Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) By Phoebe Alexander was a wonderful conclusion to the series. While the problems didn’t directly relate, the struggle to fix things is really real. I enjoyed the other 2 books in the series. It really helps build up the development of Sarah and James and their situation. The pace and storytelling is well done. There is a certain way Phoebe writes that just comes across as realistic.
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that is full of many, many raw emotions. There were many times when I wanted to grab hold of James and strangle him, I just couldn’t believe him, but I should have known better after the first two books. This is not a book of rainbows and unicorns as we would have believed after the last book. This book gives us a look at a relationship that is real and lacking in communication, sometimes love is not enough. It also gives a look at how dangerous it is if you allow others into your relationship.
Sarah, gets put through the wringer with this book and she does it all selflessly for the man she loves. Unfortunately, she has to do a lot of it on her own and she doesn’t know where she will end up. My heart broke in half for her as Phoebe gave us an honest and raw story.
James wants his cake and eat it too and expects that Sarah will just go along with it. He is selfish and can’t see her side of things even though many show him, but it is hard to take a good long look at yourself sometimes. I’m not sure if he can redeem himself with me…….
I can’t wait to see where Phoebe takes us next. I am assuming we will get more of a look at Abby, but you never know.
Mountains Loved is the 3rd book in the excellent Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander. Books 1-3 are Sarah and James’ story and should be read in order. The remaining books are stand-alones and can be read in any order. I had oved books 1&2 and could not wait to see how Sarah and James’ story turned out. In true Phoebe Alexander style it was action packed, hot and steamy and had a few curveballs to keep you on your toes.
In Mountains Loved we move 2 years on from the end of Mountains Climbed. Sarah and James are now married and Abby has gone to college. Having settled into married life James and Sarah are now considering whether it’s time to add another person into their polyamorous relationship and also trying to have a child of their own together. These events put a great deal of strain on the marriage and both start to question what they really want.
I have to say that there were times in this book that I really hated James. I just wanted to shake some sense into him. I guess it’s partly due to me not being polyamorous and just wanting James and Sarah to be together but also due to James being a complete douche at times. I really felt so sorry for Sarah, she just wanted to be happy and to be loved.
This book took me on a very emotional journey. I laughed and I cried. Oh yes, I cried. Parts of this story will really pull at the heartstrings. I won’t give any spoilers but will just say that you should really give this series a try. It’s awesome!!
I have absolutely devoured this series. I can’t seem to get enough of James and Sarah! I have loved seeing how their relationship has grown since the previous books. They have had such the rocky road but their struggles are very relatable so it was nice to see how they handled everything. Phoebe Alexander has a way to bringing very real issues in life into her stories and we see the very real struggles the characters go through. All three of these books were so hard to put down. I cannot wait to read more from Miss Alexander
This novel carries so much emotion it certainly took me on an incredible journey I felt like i was right there which makes reading this novel even more of an enjoyable experience. This book is relatable to many which is why I find this story will hit home for alot of readers and really touch your heart. It is a read that will leave you wanting more and want to sink your teeth into all over again. It’s an unforgettable read and one that I will be recommending to my other book lovers.
5 Stars
Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This book picks up a little after the conclusion of book two, so I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one as this isn’t a standalone and is meant to be read as part of the series. The first two books have really important details which you will need to fully understand and appreciate this book.
James and Sarah have gone through a lot, climbing their mountains, through every stage of this series- and just when they are finally together and looking towards the future they’d envisioned together- life throws them yet another mountain to climb. Is their love strong enough to see them through, or will this be the one mountain that proves too difficult to traverse?
I felt this was the most emotive of the three books so far- full of passion, heartbreak, love, tears, and joy. This story had my emotions strapped to a bungee cord, diving and then soaring, and plunging again, all over the place. Playing with my emotions is something I have found that Ms. Alexander does incredibly well, and on a regular basis, through all her books.
Wonderful!
Thank you, Ms. Alexander!
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series Book 3)
by Phoebe Alexander
Going into the third book, I was already invested in James and Sarah’s relationship from the beginning and I needed to know where their relationship was going to take them. You must read these books in order so that you can get the full picture of how these two got to where they are now. In this book they have run into some issues that were emotional and I felt every one one them jumping off the pages. The author does an exceptional job writing this story and conveying different things that may come with this lifestyle. I absolutely loved this story. I won’t give anything away but this is a must read. I highly recommend this book.
I have to say I am so freaking grateful for the realistic and accurate as well as detailed alternative lifestyle stories we get from Phoebe Alexander. She will always bring the sass, drama, and realness with her novels and I have never been more grateful to see some literature that I personally can relate to on a personal level like I do with her novels. This book did all of these things and more, keeping me on the edge of my seat to find out which fork in the road our characters will take and the consequences that come with those choices.
Mountains Loved in the third book in her Mountains series and so far now my new favorite, which is hard for me to say since I adored the second book too! DO NOT read these books out of order! I sincerely feel like you would be missing so much that makes these storylines flow if you did so. The story progresses and follows through each consecutive book. The story will provoke feelings in you that you didn’t know you had the capacity to feel for someone who is ‘made up.’ I found myself both chuckling and tearing up at many points and I just love a book that makes me want to crawl into my bed deeper and get lost in the world I am reading about. The Mountains series will take you there far away to the mountains where you will fall in love all over again. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next books!
It’s hard to believe, but this third book is way more intense than the first two! The author is very good at being able to pull out your emotions and you can definitely identify with them. I felt bad for sarah and wanted to smack James. At one point, I thought,” that’s it, they’re done. Who can come back from that?” Even though they are both Poly, James took it to the next level. Hence, I wanted to smack him. I’m pretty sure I said out loud, “What is wrong with you? But in the end, love prevails. Who ends up with who? Read to find out!

Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This series should be read in order as the build on each other. You will miss out on Sarah and James’ backstory, if you haven’t read the first two books. I am really hooked on this series. The characters are true to life, the chemistry is palpable and the emotions were on a roller coaster. I was ready to throw my kindle across the room a few times. This is my favorite book of the series, but I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the books. I highly recommend this book, series and author.
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) By Phoebe Alexander – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four Stars
This is a really good book. You get to see James and Sarah fight for what they want. They continue to climb toward the ultimate goal. A forever kind of HEA. I wish the past would stay in the past. Life gets complicated enough without the past coming to the front of your mind. It takes some strong willed people to overcome the same fears being in a polygamous relationship. Family can be the biggest pain the bottom or support you 100% of the time. The future for this couple is unknown but I think they would prefer to do what ever it is together. I like this author the stories always fee real and authentic. I definitely recommend you check this series out you will not be disappointed.
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that you will love. This is number three in the Mountains series and I would wholly recommend you read them in order as these first three novels all cover Sarah and James story and it’s a powerful story that needs to be consumed. James and Sarah have truly climbed mountains for their love, but mountains can be dangerous much like love, and you may climb up safely, but you don’t always make it down safely. This is a compelling drama and James and Sarah each tell their own story, its one that is difficult and honest but its also very real. Do not miss this story, you need to get this story and series in your life.
Ms. Alexander – dang it!!! My heart is in shreds in such a beautiful way after continuing this series. This book – amazing! I just don’t have the words. Suffice it to say, fellow readers, obey and heed all disclaimers. The book must be read in series order or you simply won’t appreciate the level and depth of the characters written. And immediately add Alexander to your one click list. I promise – this is absolutely a no brainer.
I’ve followed this series from the very start & the third Book is by far the best one out of the series. This series should be read in order to get the best possible reading experience! This book is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story and they’re are learning that even though life is currently good, there will always be another Mountain to climb. They have to decide if this challenge is the end for them or will they learn that the HEA they’ve been searching for is worth fighting for?
This story had amazing characters and the author kept me interested and invested in the story from the very beginning. I am so looking forward to reading more by this author! I would recommend this Book to a friend who loves romance!
Happy Reading!

***sigh***
I have so many conflicting emotions with this book….I don’t think I have ever in all my years of reading wanted to crawl into a book and hit somebody upside the head as bad as I wanted to in this book. This is an ongoing story so please don’t try to read this as a standalone, there is so much substance you will be missing if you do that. I will not go into any detail regarding the storyline so as not to spoil anything from the first 2 books.
There is so much involved in this story that I don’t understand and don’t relate to, but I sincerely felt every emotion as if I did. I have grown to understand a little bit more after finishing because of the way this author explained the feelings being felt throughout. I have become completely invested in these characters, every one of them and was sad when i hit the end. I have such a high respect for Sarah, i could feel the torment she went through at times as if it were me in the story, her strength to do what her head told her to do even though her heart was shattered was so brave, classifying her as one of the strongest people i have ever read about.
I truly loved this book, the writing style of this author is unmatched and she has made putting the books down almost impossible. I very often love to go back and reread some of my favorites and I can not wait to do that with this whole series.
A Must Read…

Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) By Phoebe Alexander. I love this series. Its the story of Dr. Sarah Lynde & Lt. James McAllister. These books need to be read in order to get the full story.

There are other people involved which always makes things more complicated but there relationship is alone stormy. They have a steamy attraction to one another but when communication isn’t clear between each other then things can get all wonky. James isn’t the only one not to communicate well Sarah has her own issues with communication. Will their relationship stand the Mountains they have to climb. Read Mountains Loved to find out!
Mountains Loved (Mountains Series Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander. I honestly don’t know how this author does it, I swear she’s pure magic with words! Every book is better than the last! I was so excited to be back with Sarah and James I’ve been missing them. They have chemistry that just jumps off the pages and their story pulls me in immediately. I feel a coming home feeling when I get to continue their story. Please read theses amazing books in order to fully understand and get their story. The characters and storyline are so well written I find myself forgetting time of day and realize I’ve read the day away. If I could give more than five stars I would but it’ll have to do. Highly recommended!

Book 3
By Phoebe Alexander
This is the continued story of Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister. This I think was the hardest book to read, as James and Sarah still have struggles. Don’t get me wrong. All relationships have struggles, we have all been there. But for Sarah and James, this is a whole new struggle. Learning to be honest and communication is a real struggle. James sure tried, Sarah and even my patience. So having said that let’s throw in some polyamorous and see who talks first. This is where open communication happens. Do you think these two can get through this? Can Sarah and James work together to climb yet another mountain? Recover and still love each other?
Phoebe Alexander has written yet another book that tore my heart out. I think this series gave so much to their story. You can’t help but fall in love with her characters. Phoebe Alexander writes of strong women, who fight for what they want. She also writes from her heart. This series hit so many feelings. Happy, sad, anger, and communication, let’s not forget trust. This series is for those over 18. Take a chance and give this some reading. Remember to read the series in order. Thank You Phoebe Alexander for this great series!!!
Another great story in the Mountains Series. I loved Sarah and James journey. There story involves, love and loss and being reunited. All the characters are written so well. I felt like I was in the story and felt everything they felt. A must read!!!
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander was great! It was the perfect end to this trilogy series. Like the other two, this book grabbed in from the beginning and wouldn’t let go. I couldn’t tell if this novel was more emotional than the second in the series, but all the emotions are definitely in this one! It had me laughing and crying just like the second one did. And again, I highly recommend this third book in the Mountains Series!
