    Kylie and Malcolm were first introduced to is via their story in the Invitation to Eden series. This is a continuation of those love story.

    I enjoyed the fact that this novel was written with a slightly different slant. First, it took place more on Stone Summit, the new ski recreational are just above the Springs resort. Second, that this was also a "coming of age" book, so to speak, in regard to Kylie recognizing and following her dream. Third, that passive/aggressive behavior I the part of both Kylie and Malcolm led to so many misunderstandings between the two that the fact that their relationship actually was able to be saved and made that much stinger. It will be interesting to see how they work out the next few years...but it would be nice if Malcolm was better able to balance his work/love life love more reasonably for the next few years. If anyone can do it, I believe these two can...

    This book was written with such great emotion and in a manner that draws the reader in from the beginning and keeps them engaged to the end of the novel. It is written in such a way that the reader is able to empathize and better understand each of the characters feelings and thought processes as they each work through their individual issues as well as those as a couple.

    I enjoyed this novel a great deal and the different take it took in regard to Kiley and Malcolm's relationship since Eden. It ha become stronger in many respects and has weakened in several others.

    This book is perfect for those whole love romance novels, contemporary novels, chick lit, and the Mountain Castle Lodge and/ or the Springs series. I highly recommend this novel, as well as any of the of the books/series written by Elena Aktken.

    Kylie, Malcolm & Marcus make an interesting love triangle. Malcolm & Marcus are brothers & are both interested in Kylie. Malcolm is trying to get his new ski resort opened & functioning. Kylie is his girlfriend & is feeling left out & ignored. She is also trying to find her own path & doesn't want to just be taken care of by a guy. Marcus comes up for opening day at the resort. He is Kylie's ex & is more playful & less intense than his brother.

    I loved this book!! The story just reaches out & grabs you & keeps you involved to the end. The characters are realistic & believable. The writing is so intense & emotional you find yourself experiencing the same emotions as the characters. I was as mad as Kylie when Malcolm expected her to waitress at his party instead of being by his side. I wanted to just reach out & shake him to make him see what was going on. However, when Kylie grabbed Marcus & kissed him in front of Malcolm, I wanted to slap her. I knew how I wanted them to end up but there were enough twists & turns that I wasn't positive I knew the ending. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves contemporary romance. This book is a follow up from an Invitation to Eden book but can easily be read as a stand alone.

    Summit of Desire is book one of the Stone Summit trilogy by Elena Aitken. It is set on the Stone Summit ski resort near Cedar Springs. It is set at the opening of the Summit.
    Malcolm Stone is working very hard to make sure the opening of Stone Summit is successful. He worked very hard to set up the ski resort and hopefully having a good ski day for the towns’ people will help. It will culminate in a party on New Year’s Eve. Everything must be perfect. He has even asked his girlfriend, Katie, to address the wait staff and make sure they are on the same page. Ever since he told Katie how he felt about her, he has wanted to take care of her. He still was unsure about her feelings for his twin brother, Marcus. However, he still invited Marcus to the grand opening.
    Katie Wilson has been unsure about her part in Malcolm’s life. She had watched her Mother wilt as her Father became a workaholic and put his work before his wife and child. She loved her Father; but didn’t seem to like his always putting his work before his wife or his daughter. Katie had her dreams but had put them on hold while she worked as a waitress. Now she feels Malcolm is putting his work before her and expecting her to accept whatever scraps he throws her. She knows they need to talk; but she isn’t sure it will help. However, she asks for a break in their relationship.
    Will the break be permanent? Is it an excuse to go back to Marcus? It throws Malcolm for a loop; but what will he do?
    It is a cute little book and makes a great summer read.

    Kylie and Malcolm are in a relationship but Kylie's reservations about herself cause her to ask for a break. Kylie is hesitant to communicate her problems to Malcolm which leads to a lot of angst for both of them.

    This was an interesting story with MC's who loved each other but had different perspectives. Kylie was in her mid-twenties but hadn't yet decided what she wanted to do as a career. When Malcolm was opening his successful ski resort, he was too busy to spend much time with her making her realize that she wanted to pursue her dreams of being a nurse.

    I felt for Kylie's pain and indecision and was happy that she finally talked with her friends about her troubles. It took her much longer to work things out with Malcolm who turned out to be very understanding and supportive.

    I really enjoyed this book. I've read most of Elena Aitken's books, so it was no surprise how good it was. Kylie was torn between two brothers, but realized who her heart really belonged too. It took her awhile to get around to talking (really talking) to Malcum to make him understand what she wanted in life, but she finally got around to it. Good book.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2015
    I read this following their Eden story to see what happened with the characters. It has sweet moments and I liked Malcolm. I couldn't help thinking Kylie was much too immature, very confused and insecure with no real reason. Her behaviour was more suited to YA fiction. The issues created were blown way out of proportion and could have been a much shorter story. No plans to read more from this author, die hard fans only.
