First let me say that I am a very avid reader. I tend to read about 5-6 books on a avg. week. I read all kind of books, written by many different kinds of authors. But this book.... was so easy to read. I read the whole thing in about 5-6 hours tops, but then I'm a fast reader, so it might take you a little longer to read. The characters were all so believable and down to earth. There wasn't any kind of rich prince charming swooping in saving the day, or  action packed scenes along the way. Nor were there even hot steamy sex scenes involved in this book.. It was just a very well written heart-warming story. With that said you wouldn't think this book was very exciting, but I'm here to tell you not to just a book by it's cover.  There is still so much going on in this book to keep you entertained, believe me.Now about the story....Summer Windham had given up on painting a year ago, after she'd been unjustly and harshly criticised  by a couple who had commisioned her to do a painting for them. As hard as she tried, she couldn't seem to satisfy them. That made her question her talent, which in turn caused her to experience a "painter's block". The gallery owner Gwendolyn put those same paintings on display in the gallery and sold them all by the next day, but even that didn't seem to help bring Summer out of her funky mood. Summer used to enjoy painting landscape scenes the most, so her boss figure maybe she just needed a change in scenery to get her painting again.So when artist Summer Windham is offered the chance to vacation at her boss, Gwendolyn's, mountain cabin, she's delighted. There's a catch, however. Gwendolyn wants her to paint a landscape to gift to her husband. Although Summer is experiencing "painter's" block, she agrees to give it a go. On the mountaintop, she meets her boss's ruggedly handsome forest ranger son, and the two immediately clash. He's convinced his mother is playing matchmaker and he simply doesn't have the time to be bothered. Or, does he?The first few days on the mountain Jarrod and Summer clash on so many different levels, but soon they learn to accept one another, especially when Jarrod finally notices that Summer loves the mountains just as much as he does. That doesn't mean she doesn't find herself in a few frightening spots along the way, because she does. But somehow Jarrod or one of the other officer's working that mountain terrain is always around to pull her back to safety.Would I recommend this book? Yes, in deed
