stories are rather formulaic and lack depth. Characters know right away they are attracted and fall in love without details of really talking or getting to know each other. The setting is wonderful. So light, quick reading.
Really enjoyed this box set. Three great stories centered around Castle Mountain Lodge. Love the lodge, it sounds like a beautiful place. The characters are great; real, friendly, smart and fun. Enjoyed getting to know them and experiencing their heas.
Great love stories well developed life like characters, but endings so abrupt that it ruins the story. If you are going to write a story with good characters, give them the ending they deserve.
Enjoyed all three books. Castle Mountain Lodge is the place you seem to find just what you need and that forever love. A place to heal and learn. Enjoyable easy read.
These three books are pleasant reads that share characters and have a cohesive feel. The characterizations and plots are well written and make for enjoyable reading.
I loved reading the castle mountain Series. The men and women who came to visit the Lodge, and how they found love, it's almost magical. I love the endings.
All Elena Aitken books are totally addictive!, boxsets are even better because I can binge read, which is what I really enjoy! Thank you for another batch of sweet stories with HEA.
He fell into stardom, and it went to his head. Off course the press had a field day, at his expense. She was brought in to curtail any further fallout, but she may also may have been the cause of further mayhem.
#5 Goodbye Gifts
Carmen has been an integral part of the Castle Mountain Lodge, assisting to tie every part of the stories together. She comes across as a very caring and sensitive person. So this is her journey to find love. It's really is a wonderful tale.
#6 Tempting Gifts
Lisa had flirted once too often, and now was on a short leash, as far as her employment went. So, when an incredibly hunkie man walked into the child care facility, where she worked, and started to flirt with her, she tried to shut it down quickly. However, mixed messages were given, and then her supervisor picked up on the tension. Again, mixed messages, which seemed a theme, throughout this episode. Don't worry though, the Mountain magic still worked.
#7 Holiday Gifts
He was the new customer liaison officer, she had a craft event happening. One glance and the magic was happening.
