This review is from: Slippery Slopes: Chalet Girls (Mass Market Paperback)

In the first CHALET GIRLS novel, Melissa, Harley, and Dove were just getting to know each other, getting used to their new living arrangements and trying to find comfort with their job positions, all the while trying to fit in some room for a little fun. The girls are back, this time with their friendship on the line.

Can they handle any more secrets, when they involve betrayal?

Melissa went from having her heart set on one guy, JMB, to having it split between JMB and Gabe, who aren't even talking to her right now. With the thought that she is done with boys, Melissa knows that her idea will never stick, especially since she gets a queasy feeling when she sees JMB and Gabe flirting with other girls.

Dove is facing the same situation. Her heart is definitely for her boyfriend, William, who is all the way on the Island of Nevis. But then part of that heart goes to Max, who Dove just so happens to meet at Les Trois. It's a good thing that William and Max do not know each other and live in different parts of the world. The only way out for Dove is to escape her problems -- that is, if she could.

Harley is leaving Les Trois and going to the Island of Nevis, the same Island where Dove's boyfriend lives. Dove isn't so sure if she could trust Harley with her boyfriend there, but what's the coincidence of them meeting? While meeting new boys, and a special someone, Harley finds secrets from Dove's past and tries everything to keep in touch with Melissa and Dove. If only they would answer, but can they even trust her?

It's Holiday Week at Les Trois, and while things get chillier, the girls' love lives are getting steamier. This is one installment you do not want to miss.
