Book Blurb:
What happens when you’re snowed in on a mountain ranch, with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about?
I’ve always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl.
Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan.
Only, I didn’t count on him. Colton Wilder. The cowboy nearly twice my age.
He’s my dream man. One who takes care of me, gives me a job, and makes my pulse thud harder every time he comes near.
My ex-boyfriend’s father.
The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we’re both inching closer to a line we shouldn’t cross.
Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes.
It’s tempting to forget about being the good girl for once.
No one would find out. Would they?
My Thoughts:
This is my first time reading a book by this author, Elliott Rose, and I will definitely be reading more by her. Actually, I don’t know what took me so long to discover her. Her writing style reminds me a bit of Carian Cole, another author that I am fond of.
There are several things that made this book hit me just right. To begin with, I’m a sucker for age-gap and grumpy/sunshine troupes. This story had that going for it before I read past the first chapter. Combine these things with great characters that had depth, a healthy dose of spice and a beautifully written story and just wow. I stayed up late to finish and I’m still thinking about this one. Yeah, it was that good.
I highly recommend; especially, if you have read and liked any of these books: Birthday Girl, Don’t Kiss the Bride and Older. Note, there are a few triggers, so be sure to read the warnings.
