“…a fascinating portrait of the early days of the West and…an action-packed yet tender love story.” -RT Book Review on Winter Woman She survived the winter alone…After Cordelia Channing endures the lethal winter season alone in the Rocky Mountains, she is discovered by Thomas Nash, a solitary mountain man who wants only to hunt, trap and be left alone to grieve the woman he could not save. … the woman he could not save.

Good storyline, could have used more editing.
Loved the story, hooked on Cordelia and Thomas/Nash. Was loving the ride, but at the end, I wanted a bit more of a true HEA.
Book two in the Trail Blazers series and I am still reading this series backward I started with three now this one so I still have one to read. When I have finished this series I will be reading them in order. Cordelia Channing has endured so much when Thomas Nash a solitary mountain man discovers her and brings her to safety. I would recommend this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Gripping Story!
This book was a real page-turner. Not the usual type of story that I go for, but it was really interesting and refreshing to read about strong characters surviving in the wilderness. Cordelia and Nash definitely kept me interested as a reader. I wanted to find out, not only how they got together but, how they survived to tell the tale.

After reading The Trapper I was thrilled to get the arc for this one and it did not disappoint. When tragedy hits what the characters need to do to survive made for an unbelievable read. I remember my great-grandmother talk about how her mother had to live that in the mid-1800’s just the way Cordelia had to oh just in case you wonder my great-grandmother was born in the late 1800’s I learned a great deal from her. This romance was such a refreshing look at how people during the 1800s. It was an excellent read. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Cordelia Channing, widow, is found by Flatheads, after surviving her first Rocky Mountain winter alone,with only an axe and a broken down wagon. Her second winter is spent with Nash, a trapper, wandering the mountain streams, avoiding murderous Blackfoot and charming the Crows after she killed a grizzly and saved Nash.
I love how well this shows how the grit and determination of the early pioneers as they prevail through Indian attacks, the teeth and claws of wild animals, and the forces of nature to forge a place of their own. There are many legends told of the mountain men who blazed the trail for the first settlers. What a rarity to find one of a woman trail blazer so esteemed the Indians named her; Winter Woman.
I loved how well Cordelia is described, as she battles her fear of abandonment, how her struggles to not be a burden give her the tools to prevail over countless misfortunes with courage and faith. The pristine wilderness, the abundant wildlife, and constant danger are revealed in a wonderful adventure of her survival.

I quite enjoyed this book. I found the writing a bit choppy (lots of short sentences) but there was adventure, suspense, and drama. There was more of a focus on the frontier survivalist tale than the romance. Great story!
