Dream Mountain

The second in a trilogy, following "Paradise Island," Dream Mountain does not disappoint! There's romance, mystery, action, suspense, with humor thrown in to sweeten the mix! A wonderful book! I loved the chemistry between our heroine and the man she initially mistakes for a bear and shoots with rock salt. Highly recommended!
