Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3)
By Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) by Phoebe Alexander. It is the third book in the story of James and Sarah. These two have chemistry and a strong love for each other. They also still have some mountains that they must climb. Situations with family and if they will have an open relationship are complications that they must face. What does the future hold for James and Sarah? Will they be torn apart? Will their relationship crumble or will they overcome the mountains that are before them? Read this book to find out. James and Sarah are wonderful characters and this story only makes me love them even more. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are heartbreaking moments when I had misty eyes and heartwarming moments that are amazing to read about. There are characters from the first two stories brought forward and I enjoyed reading about how their lives are progressing and also how they interact with Sarah and James. This is a book that I found myself thinking about even after I had read the final page. This is a story that deals with trust, past experiences, and grief. It is a book that you don’t want to miss out on. This is a series that is best read in order for a full understanding of what is happening. Highly recommend reading.
This continues where the last one left off. Still plenty of drama and situations between Sarah and James, still emotional, and continues to touch upon subjects that are taboo or at least not touched upon a lot. I cried along Sarah a couple times. You might need a bit of an open mind but it truly is an amazing journey. Just make sure to read in order.
Usually when I read a series the first book (just like movie sequels) are my favorite. However, I think this time the third book is. I say this because I think I judged the first two based on the erotic part of it (no I’m not prude, just not the usual romance I read it’s more out there) but now that I’m looking back and reflecting on it – the author writes about more real life than the usual dream world you see in a lot of romance books. It’s kind of refreshing and a whole hell a lot of an emotional roller coaster!
If you have read the first two books in this series, you absolutely need to read this one! Phoebe Alexander does not disappoint in Mountains Loved! I absolutely love how she ended the trilogy and summed everything up. You are left feeling satisfied in more than one way! I really like how this book focused a little more on Sarah’s daughter but you definitely still got enough of Sarah and James. I would highly recommend reading this book. I would recommend reading the first two books first as it develops a lot of the characters and stories, but you could also just jump in and read this one. This is a 5 star read just as Phoebe Alexander’s other Mountains Trilogy books!
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Mountains series. This is the continuation of the story of James and Sarah. The first three books have to be read in order because the story is ongoing between the three books. The pair has faced many hardships. There are times where I was tearing up and other times I wanted to strangle the characters. There is a whole range of emotions and yet I did not want to put the book down. This is a fantastic continuation of a series. I am looking forward to more of the books in the series.
Wow, This book had me turning the pages as quickly as I could so I could find out what happens next. Great Character development and easy to follow the storyline. I’ve read the other books in this series, you can read this book solo but I always like to read it in order 🙂 The author does a great job with flowing the books together. You’ll learn about the struggles that Sarah and James go through now that they’re finally together. Want to know more get the book!
Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series written by Phoebe Alexander. As usual, I cannot say enough good things about this author and her style of writing… she is just phenomenal. Also, per usual, I will say that you need to read this series in the order that it was written. This is the continuation of the story about James and Sarah. From the very first page of book one I was absorbed in the love story with these two. I was thrilled that things finally worked out for them as a couple as I was fighting for them all along. Some of the things in this book were hard to read (regarding infertility issues and miscarriages) so it may not be suitable for everyone. I felt the heartache myself, as if it were me who was the one suffering through these terrible things. I also felt sadness in my soul when there were points brought up about how quickly your children grow up. But I will say that every emotion I felt while on the roller coaster of reading this book was so worth the beautiful ending. I will forever be a Phoebe fan and will seek to get my hands on anything that she has written.
Sarah and James have finally come back together, but it’s not without issues. They have fought hard to get to a point where they can be together openly and without judgment from each other. With both of them dealing with internal battles, it doesn’t help that they’re dealing with outside influences that threaten to break them apart for good. With every challenge they face, the emotional toll gets higher and higher.
This book has so many intense moments that made me want to scream and yell at them both! When things are good for them their love is so beautiful, its what love should be. But with all that good, there was so much more hurt than the two previous books in my opinion. Their journey is beautiful, heartbreaking, and downright hot. It’s hard not to feel a deep connection to these characters thanks to the way the author celebrated her muse and wrote an amazing story. I can’t wait to see who will get their own book next!
What a way to end Sarah & James’s story. These three books have been captivating from start to finish, and this book is no different. Once again we follow these characters on an emotional rollercoaster. They once again face many obstacles that keep getting in their way of a HEA, but you can’t help but hope they don’t give up the fight to get their HEA. Phoebe Alexander creates characters that are real, have amazing chemistry and connection and really help you feel as though you are there in the story and really bring it to life. This has been an incredible series to really get drawn into, I have thoroughly enjoyed and loved the characters and storylines! I highly recommend this read!
This is the 3rd book following Sarah and James story.
Finally together and settled into married life they are both happy and content, but things in their lives are changing.
Sarah’s children are growing fast and are mostly independent so is now the time for the pitter patter of tiny feet again?
They have many things to overcome together from parenting Sarah’s children, trying for their own, dealing with loss and deciding whether their relationship should be open or closed means this book is definately a page turner.
This is the third of the “Mountains Loved” series and I’m still finding myself rooting for Dr. Sarah Lynde and Sgt. James McAllister. From the first book to this third of the series, it’s gripped my attention more than I thought it would. The characters feel so real as you experience as much with them as we do in real life. The two main characters are making family decisions and how to move forward as a couple. No matter what they go through, I’m hoping to see them through it all. If you’re gonna read this installment, please pick it up from the beginning! This is well worth the read with so much to look forward to.

5 of 5 Stars
This was the conclusion of James and Sarah’s story which began in ‘Mountains Wanted’ and continued in ‘Mountains Climbed’.“Intended for readers 18+, the first three Mountains Series books must be read in order, as it is James and Sarah’s continuing saga”.
Sociology Professor Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister are finally together having discovered that, “Time doesn’t heal all wounds…LOVE does”. Life has not been easy for either Sarah or James and their relationship has been very rocky from the start even now they are together their relationship is not a conventional one. Having come together as a family with Sarah’s two teenage children they are happily married and even talking about having a baby, but their main concern is whether to have an open or closed marriage having had a polyamorous relationship in the past. Normal everyday pressures along with past issues all put a strain on their relationship. The couple are used to having to climb mountains where their love is concerned but have they now got a rock solid relationship or will it crumble into the sea? No spoilers, but if you have read books one and two you will definitely want to read this fantastically written book and find out their fate.
This is another action packed story by Alexander, full of excitement, emotions, hot steamy sex scenes, romance and everyday relatable issues all of which makes this a book I could not put down.
This story just keeps getting better with each book, Mountains Loved is the 3rd book in the Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander. This is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story that will like the others keep you on an emotional rollercoaster. I wouldn’t read this as a standalone and recommend reading the other 2 first. The author has a way of bringing this story to life where you feel like you are there witnessing it all at least that’s how I felt. These two still have mountains to overcome but will they be able to or will this be the end of their relationship?
This is the third book in the Mountains series and I highly recommend reading them in order. This is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story and you won’t want to miss a thing! Once again, Ms. Alexander takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that you won’t soon forget. This is a thought provoking journey with wonderfully written characters and scenes. My heart is still feeling it, even after finishing the book!
I have honestly grown to love Sarah and her family and friends. So this story had me feeling a bit disconnected from Sarah on several occasions. I guess I have gotten so involved with their lives that I was truly angry at her for some of her decisions in this one! She shows a vulnerability that I didn’t expect and it upset me at times! Just like her family and friends, I guess I saw her as Superwoman and wanted her to always be that strong woman who never second guessed herself. We truly see how human she is in this story. James will have you frustrated beyond belief throughout this one! I was at a point where I really wanted to kick him to the curb!
I don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to give you and spoilers. Just know that you won’t regret reading this series if you like a great story that will open your mind and leave you with all the feels!

5-Stars
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) By Phoebe Alexander was a steamy, romantic, and fun read. This novel continues to follow James and Sarah and cannot be read as a standalone. I love how much their characters have changed through out this series. This is my new favorite of the series. I lived following them through the ups and down of this third book. It is written well and organized. I could not put this book down. The setting of each scene is descriptive and easy to visualize, including the steamy scenes. I had no problems picturing myself in the story. I highly recommend this book as well as the series. It is an excellent read!
I adore the journey of Sarah and James. As hard as seeing the trials and obstacles they go through it just made the entire series that much stronger and realistic. My heart broke for Sarah. What she endorse through this book is just painful. James I want to scream at so many times but yet I still love that man.
I love that Phoebe is able to blend the fantasy of what I love about reading romance with relatable characters and realistic problems. Love and life is messy and Phoebe does an incredible job portraying that.
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Mountains series. This book must be read in order as it is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story.
The previous books have been building to everything that happens in this book. We have followed the characters on their journey the whole way through.
This author has done an amazing job of creating such lasting and engaging characters. I was drawn to them and could not wait to read more about them.
I was torn over this book because I couldn’t wait to read it as I had to know what was going to happen. But at the same time I didn’t want this journey to end, I was enjoying it so much.
Phoebe Alexander has easily become one of my favourite authors and this series is the perfect example as to why. If you haven’t read this series already then I cannot stress enough how much you should. This is a fantastic series and one o would highly recommend.

I absolutely love this author! I don’t think she has written a book that I haven’t loved yet and I was so, so excited to read the third book in this series – I love the characters Sarah and James! Their story has been so up and down with a whole host of things along the way so I was really looking forward to seeing what was going to happen next for them. I’m not quite sure I’ve gotten off the emotional rollercoaster that Ms Alexander had me on during this story! I laughed, I cried and I shouted (mainly at James!) at the book many times whilst I was reading it! I have been rooting for Sarah and James since they very first met and I have really taken them both into my heart! My heart really ached for Sarah in this story though; it wasn’t what I was expecting at all! The author writes her books in such a way that they really do feel real at times, I can visualise the settings, the characters and their feelings whilst I am reading. A fantastic, heartfelt and emotional read that I highly recommend!
This is the third book in the Mountain Series and we find ourselves with Sarah and James. I highly recommend reading this story in order. We are with Sarah and James at the start, middle, and now the final destination of their story. It is refreshing to follow a couple from when it started. I have a deeper understanding where they are coming from in their relationship. There have been many mountains for these two. Some rough patches, but they always find their way back to each other. In this story, Sarah and James thought that they had climbed their last mountain, well that is just a little more for them to climb. There is something not happening with Sarah and James. There is one piece of the puzzle that has eluded them. Will this puzzle piece missing can Sarah and James overcome this mountain before them? You will have to read this series to find out.
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) by Phoebe Alexander. This book is the final chapter in Sarah and James’ story. Like all of the other books, this one also had all of the feels….. You will experience it all, happiness, sadness, heartache and love……. Just like the characters did, Ms. Alexander also worked my nerves throughout this series and book…. I wanted to jump into the book and throttle James at times. This series definitely has to be read in order!!! I hope you dive in and read this entire series.
