Review by Booklist Review
Surviving a bridge collapse that killed everyone else, Katie Kramer vows to become more adventurous. She moves to Wishful, a tiny, picturesque town in the Sierras, and finds a job as office manager for the Wilder Adventures expedition company. When Cameron Wilder returns unexpectedly from a long absence spent trying to outrun his demons and discovers her asleep in his bed like Goldilocks, he is captivated by her joie de vivre and unflinching honesty, and he exerts himself to encourage her in her quest while trying not to take unfair advantage of her obvious interest. Shalvis embarks on another of her sexy contemporary romantic trilogies featuring commitmentphobic but adaptable bad boys and the women courageous enough to meet them on their own ground. Her fans will enjoy the antics of the three Wilder brothers and their aunt Annie as well as the up-close look at the world of snow sports.--Welch, Lynne Copyright 2009 Booklist

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
The first in a new series by veteran romance author Shalvis hits the ground running. After Katie Kramer survives a devastating accident, she resolves to "live life balls out" and leaves L.A. for a job with Wilder Adventures in the Sierra Madre mountains. Hunky Cameron Wilder, a champion snowboarder whose career ended with his own devastating accident, appears, and the attraction is instant for both of them. But neither wants a relationship so it's up to the Wilder clan to make them realize that they were meant to be together. What elevates this beyond the standard of the genre is the Wilders, particularly the subplot around Cameron's surrogate mother, Annie, and her husband, Nick. Their relationship problems and love for each other are more authentic than what's found in most romance novels. The Wilder men make great romance heroes while Katie is a great heroine: fearless but vulnerable, bright, charismatic and a great match for Cameron, who is classically reserved and brooding. By focusing on the Wilder family as much as she focuses on the couple, Shalvis thoroughly engages readers as she finds the perfect women for the other Wilder men. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
