Grad student, Lisa Richardson, scours the high country in search of her beloved boreal toad. The amphibian is in danger of extinction, a fate she is determined to change. Single-minded in her focus, Lisa doesn’t realize that she’s being followed by a mysterious stranger.
Enter McIntyre Walsh. Ex-marine with a heart of gold, this man lives and breathes duty. Protection. Content with his self-exile on a mountaintop in Colorado, he inadvertently witnesses a female hiker in danger, a situation he cannot ignore yet is unable to rectify.

My Thoughts
I was intrigued by the book summary, but not really sure about trying this book because of the cover. I know that sounds somewhat harsh, but I was worried it was going to be eh from my perception of the cover...well..I was wrong..so wrong. I enjoyed this book a great deal.
The characters had depth to them, the relationship(s) were very detailed and I could visualize them, I felt connected to the story and I kept trying to figure out who the killer was I was so invested in this story! I was sure I knew who the killer was, but alas I was so wrong.
I did think parts of the book were a bit odd or left incomplete; such as, the relationship with the professor and her research partner. I was somewhat surprised by some of the internal thoughts at the end of the book regarding the professor as I did not see that at all. However, those parts do not even come close to outweighing the delight I felt from seeing Lisa and Walsh take on the mountains, nature, a killer and their own doubts. I would recommend this book to people who like their romance with a bit of suspense or their suspense stories with a wee bit of romance!
