4.4 out of 5 stars 1,239 ratings

Don’t get caught in the surge.

Through a bullet hole in a wall, I watch a man bleed to death.
Those responsible think their crime died with the victim, until I identify them.
What’s a girl to do when she’s being hunted by murderers
witness protection can’t even stop?
Run.
My only refuge is a place I vowed to never go again.
When it’s do or die, an eight-year-old heartache suddenly seems trivial.
Besides, he won’t be there anyway.
But he is.
Turns out my old pain feels brand new the second his eyes meet mine.
I can’t leave. I can’t stay.
This snowy town that’s supposed to be my shelter
suddenly exposes me more than before.
With no one else to lean on, Liam becomes my lifeline.
Now we’re both running for our lives,
trying not to get swept away.

“You weren’t this stubborn eight years ago,”

I muttered against his chest, feeling a little surly myself.

A sound rumbled out of him and the breath he released as he spoke puffed out in a white cloud around me. “Yeah, well, eight years ago, I hadn’t lost you yet. I hadn’t lived without you.”

    Bellamy has run back to the town of Caribou, Colorado, to the BearPaw Resort. The place she once found love and heartbreak. It's a place she never saw herself coming back to. But she feels safe on this mountain, surrounded by the memories of her father, and moments spent with a guy she thought was her everything. Bellamy's time at the resort wasn't all happy, but she's willing to face the past, in order to survive.

    That's all Bellamy has been doing the past two years, surviving. Danger is following her. Always. BearPaw Resort is a good start for her to collect herself, keep a low profile, and plan for her next move. But that plan comes to a halt when she is face to face with the boy, who is now a man, that she loved and lost all at once, years earlier. The memories of them have been with her all this time, and being back and in Liam's presence, it feels like nothing has changed. But after eight years apart, it has. The chemistry between them is more intense. Stronger.

    Liam Mattison, former snowboarding pro, is working at his fathers resort, after a injury that has kept him out of the sport. He is trying to heal and get his head straight. He has choices to make, a path to choose. Snowboarding has always been his passion. But now Liam is trying to find who he is after his injury, and what he wants. The last thing he saw coming was the girl who ran from his eight years ago. He instinctively knows Bellamy is in trouble and instantly, after all the years apart, knows he will fight to protect her.

    Running, hiding, looking over her shoulder is all Bellamy has know the past two years, and Liam is determined to change that. He vows to protect, to fight for the woman who has always owned his heart, the one who got away, but who was never forgotten. And now with Bellamy back, Liam will be dammed if anything or anyone tries to take her away. Misunderstandings, timing, and regret kept them apart all this time. And with this unknown danger shadowing Bellamy, Liam knows he'll have to be strong and patient, and face his own pain and unknowns, if he and Bellamy have a shot at the something epic that has always been between them.

    Bellamy and Liam share a really special kind of bond. And now they have a second chance. To explore what started all those years ago. But will the danger following Bellamy and the unknown future for Liam pull them closer together or tear them apart for ever.

    A Second chance at love and life. Avalanche is a epic swoon-worthy kind of story. It's a fresh, thrilling, sweet new series to dive into. Funny and captivating characters, a fantastic setting, and a on the edge of your seat plot. Cambria Hebert writes some of the best swoon-worthy, alpha male leads. And Liam is one to add to that list. He's charming, stubborn and a fierce protector. Bellamy is so special. I loved her. She's scared and alone, but a fighter, sassy and just as fierce as Liam to protect. The connection between these two will have you falling head over heels in love with them.

    I have been looking forward to reading this series since we first got a glimpse into the Bearpaw crew during the Hashtag series by Cambria Hebert (also a fantastic series!). Going in, I was expecting a fun second chance snow resort romance, but then Cambria came out with a suspenseful keep you on the edge of your seat series and hooked me. I really enjoy the suspense/mystery elements to romance books and this one did not disappoint.

    Bellamy witnessed a murder and was put into Witness Protection, except the bad guys found her anyways. She is on the run and decides to return to the last place she felt a good safe memory and also one not related to her current life, enter Bear Paw resort. When Bellamy was last at the resort, she fell for Liam, an up and coming snowboarder. Due to series of bad timing, teenage naivety and a bit of miscommunication, Bellamy and Liam went their separate ways. She never really got over it and is hoping he is not at the resort.

    As luck would have it, he is and they run into each other at the check in desk. Liam immediately jumps into protector mode and knows something is up. He also knows this is his one and only second chance with the "one that got away". This story is a fast rekindling with a bit of insta-love. Their story is so cute and natural, like they never skipped a beat. While Bellamy is worried that her past will ruin them, Liam makes it known he does not care.

    The utter devotion to Bellamy that Liam shows is what romance novels are made of. He is top tier swoon with the way he cares for her and protects her. This first book in the series is a fantastic introduction to the Bearpaw resort and supporting cast. Liam's best friend Alex may me one of my favorite side characters. He has his secrets but he is all about his family which now includes Bellamy.

    This book will take you on a wild ride and throw in some crazy twists but it is so good! To be continued in Book 2.

    Avalanche will have your heart pumping while giving you butterflies in your stomach. Man, that was a crazy trip. I have been on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. Worried for Bellamy and Liam. You get action from the get go. Bellamy witnessed something horrific, and then is on the run. Literally. On the run for her life she ends up at the place she first fell in love, also the place she first she suffered her first heartbreak. Liam is trying to live life after an injury takes him from the pros of snowboarding. He's back at his family lodge trying to decide what to do with his life. Until Bellamy crashes back into his life. It's been eight years and the connection is still there. Their feelings may have been muted, but they never went away. Between surviving and getting to know each other again we are taken on an epic ride.

    One of the many things that I love about Cambria Hebert's writing is she makes all of her characters so real. I can really believe there is a Liam and Bellamy living this life in Colorado. I can believe they have a humorous best friend following them around. As well as a sweet, big, loving Saint Bernard. I got so lost in this story I didn't even remember eating dinner. The characters were captivating. The writing was flawless. The banter was a mix between sweet and sassy. The suspense had me jumping more than once. Avalanche is definitely a book that you will completely lose yourself in. Make sure you have time to read it in one sitting, because you won't want to put it down!

    Wow. I picked this book up and once I started it didnt leave my hands until I turned the last page. I was absolutely sucked into Bellamy and Liam's story.

    Packed with suspense and a heartwarming love that could melt snow. It was an exciting read thats for sure! I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, the chilling atmosphere and setting sent shivers down my spine and I was biting my nails just waiting for the penny to drop.

    I read the opening chapter and that was it, I had to know what would happen next. I loved the characters, the history between them shaping the story and their feelings. It was tender and terrifying at the same time, the uncertainty and underlying threat.

    Bellamy, broken, isolated and shrouded in fear, always looking over her shoulder.

    Liam, charming, kind, and protective like a warm blanket on a cold day.

    I cant wait to read more.

    Boarding? Dogs? Danger? Lost Love?
    Avalanche has it ALL, and so much more. All the stars for Cambria Hebert’s most recent release!

    “I vowed to never return, even to get back the chunk of my heart that had unfortunately stayed behind. Even after all these years, I knew it was still here. I felt it.”

    Bellamy Cutler is no stranger to hardship. But one emotionally-charged decision changes her fate. She is strong, smart and selfless; even in the face of danger. Cue the one and only Liam Mattison. Hot damn!! He was everything I could have possibly wanted.

    Avalanche is fast-paced, and will keep you on your toes. I started reading this one and BAM … I was already halfway through the book. You will not able to put it down!! Liam and Bellamy share an intense connection. Chemistry that was undeniable upon their first meeting and only grown as they find their way back to each other.

    “Thought about me, did you?” Every. Single. Day.

    I not only fell in love with Liam, Bellamy & Charlie (gah, his dog stole my heart), but I adored the entire BearPaw Resort family! I can’t wait to read more from these characters.

    Reviewed in Australia on March 30, 2018
    Loved it! I was in the mood for a good new adult romance and this was perfect. I love Cambria Hebert’s Hashtag series (well Romeo & Rimmel’s story – it is one of my all-time favorites) and Avalanche is very reminiscent of that. Liam is an amazing hero. Protective and caring. He always puts Bellamy first and never doubts his feelings towards her. Bellamy is a very likeable heroine. She is sweet, strong and just as protective of Liam as his is of her. I also really liked that it was set in a ski resort town. It was something different for me. The suspense side of the story was good too but not quite as strong as the romance. Highly recommend if you enjoyed the Hashtag series. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
