Moose Springs, Alaska – Present Day

 

Because actress River Lane needs a career boost, she agrees to help film a tourist documentary film in Moose Springs, Alaska, a picturesque town at the foothills of Mount Veil. The locals are quirky and not always friendly to her. One day while filming, River runs into surly local mountain guide Easton Lockett. He literally is rolling his eyes at her but tolerates her sassiness anyway. Easton is a burly guy who resembles a big teddy bear with his bushy beard. As part of the documentary, River plans to scale Mount Veil. Easton warns her that it just isn’t “any” mountain, but one that requires endurance and experience. She convinces him that her crew will be able to do it and hires him. A little pissed that the trip will require that he be around the annoying River, he nonetheless agrees.

 

Once River and Easton, along with their crew of his assistant mountain guide and her two fellow filmmakers, start the ascent of Mount Evil, the trip brings them together over the next few days. The higher they climb, the harder it becomes. Early on, the group encounters a marmot, which implicitly attaches itself to Easton. It is like the marmot has a crush on him, even to go so far as sleep with him in his tent. Easton is both piqued and amused by the animal’s behavior. As Easton and River’s relationship—which has bordered on a love-hate one—turns into attraction, the marmot grows jealous of River. Yes, ENJOY THE VIEW has its light-hearted moments, but it soon turns into suspense as they grow closer to the top of the mountain. Danger will be lurking.

 

ENJOY THE VIEW features the love-hate relationship between Easton and River. She has had past success as a popular actress, but as her fame waned, it’s time to redirect it somewhere else. Producing and filming a documentary as they’re climbing to the top of Mount View is exhilarating for River and her crew. For Easton, he puts up with them, mainly because the documentary is authorized by the Alaska Tourism Board and it will help bring more tourists to Moose Springs, a town that badly needs them. River might be a bit annoying, but she’s a beautiful annoyance.

 

The third book in the Moose Springs, Alaska series by Sarah Morgenthaler, ENJOY THE VIEW will tickle your fancy and give a thrill as you hang—literally—on the side of the mountain with River and Easton. Their love builds slowly, as it starts out argumentative, soon builds into respect and friendship, and then love. But despite how they feel about each other, their lives are not destined to be together. Easton’s life is in Moose Springs, while River will be moving on after the filming is done. Is there hope for a happily-ever-after? Find out the answer in the fun and intriguing ENJOY THE VIEW.
