Five Stars
Mountains Climbed is the second book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This series should be read in order because the books build off each other. The characters are all down to earth and relatable. This book is a continuation of Sarah and James’s story. James has made his choice and Sarah is moving on with Garrett, but will they be able to stay apart?
Phoebe is one of my go to authors, and this series is no different. The story has all the feels, and will take you on an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to read book three.
Once again, Ms. Alexander has me by the heart strings! This is the second book in the Mountains Series and I am absolutely hooked! Sarah is one exceptional lady in my opinion! She is so open and loving and accepting. Everything I try to be but probably fall way short the majority of the time. I love how she deals with her children in an open and honest manor. Something I once again try to do but don’t always succeed at.
In this second book, James has been deployed, leaving Maggie at home, and Sarah has met someone else and is trying her best to move on and heal her broken heart. They can’t seem to forget one another though, no matter how hard they try. As in my review of Mountains Wanted, the first book in this series, I can’t tell you much about what happens in this story. You truly need to read it to experience the full range of emotions these stories take you through.
This series is emotional, touching, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters and their stories. Well, except for Maggie maybe. She’s a bit too closed minded and judgmental for me! LOL! I can’t wait to read the next book in James and Sarah’s story! This author truly knows how to take you along on a journey!

Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in this series. It cannot be read as a standalone since it is the continuation of Sarah and James story. I enjoyed this second book more than the first. I loved how James seemed to embrace things more in this novel. I loved Garrett at first but wanted to slap him later.
I really enjoyed how this story seemed to flow together easily and was filled with a lot of steamy scenes. This book is definitely for 18+ readers. It was an excellent read and I look forward to the next book.
Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Mountains series. You have to read these in order because the story continues from book to book. With an ending like the first book I was ready to dive into this read. The story picks up with Sarah trying to move on while James is deployed. Will the two of them find each other and the timing be right? You have to read this story to find out. I always enjoy a happily ever after but I also enjoy a story with realism. Relationships are not always easy and don’t always work the way we hope. This series has two realistic imperfect, perfect people. I really am looking forward to the third book in this series.

Mountains Series
Book 2
By Phoebe Alexander
All the feels of romance. The struggles are real. This is so worth the read. Remember chocolate may be required. This series is for 18 and older. I would also encourage you to read this series in order. As book 2 is a continuation to book 3.
This is the continued story of James and Sarah. With mountains between them. Lt.James McAllister is deployed. While he is gone, all he can think about is Sarah. He can’t wait to return and see if she is the love he seeks.
Dr. Sarah Lynden has taken another. Garret Stone who is her everything. But… Can he take the place of James? What will happen when James returns?
Phoebe Alexander how could you? She has left me wanting for the rest of James and Sarah’s story. This is a page turner, well written, and easy to pick right back up where you left off. Phoebe Alexander has some amazing characters who will be on your mind as you wait for the next book. I have read quite a few Phoebe Alexander books and have never been disappointed. I’m looking forward to seeing where this story goes. Please bring out the next one soon.

Mountains Climbed is the second book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This book/series is a steamy, wonderfully written, and absorbing contemporary romance. It continues the story started in book one, so as such, I really recommend reading the first book before starting on this one as it has all the backstory, character introductions, and other relevant information- which will give you a much better appreciation of this story.
We met Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister in book one- following them through all the intense, steamy, and emotional developments. James has been deployed to Afghanistan, and Sarah is trying to move on with her life- but neither of them can erase the other from their heart, or mind. What happens here, makes for really engrossing reading.
Loving this story and the wonderful characters sooooo much- and it’s set to continue into book 3- so bring it on!!!
Thank you, Ms. Alexander!
James had told Sarah he wouldn’t choose before his deployment but he did. He chose Maggie. I thought my heart would break in two reading this second book in the trilogy. James thinks he’s sure but as time progresses his mind and heart can’t forget Sarah. Sarah tries to move getting involved with Garrett but that of course turns out to be to good to true. This is a moving story about love, sacrifices and knowing what you want. Not being afraid to stand up for what you want and need too. There are a plethora of exceptional characters in these books and I can’t help but love them all.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book picks up where the first one left off. James chooses Maggie and Sarah mourns the loss and then meets Garrett. She likes Garrett but she cant forget the love she has for James and he finds that he cannot forget her. This book takes the readers on another emotional journey into the lives of Sarah and James as they discover who they are sexually and emotionally and they continue to find out what they want from themselves and eachother.
This is real, and raw, and freaking fabulously terrific and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Bravo!!!
Mountains Climbed (Mountains #2) by Phoebe Alexander. This is the second book in the Mountains Series. We get to see James and Sarah again but under different circumstances. They have both chosen other paths and I was not happy about that. I love James and Sarah together!!! I can not wait to read the rest of this series and see what the future holds for all of the characters!!!
Mountains Climbed (book two of the Mountains trilogy by Phoebe Alexander) was an incredible sequel. I could hardly put the book down. I honestly enjoyed this book in the series more than I enjoyed the first book. I will say this though: if you are in an emotional mood, don’t read this book! This one had me crying throughout the whole thing while also laughing. I can’t wait to read the third installment of the series!
Mountains Climbed is the second book in the Mountains Series and the second book in the continuation of James and Sarah’s story. Phoebe Alexander has a knack for her readers feeling complete and in the know of what is going on in the character’s lives We met James and Sarah in Mountains Wanted. James is deployed and cannot think about anything else or anyone else but Sarah.On the other hand, Sarah has a new man in her life. What will happen when James returns from deployment? Does James want to pick back up where they left off? What will Sarah do now having James home and Garrett the new guy in her life? Can James and Sarah find their way back to one another? This story will continue to Mountain Loves. Stay tuned to see what happens next in their love story.

I’m so irritated. Why do I constantly do this to myself? This author definitely knows how to wrap you in the emotions of her characters. To make you feel how they felt. Through the whole story I was slacked jawed with how much you got to know these characters. By how you learn to understand and live their life. I’m not sure if I could be as brave and amazing as Sarah. She is herself 100% of the time. There is no shyness no timid voice. I loved how she gave 100% of herself and communicated what she needed and wanted. That level of honesty is amazing. It just sucks that she doesn’t get it in return. I know millions of people out there that possibly feel the same. But it truly amazed me that the author made these characters so real. Yeah this one is definitely a must read.
Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2)
by Phoebe Alexander
Wow this book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. After reading the first book there were so many things that I wanted to happen for James and Sarah, and it took me awhile to get over the fact that James got engaged to Maggie. In this book we got to get more about how James is feeling and boy is he going through a lot. My heart goes out to him. Let’s not forget all the feelings that jump off the pages from what Sarah is experiencing. We also get to meet Garrett in this story and that to say the least is very interesting. There is so much more that goes on in this story than what I have mentioned but I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to say this is a must read and I need the next book now!!! I highly recommend this book, I also recommend reading the first book before this one.
Mountains Climbed is the 2nd book in the Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander. This series has 8 books in it. Sarah and James’ story is contained in books 1-3 and the author recommends that these are read in order. The remainder are stand-alones and can be read in any order. I had already read book 1 and was excited to read the next part in Sarah and James’ story.
At the end of book 1 Mountains Wanted, James has been deployed for 9 months and has proposed to his childhood sweetheart Maggie, leaving Sarah devastated. If I thought that book 1 was the most angsty thing I’d read by Alexander then this one was even more so. Added to the angst from Sarah we saw in book 1, now James is even more confused and conflicted. He loves Maggie and wants to marry her, but he realises that he’s also in love with Sarah too.
Trying to get over James, Sarah embarks on a new relationship with Garrett. As much as she enjoys spending time with Garrett, particularly in bed, she just can’t let James go.
This book gripped me just as much as book 1. There is so much emotion on display from both Sarah and James. You really can’t help but be sucked into their relationship. I have to admit to not liking Maggie but ask myself is it just because she’s keeping James away from Sarah? Would I like her otherwise? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. In my mind she’s just not the woman for him.
I really can’t wait to read the 3rd book, Mountains Loved, to find out what Alexander has in store for James and Sarah. I’m sure it’ll be another emotional, angst filled read that will have me captivated as this book has.
We are back in the world of Sarah and it’s not for the faint hearted. The detailed graphic of her love life is not for the faint hearted. James is struggling between the life he chose and a desire he wants what ia James going to do about this situation. Then there’s the play and new people who are playing wild this world has got ne gripped wanting to jump into the book. Garret is a very interesting character and amazingly written he’s so well thought. I also enjoyed how the children relationship with the adults expand with thier ages. Oh James and Sarah the passion these two have.
I can’t believe that I am about to say this but the Mountains series from Phoebe Alexander is quickly becoming my favorite of hers. That is super hard for me to say because I adored her Eastern Shore Swingers series so much it became a regular read in my life.
With the Mountains series we get to see more of the hot and emotional romance that we have come to expect and love from Alexander. I absolutely adore that she takes an unconventional lifestyle and makes it seem so well, conventional. The emotions and the life changes that happen to the characters become extremely deep and embedded in your soul as you read. I walked away from this book feeling as if Sarah was very real and a much loved person I wish I could meet. The supporting characters get more of a voice in this book, especially James and boy do I love that man. So much emotions got brought to the surface and I can’t wait to see what will come next in the third book!
Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Mountains Series. This does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story.
This book is so emotionally charged. With the way things ended in book one I absolutely had to read this book. I was torn with the direction this book was going in because it wasn’t what I was hoping for and yet I have learnt to trust this author implicitly in her writing.
By the end of the first page I was completely drawn into the book and these characters again. It honestly felt like my heart was ripped apart and patched back together so many times while reading this book. There is so much that I could say about this hook but I won’t because I don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone else.
If you haven’t already picked up this series then I would recommend you doing so immediately!!!

Oh Dear Lord this author is trying to kill me! I can not even with her right now!
One thing I wanted more than anything after reading the first of this series was to be able to hear from James and Oh My Word I got that in this part…I can not even imagine his struggle, the back and forth that was twisting his thoughts and emotions therefore twisting mine.
Then Sarah, Oh My Heart! While reading both of these books but especially this one her feelings jumped right off the pages and planted themselves in my heart…
I felt completely exhausted after reading this yet was so so ready to jump into the next one, which for the record I DON’T HAVE YET and I seriously don’t think I will make it through the wait!
All of the characters in this continuing story have completely won me over, and since I know that this is loosely based on a true story it has helped me to transport into and feel like I was present for much of the book. Rachel stands for everything I’ve always wanted in a best friend and I love watching Abby grow up, I raised 4 girls and everything between Abby and Sarah felt so real.
Not going to comment specifically on any parts of this story because this being the second part and being an ongoing story I don’t want to ruin anything from the first. I will though comment on how awesome it was to meet Garrett, again and have the background I so needed while reading his story. I now want to read that one again and will!
I need the next one NOW, my emotions are all over the place and I can feel that that isn’t going to change when I have the next in my hands. So many things are still up in the air and I can not wait to see how they all play out.
Start at the beginning…A total must in my opinion…
I LOVE this author!!
This is the second book in this series and it was just as good as the first! I would recommend reading these books in order because the reading experience is so much better that way! This book was good! Which I have come to expect when I pick up a book by this author I know I’m in for an awesome story. This book was well written and the creativeness and attention to detail was great. Plus the main characters are interesting and the author made me interested in seeing how their stories would play out. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with a few twists and turns and some drama thrown in. I am looking forward to reading more by this author soon and I would recommend this to anyone that likes romance!
Happy Reading!
