The Cabin
Oliver hated women. No, that wasn't fair. He hated one woman, the one who he gave everything to and she betrayed him in his own bed with someone else. Julie was weary around men, especially since her long-term boyfriend left her for another woman and left her stranded with no where to go. When their friends make themselves comfortable in Oliver's grandfather's cabin at Lake Reed, a remote yet prosperous hidden lake in the valley, Oliver and Julie try their best to make the most of it when they are pushed together from the start of the trip. Between Oliver's rough around edges demeanor and Julie's sweet and innocent naive nature, feelings start to fly and no matter how hard they try.....they can't escape each other at The Cabin.

Reading The Cabin reminded me of reading Grace Falls. The general impression was very similar -- a nice enough story with a nice bunch of characters, but in serious need of a good editor. I have read a lot of free online fiction in better condition than The Cabin. C. Mack definitely has potential, but I hope that she will find a professional editor before publishing again. Being an indie author is not an excuse not to hire an editor, cover designer or ebook formatter.
No hard feelings, C. Mack. :)

Sorry but I didn't like this book very much. I found it very simple and predictable.

Ugh....I don't usually mind editing issues. However, this book drove me crazy. The slang/lingo was inconsistent. Tons of grammar and/or left out words from sentences. This got worse as the book went along. Toward the end the names were so intermixed I sometimes had to reread passages because I couldn't tell who was speaking. I rarely complain about these things... But this was really bad and really distracting from the story.
The story itself was ok.... Maybe I've just read too many "I'm thirty something with no idea I'm attracted to women" stories lately....but it just didn't do it for me.

Don’t judge this book by its cover, there is way more to it. It is a wonderful story with lovable characters and lots of fun and action. Highly recommended!

Ohhhhh... bloody enjoyed this one. But who doesn't love a cabin in the mountains story?
Although, would have been a 5* if it had been a little bit longer.. but maybe there's room for a sequel.
Noted a bit of Yorkshire slang in the work too... which was nice to see.

Slow start but soon was in their world and enjoyed it. The story moved along well and I'll look out for more by her - lost a star on the outrageous brick wall ending!

What a fun and light read! I wanted more though, like what happens after. Anyway, at first I had to get used to the author's style and pace but then, and i don't remember which part exactly, i forgot about my little pet peeves and was transported to Rachel and Jem's world. I want more of it.
Did Not Finish
April 7, 2017Oh my gawd. The current Kindle Unlimited cover has got to be the ugliest book cover I've seen in a long time. They should've stayed with the green branches cover, which isn't bad. The current is the worst.

Wasn't sure....
to start with but after the first chapter I was hooked. I think the mountains were the winner for me. Only kidding, the story is very well written and it wasn't about an absorbed prima Donna but of two normal people falling in love through Friendship. Although one is famous. I really enjoyed the characters especially Lucy. Drunk and naked made me laugh really hard. Read it will make sense. Enjoy I did.

Amazing story
Very interesting plot found it highly mesmerizing. I loved Jem and Rachel and the way you worked their growing infatuation with each other. The ending was fantastic and hopefully left room for more stories from you.

Great
Another love story with some SVU. Good reading with some pace, at times confusing but readable. Many editing errors, but not enough to make the story bad. Keep you guessing until the end.

Short & sweet
Slightly predictable storyline in places, but engaging non-the-less. Would have given 5 stars if not for the few obvious typos and quite abrupt ending. Would benefit a sequel.

Not bad for a first book. Some areas can be improved but I think I'm going enjoy more from this writer .

Great.
I really enjoyed The Cabin. The setting sounded wonderful. It is very hard to be a celebrity and have a private life.

Who said you can't aim for the stars?
This is down to earth story with a bit of twist and drama. Both characters are very much down to earth with legitimate issues and awesome way of solving daily problems.

I thought it to have more depth as it began quite nicely. Don't get me wrong, this was an easy, nice read, but I expected more depth. To easy, too simple and too predictable to rate it higher than 3 stars.

LOL All I excitedly saw in that blurb was cabin/snowstorm/British!! Usually these are winners for me.
What I didn't see (and having reread the blurb, still can't see) was FF!
So I started reading and was at 17% before I clicked - duh!
...Oh well, another cherry well and truly popped!!

Beautiful...
A truly beautiful story. It just swept me away. I was tired from a long work week, but just had to finish tonight. A well recommended read.
