The View from the Top

By: Rachel Lacey

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

When a driven businesswoman from Boston collides with a free-spirited artist on a Vermont mountainside, they share a memorable—and steamy—night, but life soon pits them against each other over the fate of a family business.

Emily Janssen prefers to play it safe. At thirty-five, she’s still working at the inn her grandmothers own while dreaming of a day when she’s able to support herself fully with her art. And while her friends have all hiked to the summit of the mountain in their hometown of Crescent Falls, Vermont, something has always held Emily back.

Diana Devlin has already made it to the top. Well, almost. She’s this close to securing the promotion that will put her in line to take over as CEO of her family’s hotel chain when her father retires. Everything is going to plan until an unexpected run-in with an alluring artist on a mountainside throws Diana off course, resulting in one of the hottest nights either she or Emily have ever experienced.

Emily walks away from their rendezvous feeling inspired to channel some of Diana’s confidence and finally chase her dreams. For Diana, it’s a reminder that with the right woman, she is capable of wanting more than one night.

But their growing passion threatens to burn them both when they learn that the hotel Diana’s in town to buy is none other than Emily’s grandmothers’ beloved inn. It’s Emily’s home, and no big city outsider—not even Diana—is going to take it away from her.

Will the view from the top be worth the climb, or will they both have farther to fall?

Beautiful Love Story

I love how this romance covered so many interesting and complicated subjects- chosen family vs bio family, the importance of community, and finding the courage to forge your own path. Quinn Riley does such a beautiful job with distinct voices for each character-she/her, he/him, or they/them. She does a wonderful job capturing the full spectrum of emotions. She is one of my favorite narrators. I often purchase a book simply because she is narrating it. This story is a wonderful addition to RL’s body of work. I highly recommend it.

I couldn’t stop listening

Hot and beautiful

I loved this book. It’s set exactly where it needs to be, the characters are well developed and interesting, and the chemistry between them is unbelievable. Quinn, you have out done yourself with the narration on this audiobook. I loved every minute I listened to this and will probably listen to it 1 million more times. Congratulations Rachel Lacey on an incredibly lovely story filled with heart, sexiness, and hope.

Quinn Riley does it again!

She does not miss, this story and the narrator is the best you can ever get.

Another homerun for Rachel

A very cute uplifting story. I throughly enjoyed it. An unlikely paring of a small hometown girl and a corporate business woman. As their relationship grows, they each gain a better understanding of themselves.

Wonderful

Some times you can tell the book by the narrator, and this book was chosen because it is Quinn Riley narrating it. And I was not wrong, it is wonderful. I loved the drama, it is spicy as needed not too much not too little, and it is well written.
