But as he begins to catch glimpses of her soul, she becomes his Everest.

This is the third book in the True North series, each book is different and I have enjoyed every book in the series to date. Kate and Sam's story was an eventful journey and it was interesting to see Sam the Playboy settle down.
Kate had some personal Demons to overcome and with the help of Sam she was able to do so. She likes to keep her routine as simple as possible and doesn't really like to change it. Taking this new job and moving so far from her parents is a huge step for her. When Sam comes into the picture, he constantly tries to get her to open up, but she tries to keep him out. But soon it was sweet to see them develop a friendship to help Kate with her demons.
Through the start of the book, it was funny to see Sam and his thoughts on relationships. He didn't think he'd ever get tied to a girl, so it was amusing to see Kate sweep him away. I loved seeing the passionate side to Sam; he loves his music, his fast cars and wants to succeed in college. He is a sweet guy, who would be a great catch. Seeing him with Kate and how he slowly helped her with her fears would have any girl swooning.
I thought this was a beautiful story and a few times it bought tears to my eyes. Kates story was heartbreaking and all the clues dropped throughout the story still didn't soften the blow when the full picture was revealed. I love the emotion the author put into the story and even know there are fun times there were difficult times too. When Sam and Kate's relationship went to that next level, it was passionate and beautiful. I look forward to more books in this series and I hope you try them too.
