High Mountain Terror (Mills & Boon Heroes)

Mills and boon heroes books easy to read and enjoy

This wasa quick one. Very exciting. I totally binged this one. This is my second book from this author. The author is good at being, exciting, sexy, and giving me characters I can care about.

High Mountain Terror is the newest stand-alone adventure/romantic suspense novel by Janice Kay Johnson.Nature photographer Ava Brevick is on assignment in the Cascade Mountains in northern Washington, alone because it’s the off-season and the park is closed to visitors. She’s afraid when she realizes that a man is behind her on a trail and getting closer. When she spots a group of men overhead on a ridge, she takes their pictures, not realizing that they are a terrorist group who snuck over the Canadian border.Zach Reeves is a Whatcom County, Washington Sheriff’s Department detective, taking an off-season vacation as he adjusts to civilian life after serving 10 years in the military. His best friend, Reid, is a Border Patrol Agent and dropped him into the Cascade Mountains via helicopter on the condition that Zach be on the lookout for a group of Russian terrorists who were trying to enter the United States. Zach sees when the group of men on the ridge notice him and the lone woman hiker and then launch a grenade, starting an avalanche.Ava is able to reach safety away from the avalanche flow, but she goes back and rescues Zach, who is trapped under the snow. They begin a friendship as they work together to avoid the terrorists and reach a spot where they can get a cellphone signal to alert authorities. Both Ava and Zach are injured and have limited supplies since Zach’s backpack was lost in the avalanche.High Mountain Terror is another outdoor adventure/survival story similar to others that Janice Kay Johnson has written in the recent past for the Harlequin Intrigue line. Johnson consistently writes stories with strong male and female characters with the most authentic dialogue, but this story excels with the fast-paced plot and the female character’s ability to adapt and face challenges. In the author’s earliest books for the Harlequin Intrigue line, I criticized that the endings seemed rushed. High Mountain Terror has a nice denouement from the climactic scene and a very well-written longer conclusion.I purchased this book from Amazon, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The heroine is a star and the hero deserves her! Exciting plot — implausible but believable. Skillfully written and super fun to read. The best JKJ books have intriguing plots and likable characters who discover and overcome something in themselves that’s been keeping them from happiness. Her best books become good friends I want to visit again and again. Have already reread this more than once.

This is one of her better books. Couldn't put it down. It's very real, and authentic. It will have a place on my bookshelf.
