I have to admit that when I first started reading this story, the first few chapters were so slow going that I almost gave up. But...I don't quit that easily. I kept on reading and BOY.... I'm so glad I did!When you throw two people from two completely different worlds together you never know what might happen. Tina comes from the big city of Atlanta, where she can come and go as she pleases, where restaurant & take-out service is only a phone call away. Hank is a writer who craves solitude lives in his parents cabin in the Smokey Mountains. He's trying to finish his book  before his deadline is due. He's also trying to heal a broken heart after his now ex-wife decided to run off with another man. When those two people are trapped together in a mountainside rustic cabin during really bad snow storm, the differences in their personalities suddenly collide. And not in a good way, either.All the characters in this story were so much fun to read, from Hank to Tina, Sam the somewhat annoying, but also very smart golden retriever, and yes....even the escaped convicts were a hoot and a half at times. Oh...and I almost forgot about the mare and it's brand new foal they had to deliver, during a major crisis they were already trying to deal with..This story has it all...lots of laughter, a little mystery & suspense, and even a few tender moments were thrown in there too. The only thing I felt was lacking is a short epilogue at the end. I would have loved to find out how Tina and Hank  dealt with their new charge, Evan. And whether Evan's father, Tom ever got the appeal he'd been trying to get in order to prove his innocence.Would I recommend this book? Yes, most definitely I would.
