Send Me

by Anna Grace

He was everything she never wanted...

Professional rock climber Sedona Jansen will do whatever it takes to send her route. This one climb will cement her role in a major documentary about female climbers, and fund an important opportunity for her little brother. After a lifetime of scraping by, she’ll finally be in a position to help others, and advance her career.
Alden Wilder spent eighteen months developing an incredible route at the very limit of his abilities. When he sends it, the route, with his name attached, will appear in major climbing publications. If he can send it first. That’s hard to do when a professional climber shows up at your crag and tries to steal your climb.
Sedona and Alden are stuck together for seven days as they race to send the route. Over campfire stories and climbing sessions on the rock, Sedona learns the powerful motivation behind Alden’s ambition to beat her to the first ascent. Alden is determined to remember that Sedona is the enemy here; a funny, smart, attractive enemy that he can’t let distract him from his purpose. As the days unfold, keeping their eyes on the climb, and off each other, proves difficult as they work together to unlock the secrets of the rock.
Sparks fly and banter echoes off the rock in this witty, heartwarming story about trust and ambition.

[Sue Wineland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Send Me tells the story of two rock climbers in fierce competition for the same goal in a sport where cooperation is essential. Their resolution of this conflict makes for a humorous and heartwarming read.

I know nothing about rock climbing but understood what was happening thanks to a short glossary at the end.

This is a very well written book with interesting, complex characters who are very believable. Have fun reading it!

I really enjoyed reading Send Me. It was fun learning more about rock climbing, the skill involved and beautiful settings. Also fascinating was the exploration of the characters with all their complexity, strengths and vulnerabilities. Like the characters, the story has depth, nuance and insight while remaining very interesting. Don't miss the exciting new romance author, Anna Grace!

I loved the book! It was a wonderful break from the dark and/or weighty subjects of other books I am reading. I hadn't read a romance in awhile and was pleasantly surprised to find it well written and not following the typical formulaic stories I have read before. The best part was the epilogue, because I always wonder but "what happened then?" "Send Me" is just a nice sweet romance that gives you those warm fuzzy feelings and makes you smile and want to hug someone!

Anna Grace has sweet, funny characters. This is a short book that touches on her writing style. The dog Mike, Bruce the annoying friend… such nice touches. I really liked reading about a First Ascent of a rock climbing route. If you enjoyed this story, look for her Love, Oregon series with Harlequin Heartwarming.

You will learn a lot about climbing, especially all the technical terms associated with it. It’s a very nice, feel-good love story too.
