Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander – Review by Katie Matthews
Mountains Series Boxed Set: by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 stars is all I could give for this box set – each story in it, Mountains Wanted, Mountains Climbed and Mountains Loved were all absolutely amazing reads – I loved every single minute of them. The feeling the author pours into her writing is wonderful, her books are just a true pleasure to read.
Book 1 – Mountains Wanted
In the story we meet Dr Sarah Lynde. A sociology professor, single mom and open-minded sexual adventurer! She doesn’t want a relationship – that is until she meets Army First Sergeant James McAllister, a handsome and intelligent ROTC instructor.
I loved the connection between Sarah and James. There wasn’t just the initial attraction between them but they also connected on an intellectual level. Sarah opened James’ eyes to a new way of approaching relationships. Sarah and James’ story will pull you into another world and will definitely leave you wanting more!
There wasn’t one character in this story that I didn’t enjoy – they all brought something different to the story. I loved the different relationships that Sarah had and could see that she got different things from each person. I loved the friendship between her and Rachel. They were the epitome of best friends!
Book 2 – Mountains Climbed
In this story I again was completely immersed into Sarah and James’ story! There’s turmoil for James as he tries to decide what he wants but there is still that ever present passion between him and Sarah. James’ thoughts and feelings really came through in this book and I could feel him inner turmoil as a reader. The author does an amazing job at conveying the feelings of her characters through to the reader with her wonderful writing.
Book 3 – Mountains Loved
I love the characters Sarah and James! Their story has been so up and down with a whole host of things along the way so I was really looking forward to seeing what was going to happen next for them. I’m not quite sure I’ve gotten off the emotional rollercoaster that Ms Alexander had me on during this story! I laughed, I cried and I shouted (mainly at James!) at the book many times whilst I was reading it! I have been rooting for Sarah and James since they very first met and I have really taken them both into my heart! My heart really ached for Sarah in this story though; it wasn’t what I was expecting at all! The author writes her books in such a way that they really do feel real at times, I can visualise the settings, the characters and their feelings whilst I am reading.
