Tempting Fate (Colorado High Country #4)
by Pamela Clare
Blurb:
A
woman with no roots…
Naomi
fled the cult-like nightmare of her childhood and learned to rely on one
person—herself. Her resourcefulness keeps her alive during a catastrophe in the
mountains, but it’s no help at all when it comes to Chaska Belcourt, the sexy
EMT who saves her life. Raised to feel shame about her body and sex, she is
putty in Chaska’s hands as he strips away her armor, exposing the vulnerable
woman beneath, awakening desires in her that she’d been taught to ignore.
A
kiss that changes everything…
Chaska
Belcourt grew up on the reservation, the son of a hereditary Sun Dance chief.
He left all of that behind for a new life in Colorado as an engineer with an
aerospace firm and a member of the elite Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue
Team. He doesn’t share his sister’s belief that fate led him to find Naomi. But
from the first moment their lips touch, he can’t get enough of her.
A
love that transforms…
As
the passion between them turns into something more, Chaska is forced to admit
that his sister is right. There’s no other way to explain the depth of his
feelings for Naomi—or the fact that he and his people might hold the key to
unraveling the mysteries of her past. But she will have to learn to trust again
before the two of them can find the answers she needs—and claim this
once-in-a-lifetime love.

Review:
Pamela Clare strikes again and reminds me why I
love her writing so much. When she began
this new series about the sexy group of individuals dedicating their lives to
rescuing those in need, while enjoying the rugged and adrenaline packed
lifestyles of rock climbers, I was skeptical that she would make me love
it. Honestly I have a crazy fear of
heights and would never go anywhere near a rock climbing gym much less actually
climbing those freaking deadly mountains, but she has made me a believer once
again. I LOVE this series. This fourth installment also hit close to
home because I have always wanted a chance to learn more about my native American
heritage, but with such a physical and emotional distance for me, I just have to
enjoy that adventure through stories and author’s like Pamela, so obviously
devoted to authenticity and research, remind me why I fight so hard to make
people understand the greatness of this genre. Chaska and Naomi meet under
interesting circumstances, but the connection between them is instant and deep,
leaving them both floundering a bit at the intensity. Soon though there is no denying that they are
made for one another. I loved seeing
Chaska fall in love with Naomi, sacrificing for her happiness, while always
keeping in mind his duty to his team and his people. He is the perfect hero and I would love to
have a chance to meet a man just like him… Hmmm maybe it’s time for a trip to
Colorado, even though I am so not climbing anything… but I digress. Naomi was the perfect match for Chaska. While she has had a pretty shitty past, she
maintains her fighting spirit, determined to make her own way in the world, but
when she meets Chaska and his sister the draw is irresistible. Once he finds a way to not only steal her
heart but discover the truth of her heritage and give her back her true family,
I thought for sure she would destroy him, but the love she has is just too big
to leave him wanting. Pamela as always
finds a way to bring two people, that might never have found one another, together under amazing conditions, twining their pasts together and giving them
a chance at a future that will give them true happiness and fulfillment. There is also the outstanding level of heat
and passion between Chaska and Naomi that is a trademark of any Clare novel,
but in my opinion this story went even higher with the connection between the
H/h. I am dying for the next story in
this amazing series and am definitely spreading the word that this series is
one of the best romances out there and that if you’re not reading them then you’re not truly a Romance Junkie!
