Sarah Morgan is a great storyteller. She never fails to surprise me. In this book she tackles a very original premise : high altitude medicine and climbing the world's highest mountain Everest. During this adventure we get to know Finn and Juliet, both doctors, both mountain climbers, both have skeletons in the cupboard.
The romance was intense but all the interesting info about high altitude medicine & climbing to Everest slow it down. And to be honest, 10 years of separation is a long period to make it plausible to me.

Fascinating setting

[Annie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not like Juliet, at all. This heroine had me shaking my head and skipping pages. She was such a coward. I have no idea how a man like Finn could love her. I just was not impressed with her at all. She was basically risking her life to climb a mountain she didn't want to climb bc her brother died climbing it? Then she goes on and on about how she can't love anyone bc it's too much of a risk. She bitches about how unfair it is to the ones that are left behind and the ones left at home worrying. Isn't that EXACTLY what she's doing to her mother? I mean she's completely broken bc her father and brother died and left her, what about her mom?!!!! Selfish and cowardly is how I would sum up Dr. Juliet Adams.

Comments about High-altitude Doctor

Book was interesting in the details about high altitude and had a good story line. It kept my interest through the read.

[Elin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Den kvinnliga huvudpersonen är specialist på höjdrelaterade sjukdomar. Trots det behöver den manlige huvudkaraktären förklara alla tillstånd för henne - i detalj. Om och om igen.

[Jen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've found Sarah Morgan's medical series to be sweet and addictive reading; I love the incredulity of her settings that just whisk you away in romantic splendour. There's a decided chill in High-Altitude Doctor but it's tempered by the heat and tension between Juliet and Finn. Finn seems a bit too perfect but his over-confidence is challenged by Juliet's insistence on keeping distance. Go figure.

Five stars for the premise. Although the heroine was too whiny, I thought the setting was just awesome. I love love stories bordering on travel lit.

The book is well written and the twist at the start really surprised me. The circumstances are just too far beyond me to seem realistic.
