A grouchy mountaineer, a Hollywood starlet
And miles of untamed wilderness...
What could possibly go wrong?

...A lot unfortunately. This one just didn't work for me. I read the previous book in this series and didn't click with the writing style. I had hopes that this one would be different, but alas, it was not.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for my ARC.

This series keeps getting cuter and cuter. I feel so much more attached to the characters and Easton is one of my favorites. This book is the perfect thing to curl up with during the winter season. The perfect combination of romance and a dash of comedy.

2.5 stars rounded to 3
One might wonder, “why does she keep reading this series?”
Basically it’s a book I can put on and not pay close attention to, and it’s hard to find free audio romance books so I take what I can get when it comes to audio; which is how I’ve read all three books.
Based on the reviews for all the books, I feel like you either love this series or hate it.
My main problem is they’re so cliche. The second is that they’re all formatted exactly the same. The heroine comes from out of town, they slow-burn fall in love, they break up cause the girl “has to go back home”, then the guy goes after her. The last is that I don’t find the characters like-able.
The one redeeming quality in my opinion is the story lines are fun and different.
This had a cool concept of river making the documentary of moose town and summiting mt vail with Easton as her guide.
Having hiking experience and light mountaineering knowledge, there were so many parts during their climb that had me rolling my eyes in annoyance. River’s selfishness on the mountain really made me dislike her.

Spoiler *I don’t understand the ending because if river could’ve just left LA and moved why didn’t she just tell Easton that so they could’ve worked it out? It felt like there was a conflict just to have one.*

This book has no Christmas element to it.

I fell in love with Sarah Morganthaler and this series . I was able to med the author through a zoom chat and she is the nicest person . This book is the third book in the Moose Springs, Alaska series and it is just as entertaining as the first two.. I loved Easton’s and Fiver’s story and it was great to catch up on the rest of going ins in this fun entertaining delightful series that holds a special place in my heart

4/5 stars

I really enjoyed returning to Moose Springs, Alaska once again and finally being able to read Easton's story. As usual, I loved all the small town feels that Moose Springs adds to the story, from keeping up with all the previous characters stories to the angsty yet funny encounters between locals and out of towners. River and Easton's chemistry was a sweet, slow burn. I knew I was going to love Easton from the snippets I saw in previous stories and the local strong and silent type did not disappoint. River was a new favorite character as well with her go get it attitude that didn't let the world keep her down for long. There were also plenty of laughs along the way and a lot of it came from the hilarious new marmot friend and moose sightings. I really want more of the marmot to pop up if there's another story as well as more moose shenanigans which were very few in this story. I did wish there was a bit more banter in this story, but I still enjoyed River and Easton's chemistry in this light romance. Overall, this one was my favorite in the series next to 'The Tourist Attraction'. Here's hoping the moose sightings and maybe a few marmot ones make it into the rest of this series, because I live for them as much as the romance!

Another strong entry in Sarah Morgenthaler’s Moose Springs series. Strong, resilient characters are set against an action-filled setting of mountain climbing that result in many heart pounding as well as heart warming moments. A great read for outdoor adventurers.

• Marmot
• Mountain Climbing

Oh Mountain Springs, Alaska. How I've missed thee.

Plot: I really loved the setting of this one! I've always wanted to mountain climb like this and it made me so enthralled reading about it. This series is one of my favorite romance series and this one is just as good. I will admit it is my least favorite of the 3 but Easton is my favorite.

Characters: I love Easton! Like I said, he is my favorite of the 3 but I thought he would've been a little more broody. I'm okay with that though because he is fantastic. As for River, she is my least favorite of the 3. I feel she was all over the place. She was all about jokes and teasing and it got pretty old. I didn't like how much she seemed annoyed at the safety of the climb, especially with how much she loves climbing.

Like always, I highly recommend this series with a 4th book on the way! Go read this series!

This e-copy was kindly provided to me by netgalley and the publisher for review. All opinions are my own.

I just love this companion series so much. I really hope the author keeps writing more books. The small town feel, the ruged men, the snow. And the most amazing border collie.

Easton is the gentle giant we all want. I loved how the outdoors played such a big part of this on as they hike to the filming location. I liked how our heroine really could take care of herself (even if she needed help every now and then) and even ended up saving the day at the end.

Don't sit on this fun, easy companion series. Don't miss out on Moose Springs at all.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I couldn't get into this book and it's on my didn't finish list.

I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but I'm definitely invested now. I really enjoyed the banter and the characters in this book. Definitely a series I will continue on in, and an author I'll be keeping my eyes on.

This is Chick-Lit/Romance/Women's Fiction, and this is the 3rd book in the Moose Springs, Alaska series. I have read and review the second book in this series. I really love the second book, and this one I really enjoyed. I did not normally loved books that has mountain climbing in it. The mountain climbing parts where not my favorite, but the characters where the best. I love all the characters and they where fun which made the book worth reading. Being in the town and with these characters is the best, and I cannot wait for the 4th book. I will be reading that book as well. If you love funny chick-lit with fun characters and cute romance this is the book/series for you. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Sourcebooks Casablanca) or author (Sarah Morgenthaler) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

DNF - Did not finish. I decided not to keep reading this title because I did not connect with the writing or plot. Thank you, NetGalley and publisher for the early copy!

I absolutely adored the first two books in the Moose Springs series, so I was very excited to read this next instalment!

At a time when travelling is a far-off possibility, getting to explore the beautiful scenery within the pages made this a perfect armchair escape. It made me yearn to see the beautiful Alaska, the snow and the mountains. I loved finding out more about Easton in this book, his love of mountain climbing and the ascent up Mount Veil made me yearn to travel to Alaska just to climb the gorgeous, yet dangerous mountain myself.

As always, the elements of humour made this a light-hearted read, which I enjoyed. The addition of the marmot who grows attached to Easton was the perfect little addition - "the furball was growing on him. Cuddling up during a storm tended to do that for a guy and his marmot." So cute!

Like the previous instalments, Enjoy the View was really well written. I loved the build-up of tension as they climbed and the scenes where real dangers presented themselves, kept me on edge.

As much as I enjoyed the overall mountain climbing aspect and experiencing Alaska this time through the eyes of Easton, I just wasn't as invested in their romance. I loved the character of Easton appear in the previous books, so I was sure having him as the central love interest in this book would be fun. However, I just wasn't as interested in his romance with River as I was the other couples in the series.

The scene where River films Easton's barn even though he has told her no several times set off some alarm bells for me, unfortunately. As someone who has had relationships with people who disregard set boundaries, this scene really impacted my view of her character.

So apart from the fact that I wasn’t really invested in River and Easton’s romantic relationship, it was a good read. I think River just irked me a little too much, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for my arc in exchange for an honest review.

I fell in love with this series last year and I've been waiting for Easton's story and Sarah Morgenthaler delivered. This book was sweet, heartwarming and honestly just a delight to read.

Was this review helpful?

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series when I read them last year, unfortunately I think I waited too long to read this one. It feels a little too sweet for my tastes right now. I may come back and try again at a later point since I really enjoy the town and characters from this series. DNF for now.

This was a cute read. I accidentally stumbled upon this series and I am so glad that I did. Is it totally Hallmark-ish? Yes!! But so worth-it.

This was another cute addition to the Moose Springs series, one of my new favorite fictional towns after devouring these books! My favorite part of the story: the marmot. 100%. Too cute! This book felt more serious and definitely had more suspense and crisis than the previous books, though the growing attraction and the chemistry between River and Easton was just what I've come to expect from Morgenthaler. I did, however, sometimes struggle with River's decision making as she made clearly dangerous choices for the sake of her film or her own desires, putting others potentially at risk in the process - it came off as selfish and reckless, which would have been ok maybe once or twice, but happened enough times that I got a bit frustrated with her. However, I loved the banter between River and Easton, I loved the beginning of their story and the ending of the book as they learned that they could find a way to be together. And while this book wasn't quite as humorous and cuddly as the others in the series given the high stakes backdrop of the mountain climb, it worked well as a scenario to bring them closer together in a short period of time. In all, I enjoyed this latest Moose Springs read and the always entertaining characters!

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

’ve been loving this series, and I highly recommend them for a light, fun read with great banter and hilarious shenanigans. Women’s fiction, rom-com, low steam. Usually, steam is mandatory for my tastes, but I find I don’t mind with great writing and adventures to be had.
