Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off… ![]() ![]() Contemporary romances often stumble over the first hurdle: Their dramatic obstacle. This romantic drama is most compelling as a mild story of survival adventure. But it's not exactly a nail-biter, and the characters - who exhibit courage and perseverance - never really show any realistic effects of weeks of deprivation, making it a fairly "safe" experience, as survival stories go. ![]() The primary concern for younger viewers will be tension/worry over whether the main characters (including the dog) can survive. A sensual sex scene includes kissing, moaning, and near-nudity, and a shirtless man is shown more than once. ( Spoiler alert!) Post-plane-crash injuries are shown, there's some danger to a dog, and one character's leg is caught in a bear trap. Expect scenes of mountain trek peril, but there's no graphic violence. Parents need to know that The Mountain Between Us, based on Charles Martin's novel of the same name, tells the story of two strangers ( Idris Elba and Kate Winslet) stuck in the snowy wilderness after a tragic plane crash. ![]() One instance of "f-ing" used in frustration, plus "s-t," "damn," "hell," and "Jesus Christ" as an exclamation.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?

But to my amazement, it also contains one of the hottest love scenes ever written, not because of any graphic sex, but because of the chemistry and tenderness of the two characters. It's funny, sexy, and completely engaging. Cat is my favorite heroine since Scarlet O'hara! This book is so different from any other "vampire" or paranormal book I've ever read. Bones is surprisingly funny and charming but very different from the smoldering alpha males in every other romance novel I've read. I'm addicted and in love with these characters. After listening to a heavy depressing book, I needed a break and put this on. I was judgmental of the cover and the silly name, and it just sat in my audible library for months. After dabbling in a few JD Ward books, "The Night Huntress" series was recommended to me and I downloaded this book. ![]() ![]() Somehow, I stumbled into the paranormal/time travel genre with Karen 's Fever series, and then finally read Outlander.
