La parte della storia che vede i protagonisti perdersi in montagna proprio quando inizia una tempesta è interessante e direi ben fatta. Il problema è il picchio che compare ogni tanto e che sembra essere un messaggero dell'aldilà: questo mi è sembrato un po' troppo forzato e strano.

This was different from other Love Inspired Suspense books. There was no bad guy. They were lost on the mountain and needed to survive. And there was a lot more “mystical” happenings which was surprising for this line. Not saying I disagree or agree, just surprising as this Christian line is typically conservative. Birds as messengers from dead relatives above and dreams of dead relatives speaking to the character. Pretty unusual. Ultimately I just missed the suspense of “bad guys”.

Great inspirational romance!
Whitney is one of the leaders of a youth group getting ready to climb a mountain on her first birthday without her mom. Jeremy has agreed to take his daughter Sam on the trek. But somehow Sam gets separated from the group. Jeremy takes off after her and Whitney joins his search. All of them are missing family members who have died. That fact along with trying to survive draws them close together. But as more and more things happen, will they be able to overcome the difficulties to find their way off the mountain and into happiness all together?I
The pace is fast and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character oriented storyline that has some action and some kisses but no steam. The characters are vibrant and engaging. It was interesting to see how the Christian ideals were woven into the story along with some thoughts about losing people you love and prayers. This is a very uplifting story. Enjoy!

quite different
I’ve probably have read hundreds of LIS books over the years but this one was very different. There were no murders, shootings, kidnappings,etc. It was just a sweet romance that comes about by being lost in the mountains. I really enjoyed it.
