A driven young lawyer, Laura begins to feel the pressure of her chosen lifestyle, and when current beau Craig announces that it’s just not working out, she reevaluates her immediate future. Upon a strong suggestion from a superior, Laura agrees to step back and escape to the country for a few weeks to work remotely, regroup, and gain some personal insight. Initially, her city comfort zone rebels against the isolation of the rustic mountain cabin she now calls home. But Laura is determined to take a chance. Although cautioned of various dangers of living in the Wyoming wilderness, Laura surprises herself when early mornings begin to suit her. Long walks in the woods become a highly anticipated habit. She settles into solitude. And then, it happens. Ignoring warnings about the potentially dangerous squatters who camp in the woods, Laura cast her worries aside and headed out on an early morning hike that resulted in a disastrous fall and a knight in shining armor rescue.

When Lara's boyfriend breaks up with her, nearly ruining her very important court case, and leaves her devastated, she takes her best friend's advice and takes a trip away from everything to clear her head, regroup, so she will be ready to go back to the law firm fighting for those difficult cases she always tries. The trip high in the Wyoming mountains just might work. But Lara is a city girl. The cabin is so far into the mountains that there is no one close by at this time of the year.

The Heart of the Mountain: A Sweet and Clean Small Town Romance by Kay Wolfe is indeed in the heart of the wild mountains in Wyoming. Wolfe creates characters that will warm your heart yet surprise you. The descriptions of the mountains are very detailed. The details of the cabin Lara is staying in with the outstanding views are breathtaking and the trails throughout the mountain tell of the harsh but beautiful land. The cover of the book goes well with the descriptions in the book. But as Lara ventures out, she discovers just how hard and dangerous the mountain is, several times in fact, when one of the mountain men, Chase, comes to her rescue.
