A grouchy mountaineer, a Hollywood starlet And miles of untamed wilderness... What could possibly go wrong? Former Hollywood darling River Lane's acting career is tanking fast. Determined to start fresh behind the camera, she agrees to film a documentary about the picturesque small town of Moose Springs, Alaska. The assignment should have been easy, but the quirky locals want nothing to do with River. Well, too bad: River's going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes. Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb. Easton Lockett may be a gentle giant, but he knows a thing or two about survival. If he can keep everyone in line, he should be able to get River and her crew up and down Mount Veil in one piece. Turns out that's a big if. The wildlife's wilder than usual, the camera crew's determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton's job tougher, but there's only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile. When bad weather strikes, putting everyone at risk, it'll take all of Easton's skill to get them back home safely...and convince River she should stay in his arms for good. "Fresh, fun and romantic."—SARAH MORGAN, USA Today bestselling author for The Tourist Attraction

I am permanently in love with the fictional Moose Springs, Alaska and all of its inhabitants. This third book in the Moose Springs series is pure delight. It is just as good and entertaining as the first two.
This installment of the Moose Springs adventures focuses on Easton Lockett, who is by far one of my favorite Moose Springs characters. He's a giant of a man but with a big heart. He loves the outdoors and makes his living as a mountain guide. He gets roped into taking a struggling actress turned director/producer, River Lane, on a dangerous climb of his favorite mountain, Mount Veil. River is full of spirit and loves adventure. She is determined to make her mark behind the film scenes with a documentary of her experience on Mount Veil. Of course, danger ensues and love develops, which makes for a very engaging romance book.
I would say this is my second favorite Moose Springs book after the original, The Tourist Attraction. The two main characters have great chemistry, and their personalities are well-suited to each other. They both love climbing and outdoor life. They both seek out adventure. I love that this book focuses not only on the budding romance but also on the climbing of the mountain and all that that entails.
The cast of secondary characters includes familiar faces from the previous two books, especially Graham and Zoe. The newly introduced secondary characters, River's coworkers, are interesting and add to the story. A lot of humor is injected into the story by these secondary characters. And be on the lookout for the lovestruck marmot!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has read the other books in the series, but also to any reader that enjoys a sweet romance with a dash of adventure.
