The Heart of the Mountains by Pepper D. Basham, Pepper D. Basham
5.0
✅ Escaping A Forced Marriage
✅ Forced Proximity
✅ “Lip-Itching” Kisses
✅ Beautiful + Moving Faith Elements
The Heart of the Mountains is the second book in the My Heart Belongs in the Blue Ridge series by Pepper Basham. It is a beautiful story of tested faith, sweet and tender romance, true transformation, and second chances. When our main female character Cora Taylor runs away from home, escaping a marriage arrangement forced upon her by her father, seeking his self-interests, she finds herself in the strangest place she has ever been - the Blue Ridge Mountains. Cora meets our main male character, Jeb McAdams, right away. The romance in this novel is considered a slow-burn romance but the fact that both characters are forced into proximity quite often from the beginning makes it feel like it moves faster!
Jeb McAdams is quite possibly one of the SWEETEST main male characters I have had the pleasure of getting to know. He is a whole different kind of tenderness and strength! It was endearing watching the quiet mountain man with moving faith, morals, and character see his quiet life turned upside down by the stubborn, hard-headed, and sweet Cora Taylor. “Lip-Itching” kisses is also one of my new favorite sayings.
