After the Climb (River Rain, #1)
Kristen Ashley
They were the Three Amigos: Duncan Holloway, Imogen Swan and Corey Szabo. Two young boys with difficult lives at home banding together with a cool girl who didn’t mind mucking through the mud on their hikes. They grew up to be Duncan Holloway, activist, CEO and face of the popular River Rain outdoor stores, Imogen Swan, award-winning actress and America’s sweetheart, and Corey Szabo, ruthless tech billionaire. Rich and very famous, they would learn the devastating knowledge of how the selfish acts of one would affect all their lives. And the lives of those they loved. Start the River Rain series with After the Climb, the story of Duncan and Imogen navigating their way back to each other, decades after a fierce betrayal. And introduce yourself to their families, who will have their stories told when River Rain continues. This series was started with the help of you, my readers, during the pandemic crisis of COVID-19. The first book in this series is free, a gift to my Chicklets for their loyalty and support over the years, and a project we all banded together to produce during a challenging time. Thank you for years of kindness and encouragement. I hope you enjoy what we built together. Please note: This book is a love letter to my readers, a project we worked on together, and as such, for the time being, will only be available right here on my website. In time, I will put it on vendors to be made available widely, but now, it’s just for you

A free book accessible from her website, she wrote this during the Civic quarantine. It's a fast read, with a few editing and confusing textual issues.
A sweet story, very much similar to a lot of her older work, that is clearly a springboard to a series following the grown-up kids of the older leads featured in this book. To major readers of her works, the characters feel like mash-ups from previous stories. For new readers though, this is a short, free but slightly weaker introduction to her style of writing.
0When I start a Kristin Ashley I know what to expect. This book does not start out in the typical way. This book begins with a death, a betrayal, and shenanigans.
I have to admit that I was hoping that the alpha language that is always in her books would not be in this book. However, it shows up. I was a little disappointed because Bowie was different and I’d hoped he would be completely different. It didn’t ruin the story.
I enjoyed this 2nd chance story and all the side characters.
