Thank you NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op and K.L. Parsons for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I’ve enjoyed them all.

This one focuses the most on the technical terms of a sport (climbing) which is not something I’m familiar with so pieces of it went over my head but would probably be extremely enjoyable for someone into the sport.

Tabitha is a former pro rock climber, current journalist covering the sport. Her publication (and job) are at risk and she’s sent on an assignment to essentially prove she still has passion for climbing after a nasty injury 3 years ago.

Zac has been the playboy - always around for a good time, never one to rely on in the two previous books. He has to step up to lead Tabitha’s climbs when his boss and best friend isn’t available. Zac and Tabitha are both shocked when they see each other for the first time in 16yrs - since they dated for a short but impactful time before Zac left without a word and broke Tabitha’s heart.

Zac was a tough MMC since he leaned very selfish in the past but I was happy to see he was trying to improve on his own, even before Tabitha came into the picture.

Tabitha is extremely regimented and closed off from her childhood of very overbearing parents and being an athlete. I enjoyed seeing her find her passion again, open up to some new friends and eat the dang onion rings!

This was the cutest romance ever! Highly recommend I also loved the concept, and the romance was so amazing!

I finished this book in 1 day! I absolutely loved how smart, strong, and professional Tabitha is! Not to mention the character Lark! I love her energy and spunkiness! It definitely made the book more enjoyable. I appreciated the knowledge on rock climbing. It wasn't too much. But it was very informative! Zac and Tabitha's relationship is to die for! I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a quick romance read!

This was a great book! The visuals and the info about rock climbing was so interesting to learn about and imagine. The back story and the emotional tension was just so addictive. I was just totally rooting for this couple. Lark and Frankie are the best! Everyone needs friends like them. I loved watching the characters each not just over come one obstacle but multiple through out the book. Plus the tense climbing scenes. Although I will be keeping my feet firmly on the ground I very much enjoyed living vicariously through these characters.

I have enjoyed this whole series and this one did not disappoint for me. I loved it. I think Zac was my favorite. There was just something about him that had me hooked! Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down! I knew it was a book I needed to finish right away!!

I really enjoyed this one! I thought Tabitha and Zac had great chemistry. I really enjoyed and could relate to Tabitha and her “skills” when it comes to outdoor activities haha. Also Zac was a great love interest for her he was complex but yet had a lot to offer her and I really enjoyed the way they earned there respect and love for each other. It didn’t feel rushed. Highly enjoyed if your looking for a light fun romance that will inspire you and also packs a bit of heat:

This is book 3 of the Stranded in Leavenworth interconnected series. Books 1 and 2 were so fun! You have to go read them now if you haven’t! Love on a Ledge is just as fun, spicy and emotional. I loved it!

What to expect:
- second chance romance
- slow burn
- forced proximity
- dual POV

Thank you to NetGalley and K.L. parsons for the ARC. All opinions are my own 🫶🏼

I’ve really enjoyed all the books in this series: they have a great balance of character-driven tension and a beautifully descriptive backdrop. The same is true for this instalment, and the spark between Zac and Tabitha is heightened by the fact they have a history. And unfinished business, even if they’re determined to ignore that for the sake of their careers.
Both main characters grew on me through the course of the story. Zac in particular has some ground to make up after his actions in the previous book, and both his deliberate decision to try and be more responsible and the reactions of everyone around him are handled realistically. Tabitha initially comes across as closed-off and anxious, but her reasons for that are gradually revealed and she blossoms as she rediscovers her passion for climbing and her chemistry with Zac. Around the central relationship are characters both established and new (Lark in particular is a joy), and the climbing detail is just right: enough description to impart knowledge without going over the top. The only addition I would have liked is a little more exploration of family background, Zac’s especially, because both he and Tabitha are clearly very much moulded by parental behaviour but it’s only lightly alluded to. That doesn’t, however, detract from what is an excellent second-chance romance.

in this book we are told of Tabitha and Zac. its part of a series but this was my first to the books. id gladly after this one go and read the others pronto though.
the book gives us Tabitha who is a former climber turned journalist. but her job is at risk if she doesnt pull off her last chance article. for this she needs to climb again and write about her experiences.
and that climb comes with the addition of the one guide she definitely didnt need on this last ditch effort to keep her life together. Zac is to be her guide.but Zac is known to Tabitha. he was her ex from many years ago. but he wasnt just any ex. and there is in the first instant they meet again all those feelings back there again bubbling to the surface. for both of them. but for both of this this cant happen. they cant allow it...right?
i am glad i came to this book first actually. because i think i wouldn't have approved of the guy Zac was before this. and i didnt hold any biases. which means i could just see the work he was doing and appreciated it so much more. because i dont like frat idiots and for me its a trope excuse for a sh**y guy sometimes. but when done well it can work really well and this was just that. he really did do the work.
Tabitha was a brilliant gal. she had so much she needed to heal from in her own life. not least letting herself be free to do the things that truly bring her joy.
together these too are a real joy to watch grow both in their own ways and together.
the climbing and adventure element was also a new one for me and i really enjoyed reading those parts too.
i thoroughly enjoyed this book. like so much. and i want to go to read the others and the future ones. i think i have a clue as to who the next one will be about and if im right then i REALLY want to read that one!

Okay, so Love on a Ledge by K.L. Parsons was such a fun and emotional read. It’s about Tabitha, a former pro climber who’s now a sports journalist, and she ends up back in her hometown to cover a story—only to run into her ex, Zac, who’s leading the climbing trip. Awkward, right?

But honestly, the chemistry between them is so good, and the way they have to work through their past while literally climbing mountains makes the story really engaging. It’s got a great mix of adventure, banter, and some genuinely touching moments. If you like second-chance romances with a little adrenaline and a lot of heart, definitely check this one out. I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you NetGalley, Victory Editing and K.L. Parsons for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Tabitha, a former professional climber turned journalist is given a ultimatum by her boss: write an amazing spread for the magazine or lose her job in the midst of company downsizing. Tabitha's assignment is to experience some of the guided climbs by Off the Beaten Adventures and then write about them.

Along with Lark, the bubbly photographer who grew on me throughout the book, Tabitha heads to Leavenworth. Where she comes across Zac, the adventure guide, who happens to be an ex from many years ago. They both have unresolved feelings which come to a head during one of their excursions.

This book is told with flashbacks to Tabitha and Zac's previous relationship mixed in with the current story.

In the prior books, Zac was billed as a manwhore (which isn't my favorite MMC trait) and I really didn't like him after Frankie's book. Basically, Zac had a lot of work to do to win the reader over.

After reading this book, I still don't love Zac, but I do like him and I'm happy he got his HEA. He does show a ton of character growth throughout the book; changes his former playboy ways, not just for Tabitha, but even before they get together.

I really enjoyed Tabitha's character. She lives a very regimented life, courtesy of being a professional athlete and her overbearing parents. A few years ago, she stopped climbing altogether, which negatively impacted her on many levels, including her job performance (hence having to go on this trip to save her job). She learns to let loose a little and do things that she enjoys, even if they're "bad" for her. Seriously, who can resist onion rings?

Looks like the next book in this series is Todd's, and I'm looking forward to that because I've loved him in all the books so far. I'm really hoping Lark gets her HEA after that...

This adventure romance series has been so fun to read. K. L. Parsons is definitely an author you don’t want to skip. The characters are ALL so lovable. The tension and banter written into this 3rd book of the series was probably the best out of all 3 books.

Tabitha and Zac have an amazing story in my opinion. And Lark! Holy moly! You will love Lark. She had me cackling so much in this book. Definitely need more of her.

Low to medium spice

I highly recommend the whole series. And the covers are drool worthy so I bought all 3 physical copies! Add this to your TBR!

—ARC Review from NetGalley—

I hadn’t heard of K.L. Parsons before getting Love on a Ledge from NetGalley. So after getting the ARC, I had to go and read the first two books in the series and I devoured all three books in under a week.

I went into these books with a love of the town of Leavenworth already. Yes! It’s a real town in Washington and it’s also real freaking cute… if you didn’t already know!My family visits a couple times every year. My read prior to this was a book based in Seattle from writers who clearly don’t know the area and all of the setting inaccuracies were infuriating. So reading a book about a favorite spot written by a local who clearly knows the area, writes it accurately, and gives the books an authentic PNW vibe, was a breath of fresh air (unintentional pun considering the outdoor adventure aspect of the books).

After seeing Zac’s character in the first two books and the limited view of his childish and player-like personality there, I was curious how his character would evolve into a more likable MMC in this book. The second book sets up his story well for changing his ways (but this can definitely still be read as a standalone). Zac is giving me all of the “Carry You Home” by Alex Warren vibes in this book. The slow burn between Tabby and Zac is delicious.

I hope I can run into K.L. Parsons at a local book event soon just to say hi and I can’t wait to see what where we visit next after Leavenworth.

PS - I loved seeing all my favorite Leavenworth people in this book too for just a glimpse of how their lives were going. I’m super invested in Lark and Clint (from book 2) as characters. I need their stories too!

Rating: 5/5 (for this book and the entire series actually)
Spice: 2/5

Second chance, previous playboy, found family, & kind of a sport romance?? Such a unique concept that was well explained and approachable for someone who’s never once climbed but loves hiking/the outdoors.

Tabitha & Zac come together by chance after 16 years for a second time and just like the first time, sparks fly. But 16 years apart??? Can we talk about that?! Like, that’s a whole lifetime. Idk if I could do it, especially after only a few weeks of a whirlwind romance.

But with chemistry as off the charts as theirs, it’s no surprise that they end up struggling to stay away from each other, despite it being way smarter for both of their careers to stay apart.

I always have a soft spot for an MMC trying to change his ways and show the people around him that he’s grown, so Zac tugged on my heart strings from the very beginning. He gets there eventually:

“I wasn’t trying to protect your future.” His pensive sigh expanded his broad chest, his breath released in stutters. As though he was about to break. “I was trying to protect my heart.”

The emotional growth 😭👏

A few things I loved:
* The setting 🌲🧗‍♀️
* Women doing cool stuff outdoors
* Lark 📸
* Letting toxic family members go and setting boundaries
* Tabby cat 🐈‍⬛

I felt like the family issues they both had could’ve been expanded on a bit more. You get the gist of it, but it’s all a bit vague. I love me some found family so even more of it would’ve been the cherry on top 🍒

The only reason this wasn’t a 4 star + for me was that some strings felt like they could’ve been tied up a little bit better but nothing detrimental to the plot. Some pacing stuff and a few little pet peeves (overuse of some words: ie husky, raspy) but still a great read.

The characters from the previous books that were mentioned have me wanting to go back and read their stories too! Definitely not leaving the Leavenworth world just yet and I can’t wait to see how it all ties together.

The Basics:
Adventure Guide🏕️//Journalist/Climber 🧗‍♀️
3rd Person Dual POV
Third book in the “Stranded in Leavenworth” series, but can be read as a standalone
🌶️🌶️.5/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5


Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the ARC in exchange for an honest review 🤍

This was a perfect #3 in a series. I don't remember much about the first two stories, but while reading this one, I liked the characters and their determination to get their lives back on track. It felt hopeful. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I just finished a great book. Love on a Ledge by KL Parsons is out this summer. Pick it up! This is one you won’t want to miss!
