I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what to think when I started this series. It gives you a look into alternate lifestyle in an honest, respectful way. Sarah and James know what they want and it seems that while they want each other, they want different things in life they cant give one another. This series takes you through their struggle with them. And its amazing. An eye opening experience with a talented author!

The Mountains Trilogy is a great 5 star read from the Mountains series. I was pulled right in and really like all of the characters in each of these books.
Book 1: Mountains Wanted Sarah is a professor and a single mom. When she meets Jame’s she is immediately attracted to him and they have a great connection. And we get some steamy moments from them. Sarah struggles with how to tell Jame’s her secret. How will he react, will he understand? All of the secondary characters were great, I loved Sarah’s best friend, she was a hoot. I had several LOL moments, especially when her son would ask her questions. We get a cliffhanger that leads into book 2. Thankfully this is a trilogy so you don’t have to wait to find out what happens.
Book 2: Mountains Climbed We move forward with Sarah’s story. She has revealed her lifestyle and is a very loving person. James has been deployed and moved on. Sarah is broken hearted and ends up meeting someone new. They both struggle with moving forward. There is so much more to this read, I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that my emotions were all over the place.
Book 3 – Mountains Loved This book tested my feelings for Sarah at times. I didn’t always agree with her decisions on things. We see a change in Sarah’s behavior, not what we are used to seeing in the previous books. It shows that she’s human. James was another one that pushed my buttons as well. I don’t want to go into detail on this with the risk of giving things away. I will just say 1-click and get started on this great series so you can understand my feelings.
Overall this is a great series and I really enjoy all of the characters. I look forward to reading more from the series and this author. Your emotions will be all over the place and we get some very steamy moments. Thank you Phoebe Alexander for a great read.

The Mountains Series Box Set includes the first three books of the amazing love story of Sarah and James. It’s a “military romance” but with very different twists and turns like I’ve never quite encountered within the same story and author. Normally to get this kind of steamy romance, I need a few different authors to surprise me but Phoebe DELIVERS. I absolutely LOVE this author and the fact that with every single book she had me blushing and looking around to see if anyone noticed. This reason and multiple others is why I keep coming back to her! In my opinion you absolutely have to read all three of these books in order, and READ THEM. Such an amazing box set.

This series will have you lurking series after series. Each book takes you on a journey through the relationship of Dr. S. Lynde and Sgt. James McAllister. The doctor is as open-minded about her sexuality as they come but isn’t looking for a relationship when she runs into the sergeant who changes her mind about that and life as she knows it in book one. In the second series of book two, the reader is in for a book full of shocks and surprises about both characters’ lives. New characters are introduced and so are the twists and turns. In this book, we develop more of an in-depth look into the main character’s lives as they navigate their new love lives. Finally in the final book of this trilogy, we’re still rooting for the couple as they face new experiences in their lives but with new tests. Pick up this trilogy and you won’t be disappointed in the way the author keeps you transfixed on this series alone. I can’t say how much I appreciate this author’s writing and the characters we’ve come to adore. In conclusion, pick these books up if you want to be entertained and for a good time any time. You won’t regret it!

This is an amazing series of books following the story of James and Sarah.
James and Sarah meet and start their relationship as friends with benefits. Before they realise what is happening they fall in love and Sarah shows James a lifestyle he never imagined before. Having and loving more than on partner at a time. However, as much as they love each other James decides he wants to settle down with someone who has his family values and beliefs so he proposes to his childhood sweetheart leaving Sarah heartbroken.
But no matter how hard they try they are drawn together. Can they have a happily ever after or are some mountains to high to climb.
I loved this series and i fell in love with the characters. I was completely drawn into their lives sharing their joy and feeling their pains.

I love Phoebe Alexander and her writing. Her books are 100% original but bring the realist problems to the table. They are filled with such raw emotion and heat! I devoured this series in no time! James and Sarah were amazing characters and the struggles they faced were real. I loved reading the issues these chapters faced and seeing how much they grew within the three books. This is the perfect read for a weekend binge!

Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Mountains series. This is the continuation of the story of James and Sarah. The first three books have to be read in order because the story is ongoing between the three books. The pair has faced many hardships. There are times where I was tearing up and other times I wanted to strangle the characters. There is a whole range of emotions and yet I did not want to put the book down. This is a fantastic continuation of a series. I am looking forward to more of the books in the series.

If you haven’t read this or added this to your TBR pile, you definitely should be doing that RIGHT NOW! This is the second series that I have read from phoebe Alexander and I can say that she is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors. The way she writes is phenomenal and the emotion she packs into all of her books is just unbelievable. I was not disappointed in the least little bit while reading any of these books. Mountains Wanted (book 1): The characters in this book were all so charming and precious. The chemistry between the different couples was remarkable. I felt like I truly knew them, as if they were my personal friends. Sarah is a very smart and open minded individual. I love the relationships that she develops throughout the book, especially her deep attachment to James. Throughout the struggles of their rocky start, I understood why Sarah would feel so connected to James while they were together and so distant while they were apart. It was fun watching their relationship grow. Sarah’s best friend, Rachel, is just a peach. She speaks her mind without a filter and I love it… she takes this book to a whole new level. She is witty, funny, and really balances Sarah out. Mountains Climbed (book 2): The characters from the 1st book are still in this one as are some new characters. Of course, I love all of the original characters and I was thrilled to see they were still there. At this point I would say that Sarah and James have kind of tried to part ways, He is deployed overseas and is wanting to settle down with someone else. Meanwhile, Sarah is broken hearted and just trying to feel like a person again. While out trying to live her life, she meets a young man named Garett Stone. He is charming, good looking, and a great distraction from the pain in her life. I desperately wanted to like Garett… but he just made it so hard to do so. Sarah ended up being hurt… again. I wanted so much for her to be happy. The push and pull of the relationship that she and James share this slightly frustrating. However I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I understand both of their struggles, uncertainty, and desire. I feel as if they share a connection that many people don’t get to experience in life. I was over the moon reading the ending to this book! Mountains Loved (book 3): This book is the continuation of the story about James and Sarah. From the very first page of book one I was absorbed in the love story with these two. I was thrilled that things finally worked out for them as a couple as I was fighting for them all along. Sarah finally has her happy ending. Or what she thought was her happy ending. However, marriage and adult life is sometimes not as simple as it seems to be. The happy couple struggles with many heart wrenching things, like fertility issues, trust issues, and the decision to open their relationship back up or not. I felt the heartache myself, as if it were me who was the one suffering through these terrible things. There were several times throughout this book I wanted to punch James directly in the face… but I knew Sarah, who is the voice of reason in the relationship, would get it all straightened out. I also felt sadness in my soul when there were points brought up about how quickly your children grow up. But I will say that every emotion I felt while on the roller coaster of reading this book was so worth the beautiful ending.

I loved these books!! Reading James and Sarah’s story was emotional, entertaining, informative, fun and so many more adjectives that I can’t think of. We got introduced to them in the first book, Mountains Wanted and that’s when I became hooked. I became completely invested in these characters, they are so different from one another, I was anxious to see where it was headed. The next book, Mountains Climbed introduced us to new characters and also kept us wondering what was going to happen with James and Sarah. Although these two are so different in their relationship views, we found the heart wants what the heart wants, but is that enough? That is why I needed to read the third book Mountains Loved to find out. These books were so exceptionally written that I didn’t want to put them down. Phoebe Alexander is a wonderful writer and I can’t wait to read more books from her, I know I won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend these books.

Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series written by Phoebe Alexander. As usual, I cannot say enough good things about this author and her style of writing… she is just phenomenal. Also, per usual, I will say that you need to read this series in the order that it was written. This is the continuation of the story about James and Sarah. From the very first page of book one I was absorbed in the love story with these two. I was thrilled that things finally worked out for them as a couple as I was fighting for them all along. Some of the things in this book were hard to read (regarding infertility issues and miscarriages) so it may not be suitable for everyone. I felt the heartache myself, as if it were me who was the one suffering through these terrible things. I also felt sadness in my soul when there were points brought up about how quickly your children grow up. But I will say that every emotion I felt while on the roller coaster of reading this book was so worth the beautiful ending. I will forever be a Phoebe fan and will seek to get my hands on anything that she has written.

Sarah and James have finally come back together, but it’s not without issues. They have fought hard to get to a point where they can be together openly and without judgment from each other. With both of them dealing with internal battles, it doesn’t help that they’re dealing with outside influences that threaten to break them apart for good. With every challenge they face, the emotional toll gets higher and higher.
This book has so many intense moments that made me want to scream and yell at them both! When things are good for them their love is so beautiful, its what love should be. But with all that good, there was so much more hurt than the two previous books in my opinion. Their journey is beautiful, heartbreaking, and downright hot. It’s hard not to feel a deep connection to these characters thanks to the way the author celebrated her muse and wrote an amazing story. I can’t wait to see who will get their own book next!

This is a brilliant boxset one I can’t recommend enough. All the novels have such brilliant storylines that kept me completely engrossed throughout I just couldn’t pull my eyes away. I love the chemistry and how much emotion there is dripping of the pages which make the stories even more enticing. I’m eager to read the boxset all over again it was brilliant.

What a way to end Sarah & James’s story. These three books have been captivating from start to finish, and this book is no different. Once again we follow these characters on an emotional rollercoaster. They once again face many obstacles that keep getting in their way of a HEA, but you can’t help but hope they don’t give up the fight to get their HEA. Phoebe Alexander creates characters that are real, have amazing chemistry and connection and really help you feel as though you are there in the story and really bring it to life. This has been an incredible series to really get drawn into, I have thoroughly enjoyed and loved the characters and storylines! I highly recommend this read!

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.

Mountains Series Boxed Set: (Books 1-3) by Phoebe Alexander. Ok so this series has quickly become one of my absolute favorites this year. James and Sarah will completely draw you into their world and won’t let you go. Please read each book in order as it’s a continuation story. I love when authors do box sets because no only do I now have them all together , it’s a good way to find new authors. While I’m not a newbie to this incredible author i highly recommend newbies to give this box set a chance because you won’t regret it. The characters are complex and relatable, at times you’ll truly want to ask them “why” they do things but you’ll love every minute of it. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

This is the 3rd book following Sarah and James story.
Finally together and settled into married life they are both happy and content, but things in their lives are changing.
Sarah’s children are growing fast and are mostly independent so is now the time for the pitter patter of tiny feet again?
They have many things to overcome together from parenting Sarah’s children, trying for their own, dealing with loss and deciding whether their relationship should be open or closed means this book is definately a page turner.

Mountains Box Set contains books 1-3 of the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. Books 1-3 contain the 3 full length novels which makes up James and Sarah’s story: Mountains Wanted, Mountains Climbed and Mountains Loved. The remaining books in the series are standalone novels which can be read in any order. Sarah Lynde is a sociology professor in her 30’s. She’s a polyamorous mother of 2 children. When giving a talk on homosexuality in the military she meets the very gorgeous Sergeant James McAllister. James is in his late 20’s and is looking for a soulmate to settle down with and start a family, so surely Sarah is just a diversion. These 3 books take us through James and Sarah’s story from their first meeting, through love and laughter, pain and heartbreak and a lot of very hot and steamy sex. Phoebe Alexander sure knows how to write a hot sex scene and this talent is put to great use throughout the 3 books and it’s not always restricted to just M/F sex. She likes to add more people to the party which makes for fun reading. James and Sarah’s story is far from plain sailing. There are so many trips and stumbles on the way but no matter what happens and who they are with, both just can’t help but want each other. These books are very angst-filled and there are many times that you just want to slap James and Sarah’s heads together to get them to see sense. I already was a huge fan of Phoebe Alexander’s writing before I read this series and now I’m an even bigger fan. 100% recommend this box set to other readers.

“Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Love does”. The Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander consists of three books, Mountains Wanted, Mountains Climbed and Mountains Loved featuring Sociology Professor Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister. The series follows their relationship from their first meeting at a ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Panel event’ where Sarah is a speaker and James is in the audience, and the books tell their relationship saga. Sarah is a single Mum of two and James is about to be deployed when they first meet and start a ‘friends with benefits’ type relationship. The chemistry between the couple sizzles off the page and the box set is recommended for 18+ due to the steamy sex scenes. The couple have a very rocky relationship and encounter many obstacles but they do enter into a non conventional polyamorous relationship. This is a well written series, full of drama, romance, steamy sex scenes and great characters with amazing chemistry. It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it and I fell in love with the very realistic characters, James and Sarah. As well as the main characters there is a host of great secondary characters all of which are fascinating in their own right. I liked how the author had the couple in a non conventional relationship and that Sarah was the more sexually aware of the two. It was an original and unpredictable read full of emotional ups and downs. I loved how Sarah and James relationship changed and developed over the course of the 3 books and how despite many problems they always came back together stronger than before. I was hooked from page one of the first book and was pleased that all three books were in the box set so I could continue reading Sarah and James story from start to finish. I definitely recommend this contemporary romance series by Phoebe Alexander.

The Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander is an amazing series that I cannot recommend highly enough. It is a series that does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters the whole way through. The author has done a fantastic job of creating such lasting and strong characters. I found myself thinking of them even when I was not reading the books. I was behind them the whole way, even when it isn’t clear if they will find their way or not. The books are so well written. The continuation of the story is done with absolute ease. It never felt like it was drawn out or that the story was getting “old”. The author keeps it fresh and engaging through all 3 books. Phoebe Alexander has to be one of my favourite authors. I will happily read anything she writes. This series is no different and I would strongly advise you read it immediately.

This is the third of the “Mountains Loved” series and I’m still finding myself rooting for Dr. Sarah Lynde and Sgt. James McAllister. From the first book to this third of the series, it’s gripped my attention more than I thought it would. The characters feel so real as you experience as much with them as we do in real life. The two main characters are making family decisions and how to move forward as a couple. No matter what they go through, I’m hoping to see them through it all. If you’re gonna read this installment, please pick it up from the beginning! This is well worth the read with so much to look forward to.

Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander was a steam realistic read. I love having all 3 books in a bundle. Super easy to just jump and enjoy Sarah and James as their story develops. The uninterrupted read was great! If you have not read any of the series this is definitely a great bundle to start with.

This was the conclusion of James and Sarah’s story which began in ‘Mountains Wanted’ and continued in ‘Mountains Climbed’.“Intended for readers 18+, the first three Mountains Series books must be read in order, as it is James and Sarah’s continuing saga”. Sociology Professor Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister are finally together having discovered that, “Time doesn’t heal all wounds…LOVE does”. Life has not been easy for either Sarah or James and their relationship has been very rocky from the start even now they are together their relationship is not a conventional one. Having come together as a family with Sarah’s two teenage children they are happily married and even talking about having a baby, but their main concern is whether to have an open or closed marriage having had a polyamorous relationship in the past. Normal everyday pressures along with past issues all put a strain on their relationship. The couple are used to having to climb mountains where their love is concerned but have they now got a rock solid relationship or will it crumble into the sea? No spoilers, but if you have read books one and two you will definitely want to read this fantastically written book and find out their fate. This is another action packed story by Alexander, full of excitement, emotions, hot steamy sex scenes, romance and everyday relatable issues all of which makes this a book I could not put down.

Mountains Series Boxset includes books 1 – 3 by Phoebe Alexander. This boxset is a must read, the author wrote an amazing series that draws you in and keeps your attention until the very last page. These stories follow Sarah Lynde who is a sociology professor and single mother and Army 1st Sergeant James McAllister who never knows when he will deploy but wants a family someday. Sarah is just looking for friends with benefits when James walks into the picture but the chemistry and connection these two have make sparks fly. We follow their story in these 3 books that will have you on an emotional roller coaster from page one of the first book all the way to the last page of the third book. Can the two overcome all the obstacles in their lives to be together or will they walk away? Highly recommend you picking up this boxset!

This story just keeps getting better with each book, Mountains Loved is the 3rd book in the Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander. This is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story that will like the others keep you on an emotional roller coaster. I wouldn’t read this as a standalone and recommend reading the other 2 first. The author has a way of bringing this story to life where you feel like you are there witnessing it all at least that’s how I felt. These two still have mountains to overcome but will they be able to or will this be the end of their relationship?

This is such a great series! The box set is a perfect way to get your James and Sarah fix! I am listing my reviews for each book in the series and I hope you will grab this set and fall in love with these characters as much as I have!
Book 1 – Mountains Wanted
How do I start? Can I just say I seriously would love to throat punch Phoebe Alexander right now??? LOL! I won’t tell you much about the book because you can read the blurb and find out what it’s about. What I will tell you is how it made me feel. This book absolutely crushed me emotionally! I kept having to put the book down the closer I got to the end because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see the pages anymore!
When I started this book I thought it was really good…hot, steamy, sexy…everything I love in a good romance. I loved learning about Sarah and really connected with her and her views on relationships throughout this book. The way she handles her children and their questions was so impressive. I was totally invested in them early on. So I’m reading and getting somewhat frustrated with her and her choices as the story proceeds. Well…by the time I was about three quarters of the way through, I was done for! Sarah’s emotions hit me so hard! I was torn up from that point to the very last page! Then I cried for about an hour after I finished!
This book was so good and I honestly can’t recommend it enough! And while it does end, it is somewhat of a cliff hanger that will have you screaming for the next book in the series! You will fall in love with all of the characters in this story. Smile, cheer, and laugh with them. Sob, hurt, and ugly cry with them. Well done Ms. Alexander! 5 stars and then some!
Book 2 – Mountains Climbed
Once again, Ms. Alexander has me by the heart strings! This is the second book in the Mountains Series and I am absolutely hooked! Sarah is one exceptional lady in my opinion! She is so open and loving and accepting. Everything I try to be but probably fall way short the majority of the time. I love how she deals with her children in an open and honest manor. Something I once again try to do but don’t always succeed at.
In this second book, James has been deployed, leaving Maggie at home, and Sarah has met someone else and is trying her best to move on and heal her broken heart. They can’t seem to forget one another though, no matter how hard they try. As in my review of Mountains Wanted, the first book in this series, I can’t tell you much about what happens in this story. You truly need to read it to experience the full range of emotions these stories take you through.
This series is emotional, touching, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters and their stories. Well, except for Maggie maybe. She’s a bit too closed minded and judgmental for me! LOL! I can’t wait to read the next book in James and Sarah’s story! This author truly knows how to take you along on a journey!
Book 3 – Mountains Loved
This is the third book in the Mountains series and I highly recommend reading them in order. This is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story and you won’t want to miss a thing! Once again, Ms. Alexander takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that you won’t soon forget. This is a thought provoking journey with wonderfully written characters and scenes. My heart is still feeling it, even after finishing the book!
I have honestly grown to love Sarah and her family and friends. So this story had me feeling a bit disconnected from Sarah on several occasions. I guess I have gotten so involved with their lives that I was truly angry at her for some of her decisions in this one! She shows a vulnerability that I didn’t expect and it upset me at times! Just like her family and friends, I guess I saw her as Superwoman and wanted her to always be that strong woman who never second guessed herself. We truly see how human she is in this story. James will have you frustrated beyond belief throughout this one! I was at a point where I really wanted to kick him to the curb!
I don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to give you and spoilers. Just know that you won’t regret reading this series if you like a great story that will open your mind and leave you with all the feels!

Five Stars
You can not deny that Phoebe Alexander can write a very compelling story. I story that drags you into lifestyles you hadn’t wanted to know about. You can go kicking and screaming but you enjoy every moment of it. I truly didn’t feel like I wouldn’t enjoy these stories seem because it’s not a life I would lead. But the way the author details these stories has you looking at it in a new way. You’re taken on a journey to find love but also yourself. You learn to accept and appreciate people for who they are. I feel like the author was telling you to not judge what you do not know or understand. I have read many books by this author and haven’t been disappointed. I recommend you give this trilogy a chance. The characters grow on you and you end up rooting for their perfect HEA. The journey to that HEA is a long and hard road and you need to know if they make it. The characters are well written and have that perfect about of depth, perfection and flaws that any good character should have. The emotions almost feel tangible.
