Drake loved mountain biking and had a bike specially retrofitted for his massive 6'4" frame. As part of the PGHM rescue team every chance he got he let the stress go as he raced down the mountain. When he saw a silver flick through his vision he managed to stop without careening off the bike to pick up the litter and mumbled about the inconsiderate hikers who couldn't be bothered to hold onto their trash until getting off the trails.
As he is opening his backpack to dispose of the wrapper, he hears a hissing sound and looks up in horror as a cable car crashes to the ground taking out trees as it plunges down the mountain. He looks down at the piece of garbage in his hand that probably saved his life. Drakes is running as fast as he can while calling his team and giving them the coordinates to the crash site. He is just praying that the cable car stops before plunging off the side of the mountain.
Isolde is a psychologist for the Chamonix Police Department and she was called to the crash site to give support to the first responders and looked at the crumbled cable car in horror. No one could have survived that. When told that the first responder was massive with gray eyes she knew who she'd find. Drake...the man who she had had an affair with six years ago.
As she is told that the two men surprisingly survived this crash and were in transit to the hospital she remembers the crash six years ago that didn't have a happy ending. As Drake was trying to extract a young girl from the crash his leg was trapped and he was unable to lift the metal off the girl. He almost lost his leg which he would have done gladly if it would have saved her life.
Then he saw the report that almost ended his career. The report written by Isolde that advised that Drake may need more recovery time after the loss of the girl. So for six years even working in the same building they had managed to avoid each other. Until another cable car incident put them back in contact.
This romantic thriller is action-packed from cover to cover! It is very well written and the storyline will keep you hooked immediately. The characters are fully developed and very relatable. We first meet Drake and Isolde in book one and you get a feel for their sexual tension in book one, but not their history.
Isolde may be a doctor and highly respected within the police department and the small mountain town, but she has self-image issues especially when she is next to Drake who is gorgeous and hard with muscle. I love her compassion, but I'm not sure that I would have been able to do what she did. She has an amazing heart and is definitely in the right profession.
Drake is just wow! This is a man who puts his life on the line on a daily basis saving hikers from accidents and stupidity and takes it to heart if he is unable to extract them to safety and he will definitely put his life on the line to keep Isolde safe.
This book is full of intrigue and danger and the sexual chemistry between Drake and Isolde is through the roof. I highly recommend this book and series and look forward to seeing who next on the team will get a story and the struggles they will encounter to find their HEA. If you haven't read JR Pace, you definitely need to add her to your must read authors!
