I loved writing this book so much. It's happy. It's heavy. You think one thing is happening and then something else happens taking you on a new, twisty journey altogether.

Everest is now officially on my list of favorite book boyfriends. He's such a good guy. Yeah, he's rich, but that part of him isn't what makes me (or Singer) love him anymore.

He sees her in a crowded room, followed her outside and comes just a moment from kissing him when someone grabs him away and changes the course of his life. For one year his life is turned upside down. What if he would have kissed her, his life would be so different.

Singer, the girl next door who has no idea she lights ...more

Ethan Everest…his name alone seems to resonate strength and control and despite the ordeal he must endure for trusting the wrong people, he is a commanding presence in the business world, keeping everything close to the vest and fighting back against his enemies who were once friends. But as proactive as Everest is when it comes to his professional life, his personal life is a mess, so his hot and cold demeanor when it comes to Singer Davis makes sense, but it also frustrated the heck out of me Ethan Everest…his name alone seems to resonate strength and control and despite the ordeal he must endure for trusting the wrong people, he is a commanding presence in the business world, keeping everything close to the vest and fighting back against his enemies who were once friends. But as proactive as Everest is when it comes to his professional life, his personal life is a mess, so his hot and cold demeanor when it comes to Singer Davis makes sense, but it also frustrated the heck out of me because his mixed signals could cost him a second chance with the woman who should have been his first choice.

I have to admit that I was a bit flustered by the first half of the book. I didn’t understand why Ethan made the decisions he did because based on his internal musings and even his dialogue with his friend, Singer was the woman he was drawn to…the one he imagined being with…the one he felt an instant connection to, so for him to not follow through when he had the opportunity to do so and then left and started a relationship with someone else despite his chemistry with Singer didn’t mesh well with his words. And, I didn’t feel like readers were truly given the reasons behind his choices because when Ethan and Singer reconnect, the drama in his life isn’t discussed for quite some time and there’s no indication as to why he walked away from Singer and never really looked back until he couldn’t give her anything more but friendship.

Singer Davis is a sweetheart of a girl, but she wears her heart on her sleeve and loves with every part of herself, which leaves her vulnerable, at times, especially when it comes to her feelings for Ethan. She felt their connection that very first encounter and even after a year apart, she still finds her heart beats faster when he’s around. The pseudo relationship that she and Ethan form is difficult for her to accept or to even understand, but her faith in what she feels for Ethan and what she believes he feels for her allows her to ride the confusion and wait for Ethan to let her in, in a way that he’ll never want her to leave.

The suspense aspect of the story doesn’t emerge until about 60% into the book and the way it plays out rattles both Ethan and Singer and forces them to face a cruel world that sometimes let’s the bad guys win even when the good guys try their best to prevent it.

Ethan and Singer’s journey is not an easy one; it’s filled with missed opportunities, life-changing moments, and a bevy of emotions that will either tear them apart or solidify a bond that started by simply seeing one another across a room. Ethan’s life is not ordinary, which means that being a part of it comes with a multitude of issues and readers witness both Ethan and Singer work through everything with determination, love, and trust, but getting to that point was not all hearts and flowers and that’s the reality of their love story that S.L. Scott presents to her readers.

I found Ms. Scott's writing through the Kingwood's series and I've been hooked since then. Everest is such a great story of second chance (even though there wasn't really a first chance) at love.

Singer Davis and Ethan Everest met at a party about a year ago. There was an instant attraction but nothing happened between the 2 of them. After that party, they would see each other at other social functions but nothing else.

Finally Ethan makes the move and asks Singer to watch a baseball game with h ...more

I loved Everest by S.L. Scott. It was a second chance romance of sorts with compelling characters and a story that drew me in from the outset.

This is a very well written love story about two people who are drawn to each other, but circumstances stand in their way of true happiness. Ethan is one of the good guys, a romantic at heart that will protect what is his. Singer is a woman who loves with her whole being, putting others in front of her own needs, never realising her own beauty and goodness ...more

It took me a little while to get into this one because it starts slow, but once it got going I was all in. Absolutely loved Singer and Ethan's chemistry together.

Singer won me over from the get go because she is not just an amazing character, but truly beautiful inside and out.

Ethan will charm the pants off you, but his indecisiveness made me crazy at times. Then you get his full story and it just makes you fall even harder for this guy.

This story has all the feels in it and will win your hear ...more

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT A LARGE BOX OF TISSUE NEAR BY!!!!

I have never, in my life, read a book that made me cry like this one did. The emotions were so raw and expressed so eloquently and heart-wrenchingly. Suzie's writing always gorgeous, but this one hit me in the feels so hard I had to stop reading several times, just long enough to blow my nose and wipe the tears from my eyes. ...more

Loved this story! I enjoyed getting to know Singer and Ethan. Their story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I got emotionally involved with their lives, to the point my kindle ran out of battery and I freaked out. Had to recharge asap! The obstacles they face are intense and scary at times. Loved this book, SL Scott pulled me in and didn't disappoint. Look forward to reading what's next. ...more

Loved it!

I love it when a book surprises me in a good way. I've been searching for a book that would give me the feeling Everest did, but at the time I couldn't have even told you exactly what I was looking for. Everest hit the spot! ...more
