When Ellie Price's dad disappears, the city girl will do
anything to find him and get him the help he needs, even
hike through the Colorado Rockies. Arriving in Simpson,
Colorado, woefully unprepared for the harsh winter
conditions, Ellie is determined to find a guide who's
willing to take an untrained hiker though the snowie
mountains to the cabin where her dad is hiding. Especially
if that guide turns out to be a non-talking, grunting
mountain man that Ellie can't keep thinking about.
Reclusive loner George Holloway is the best survival expert
on the Search and Rescue team and Ellie's only hope in
finding her dad. Though George isn't interested in taking a
city girl into the mountains, he finds he can't say no to
Ellie. As George and Ellie make their way through the
Rockies, they discover the wilderness and all it's elements
aren't the only dangers they have to be mindful of. Being
stalked by the very person who's after her dad, George and
Ellie are going to have to outsmart a killer if they plan on
coming out of this rescue mission alive.
I am loving Katie Ruggle's debut series and the third book,
GONE TOO DEEP, is just pulling me in deeper. Having grown a
bit weary with the romantic suspense genre, Ruggle has
sucked me back in with her stellar writing and intriguing
plot. There's action, suspense, drama, romance, danger;
everything you could ask for and more. I highly recommend
that you read this series in order because there is an
ongoing murder/arson thread that spans through all the books.
My only real qualm with the story is that I wish there was a
bit more character development and the scene where Ellie is
attacked in her hotel room. Instead of reporting it or
telling anyone about it, she decides to just change rooms
and figures that will take care of things. She even ends up
sharing a dinner table with her attacker and others later on
in the book. I just felt that whole thread with the local
creepy bad guy (a character we've never met before in the
previous books) was forced, put in just to further the story
along.
Having said that, everything else about this series is
amazing. I cannot read these books fast enough. For those
who have read the previous books, the cliffhanger ending in
GONE TOO DEEP will either confirm your suspicions or
completely shock you. I was a bit of both. I had that
thought but was convinced I was wrong. Waiting for the next
book to see what happens is going to be pure torture. Is it
October yet?
In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the
Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off
the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be
murder...
George Holloway has spent his life
alone, exploring the treacherous beauty of the Colorado
Rockies. He's the best survival expert Search and Rescue
has, which makes him the obvious choice to lead Ellie Price
through deadly terrain to find her missing father. There's
just one problem-Ellie's everything George isn't.
She's a city girl, charming, gregarious, delicate,
small. And when she looks up at him with those big,
dark eyes, he swears he would tear the world apart to keep
her safe.
With a killer on the loose, he may have no
choice.
Ellie's determined to find her father no
matter the cost. But as she and her gorgeous mountain of a
guide fight their way through an unforgiving wilderness,
they find themselves in the crosshairs of a dangerous man in
search of revenge. And they are now his prey...
