Book Blurb
The more you trust, the more you risk…
When plans for a wilderness retreat with her teenage daughter Brooke go awry, Abby Hammond reluctantly pairs up with Brooke's stepbrother and his dad, Nathan Strom, for the weeklong trek. The only thing Abby has in common with the bad-boy former pro athlete is that their exes cheated with each other. That…and a visceral attraction that's growing more complicated with every step through the picturesque woods.
Nathan's wild-card reputation lost him his career and his family. After years of regret, he's ready to fight for what truly matters—and that includes Abby's hard-won trust. When Brooke goes missing, Nathan knows he's her best and only hope of rescue. But the deeper into the rugged mountains they go, the more dangerous the territory will prove—for their safety and for their hearts.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
After Ella, Abby and Brooke survived their last vacation where Abby’s ex backed out on, Abby decided to accompany Brooke on this hiking trip. Brooke’s dad always seems to back out at the last minute and Abby doesn’t want Brooke hiking by herself.
When they arrive at the cabin, Abby meets Ray’s stepson Leo. Brooke is excited to see him and jumps on his motorcycle for a ride the minute she gets there. Abby is uncomfortable being a fifth wheel but she wants Brooke to be safe.
She is surprised when a strange man knocks on the door of the cabin. Nathan Strom is Leo’s father and Lydia’s ex-husband. He is joining the hiking trip to work on his relationship with Leo. He also informs Abby that Ray and Lydia have to cancel yet again.
Leo is furious to find his father there when he gets back from his ride and Brooke is hurt when she finds hers isn’t coming at all. Abby is determined to make Brooke happy and wants the trip to be good for her. So she agrees to hike where Brooke wants.
The trip turns crazy when Nathan and Abby have an instant attraction. Then they meet some creepy hunters on their hike to the lake. When Brooke disappears, Abby is beside herself with panic. She, Nathan and Leo race against time to find and save her.
I read another one in this series and found I loved the characters. This book continues the story focusing on Abby this time. Ella and Paul make appearances in this book so the reader can keep the group together. This story was creepy. The group of hikers is being stalked as they make their way on the trail. Abby had a reason to be leery.
The chemistry between Abby and Nathan was fun to read as they fought their attraction. The complications it would cause held them back for awhile. I liked how Nathan instantly saw how special Abby was. You go girl!
The relationship between Leo and Brooke is also complicated. Leo fights his attraction, but Brooke loves flirting with him. As you read, you know something will eventually happen between them. I am getting into the series and I hope the author keeps it going. I give it a 4 out 5.
