Everest was my third book by S.L. Scott and this is by far my favorite now!
"That man. He’s affecting my head and my heart. That only means one thing—Trouble."
I really don't know where to begin. Maybe with saying that Ethan Everest is the most perfect book-boyfriend I've met since I'm addicted to reading romance books. I fell for him like he fell for Singer: as soon as he first laid eyes on her. I've noticed throughout the whole book: This man seriously seems to have no flaws. Ethan is kind, attentive, charming, caring, smart and with a good sense of humor. In addition to that he's very protective of what he loves. He puts himself last when he should be putting himself first and buries his feelings only that others can come first. Ethan is confident and he owns every room or place he enters with so much ease it's almost unbelievable.
The fact, that he's ridiculously handsome and rich, that's only the cherry on top. And I would love him even if he wasn't. It was so easy to see him the way Singer sees him: Prince Charming par excellence!
If I could put together the man of my dreams, I would pick Ethan right out of this book.
"But there’s something about Singer. She’s in a league of her own, and she doesn’t even realize it."
Singer is also one perfect heroine herself. She's beautiful inside out and seeing her through Ethan's eyes is great experience. She is strong minded and independent. Singer cares deeply and loves freely. She's trusting, trustworthy and loyal to the bone. But she's also a dreamer with her head in the clouds and her feet firmly on the ground. She's hopelessly romantic and a strong believer. If Singer enters a room she shines like the sun and everyone is automatically drawn to her but she's totally oblivious to this fact.
I saw myself in her so easily.
“Like the hours, it’s not about the minutes that make them up, but the moments that make them memorable.” - This quote describes the message of this book perfectly. Ethan's and Singer's story shows us how our decisions in life influence our present and future. How valuable time is. That it is important to follow your heart on a way that leads you to being happy with the people you love. Dream big and don't be afraid to go for your dream. And yes, trust doesn't comes easily and it shouldn't and you should always be aware that trust can be broken more easily than it's built. But to trust is essential and can be even more rewarding.
"But her outlook on life, the way she sees me, the peace she brings to my life, she’s my North Star. She’s the one I look to when I’m struggling to find my way home." - This goes both ways. Ethan and Singer are so perfect together. They both were looking for a home they never knew they wanted and became each others save heaven.
There is one part in this book, a twist that came totally unexpected and broke my heart. It took me as much by surprise as it hit the main characters. And yes, it had my eyes water. Because what happened is one of the things in life I'm most afraid of. The way Ethan and Singer deal with it is like "best practice". Giving the other the space they need and still being there, trusting to find back to each other. Trusting that love can be enough.
What I love about this book is the fact that everything build slowly. Nothing felt rushed and it has some kind of natural, realistic aura.
“It’s never been about repaying the sun. It’s about making the sun shine in the dark. Let me be your moon and light your night."
Thank you Suzie for this amazing story. This is what every romantic girl and romance fan dreams of! You've outdone yourself with Everest and its way on my all-time-fav list was an easy one.
"His love for me runs deep. My love for him is bigger than the mountain sharing his name."

Everest is a contradiction. It's so hard to figure him out. And yet knowing nothing more than her makes her feel, she is swept away by him.
Unfortunately, it's not all roses and happily ever afters. It seems the contradictory statements are making Singer crazy. And me too. Ethan Everest needs to sh!t or get off the pot. He just can't figure out which.
Tension is high. Lust is in the air. But something bigger is brewing...
Everest has some intense moments and may or may not have made me cry. (It totally did.) It is almost a fairytale romance. I said almost.
It's well worth climbing the walls around Everest. And she may just be the first...

I have enjoyed several books from S.L. Scott and Everest sounded so good, so I knew I had to read it. I really liked it and was glad I read it. If you are new to her books, I would recommend checking them out as she is a great writer and her characters are easy to fall in love with.
Ethan Everest and Singer Davis met and hit it off, but a missed opportunity had them going their separate ways and only running into each other on occasion. But a year later, Ethan isn't ready to let her go again. Though he knows his life is complicated and it would be best if he walked away, he finds it impossible. But can they have a second chance when his secrets threaten to destroy everything between them?
I really liked these two together. I thought that they were good for one another and I loved seeing them support and be there for each other. They were easy to like and root for, and I liked that they had layers to them. There was more than met the eye, and I enjoyed seeing them get to know one another and let the other in. They had great chemistry and I felt like their connection was genuine and believable.
There were a few things I struggled with though and that was what kept this one from being a five star read for me. I felt like the first half of the book was a bit slow, and with Ethan being indecisive and sending mixed signals it got a bit old. The other thing that I had issues with was the amount of drama that took place, especially the second half of the book. It felt a bit like things went off the rails and I struggled with everything that was happening. I also didn't really understand why Ethan hadn't gone for Singer the first night they met when he was into her. I don't understand what made him leave and go after Dariya in the first place. I still liked the story and the characters, but there were just a few things that kept me from really loving this book. I still think readers will enjoy Ethan and Singer's story and it is one that I liked quite a bit.

Beautiful story
Ethan saw Singer across a room at a party and fell instantly in love, but never had the chance to tell her. Fast forward in life and once again their paths cross, but now Ethan’s life is in the middle of legal and personal battles. Their attraction and love cannot be denied. When tragedy strikes will Singer be strong enough to continue the relationship or will she walk away and lose the one man she truly loves? With great characters and a storyline that I could not put down this book should not be missed.

Who knew one simple decision could change your life so drastically. Everest and Singer’s story was an emotional ride. I laughed. I cried. It was raw and real and I wanted then to persevere. They’re the kind of characters you root for.

I liked the story and the romance between the characters. But I felt like the suspense part of the storyline took away from the romance.
