This is the 4th book in the series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. It deal with different issues that can happen after a Skiing accident. Some of the book conxtet made me a bit edge as it is hard hitting. Once Chris comes into Carly life things change. This is an emotional read.

The Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly an emotional five-star read. I did not think this always deserved five-stars, as certain parts of the story annoyed me, but the fact the author was so brave with her leading man, pushed it over the edge. Both main characters have a past and have been broken but have put the pieces back together, but they haven’t ever been who again, hopefully now they meet they can start to become whole again, but it’s not an easy slope to climb, and sometimes you have to fall to make it to the top.

I really like this author so I was looking forward to reading this story by her and I wasn’t disappointed. The story definitely had lots of emotion and the author did an amazing job with Chris’ character, I could genuinely feel how he was feeling at times. There were a few parts of the story that I did skip over just because I find them difficult to read about but I don’t think it really affecting my overall view of this story which was a nice romance with two nice characters. I loved Chris for his determination and his mind-set considering what has happened to him in his life. Overall I really enjoyed the story, and I especially loved Chris!!
I’m looking forward to more to come from this author in the future.

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance (Lawson Family #4) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
This story will have you sad and happy at the same time. Chris has been through a lot. He had the Olympics in his future until a skiing accident took that dream away. He is a very strong character because he picked himself back up and two years later he was skiing again as a paraplegic. During training he found something he didn’t know he was looking for. Carly is a very special woman. She didn’t look at Chris any less because he was in a wheelchair. She saw a man and what the possibilities could be. The scenes were definitely interesting and different. I couldn’t imagine the pain and fear these characters felt. The author did an amazing job writing these characters

I really enjoyed this story as it didn’t feel far fetched. It felt like I was watching a movie in my mind and could see them all as real people.
Yes it has romance but it shows it all. The good and bad, the hard and easy times too.
Great story, great characters and amazing writing.

The Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is book four of the Lawson Family Series. This book, as with the other books in the series, can be read as a standalone. Honestly though, the whole series is too good to resist!
Carly has been carrying a burden for many years and she’s adapted so that she doesn’t have to get too close to people. Chris is focused on training. He doesn’t have time for women or relationships. Will these two find the courage to overcome their obstacles or will they get in their own way?
This book was packed with emotion. I couldn’t put it down. It felt like such a rollercoaster. It was so well written you could feel everything these characters were dealing with. I was really rooting for them to work out all their issues. This book was a perfect addition to the series!

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly.
This story had me hooked from the get go! Set in Montana in a beautiful sounding ski resort, Carly works as a part of the ski patrol team. Carrying a secret, she is happy to rely on short-term romances, and then along comes Chris.
Chris has his own past to deal with, but he’s got his sights set high and he’s ready to train hard. Romance is not on his agenda
I loved this story, it was jam-packed full of emotion and draws you in from the first page. The twist and turns along the way keep you hooked right until the end. The characters were fantastic, and I love it when an author takes the time to ensure you really get to know them, for me it makes a story so much better.

The Longest Run is the 4th book in the Lawson Family Series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. Each book concentrates on the story of one of the Lawson siblings and can be read as a standalone but as I’ve read and loved all 4 books, I recommend that you read them all. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
In this book we finally get the story of the 1 female Lawson sibling. Poor Carly has been overshadowed by her brothers and any prospective boyfriend is treated to the over protective brothers routine. I love Carly as a character. She’s loving her job, loving life and definitely not looking for a long term romance. Just someone to keep her bed warm during the winter ski season and then move on. Until she met Chris Markham.
Chris Markham was an Olympic potential skier until he suffered a serious accident that left him a paraplegic. Being a strong and resilient man, Chris is still determined to continue skiing and join the Paralympic team. Chris is probably one of my favourite male characters that I’ve read in a long time. I applaud Tracey Carmer-Kelly for having the leading man in her book as a wheelchair user. It’s very rare to read a romance novel with one of the main characters in a wheelchair. In fact I think this is only the 2nd book I have read like this and I’ve read a LOT of books. Chris is an amazing character and I loved reading his and Carly’s story.
I’d definitely categorise this book as a MUST read!

The Longest Run: A Ski Patrol Rescue Romance is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. It is a sweet and emotive sports romance that covers guilt, disability, drama, secrets, forgiveness, skiing, family, hope, and Love.
I have loved reading the Lawson Family series and meeting the family. Each book can be read as a standalone if you wanted- but there is a lot to be had by reading all four books.
This is Carly’s turn, and she has been carrying the burden of guilt for so long now- it is holding her back in many ways. On the surface she seems to have an enviable life, working as a rafting guide in the Summer months, and on the ski patrol during winter. She has no plans on settling down, enjoying her bachelorhood- or so she thought.
Chris has been through so much, but he hasn’t let it beat him- working harder than ever to achieve his Olympic dreams. He is focused and determined, nothing can distract him- until Carly comes along. Being drawn to someone was the last thing he expected. But will they come to terms with the past, open up, and take a chance on love? You’ll have to read the story to find out.
This was such a well written story, with fully developed and endearing characters. I am looking forward to the next book, Connor’s story.
Thank you, Ms. Cramer-Kelly!

This is a beautiful love story about taking risk, learning to forgive and find love again.
Carly is works on the mountains as a medical person assisting people who have accidents or are injured while skiing. She loves her job and since her heart was broken she hasn’t let anyone get close to her. That is until Chris comes into her life.
Chris Markum was a professional skier until an accident left him paralysed. Now he’s back in training to join the paralymics team. When he meets Carly the attraction is real and quick but he has several issues. Will his disability stop him finding love? Will he be able to satisfy her like a normal man.
They both have to leave to adapt their lives and open themselves up and risk being hurt in order to let their love grow. Will fear tear them apart? Or are they strong enough to fight all the obstacles and be together?

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance (Lawson Family Book 4) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is a contemporary sports romance story. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book, and I was not disappointed. The story is one that will stir up your emotions and make your heart ache. Tracey’s wonderful narrative brings the characters to life and this lovable coupling brings two characters together who have endured pain and suffering, loss and guilt in their lives that it will break your heart right along with them. But there is also love and hope, wonder and joy to be had that you are not able to walk away until you have finished the book in one sitting. I have loved the Lawson’s right from the start, and I am glad we got to catch up, they feel like my own family.

Many experiences influence Tracey’s writing, and she has been known to undertake unusual endeavors (such as firefighter training and learning to fly a helicopter) just for the sake of the experience. Being an Army-trained combat medic and a “biker chick” for over 30 years has had significant influence in her books, but even “ordinary” events have struck a chord or inspired a character or plot idea.
In 2018 Tracey returned to school to recertify as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and currently works at various sporting and music events when she’s not processing orders for the family business (Leader Motorcycle) or working at a substance abuse counseling center.
Tracey lives in small-town Minnesota with her husband, two kids, and two cats. They are a true “soccer family” (she even worked as a referee for two years). She enjoys downhill skiing and spending time at the family lake place.
