Three Reasons You Should Read This Sweet Small-Town Romance:
- Saving the Mountain Man was a quick and sweet romance that had just a bit of excitement and fun as well.
- The dogs – oh my gosh – the dogs. That’s all I can say.
- I loved the little check-ins from the last couple that were included for those that have read the series – but it doesn’t take away from this story for those that haven’t.
About Saving the Mountain Man by Sadie Anne and Alana Terry
Title: Saving the Mountain Man
Author: Sadie Anne and Alana Terry

Genre: Sweet, Small-Town Romance
Will she choose between the career move of a lifetime or take a leap of faith into a happily-ever-after?
Eliza
Dogsitting for my sister and brother-in-law, while they were off on their honeymoon, seemed like the perfect opportunity to reflect on God’s plan for my life. It was blissful until the sled dogs escaped their kennels.
Thankfully, a dog-whispering angel in the form of Rollin, one of my brother-in-law’s closest friends, comes to my rescue. We soon get to know each other, and I start to fall—hard and fast.
Rollin’s friendship is like manna from heaven, and his culinary skills aren’t bad, either. But when a once-in-a-lifetime photography contract comes my way, I have to choose between staying in Alaska or leaving my mountain man behind.
Rollin
If a friend needs something, I’ll drop everything to help them out. When I get an unexpected, frantic call from Eliza in the middle of the night, I rush straight to her.
Corraling the pups isn’t a problem, but my feelings for her might be. Her sweet, sensitive personality is a breath of fresh air on this Alaska mountain.
But when my café has an emergency and Eliza has a chance to leave, it looks like our romance might be over before we have a chance to begin.
Can’t she see that God’s plan for us is bigger than what the world has to offer?
My review of Saving the Mountain Man:
Saving the Mountain Man is a really sweet short-story romance. It opens with a bang and some sled-dog magic that start Eliza and Rollin on their way to a happily ever after. There were a few things at the beginnin I found a little perplexing – such as why ask someone who is afraid of dogs to watch over a pack of energetic sled dogs – but I just rolled with it.
Once again, the Alaskan scenery is really brought to life, and I love how much of it was fit into a short story so that as a reader I could really see and feel the places around them. I would have liked to see some of that storytelling magic brought over to the characters and their story a little bit more.
At times the story was rushed (even for a short), and the couple seemed to be shoved together with little lead-up or courting (I’ve always liked the courting and getting to know you stage). There’s just enough of a mention of the previous book’s couple to catch up with them really quick which I always enjoy as well.
