See all formats and editions

Grad student, Lisa Richardson, scours the high country in search of her beloved boreal toad. The amphibian is in danger of extinction, a fate she is determined to change. Single-minded in her focus, Lisa doesn’t realize that she’s being followed by a madman. Enter McIntyre Walsh. Ex-Marine with a heart of gold, this man lives and breathes duty. Protection. Content with his self-exile on a mountaintop, he inadvertently witnesses a female hiker in danger, a situation he cannot ignore yet is unable to rectify. When their paths cross, each refuses to budge from their avowed goals and carries on, despite the other. It isn’t until a killer ramps up his game that both are forced to relent. Battling the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and an undeniable attraction between them, Lisa and Walsh must work together against the odds if they intend to get off the mountain alive.

Introducing my new SILVER CREEK series...

Set in a fictional ski resort town in Colorado, eco-minded heroines face treacherous threats in the rugged landscape, explosive deception and scandalous ploys as they strive to engender real change in the world.

Book #4 ~ ONLY WITH YOU is NOW available!

Dianne Venetta is the award-winning author of contemporary romance and cozy mystery novels, including Jennifer's Garden, winner of Best in Romance for 2012 Indie Discovery Awards. When not knee-deep in romance, she contributes gardening advice to various websites and publications and has been featured on GalTime, Huffington Post, Earth Eats (Indiana Public Radio) and Ideal Home Garden among others.

She lives in Central Florida with her husband and two children. When not whacking away at her keyboard you'll find her in their organic garden chasing grasshoppers and plucking hornworms all while drawing wild analogies between kids and plants and men. Definitely men. A girl's gotta have fun, right?

Dianne also enjoys volunteering in school gardens and has begun a children's series chronicling her adventures called Wild Tales & Garden Thrills. It's a crazy existence to be sure, but at the end of the day, if she can inspire someone to stop and smell the roses--or rosemary!--kiss their child and spouse good-night, be kind to a neighbor and Mother Earth, then she's done all right.

Rocky Mountain Balm

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

It was the night before my last day vacationing in the Rockies, 5500 to 9000 ft up, depending on the day. I couldn't sleep, distressed about returning to the lousy 581 ft above sea level that is Green Bat, Wisc. I needed a balm, to help me through to reality. I found it in this book. I'd just hiked the Rockies. The book not only started that way, but kept with that through most of the book, teaching a few pointers. It had smart, capable people -- no overly girly characters doing stupid things. There was humor, adventure, good character development, fast-paced thrill & life-changing love. Very good writing. A great book I much needed. And I almost passed on it because the toad thing didn't seem appealing, but it's just an element of who the main heroine is. Now, I'm compelled to check out the next in the series. Thank you for letting me take the Rockies home with me in this way!

This book was OK for a romance. It was done in an outdoor mountain setting which is good. The characters where developed well and knew there jobs. I liked the idea of the military vet and the scientist. Descriptions were Ok - except for one little part toward the end which I have tried to ignore but just can't . There were about 4 sentences about a very minor character who was referred to as a bull rider. Mind you there was nothing about bull riding in the whole book except this. It was also said that he weighed 220 pounds. NO WAY would anyone that heavy be a bull rider. The writer needs to check her facts. Go to [...] and check out the bios on the Professional Bull Riders. Watch a few of the videos. Most bull riders only weigh about 150. That being said - was the writer thinking about steer wrestlers? most of the rodeo steer wrestlers do weight about 200 or so. Check out [...]. for other rodeo events besides bull riding. Sorry this bothered me but I have been a fan of rodeo and especially bull riding for about 40 years.

I found myself involved with the characters in this book. I could see the Colorado mountains, hear the gushing streams. I learned a great deal about toads, a subject that was of no interest to me until this book. Walsh was a believable marine, not a super-sexed super hero. Diane Venetta got the story just right. I found it a page turner, Now Silver Creek is a series. I'm eager to read the next one. All told, Not Without You,
is a great summer read.

Since I am new to hiking in Colorado I enjoyed the scenery and mountain references. I disliked some parts of the storytelling because it lacked reasoning and insight to some of the characters. Although I found it to keep my attention, I will not recommend to my adult friends but a younger audience may connect with it more.

Most enjoyable read. Walsh & Lisa were awesome... Strong will, motivated, dedicated and compassionate. I hope Dianne Venetta will bring them back to life in other books...
