Synopsis
A grouchy mountaineer, a Hollywood starlet
And miles of untamed wilderness...
What could possibly go wrong?
Former Hollywood darling River Lane's acting career is tanking fast. Determined to start fresh behind the camera, she agrees to film a documentary about the picturesque small town of Moose Springs, Alaska. The assignment should have been easy, but the quirky locals want nothing to do with River. Well, too bad: River's going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes.
Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.
Easton Lockett may be a gentle giant, but he knows a thing or two about survival. If he can keep everyone in line, he should be able to get River and her crew up and down Mount Veil in one piece. Turns out that's a big if. The wildlife's wilder than usual, the camera crew's determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton's job tougher, but there's only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile. When bad weather strikes, putting everyone at risk, it'll take all of Easton's skill to get them back home safely...and convince River she should stay in his arms for good.

Do you hear what I hear? It's the sound of every streaming service and cable channel releasing the new crop of festive, formulaic, friendly holiday rom-com movies.
I've
talked about this before: I
love holiday rom-coms. I need to watch a grumpy no-nonsense business-type get taken over by the magic of Christmas, I need to watch a very unlikely coincidence play out in the most jingle-bells-jangling manner, I need a love of festive holiday puns to bring two people together under the mistletoe.
