Saints preserve us, I want Tyler and I want him now! This book in the Gold Mountain series is the best of the series. I'm certain Rebecca has more in store for us, but damn if this one didn't shove me over the edge.

Without rehashing too much of the blurb, Tyler's headed up to the Cascades to work a project for the Forest Service after losing his best friend during a fire. When he arrives in town he stops to have a beer and some food and meets Abbi who's being harassed by an ex who doesn't know the word no.
Tyler knows he should butt out but he can't and when egged on by Mack (book 2 I think) he puts himself between Bubba and Abbi. Abbi and Tyler spend a smoking hot night together which ends abruptly when Abbi finds out why Tyler is there. Abbi runs the Nature Preservation Center and is against making the firebreak and trying to stop it from happening. A promotion for her is riding on this. Tyler is there to oversee the project and run interference and Bubba, well his company is scheduled to do the work. Delays make him none to happy.

Watching Tyler and Abbi do this dance between their jobs and personal lives, much less all this started with a little lie to keep Russell (Bubba) away from Abbi, at times it's like watching a runaway train.
This book was so well written I didn't put it down. Abbi isn't a commitment kind of girl and Tyler's trying to pull himself together knowing his career future rides on this job. So much push and pull.
Tyler never really surmises anything but that's ok because Abbi makes up for it in spades.
When a fire starts in the mountains and Abbi is caught on a ridge line, it makes for such an intense story. I felt my shoes getting hot too.

There aren't enough good things to say about this book. Crafted so well and I loved the characters and a great shift in storylines from the previous Gold Mountain books. I am loving this series. Rebecca has a solid plot and great characters to back it up. Five solid stars from me.
Well done Rebecca!! I loved it.

Ugh, there were times that I just wanted to slap some since into Abbi's head. She wants it all her way or the highway. Tyler seems open to finding a compromise, but at times it seems that Abbi cares more about furthering her career then the owls or a potential fire. I guess it just shows how well this book was written to make me feel this strongly about it. That's why I give it four stars instead of three.
