From The Top is the second instalment of the Blue Spruce Lodge series published by Tule Publishing. Written by Dani Collins, this book sees Ilke Lunquist, a professional skier, and Nate Hart have a brief fling. Ilke returns to Whisky Jack Ski Resort several months later, pregnant and in need of financial help as she has lost her ski sponsorships as she can no longer compete. Nate already has a little boy with his ex wife and doesn't anticipate having any more children whilst Ilke is struggling to come to terms the changes a new baby will bring to her life. Both characters have issues they have to overcome before they can build a future and family together.
From The Top isn't a light and fluffy romance but explores more serious themes such as Ilke's experience of sexual harassment when she was just a teenager, the expectation that Ilke would be expected to give up her skiing career to care for the baby and Nate's struggles as a single father juggling a demanding job.
