Title: WILD WITHIN
Wild At Heart Series
Book One

  Author: Christine Hartmann
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Pages: 274
Genre: Romantic Suspense
A year after a family tragedy, Grace Mori embarks on the journey of a lifetime…
Two thousand, six hundred miles of blistering heat, wilderness, and soul searching—that’s what Grace signed up for when she decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. It’s not a voyage for beginners, but with no husband and her family still recovering from her bother’s death, Grace is more alone than ever.
This trail meant something to her brother, and she’ll hike it in his memory, but she can’t do it alone. So with her brother’s gear and a small group, Grace takes the most important first steps of her life.
Grace finds something more than peace and magic on the trail…
When her first day of hiking ends in heat stroke, Grace is rescued by a handsome, red-haired hiker who calls himself Lone Star. Grace has an immediate connection with him, and their brief encounter leaves her fearing her soul mate has slipped through her fingers. Although he vows to keep in touch, Grace doubts she’ll ever see him again.
When fears become reality, the only people Grace can rely on may be killers…
Grace is surprised to find notes left at supply posts along the trail. Lone Star’s eloquent letters keep Grace going, clinging to the hope she’ll find him—and happiness—at the end of her journey. But as the trail becomes more perilous, menace grows within the group. And when Lone Star’s letters mysteriously stop coming, Grace fears the worst.
As tensions flare and a killer emerges, Grace must battle to survive…and reunite with the man she’s sure is her future.

AUTHOR
Christine W. HartmannChristine Hartmann grew up in Ohio and Delaware and loves traveling to exotic, romantic settings. After a college semester in Kathmandu, her first three "real" jobs were all in northern Japan, where she lived for almost 10 years. She currently splits her career between her daytime occupation (improving the quality of veterans' nursing home care) and her nights/weekend avocation (writing both fiction and non-fiction books). Her husband Ron Strickland is a well-known long-distance hiker and trail guide writer and the founder of the 1,200-mile Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. Christine loves reading, pilates, bicycling, snorkeling, and health foods that taste like they're bad for you. You will often find her at a keyboard, a German shepherd at her side, and Ron whispering sweet edits over her shoulder. Visit her website: chartmannbooks.com. 

 REVIEW
 This book is written with a plot that moves along fast, has twists and turns that a really good thriller should have and of course, romance.This book is Book One in a series.  Grace takes on a big challenge, going hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail.  What will happen on her big hike?  Will it be a wild adventure?
As the author writes, she makes the reader feel the terror that Grace experiences. Ms. Hartmann wrote very detailed descriptions of the scenery, the surroundings and the characters.As the reader turns the pages, it's not all terror, there is a lot of fun and enjoyable times. It's surely an adventure of surviving and maturing.If you've had a rather bad day, when you get home, kick off your shoes, pick up this book and get away.This book has it all, fun, thriller, suspense, romance, relatable characters, mystery and so much more.  You can even relate to the villain, believe it or not.The writer appears to have written from some personal experience.  Makes for a great read.What will happen in Book Two?  Can't wait!
