Alaskan Mountain Attack

GIVEAWAY

VARLAND, SARAH

ALASKAN MOUNTAIN ATTACK

Saving lives in the mountains has put a bull's eye on her back.

Search-and-rescue worker Piper McAdams risks her life every day in the Alaskan wilderness, but she never expected to interrupt attempted murders -- or draw a killer's attention. Now Officer Judah Wicks needs her help to find out why someone wants her dead. Putting aside their past almost-relationship, they must work together to stop the murderer...or Piper's next rescue mission could be her last.

My Review:

Whooooooaaaa, that opening scene! Not for the faint of heart, or readers with a fear of heights! I found the mountain climbing aspects of this novel fascinating and what better location to face the elements than Alaska? So great setting too! And, once again, Varland creates a nice balance between romance and suspense. 

Piper and Judah had been friends and climbing buddies heading towards something more when Judah inexplicably put the brakes on. They've managed reserved civility whenever their paths cross since the 'break up' but now they are thrown together in a perplexing case where Piper seems to be the target. And, of course, all those old feelings flare back to life. Happy sigh. I really like the way the romance is developed, it's a little bit different than the norm and I loved the pacing.

The suspense is intriguing, with a nice splash of outdoor adventuring and plays out to a stunning conclusion. And, bonus, we get a glimpse at Levi and Adriana (Alaskan Showdown hero and heroine) in happily wedded bliss. Levi and Judah are brothers and it was fun to see the tables turned with Levi now cautioning Judah on romance. You don't need to have read the previous book or any of the other Raven Pass books to enjoy this one, though they are all great reads.
