Alexia Mitchell, better known as "Lexie," seems to have it all--at least that is what one would think as we are first introduced to her in Mountain High, Valley Low, by Renee Flagler. With an executive job, along with a handsome boyfriend who knows how to hit the spot in all the right places, life is just wonderful for Alexia. Unfortunately, her world comes crashing down when she unexpectedly walks in on her boyfriend doing the wild thing with another woman. Heartbroken, she walks away from the relationship and heads onto a business trip as scheduled. Enter Brian, a young and professional man making moves of his own. He runs into Lexie while they are both out of town on business and is mesmerized by her, but he has his own relationship issues to deal with and also does not want to be anyone's "rebound" man. No matter what he tries to do, he cannot shake away his seemingly nearly psychopathic ex-girlfriend, Shelly, but the chemistry between Lexie and him is undeniable. They form a friendship that turns romantic and they both come to a point where they have to make decisions on whether or not their love for each other can survive the issues they both have to deal with in their own personal lives. Will Lexie go back to her boyfriend who broke her heart after being laid off from her job and a devastating event in her life happens? Will Brian be able to cope with having to deal with Shelly after she comes to him with life altering news? All of this drama--is the love between Lexie and Brian strong enough to make it through the highs and lows? I absolutely loved this book. There were parts of it that had me literally laughing aloud as I was able to actually visualize and make connections with the characters in the story. I definitely give this one two thumbs up as it was a very enjoyable read. Reviewed by Coulee Eidos APOOO BookClub

Except for some grammer errors, I really enjoyed this book. It goes to show that all relationship have problems and either you work through them or you walk away. MHVL was a very good read. Keep up the good work.

I found Reneee Flager to be a very profound author. Her written (novel) is strikingly intense, penetrating, passionate, riveting. Leaving you with spirial of emotions. She is humorous and exciting in her well written Mountain High Valley Low . Mountain High Valley Low is a must read for anyone looking for a three sided story that speaks about relationships and life complexity inside and out. Waiting for this author's next title will have me intensely waiting.
