From goodreads:

Eighteen-year-old Kimberly gets the shock of her life when she learns the father she thought was dead is not only very much alive, but never even knew she existed. Angry with her mother for lying all these years, Kimberly flies to Colorado to meet the father she knows nothing about before heading off to college in the fall.

Her father’s world turns out to be nothing like she expected. Rather than the typical nine to five lifestyle, Kimberly’s father runs a summer foster camp that teaches young children skills to build their confidence and self-esteem. The Colorado Rocky Mountains are a different world than the sunny shores of California, taking Kimberly completely out of her element, and causing her to second-guess her spur of the moment decision.

Never being one to quit anything, Kimberly is determined to show her father that a surfer girl can fit into this rugged mountain wilderness. That is if she can deal with Mason, an arrogant nineteen-year-old guy who has made it his mission to point out every mistake she has made since her arrival. While she would love nothing more than to rub it in his know-it-all face, Kimberly can’t deny the feelings he stirs up inside her, or the chemistry between them, even during their verbal assaults.

When a tragic accident leaves them stranded in the mountains, Kimberly must use her shaky skills to save Mason and survive the elements. Suddenly, fighting is the last thing on their minds as they must rely on each other if they want to live. In their struggle for survival, they realize what they thought they knew about each other isn’t true after all.

  1. I am an ocean kind of person only due to my lack of experience with mountains. I am always open for new travel locations!

  2. I'm not fit for the mountains! I'm more oceanic in that I'll rather have the whole world at my feet rather than "just" the mountains!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I'm definitely more of an ocean type of person. My head doesn't do all that well in higher altitudes.

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  10. For the most part, Mountains definitely! Though when I lived in Sydney for 9 months, I could see Bondi Beach out of my window so I had a momentary glimpse of loving oceans more.

  11. I'm an ocean girl myself! I live in a beach town, but we also have the mountains & redwoods! :-)

    Awesome giveaway! I've read two of Tiffany's books and I love her writing!

  12. Thats a tough question! I go to the Poconos (mountains in PA) every summer but I have this undying love for the beach! I can't decide :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ocean for SURE, I'm a California girl born and breed, I don't know what to do if the Ocean is more than an hour away from me. But I'm partial to mountains too.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love the mountains, but I am totally an ocean girl. I would spend everyday on the beach if I could!!
    This book sounds so good!! Can't wait to see your review!

  15. Unlikely Allies sounds good. Good luck with the tour!

  16. I would have a hard time choosing between the mountains and the ocean; I love them both! Where I live in VA, I'm only a few hours away from both. However, if I had to choose, I would probably choose the mountains.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It's a toss up for me too. I live in South Carolina but have also lived on the Rocky Mountains. But, I would say Ocean. It can get down right cold in the mountains in winter!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would like the mountains. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I grew up right between the mountains and the ocean on the East coast, so I love both! But I'd choose the ocean to live by forever! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'd have to choose ocean for the sound of the crashing waves.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oceans or Mountains? Both. I really don't know. I don't live near either so both sound fabulous to me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have never lived near either but I enjoy the oceans I have visited.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've always NEEDED to be near the ocean. For most of my life I lived a good 7 hours from the nearest beach, and that one I didn't consider a REAL beach. The water was cold, even in the summer, and there were no palm trees.

    My grandparents lived in Miami and we vacationed there every summer. Now THAT is a beach! My husband and I now live in the Florida Keys where I'm surrounded by water and only 10 miles from a wonderful, quiet beach. Heaven on earth :)

  24. Mountains...for sure!

  25. I love both the ocean and the mountains! It depends on my mood where I want to be. I tend to like the mountains during the holiday season, and the beach during spring and summer.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I HATE the ocean! I can't stand cold water and sand so I guess my answer is the mountains.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Since I live in the Ocean State, I guess I have to go with the ocean.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Definitely the mountains. Love them! B

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mountains, as a natural red head the sun is not my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have to say mountains. I live in Florida and I haven't been to the beach in years! We go to the Smoky Mountains for vacation.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I live on an island, surrounded by the ocean, so I see it on daily basis, but I do love the mountains w/it's crisp, clean, air and beauty of it. I think if I had a choice I would pick both!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I live on the Georgia Coast near the ocean and grew up on Sapelo Island, and I do love the beach, but I really love the mountains and that is my favorite place to vacation.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ooooh, that's a tough choice. I guess it depends on the time of year. I love the sun, sand, and waves in the summer. But I also love the smell of the air, cuddling beneath blankets, and the beauty of being in the mountains during autumn. I guess if I had to absolutely choose, it'd be the mountains.

    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  34. Love the ocean! I like mountains too, but I like the ocean more.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I've spent my entire life in Florida surrounded by endless beaches and ocean and a handfull of vacations in the mountains and I'd pick the mountains over the beach. I think it's just being somewhere different but the mountains to me are so much better.

  36. Ocean, I think, but mountains are inticing compared to the flat land around here in Miohigan! Stuck In Books

  37. I used to think ocean, but I'm not sure anymore. I've lived near the mountains now, and loved them. Can I say both?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I used to think ocean, but I'm not sure anymore. I've lived near the mountains now, and loved them. Can I say both?

  39. I live near the mountains now but I have always loved the ocean. I would love to have a house on the beach!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ocean I don't like hights and the mountains always freaked me out

    ReplyDelete
  41. Totally mountains! I love to hike.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I absolutely adore the mountains (I live in the north Georgia mountains); but, every now and then it's nice to get away and go to the ocean.

    ReplyDelete
  43. This a hard decision because I don't see much of either. I guess I"ll have to say mountains!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I live in the Smokey Mountains of east tennessee,so...of course the mountains,but my getaway would be the beach!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm a mountain and ocean girl! I love them both equally. Just can't decide they are both equally beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I live in WA state! So, yeah, I'm a mountains girl!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would have to sat the ocean..Thanks for the giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oceans for me although Mountains are beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I live near the ocean, but I adore woody nature. I love the sound of ocean waves and the crisp air that accompanies the ocean.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love both mountains and ocean, but if you forced me to choose, I think I'd take ... ocean! Even though I don't like to swim (afraid of the water), it's like my body responds instantaneously to the smell of salt water, the ocean breeze, and, most of all, the sound of the waves - as soon as I get to a beach town, my stress level plummets! I love it.

    Though, in truth, if I could choose and if it were a perfect world where money is no object, I think I'd live at the ocean in winter and spring, and in the mountains in summer and fall :) ... now THAT would be ideal!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I've actually never been out into either. I'd choose ocean, though, because I love water, and because driving through the mountains makes my ears hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  52. have lived near the ocean my whole life - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com

  53. Definitely mountains, they are gorgeous!

  55. I grew up in the desert so I craved the vacations and trips we would take to the ocean. I love beaches and I love the trips my dad takes us on in his sailboat. Definitely more of an ocean girl

  60. I loved visiting the ocean! It is so beautiful and relaxing! BUT--I cannot give up my trees and hills. I'm in the mountains of SE Kentucky and love it!

    ReplyDelete
  61. thats such a beautiful cover for the book

    ReplyDelete
  62. This is a hard one because I grew up with the mountains surrounding me but every year we visited the ocean to. I think if I had to pick just one, I would stick with the mountains. I love it here!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I definately choose ocean. I've live near water all my life and can't even imagine life without being able to enjoy it all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hmm... That's a tough one. As a Florida girl my first instinct is to say ocean all the way, but I've never even seen a mountain so I can't really compare them. I guess I'll say ocean.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I love the mountains (grew up in Wyoming), but I think I'm part mermaid - I love the ocean more than anything else! I could sit and stare at the waves crashing on the shore all day long, with nothing else to do, and be perfectly happy(and in fact, I have done this on several occasions!)
