BUCK

I want two things in life: a woman and a child.
When I walk into the diner and see Rosie, I think my motherf*cking dreams have come true.
We share one stolen afternoon, but then she’s gone.
Eight months later she shows up at my cabin.
Her belly swollen, her breasts full, and with the face of an angel.
Still, she wants to keep on running.
No way in hell am I letting her go.
It’s not just Rosie that needs my protection––our babies do too.

ROSIE

Arranged marriages may be fine for some girls, but I’m not some girls.
I’m on the run with one goal: avoid my uncle and the plans he has for me.
What starts as a reckless afternoon, suddenly becomes a life tethered to a man I barely know.
I thought a pregnancy would buy my freedom.
But I was wrong.
And my uncle is ready to make someone pay.

Darling You,

BUCKED is a stand alone story that is packed with true love and a man who knows what he wants: his woman. He fights for her like a real mountain man knows how to do!

RATING 4.5 STARS

Bucked: The Mountain Man’s Babies is book #3.5 in The Mountain Man series by Frankie Love. So I am going to have to start by repeating what I think I have said in every single one of these books…I love this series. Yes, it’s instalove, and yes, I love them.

Rosie grew up in a loveless home with her Uncle. She is a virgin and her Uncle is going to sell her to the highest bidder when she turns twenty one. Rosie knows she has to get away and ends up in a tiny town far enough away that she thought she was safe. She took a job in a diner and on her very first day, the most good looking man she has ever seen walks in.

Buck has lived in this mountain town all his life. His mother owns the diner. Buck is a chainsaw artist. Meeting women is not an easy thing here. He’s jealous of his best friend Jax finding love literally on his door step and their beautiful triplets. Jax has what Buck yearns for, a wife to love and children. He’d like to think it was fate that took him to his mother’s diner that day, the day he saw Rosie. He was drawn to her right away. But then the men came looking for her and she was frightened. Buck swears he will protect her. He wants to spend the rest of his life protecting her.

sexy mountain man:

“Standing before Buck, it doesn’t feel like I am being used. Standing before him, I feel like I’m something precious.”

Rosie knows she has to leave. She can’t involve this wonderful man in her mess of a life. But before she leaves, she is going to give him the one thing she has to give, the one thing her Uncle wants, her virginity.

When Rosie disappears Buck is devastated. For eight months he hears nothing. Until that knock on the door, the day Rosie with a belly swollen with a baby, shows up on his doorstep.

adorable twins:

Can he forgive her for disappearing? Are they safe from her Uncle or will he find her again? This is short, sweet, hot, and wonderful. Rosie and Buck were perfect. I can’t wait for the next book, #3.6, Mistletoe Mountain.

3.75 CRAZY HOT STARS

Please don't let the weird cover stop you from reading this HOT and quick story about a mountain man and his ONE.


In this story we have a hero named Buck, a completely home grown mountain man, coming into town one day and finding his mother's diner has a new HOT employee named Rosie.

description

He sees her and thinks
"Fuck, my cock is twitching at the sight before me, and I want to know everything about this girl. Her name. Where she comes from. If she just fell from fucking heaven because I swear she looks like an angel. I know that’s as cheesy as hell, but damn, this girl just made it real."

OH MAN....self fan!

description

Now what's a good story without a little drama to spice things up and keep you on your toes. Now this part I am more fuzzy on and this is where I felt left out to sea. The heroine Rosie lies to Buck about her past and her experience.
I DON'T LIKE LYING, AT ALL!
Anyways, so her past caught up with her and she decided to go back from where she came from.
STUPID AND DUMB MOVE HERE!

description

When she finally discover that she is going to have his babies and what this will mean to her, she runs away as soon as possible. She runs back to her strong mountain man, her Buck!

description

Seriously now I will say no more about the plot here. You must read for yourself!
Personally, I must say that I enjoyed this story way more than I thought possible.
Brilliant and engaging.

I would recommend this book to those who enjoy stories about strong alphas who fall in insta-love with their one and protects their woman and babies.
JUST GREAT!
KEEPER!
Worth a read and a reread.
Safety is perfect without any cheating or drama and condoms.

Honestly the story was pretty cringeworthy. Plus I didn’t connect with either character or feel any chemistry between them.

This has the insta-love feel of an Alexa Riley book, but I didn't enjoy it as much. Its a quick read and if you love AR, you will probably at least enjoy this.

Seriously, how could I not give this a shot when it has a cover like that? I literally can't stop giggling.

The story itself was not bad, but it was basically an insta-love porno. It could be the bare bones of a pretty interesting story. I wouldn't really recommend it, though. It was kind of a pointless read.

Well..that was exactly what I expected!
Insta love- Insta sex- safe- babies- HEA. Add in some mobsters and a runaway heroine, youve got this book with a weirdly sexy cover.
I mean..did i want more? yeah. But also, im in another book's post-gasm phase so my judgement is clouded.
Safe read
3/5

I'd like to go to the mountain where all these men are - except my luck I'd get the ugly lumberjack with one front tooth who would keep me in a box under his bed. Yikes!!

These books are really cheesy and parts are super funny. This one wasn't as great as the first one because they only had sex twice. Boooooo.

Rosie (21, virgin) has run away from her Russian mob uncle who's trying to sell her for her virginity. She ends up working at a diner in a small town.

The only thing Buck (mountain man) wants is a wife and kids. He's super jealous of Jax and Harper (previous book). He heads out to eat at his mom's diner and spies a hot little pie slinger and duh - he wants her for his wife!!!! Before he can put the moves on her, Russian bad guys roll up and try to snatch her. Obviously Buck chases them off because he's a "mountain man". To celebrate his manliness, he takes Rosie into the restroom and takes her virginity!!! Good times!

Well yada yada and Rosie ends up back with her uncle. When it's discovered that she's pregnant, her uncle plans to sell the babies instead. She makes her move to escape when she's 8 months along. Buck is super surprised and elated when a pregnant Rosie shows up on his doorstep. Anyway - HEA.

There were some cheesy laughs at the beginning, but then it was just meh. This one is super short with not a lot of sex, but you get to hear the special delivery - which I always like.

It's fluffy and ridiculous. If you want something to cheer you up, this will work. Well - that's if you listen to the audio because of Joe Arden. Yum

Well.. that was not a book I liked.

Flat, “weak”characters, insta-love (an hour, really?😳), rushed writing and no depth in the storyline or character building whatsoever.
I honestly felt entirely numb reading this.
And the “mountain man- “feeling? Non existing..

Such a sweet story to get you going before the holidays. Short and quick but it does have everything mafia,on the run and unprotected sex. The hero is just that an Alpha hero who protects his women but before telling her that she is taken back only to show back up months later with his children.

-Dude is well endowed. like whoa mama!!! think of inches that will make your head spin endowed (check)
did i miss anything?

i honestly don't know why i still bother with these type of books. They're corny, terribly OTT. i mean the male protagonist in this book took down Russian Mobsters i'm thinking they must not have been really good at their mobster job but still though:MOBSTERS ; dialogue is pretty shitty and it's just a mess. Like, he wasn't even remotely upset that the chick took off and left him for close to 9 months (obvioulsy husband material 1 billion yards). If you're bored and you need to pass time, this is the book for you, just don't expect too much.

I got this for two reasons

➼ I read there was a birth scene 😳
➼ The breeding kink 🔥

If this was on KU, I would've probably given it a higher rating. It's super short, sweet and has the kinks I like. They would've been a great sorbet-like read in between more serious books. But the price isn't worth it. The writing and plot were too shallow.

Too bad 🤷‍♀️

I really liked Buck, “you think I’d be looking at you like this, like I want to push all these plates off this table and take you right here, right now, if I had a woman at home?” I really liked this book, it was a quick read and Buck was really sexy.

"Bucked: The Mountain Man's Baby: The Mountain Man #4 is by author Frankie Love.
My Rating: 4 Stars!!!!
Publication date: 11/10/16

I'm going to admit this right now. When I saw this cover, there was no way I wasn't going to read this book. Just. No. Way. And then I saw the author's name and it was a win win. I am a big fan of Frankie Love's mountain men. Come on...gorgeous, sexy, tall, broad and bearded. Let's not forget to mention possessive, protective dirty talking heroes.

Buck and Rosie.....

Buck lives by himself in a cabin in the woods. Buck is lonely and wants a woman to love and a family to protect. Unfortunately, of the women in his small town, Buck wants none of them. He hasn't been able to find his special "woman." Not until he meets Rosie at his mom's diner one afternoon. When Buck sees her for the first time he knows she is special. He want her. His protective and possessive instincts instantly arise. Rosie. Is. Mine. Buck was awesome!

Rosie is on the run from her uncle and his depraved plans to marry her off to the highest bidder. Her uncle was a disgusting pile of sh*t, for lack of a better description.

Buck and Rosie have a few precious hours together before she is gone. Nearly nine months later she shows up on his door, desperate, fearful, and exhausted. From that moment the story gets exciting and since this novel is so short, I won't give anything away.

My one complaint is that this sexy, sweet story was too short. At a little over one hundred pages, I was done reading in under two hours. But the good thing is that I know Frankie is working on more. Frankie love has many novellas about her sexy OTT mountain men. So if you love super short, dirty instalove stories, I recommend this author.

The Mountain Man series:
"Claimed By The Mountain Man"
"Ordered By The Mountain Man"
"Wifed By The Mountain Man"
"Bucked"

I know Buck made an appearance in the book Timber which I haven't read but I definitely will be after getting a glimpse of Jaxon and Harper I want to know their story. Buck was such a rugged, manly man but he was also so damn sweet to Rosie and I wish I had my own mountain man. Buck is a total alpha mountain man, he lives in a cabin he built himself in Idaho. He's an artist, he uses a chainsaw to make beautiful sculptures out of wood that he then sells. He hunts in the winter and fishes in the summer. Ever since his best friend, Jaxon settled down with his wife Harper and had triplets Buck has wanted the same thing. Rosie lives in Spokane, Washington with her uncle ever since her parents died. Her uncle is a Russian mob boss who has always treated her like shit. Making her feel as if she doesn't deserve to be happy or have a good life. Now that she's 21 years old he plans to auction her off to the highest bidder. She's still a virgin so he's positive she'll be sold for a very high price. Desperate and afraid she decides to run away and she ends up in a small town in Idaho. She goes to the only diner in town to apply for a job and she gets the job right away. The diner is owned by Buck's mom, Cherri and when an emergency comes up she leaves Rosie alone to run the diner. When Buck comes to the diner for lunch he and Rosie are immediately attracted to each other. She decides if she gives her virginity to Buck then her uncle won't be able to sell her anymore because she'll be tainted.

I knew what I was getting into when I read the description for this book. I can even stand it being a bit over the top and cheesy, I mean we all know books like this will include those aspects. But what I didn't like was how spans of time were just skipped.

I get the time lapse while she is pregnant. But, what I didn't like was after/during childbirth when Buck and Jax are fighting the mafia( I know cheesy eye roll) they are able to adequately take on people who kill for a living like it's nothing. Not only that it's a jarring transition from them in the middle of battle, ambulance shows up, then all of a sudden cut to a year later?!?

I get this is a short book, but that was just too jarring of a jump when we are in the middle of a perceived tense situation. I wanted resolution to that scene before we jump to a epilogue a year later.

Other than that this was ok, nothing to get excited about, just a quick ok book to read.

If there is one thing Frankie Love does well it's write hot mountain men that love hard.

Buck is the latest mountain man from Frankie and what a man he is. Buck and Rosie are super, super HOT! Prepare yourself for quick, raw, ruthless and dirty. Because that's what you get from these two.

Bucked is a ridiculously hot, fast and sexy. If you want a book with an overprotective alpha, hot sex and an instant connection then READ THIS BOOK!

JUST NO! I am soooo not okay with h lying to H the first time they have sex, telling him she is on birth control when she is definitely NOT. That is wrong on so many levels to purposely deceive a man like that! And, of course she gets pregnant, ugh.

“I’m on the pill and I’m clean. There is nothing to worry about.”

That's absolutely inexcusable and I'm DISGUSTED.

This book was a whirlwind. Buck walks into his parents diner and meets Rosy who was left by herself on her first day as a waitress. Buck chases two Russians in a black sedan who are apparently after Rosy away. As a thank you, Rosy gives her v card to Buck as a thank you and then runs away to the people who are after her so they don’t hurt Buck. Turns out she’s pregnant…..with twins…..and so her uncle doesn’t sell them she runs away back to Buck to surprise him with the babies and for him to keep her safe and Rosy instantly goes into labor and gives birth in his living room. Right after she gives birth the Russian mob shows up at Buck’s house to take Rosy and the babies back. Then the Mountain Men (Buck and his brother) chase off the mob by incapacitating them instantly until the police arrived.

This whole story happened in less than 2 hours on audio….136 pages in paper. It was like a ride at Disney….big climax at the end and over in 10 minutes. It was a good bare bones story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars.

This story was fast paced, with enough details to keep you turning the pages. This story has the Mafia, a damsel and a hero. Frankie brought all the essence of love, heartbreak, danger, hope and faith. A true love at first sight book that will give you a shock to your libido.

With a protective, hot and sexy mountain man yearning for the same as any man. He wants love, a wife and a family. Love gets you when you least expect it, but when it hits, it hits hard and when it hits a man like Buck, well let's just say, he's a lot of man.

Rosie is running on borrowed time and she knows it. Finding herself in this small town, she learns quickly she has never met people like who live in this town. She's left to man the diner on her first day working so her boss could help her husband coral their dogs. When someone comes through the door, she is met with the most gorgeous specimen of a man she has ever seen in her life.

Every page filled me with anticipation of what will happen. Though short, this read packed a powerful punch with the flow, the danger and of course something steamy.
