Call of the Mountain
Brett's notions made Lisa furious
She'd been sent by her publisher employer to Lynton to edit Catherine Arlington's book. Why should Catherine's stepson, Brett, imagine some other reason?
His first ridiculous accusation -- that she'd come to renew an old relationship with the owner of the next farm -- took time to dispel. It was followed by the equally ridiculous one that Catherine was matchmaking.
Lisa tried to concentrate on finishing her job and leaving. Only she didn't really want to leave -- and somehow Brett's opinion of her had become important.

The h goes to edit the H's mother's book. They fall in love, but there are barriers created by the OM, to whom she was formerly engaged. The H has to work HARD to see the OM as a threat -- the h clearly despises him, but somehow the H thinks that she's still in love with her ex-fiance. The H is so stupid about this, and about his fears about his mother's matchmaking, that he is quite tiresome.

Dnf. Not my cup of tea. Heroine seems like an idiot. Hero doesn’t come off with much authority or presence. First impression wasn’t grand, and story pace didn’t really make sense.
Instantly, it was all about Paul the moment the heroine lay eyes on him. Leaving the hero and everyone else in the background, as she openly play catch up with the OM, aka her ex-fiancée, for a hot minute. Heroine can claim all she wants that she’s over Paul but I’m not believing her one bit. Her thoughts, dialogues and actions are what makes me believe she’s not as smart or through with Paul as she thinks. She appears wanting to hide her past relationship from everyone, but at the same time she would constantly bring up Paul into conversations and make open digs and suggestive statements about him in the presence of everyone—— as if she’s still harboring a great hurt from the very man.
Then, the hero would ask her for the tenth time what’s her relationship with Paul, and she says “we just know each other.” She’s so not over Paul.
