Summary: (from goodreads) Dana is definitely not the kind of girl to be living in the dump of a wilderness lodge she finds herself waitressing in. But when Craig, the sexy cop who’s handling the murder case where she’s a witness, suggests it—it seems like a good idea. Now she’s got no BMW, no shopping and an assortment of hairy Alaskan men who definitely belong in a run-down old lodge. Her exciting visits from Craig are getting less exciting, and the lodge owner, Jason, is quickly moving from grouchy and judgmental, to funny, smart and unexpectedly complex.

Jason knows exactly the type of girl Dana is—beautiful, spoiled, and high maintenance. She’s everything that hurt him in the past, and why he now lives as far away from city life as he can manage. If he wasn’t so hard-up for help, he would have never said yes to his friend, Craig. Despite his reservations, Dana becomes the perfect antidote to everything in his life—both his disaster of a divorce and precocious little sister who shows up on his doorstep. Jason realizes he’s falling for Dana too late to stop it, or even slow it down.

As the trial approaches, Dana knows it’s time to move on with her life—but is her life back in the city she left or with a guy she never meant to fall for?

I have never read a book by Jolene Perry and I loved this book by her. It was a really great book from the beginning to the end. It never dragged and each page it just kept on getting better and better. I loved the characters in the book especially Dana and Jason. Have you ever met a handsome gorgeous guy and kept telling yourself that you will never fall in love with them because you can't. Well guess what that's what happens to the characters in the story.

Dana is a twenty something girl that drives a BMW, beautiful and very high maintenance. One night she was given directions to a party from a friend. Well she ends up getting lost along the way and she can't use her GPS because there is no service. When she finally sees some vehicles she ends up witnessing a murder and runs into a bank of snow and gets stuck in there until a very sexy married cop rescues her. She ends up falling for him even though he is married. Craig the sexy cop calls his friend Jason that owns a mountain lodge to see if Dana can stay up there and go into hiding because she will be a witness in the murder case.. So Jason can't say no to Craig because Craig is married to Jason's cousin. So when Dana ends up at the Lodge its this little run down dirty lodge that she doesn't picture herself in and doesn't know what she is going to do with her time while she is up there. Jason is in his twenties and going through a divorce because she left him and didn't want to be married anymore. Jason is mad because Dana is sleeping and fooling around with Craig even though he is married. He is kinda nasty and mean to Dana and keeps to himself. Jason loves to write in his spare time and he hasn't told anyone close to him or his family that he likes to write. So Dana sees him leave to go and answer the phone and she steals his files and reads his book. After a while Dana and Jason start having fun together and he starts to have these feelings for her whenever she walks in the door or even when she brushes next to him. But he knows he shouldn't be having these feelings because he isn't even divorced yet. Even if he is divorced its to soon to fall in love. Well after everybody gets together and has some fun partying she ends up telling Jason that she has read his book and sent it to a agent to see if they like it to give him a book deal. Dana realizes when she sees Craig come up to the mountain lodge with his wife and kids that she can't see him anymore and is really sick to her stomach to fall for his crap. The only guy that comes to her rescue to make her feel better is Jason. Dana starts to have feelings for Jason and doesn't know if she should go through with it because she will be leaving right after the trial. I won't tell you the ending because you really need to read this because its an awesome book. I loved the ending and I loved the tension between the characters and how they ended up falling in love with each other. I would read another book by this author if all her characters are like Dana and Jason.
