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&#8217;s going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">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&#8217;s a big if. The wildlife&#8217;s wilder than usual, the camera crew&#8217;s determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton&#8217;s job tougher, but there&#8217;s only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile. When bad weather strikes, putting everyone at risk, it&#8217;ll take all of Easton&#8217;s skill to get them back home safely&#8230;and convince River she should stay in his arms for good.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16471 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts.jpg?resize=107%2C44\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Jan 19, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Moose Springs, Alaska<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Sourcebooks<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Casablanca<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $8.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>River Lane<\/strong> wants to resurrect her career in Hollywood but not as the hot shot actor she used to be. She is taking her lead behind a film documentary in Moose Springs, Alaska. The problem is that she has been banned from filming in town. The folks aren\u2019t too keen on her being there. They just don\u2019t know that River is not going to let that stop her. She is going to climb her mountain and get as much footage as possible.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Easton<\/strong> is a reclusive mountain man who has lived in Moose Springs his entire life. He works for his family tour adventure company.\u00a0 He finds himself helping River and her two-man crew for the trip up the mountain. He has his own opinions of her but they quickly change when he sees that she is this strong spirited woman.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is listed as a rom-com but the comedy is off. I didn\u2019t find the humor in this one as much. The author set up scenes that should have been funny but somehow, they fell short and missed the mark. Once a person tries too hard to be funny, they are no longer funny. Also, the romance is very slow. The author tells the readers that there is some attraction between Easton and River but fails to show it.\u00a0 I found them more as friends than lovers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What did save the story is the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> main character (Alaska). I love the backdrop and setting for the book.\u00a0 I definitely want to add Alaska to my bucket list. The description is so vivid and I found myself visualizing River and Easton in each scene.\u00a0 I can tell that the author has spent some time outdoors as the safety description is very detailed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ultimately, the romance needed to be a bit more stronger in this one in order for me to love.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/363kdO6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/enjoy-the-view\/id1514030756?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_enjoy_the_view&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/enjoy-the-view-sarah-morgenthaler\/1136694952?ean=9781492693147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/enjoy-the-view-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Morgenthaler_Enjoy_the_View?id=H5EEEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A grouchy mountaineer, a Hollywood starletAnd miles of untamed wilderness&#8230;What could possibly go wrong?

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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Jan 19, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Moose Springs, Alaska<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Sourcebooks<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Casablanca<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $8.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>River Lane<\/strong> wants to resurrect her career in Hollywood but not as the hot shot actor she used to be. She is taking her lead behind a film documentary in Moose Springs, Alaska. The problem is that she has been banned from filming in town. The folks aren\u2019t too keen on her being there. They just don\u2019t know that River is not going to let that stop her. She is going to climb her mountain and get as much footage as possible.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Easton<\/strong> is a reclusive mountain man who has lived in Moose Springs his entire life. He works for his family tour adventure company.\u00a0 He finds himself helping River and her two-man crew for the trip up the mountain. He has his own opinions of her but they quickly change when he sees that she is this strong spirited woman.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is listed as a rom-com but the comedy is off. I didn\u2019t find the humor in this one as much. The author set up scenes that should have been funny but somehow, they fell short and missed the mark. Once a person tries too hard to be funny, they are no longer funny. Also, the romance is very slow. The author tells the readers that there is some attraction between Easton and River but fails to show it.\u00a0 I found them more as friends than lovers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What did save the story is the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> main character (Alaska). I love the backdrop and setting for the book.\u00a0 I definitely want to add Alaska to my bucket list. The description is so vivid and I found myself visualizing River and Easton in each scene.\u00a0 I can tell that the author has spent some time outdoors as the safety description is very detailed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ultimately, the romance needed to be a bit more stronger in this one in order for me to love.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/363kdO6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/enjoy-the-view\/id1514030756?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_enjoy_the_view&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/enjoy-the-view-sarah-morgenthaler\/1136694952?ean=9781492693147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/enjoy-the-view-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Morgenthaler_Enjoy_the_View?id=H5EEEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
