Love and Danger

On the eve of a country music festival, three people meet in the West Virginia mountains: Angela, a singer with a wounded voice; B.L., a delusional ex-con on a dangerous quest to prove himself; and Rudy, who's chasing an old dream.

If Angela sings—even speaks—she could ruin her voice for good, but she faces another threat: falling hard for Rudy, her first love, the man she abandoned to follow her career.

Over the next few days the three will meet again in Winkler, the small town where the Ridgetop festival takes place.

All three will be forever changed. All three will run for their lives.

I've been lucky. Years ago, I wanted to live on a farm, and my husband said "Let's do it." When personal computers were introduced, I wanted to know about them and own one, and lucky me, the school where I taught offered a course in Basic. When we bought our first computer, I discovered the writer's best friend--word processing. Before that, I could not write without crossing out most of a typewritten or handwritten page, and progress seemed impossible. When I wanted to shift from teaching to writing, the first Macintosh computers came out, and I was lucky enough to have, along with technical and business writing, the first "desktop publishing" service in my area. And when finally I had the leisure to give a lot of time to a novel, my husband didn't merely tolerate my commitment, he encouraged it.

Inspiration for the Mountain Women series came first from the mountain wilderness, both beautiful and challenging for those who live there. I appreciated accounts of early 20th century life and industry, the forerunners of today's technology and culture. When I read Roy B. Clarkson's non-fiction account of lumbering in West Virginia, (Tumult on the Mountain, 1964, McClain Printing Co., Parsons, WV), with more than 250 photos of giant trees, loggers, sawmills, trains, and towns, I found the setting for the first book in the series. Finally, I was inspired by men and women of previous generations who faced difficulties unknown today. Researching and writing these novels, I have felt closer to the lives of grandparents I never knew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best suspense book I've read in a long time!
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
Oh my gosh, this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I don't often give books five stars, but this one earned it. The author carefully weaves the story, letting out threads to entice the reader on to the climax. I kept waiting for the worst possible scenarios. The characters are well developed and evolve as the story progresses. I loved that it was suspenseful without graphic violence and sex. The moods of the place and characters are clear without slowing the story down with too much description. I hope to read more books by this author. Awesome!

4.0 out of 5 stars Connection to a Great Historical Series
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019
Verified Purchase
I love the Mountain Girl series. Although I have never been to West Virginia, I recognized the similarity to my family in North Louisiana and Arkansas. I really liked the visit to present day Winkler, but felt it went from intense suspense with shooter to conclusion without wrapping up some loose ends. I would love to see more of these types of books that draw a direct connection from the present to the characters I love from the 20's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but slow at times
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2015

I enjoyed most of this book, but it did drag a bit, and there was some unnecessary sections. Not to give away part of the story, but a key character tells about being raped. It added absolutely nothing to the story, and had no bearing on the plot at all. It was something that happened a long time ago, and I wondered, why? It just made me depressed, and definitely took away from my enjoyment of the story.

Carol Ervin delivers this romantic tale in precise and descriptive language. A young girl’s life as a performer versus the love she left behind. Will she stay or will she go?

It kept me going and was a good read. At times though I wasn’t quite sure who was who, and had to try to unscramble the players!

Very entertaining and I learned about the people in that time period and that part of the country. Made me appreciative of the people who came before us. Their life was not easy, but they persevered to make a better life for themselves.

2.0 out of 5 stars Anticlimactic
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016
I read the Mountain Woman series and liked it, so went on to this one since it was from the author and was set in the same town. The main problem I have with this book is that one person is stalking the main players in the book, then it has a very anticlimactic ending of that issue. It seems like she just got tired of writing about him, so he was "outta there", so to speak. The book was pretty disappointing to me
