You know what Christine Lindsay did in Heavenly Haven? She penned a novella reflecting the real-life kind of misunderstandings married couples have, and how simple hurt feelings can so easily lead to over-reactions, which in the case of her characters Shaina and Jack Burke snowball (literally) into a life threatening situation.Ms. Lindsay's research is always impeccable. Whether she's writing about British soldiers in WWII India or a modern day, avalanche rescue team, her story-telling is authentic. In this case, where a young woman and her small children are trapped in an avalanche, she not only made me believe in the science and procedure of avalanche prevention and rescue, but talk about tension! This story made me very nervous. In a quick read, the author managed to ratchet the tension tight, while at the same time building a cozy romance.I recommend Heavenly Haven to anyone wanting to read realistic romance, a compelling plot, and authentic, high-tension drama.
