Terrific combination of second-chance romance and emotional suspense. Sheri moved to Eagle Mountain to start over after the death of her daughter and the end of her marriage. As a teacher, Eagle Mountain Search and Rescue Team member, and avid competitive climber, keeping busy helps her deal with her grief. As the book opens, she witnesses the kidnapping of a little girl, though she doesn't know it at the time. While speaking with the sheriff and the parents about what she saw, a Colorado Bureau of Investigation detective appears, looking for the suspected kidnapper. Sheri is shocked to see her ex-husband, Erik.
Erik is hot on the trail of an embezzler who jumped bail to avoid his trial. He didn't expect to find his quarry involved in a kidnapping. He's surprised when he arrives in Eagle Mountain and sees Sheri for the first time in two years. He notices the changes in her immediately and is just as drawn to her as he was when they were married.
This book hooked me from the first chapter with its complicated suspense and second-chance romance. Because of the tragedy of losing her daughter, Sheri is fully invested in helping to bring young Dawn home. I loved watching her and Erik work together, combining her area knowledge with his detective skills. As they spent time together, their worry about Dawn helped them talk about and work through the issues that ended their marriage. I liked how their rekindling attraction opened their eyes to the love they never lost. However, there is still a little wariness on both their parts until a dangerous situation reminds them that you never know how short your time together might be.
The suspense of the story was outstanding. From the moment Dawn disappeared, everyone was intent on finding her as soon as possible. There were twists and turns, from the intentionally wrecked car to their disappearance, leading law enforcement to believe the kidnapper wasn't working alone. I could feel their frustration as time passed, and they still couldn't find her. An unexpected development changed everything and quickly led Erik and the others where they needed to be. The final confrontation was tense and emotional, though in some unexpected ways. I loved how it made Sheri and Erik realize the truth of their feelings and that they were ready to try again.
