Dangerous Passion

by Jayne Bauling

Published 1987187 pagesISBN 978-0-3731-1007-0

Her rival was a mountain. When Renata Armstrong met Grant Fowler in Nepal, she was overwhelmed by his honest approach. "We both know what's happening here—we're going to be lovers and probably get married." Still numb from the loss of her father, brother and boyfriend in a mountaineering accident, Renata was finally ready to love again—until she discovered that Grant was in Nepal to climb Everest. She had vowed never to let another climber in her life. But it was too late. And once again the mountains threatened to keep Renata from a man she loved....

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.

Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
  2. How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
  3. Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
