Mountain Getaway

Rate this book
She came to the mountains to be alone and he is already rooted in the woods, yet a stubborn dog refuses to let them walk away from each other.

Molly is used to managing the chaos of her coffee shop, but she has no idea how to handle her own exhaustion. She heads to the mountains for a week of isolation, hoping the silence will help her move past a failed relationship and the burnout of city life. She expects to be alone with her thoughts. Instead, she finds herself sharing her campsite with a friendly, aging dog who refuses to leave her side.

Rick has spent years carving out a quiet life in the woods, far from the pressure of his parents' expectations. When he goes to retrieve his dog from the campground, he meets a woman with clear opinions and a guarded heart. He only intended to offer an apology for the intrusion, but the dog continuously brings them back together, turning a single apology into a shared hike and an afternoon over coffee. Rick finds himself drawn to this small town visitor, and he begins to realize that his solitary life in the mountains might be missing something essential.

Together, they find a connection that neither was looking for, but the path ahead requires one of them to walk away from the life they built. As the end of Molly's vacation approaches, the reality of her return home looms and in the stillness of the forest, they have to decide if a love this unexpected is worth changing their entire world.

Welcome! I’m Heather Pine, and I write wholesome, heartwarming romance with small-town charm and feel-good endings. My stories are all about love, laughter, and the kind of connections that make you smile long after you turn the last page.

I live in Canada, where I spend as much time as I can outdoors. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do, especially backcountry camping—there’s nothing like escaping into nature to spark new story ideas!

If you enjoy sweet romance without the steam, featuring lovable characters and charming small-town settings, I’d love for you to check out my books. Follow me here on Goodreads to stay updated on new releases and behind-the-scenes book details!

synopsis: After a particularly devastating breakup, Molly needs a break, a real break. She books two weeks camping in the wilderness away from the city. When a seemingly abandoned pup shows up on her campground followed by a handsome, rugged owner, Molly finds herself wondering if she’ll be able to have faith in love again.

review: This was such a sweet read. I really enjoyed Heather Pine’s writing style. The description of everything from the campground to the little town to the coffee shop’s ambiance was really enjoyable and well fleshed out. Molly and Rick are such likeable characters and I was really really rooting for them. Hudson is also a huge plus!!
A true, wholesome, Hallmark read jam packed with emotion, a slow burn, and a little bit of drama.

Cute little love story set in a town that feels like somewhere I have been. The dog is a neat hook, and it is easy to root for both main characters. I don't normally read fare like this but sometimes books just hook you.
