This was just an okay read for me. It seemed a bit inconsistent. I may have missed something, but this is the start of a new series, but it seemed like this one started in the middle.
Lily is supposed to be the brave, skilled mountain girl. But, we really don't see this. We hear about it. Aiden and his brother reference it and her skill, but we don't see it in action. This smacks of poor story development and it isn't my experience with Ms. Shalvis. Not sure what is going on, but I've thought her last few books are average and don't pull me like some I've enjoyed of a few years ago. She may have lost her mojo or maybe I've lost my interest in her storytelling.
Still slumping ..
Happy Reading!

I'm interested in the thread about the possibility of the resort going under financially. I'd like to see Shalvis focus on that rather than the small town setting, which she has pretty much done to death.

I agree. I thought she took many short-cuts with this one that didn't work well for me. Or maybe the whole rescue process. How many 48 hour days can a person work? I thought Aiden was 48 hour'd to death. None of it really worked for me, but gave it the 3 stars because I know this author can do it when she tries. I get the impression lately that many just don't try anymore. I don't if it is me or not, but I can't seem to find much worth reading lately.
