rock and a hard place by andrea bramhall

The climbing scenes were interesting and exciting. I do have to admit, I wish there was more ice climbing. I really got sucked into the storyline and was enjoying the read. Mix that in with climbing and a romance, this book was checking off plenty of my likes. One of my guilty pleasures is watching the occasional reality show. Can the two of them work together to make the show a success? And what happens if feeling get involved? Rhian is paired with expert climber Jayden, who is dealing with her own issues. When the chance to produce a reality show about climbers in Patagonia comes by, Rhian jumps at the chance.

The story is about Rhian, who is a marketing executive constantly trying to prove to her boss and stepmother how good she is at her job. I’m glad to say this was another good book by Bramhall. Maybe it’s the danger and excitement, whatever it is mountain climbing books appeal to me. Maybe it’s because very few people ever conquer these mountains. Everest, K2, fiction and non-fiction, I have enjoyed them all. I have always been fascinated by mountain climbing books. Pitch-perfect clever dialogue,lots of humor,angst add to readers enjoyment to the very end.recommend to everyone A setting that's also fascinating,thrill-seeking,adventurous and dangerous at times with completely believable characters who were in turn sometimes annoying and absorbing with strong personalities. The dreamy writing verges on steam of consciousness as characters' thoughts spring up and disappear under new ones quickly as they panic or try to puzzle out what is happening as well with its unique plot. Despite an occasional wandering and unfocused bit of narrative here and there,it is well-written,very descriptive and extraordinarily insightful. Been a huge fan of this author since i read her first book(Clean Slate) so when i started off with this book why was the storyline so difficult and impossible to connect with,maybe because of the sad/prologue and the slow start but eventually it picked up and turned into a remarkable story about grief,friendship,family,love,redemption,rediscovery,realism,ownership and self analysis. In no way is this book an easy read it is moody and often lovely but exhausting to follow at times. 'Ylva-Publishing ARC received in exchanged for a fair and honest review'
