Review:
Oh what a tasty tale to read!
Who doesn’t love a burly, rough-around-the-edges mountain man – especially one with loyalty and devotion, oozing with masculinity? Kane is the epitome of alpha male, and I loved everything about him, even his flaws. He had his struggles, and he what a time he had dealing with them, but underneath all his toughness was someone just so loveable, I couldn’t help but smile. Of course he tried to always play the villain, but this gruffness was no match for the witty, chit-chattery charm of Quinn. I loved Quinn and all her quirkiness. Her devotion to her father, her refusal to let life get her down, her determination to get what she wanted – all qualities to be admired. She didn’t believe in BS, nor did she accept it from others. There was nothing cliche about these characters, and I was intrigued from the introduction.
The book held a steady pace, and the flow of the story and connection between the lovers will make readers forget just how long – or short – they’d actually known each other. The relationship developed so smoothly it seemed so natural and real. The secondary characters played their parts beautifully.
Riley threw in a little suspense, and lotta family love, and one helluva grandmother to create a story well worth its time to publish. I plan to read the first installment in the series, and I’m hoping there’ll be more.
Rating system: Cups of coffee – the less the better
0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.

Lia Riley writes offbeat
New Adult and Contemporary Adult romance. After studying at the University of
Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world armed only with a backpack,
overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka
with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in
Chile and swilling XXXX with stationhands in Outback Australia among her
accomplishments.
A British literature fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward
Rochester as her fictional boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn’t mind.
Much. When not torturing heroes (because c’mon, who doesn’t love a good
tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about
future books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip.
Right now, Icelandic hot springs and Scottish castles sound mighty
fine.
