Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander – Review by Jenni Bishop

Mountains Series Boxed Set: by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Mountains Trilogy (Mountains #1-3) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that focuses on love and sexual freedom/self-discovery. All three books are together which is a bonus because you don’t have to wait for the next book.

Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander is an erotic tale where the female lead is sexual liberal and polyamorous, and our unsuspecting military man is younger and conservative. It is an unlikely pairing but somehow it works, and he is introduced to a lifestyle he never knew existed. Sarah knows what she wants but the traditionalist catholic boy James wants his cake and eat it too. Sometimes I wanted to sit Sarah down and give her a good talking to and hug James due to his confusion and uncertainty and I absolutely cracked up laughing at Sarah’s best friend and her antics.
It is a very emotive story and touches on subjects that others may find taboo, but Phoebe is as always very respectful in the genre that she writes.

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is the continuing erotic tale where there is much angst and longing, heartache and pain. You need to read Mountains Wanted first because it continues on from it. Phoebe has once again given us a thought-provoking story of one’s sexual journey and of what some will see as taboo. It is a great story, but it is such an emotive story that you feel everything the characters are feeling. Phoebe has once again given us a story that is beautifully written and an erotic contemporary romance that you will love from start to finish. I was so drawn within the story that I read it in one sitting. Sarah has to learn to live without the love of her life which is heart-breaking within itself, but she also has to learn that she must adjust her way of thinking when it comes to the needs of her children. Even though she tried to move on, she could not help what her heart wanted but there is only so much she can take before she finally gives up. James is on an overseas deployment and can’t help but think of the one woman who opened his eyes, he knows he should only focus on his fiancée, but Sarah holds a place in his heart and needs her in his life. Unfortunately, it is too little too late, and he may have lost the greatest thing to ever happen to him. I can’t wait to read the next book to see if my suppositions are founded.

Mountains Loved (Mountains Series Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that is full of many, many raw emotions. There were many times when I wanted to grab hold of James and strangle him, I just couldn’t believe him, but I should have known better after the first two books. This is not a book of rainbows and unicorns as we would have believed after the last book. This book gives us a look at a relationship that is real and lacking in communication, sometimes love is not enough. It also gives a look at how dangerous it is if you allow others into your relationship. Sarah, gets put through the wringer with this book and she does it all selflessly for the man she loves. Unfortunately, she has to do a lot of it on her own and she doesn’t know where she will end up. My heart broke in half for her as Phoebe gave us an honest and raw story. James wants his cake and eat it too and expects that Sarah will just go along with it. He is selfish and can’t see her side of things even though many show him, but it is hard to take a good long look at yourself sometimes. I’m not sure if he can redeem himself with me……. I can’t wait to see where Phoebe takes us next. I am assuming we will get more of a look at Abby, but you never know.
