Starting over is serious business…
With her professional skiing career cut short by an accident, Hannah James is putting all her energy into transforming Snowy Sky Resort into something special. There’s only one obstacle. Famous pro-snowboarder-turned-consultant Tate Addison has his own ideas about taking the Rankins, Alaska, lodge to the next level. But Hannah won’t compromise her dreams. She gets that Tate is trying to create a stable home for his orphaned six-year-old nephew—a boy Hannah already adores. And if she isn’t careful, she could also fall for the boy’s too-attractive uncle. Is she risking heartbreak? Or do she and Tate really want the same things out of life?

Review:
Hannah and Lucas (and Viktor, and all of Hannah’s family and friends) are wonderful characters. Hannah’s ability to stay positive and upbeat in spite of all the things that have happened to her is amazing. No matter what issues she’s dealing with (and there’s a potential doozy in this book) she doesn’t let them get her down. (And I had to laugh out loud early on when Tate was trying to ask Hannah out and she was oblivious from start to finish that that’s what he was doing. Too funny!) Lucas is a heartbreaker–it’s so wonderful watching him come out of his shell and start to trust as the story continues. and I constantly found myself wanting to give him a hug.
Tate had a tendency to get all wrapped up in “poor Tate, poor Lucas” mode, convinced that Hannah and her “charmed” life just couldn’t understand the woes they’d been through–okay the first time, but when he does it again?–a bit grrrrr-worthy. Fortunately he manages to pull together a sweet gesture (and times it perfectly!) at the end, saving his exasperating butt, and getting him his HEA at last.
This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last. It worked well as a standalone, though it’s 4th in her Seasons of Alaska series, though now I want to see how the first three couples got to the happy point we see them at here 🙂 Fingers crossed that Ms. Ross will follow up with Adele and Crciket’s story, because there’s definitely some interesting drama going on with those two!
Rating: 4 stars / B+
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
