Emelie
Who leaves their girlfriend in the woods after a fight?
My now EX-boyfriend that’s who. One fight, okay a BIG fight because I found out he was cheating on me while we were camping and poof! He left me in the words.
So, I start walking to town, only I get turned around end up at the river where I meet Axel. This guy is HUGE. With a storm rolling in I don’t have much choice but to trust him and take shelter in his cabin since I’ve been walking for hours AWAY from town.
Several days of rain wash out the road and it looks like I’m stuck here with my giant. Only he’s nothing like I thought he’d be. He’s quiet, watchful, smart, and funny.
Axel
I’ve lived alone for years and I’ve been okay with that until one day she finds me bathing at the river.
She is small, cute, and talks a lot. I find I don’t mind it. When the storm washes out the only road into town and she is stranded with me a while longer only I am grateful for more time with her. I like her in my space, I like showing her what I do, and how I survive out here. I like her in my bed. After years of living alone, I find little appeal in it anymore.
When her ex-boyfriend shows up at my door can I convince her to stay?
Can I ask her to give up a life in town for one out here in the mountains with me?
As soon as I saw “mountain man” I was sold. I am a sucker for stories where a woman is lost in the woods and falls for a mountain man and that’s exactly what we got here. But first, can we appreciate the cover!
I do have to say that if insta-love isn’t your thing, then you won’t like this. It’s actually one of my favorites to read. Is it realistic, nope. But I don’t care. I always get swept up in the romance and fast paced of it all.
I really enjoyed Axel and Emelie’s relationship. They were really what each other needed and they fell into a relationship so easily. They both became someone that the other person could count on. Axel has insecurity issues because of his size and Emelie never felt real love. Of course they had chemistry and the sex scenes were pretty hot.
I’m intrigued by this group of men who are all loners in a way and live in the mountains. I’m glad this is a series and we will be getting a story about Phoenix next.
* I received an ARC from Silver Dagger Book Tours for an honest review.

That cover is something to appreciate! This sounds like a fun read. I’m glad it hit the spot for you. I might give it a try if it hits KU.
