3.75
I’m torn between 3.75 - 4 stars. I will admit Anita Kelly’s second novel in this stand alone series showed improvement in their writing. I was intrigued by the setting (I’m not that much of an outdoor / hiking person) but I don’t really feel like we were able to get a full grasp of the beauty of nature (at least not from Ben’s pov) I liked Alexei a lot and my heart broke the more we learned his backstory. Ben though I wasn’t 100% sure of. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the instant “love/lust” mechanism behind these two. I wish there had been more time given for the duo to be friends before jumping into anything sexual / romantic.
