Finding Love in the Blue Ridge Mountains #1
Smoky Mountain Sunrise
He was King of the Mountain. Could he rule her heart, too?
Such an innocent play, thought Ramona Martin, when she agreed to be dashing Andre Doudet's girl for a summer in the incomparable Smoky Mountains. What possible harm could it do?
Yet, caught up in a web of deceit, Rae found herself face-to-face with some of the most challenging test of her life—as an athlete, as a woman in love, as a Christian...

Ramona Martin agreed to be Andre Doudet's girl for summer. In the Blue Ridge Mountains. -loved the scenery.
Favorite Line: Mischief splashed in her eyes. That described Ramona. A storm raged inside her, ready to break loose.
So much to like about this book. The scenes that described the Smoky Mountains. The characters living exciting lives. An interesting plot. I look forward to the next book.
Written for General Market (G): Contains no sexual dialogue or situations or strong language. Contains inspirational nature.

Smoky mountain sunrise by Lehman_ Yvonne
Romana Martin has agreed to be the boyfriend for the summer. She's Christian and her heart is more interested in another family member, not Andre DuDay.
She's an athlete and involved in teaching. Love the scenery as described and how secrets come out meant for really another person...
Like hearing of the camp and all the procedures and crafts being taught. Like twists and turns in this one.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

An Added Twist
Most Romance novels follow a very predictable pattern. While still enjoyable, they don't really qualify as page-turners. That's because you're pretty sure how it's all going to turn out. But Smoky Mountain Sunrise throws the reader a curve almost from the very beginning! And it made all the difference! It's an easy, fun read!

This reminds me of the old Mills and Boon romances where an innocent young girl is ostensibly involved with a young man but secretly falls in love with the older, successful, well-to-do authority figure who avoids her. It's a familiar and pleasant story, but not exciting.

Beautiful Story!
I have read a few of Yvonne’s stories now and they just keep getting better and better! With every page I want to keep reading I enjoy the details of the characters and I find it hard to stop reading to see what will happen next! Highly recommend this author!

Wonderful read!
I was not disappointed. Any of the books I have read by Yvonne Lehman have had realistic characters with well-written stories. I definitely recommend this book.

The level of deceit in this story is much higher than most in the series. The deceit starts almost from the beginning when Andre asks Rae to pretend to be his girl to get him out of a scrape with another young woman whom his uncle thinks he has misled into believing they will be married. The deceit snowballs until no one seems to know who is telling the truth when.
