Genre: Romantic suspense
Release date: June 14, 2019
Leah Kettridge’s writing career is over before the first book lands on the shelf, when a famous author has claimed she’s stolen his work. If it wasn’t for a story brainstorming luncheon with her sister, he’d have never overheard her conversation about the novel she was writing. Who will she ever trust again if not her most favorite writer? And what about the one fabulous date they had before she knew what a traitor he was?
Keenan Brinner has it all. He’s a best-selling author who’s only headed toward more greatness. And he must be the most gorgeous guy Leah’s ever seen. But he’s also a liar and a cheat.
When they end up at the same cabin to write, emotions explode. But an unexpected snowstorm traps them deep in the mountains. Is he bent on destroying her in more ways than one? How will love find them amidst all their anger and distrust?

My Thoughts:
First, this cover is gorgeous. I fell in love which means I had to read the book. Anyone else like this? A sucker for a great cover? I’m so thankful that most of the time the book lives up to the cover.
Second. The author is named Erin. This is my name. Thus, anything by the said person must be good right? I mean Erin is such a gorgeous name it stands to reason that having such a name means you’re an awesome and amazing writer.
But really, this was an intriguing story. I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t so fast paced or enthralling/captivating that I couldn’t set the book down, but I did want to finish it. I pretty much knew what the outcome was going to be after the first few chapters but there were some fun little twists thrown in there that I found cute.
Definitely a good author. I’ll be watching to see what else she writes in the future. I can relate to the main character as I have had some of my own original ideas “stolen”. For me, it wasn’t a big deal but for an entire book to be taken would be huge!
I give this a four out of five. Characters were well developed. I loved being stuck in a cabin without power. Maybe I’m weird but my dream is to actually be self-sufficient and off-grid so I would take that as a wonderful challenge.
So, give this a read. You’ll like it. It wouldn’t be one I’d keep on my shelf to read over and over, but really I don’t find many of those anymore. Nothing really compares to Anne of Green Gables in my world. Also, my other scoring system is whether I would let my teenage daughter read it. For now, that would be a no. Not due to any language or anything, but just because I don’t think it’s one that I would be pushing her to read. It doesn’t have any huge teachable moments to me and isn’t overtly Christian.
In conclusion, a good read, awesome name of an author, not a suspenseful keep you reading type book, but a nice romance. Four out of five stars but not recommended for teenagers/young minds. Good lose yourself for a while read in the middle of a thunderstorm at night though.

About the Author of The Cabin
Erin Unger was raised in the hills of Virginia, exploring abandoned houses and reading the scariest books she could find. After marrying so young it would make a great romance novel, she has enjoyed an exciting life with her hubby. But her fast-paced life sometimes rivals the suspense in her books thanks to all her mostly grown children and a couple of grandkids. Her next novel, Fateful Fall, releases August 9, 2019.
More from Erin
Glittery snow. The perfect cabin in the mountains. And sworn enemies trapped together. How could anything go wrong?
Welcome to the cabin where writers like to go to get away from the noise and bother of life to write. I hope you don’t mind the two guests already here. They’re stuck together after one stole the other’s novel. But the famous one has first rights to the work. Who’d dare believe he’d be the perpetrator of the crime? Or is it the newbie writer who longed to be known for more than her graphic designs who plagiarized?
Stay and enjoy a mug of instant coffee and some potted meat. And make sure to bring in your warmest blanket, since this eclectic home has lost power in the storm.
You’ll also find a complementary cordless phone with no connection for your accommodations.
Enjoy your stay! And take a moment to check out our amenities folder laden with an expert below.
Read an excerpt from The Cabin
Betrayal is such a benign looking word on paper. In real life, it could kill a person. Like me. I was dying on the inside as I flipped from one page to the next of the bestselling novel in my hands. And all because of Keenan Brennan—the hottest bestselling author I knew and dated some time ago. Yet some part of me kept praying it wasn’t true as I pressed into the sofa cushion and continued to read.
It just couldn’t be.
But the book with the startlingly dark cover said it all.
“No, no, no.”
Hot tears stung my cheeks as I ripped the well-designed cover off the book and then launched it across the living room. It smashed against the refurbished brick wall and landed with its pages bent. Good. It deserved a worse fate than just bent pages.
How? When had he stolen my book idea?
I face-planted my palm against my forehead. “At the restaurant.”
Why didn’t I keep my big fat mouth shut and tell my sister Aeris the storyline in the privacy of my home? Tears stung my eyes. Who’d have guessed my lowdown almost boyfriend would stoop so low. He didn’t need my work.
I stared across the room, not focusing on the heap of a good—terrible—book. Well, it was on the NYT bestselling list. Not bad for a nobody writer like myself. And since it was my story—not his—then I allowed myself a moment of self-satisfaction.
My gaze dropped to the torn book. I had to take another look. Couldn’t it be a coincidence? Maybe the rest of it was different. In a scramble, I grabbed it up and found the page I last read.
By chapter forty there was no doubt.
