Great start to a new series
I have read all of this author's books in the Willow Creek series and all of them were terrific.
But I believe this book tops all of them.
Gideon saves a woman in the middle of nowhere, stranded in wagon in the winter. A woman who had no experience in wilderness survival.
He hears her screams and saves her. The longer he is with Victoria, the more he desires her.
But will she still want to be with him if she knew of his shameful
past? And can she love him enough to abandon ...more

Loved it!
First book I've read by the writer & I'm eager for more! The plot is exciting & has action enough to keep you reading. The H & h do go back & forth in their pursuit of each other's affections. The minor characters are interesting. The dastardly villains are hateful. There are a few steamy scenes appropriate to the plot. Well written. ...more

The storyline may be fine eventually (sometimes boring and repetitive), but grammar is shamefully poor!!! You'll find you're father instead of your father, she's been beat instead of she's been beaten, and many many other unforgivable mistakes (too many!)

The libidos of two injured people defied reality. Within a few hours of a life threatening injury, the hero was only feeling turned on by the heroine. Give me a break. Add to that a weak semi hysterical flower suddenly becomes She-ra pulling the hero to safety while carrying two packs. Incredible. This caused me to abandon the book. Finally went back to read the ending thinking I might give this a chance. No spoilers but the end did not compensate.

Characteristic Grayson
Having read Willow Creek, Silver Falls has all the same enjoyment & endearing characters Grayson has created. Only complaint is the grammatical errors. Many times a preposition was missing, the tense switched, and one paragraph was written in first POV instead of third. These really distracted from the plot. A good editorial cleanup would change this to a 4 star review (withholding the 5 because some of Willow Creek is better).

This book started out exciting and captured you right away. The setting is in beautiful, rugged Montana during the rough winter time on the side of a mountain..... Then it started to become too explicit and ruined it for me - I quit reading it. That is unfortunate because it could have been a good read otherwise.
I did give it a 3 star only because I enjoyed the setting in Montana. It could have been so good if it was kept “cleaner” it’s to bad.

Victoria ran away to marry her Thomas; big mistake. She was young and seeking adventure, she made a bad choice. When Gideon Hart came into her life, she was a widow, being beaten by brutal men and needing help. I enjoyed this story and the way the author described the mountain, visualized the waterfalls and talked about life in an old cabin. Thanks for a wonderful tale.

This story will take you on an adventure you won't forget. You may shed some tears, but of course there is a happily ever after ending. I will keep this book on my to be read again shelf!

A Soft Kiss In Winter is a beautiful written treasure. The landscape descriptions, and character development, was spot on. I cannot wait for the next instalment.
