Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a short steamy and romantic novella surrounding Luke and his girl Jasmine.
It's a short trip in a rain storm to capture photographs for a boss who won't quit harassing her, and Luke a charm boat rescuing her for these two to fall in love.
I loved it - the steam, romance, and the likeable characters themselves -we also get introduced to Leo and his girl too (playing with fire -leo and his girl's story). Hope Fern continues to write more!
Until the next read,

When Jaz is told by her boss to photograph a rare bird or she'll lose her job she heads to the outdoors. But Jaz isn't an outdoor kind of girl and ends up lost during a storm. Luke a tour guide/firefighter comes to her rescue and things take a steamy turn as they are stranded together overnight. This is a fast paced read with likable characters and a great ending.

Luke, a jack of all trades is working as a tour guide for the Pink Collar Temp Agency when his sister calls to help a friend he meets Jaz and is instantly obsessed. I love how everything falls into place and how they find happiness in Pearl Springs. I love that Luke is Leo's brother from Playing with Fire, and how these brothers immediately find their happily ever after.

Jaz has a high maintenance demanding boss who has tasked her with photographing a rare bird so when one of her best friends arranges for her brother Luke to slip her on one of his mountain’s tours, she can’t believe her luck. But when he warns her there is a bad storm coming and she needs to be quick she doesn’t heed his warning she fears that this could be the end only to be rescued by Luke himself. Finding shelter for the night they learn how much they have in common, and Jaz suddenly finds herself thinking of happy ever after that is until he sees a stunning redhaired woman in his arms kissing him, Could Jaz have got Luke so wrong or is there more to this story than meets the eye?
Luke had no idea what he was getting himself into when he agreed to help his sisters friend but the moment he meets Jaz he knows that his life will never be the same, she is meant to be his but when she doesn’t return from taking the photographs she needs for her latest assignment and the storm he warned Jaz about is about to descend faster than he forecast will he make to her in time before she gets hurt and when they arrive at the shelter will he be able to hide his feelings for this woman who has turned his world upside down?
This was a great quick read although there were obviously parts of this book that related to other books by the author that I haven’t read so that was a little off putting but Jaz and Luke are great characters with fantastic chemistry. 4* Read

The wild life of Colorado
Stranded with the Tour Guide by Fern Fraser is part of the multi-author Pink Collar Temp Agency series. For me this story was a bit confusing at times as to some of the details. It is still a sweet and very steamy hot and wet story which is about Jaz, a photographer who lives in LA and works for a company as an assignment photographer. Her latest assignment is to photograph the Sage Grouse, a rare bird in the Colorado wilderness. She may not be outdoorsy herself but she ends up tagging along on a hiking tour led by Luke, her best friend Rebecca's brother. Luke is a man of many talents and skills and uses them to take tours hiking in the Colorado wilderness. When his sister Rebecca phoned and asked for a favor he could not refuse. What he was expecting is not exactly what showed up though and he soon finds himself thinking of some very wild and naughty things he would like to do. Add in a fast approaching and torrential storm, stranded in the mud, a forest rangers cabin and some wet clothes....well you get the idea.

Fern Fraser kicks off a brand new multi-author series, the Pink Collar Temp Agency, with the sweet and steamy Stranded with the Tour Guide. Jaz is a photojournalist and when she needs to get pictures of a bird found only in the Colorado mountains, a friend arranges for her to join her brother's tour. Luke is a volunteer fire fighter and a med student, as well as a tour guide. He grudgingly agrees to help out his sister's friend - until he lays eyes on the beautiful Jasmine. When a storm strands them together for a night in the mountains, Luke becomes determined to keep Jaz with him in Pearl Springs. Will one night convince Jaz to pick up her life, or will this be nothing more than a passionate fling?
A fast-paced, sexy, steamy and engaging short romance, Ms Fraser's Stranded with the Tour Guide is the perfect kick off to this brand new series!

This book is a part of the Pink Collar Temp Agency series and focuses on Luke and Jaz. Jaz is a photographer who was tasked with getting pictures of a rare bird. Jaz’s friend has a brother, Luke, who is a tour guide in the area she is needing to go so she gets it arranged to where her brother takes Jaz where she needs to go for the pictures. When they see each other there is an instant attraction and the connection between them grows quickly, especially when they are forced to spend the night in a cabin due to bad storms. They fall hard and fast for each other and find a way to have such a great HEA. I love how supportive Luke was about Jaz’ dreams and encouraged her to do what would make her happy in life. They were the perfect balance for each other. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

Sometimes asking for help can lead you to love.
I really liked this short story. It was inspirational, entertaining, and enjoyable. The characters were easy to relate to and likable for the most part. Martin was so much more than lame and deserved some big time comeuppance for his actions. Jasmine (Jaz) was out of her element with regards to a new job that she had taken. She needed help but wasn’t sure what to do so she reached out to her friend Rebecca. Luke was Rebecca’s brother and as a favor to his sister, he agreed to help Jaz. There was some drama and angst but it resolved quickly. Luke was very supportive and definitely a positive thinker which helped Jaz make choices that were better for her (and him!) in the long run. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.

*spoilers* Jaz has to take a picture of a special bird and fast, otherwise she is in danger to lose her job. Her friends connects her with her brother Luke, who is a tour guide. Thes have an immediate attraction, which leads Luke to give in to Jaz, to go quickly on herself to take the picture, while he leads the others back to the bus due to an upcoming storm. Then he has to rescue Jaz...
I already read the book with his twin brother Leo and this also was romantic and chemistry between Luke and Jaz. She was so different than what he expected from a big city photographer and he loved her curves.

Wow! This was hot and steamy and so sweet and loving. Jaz was sent to take photos of a rare bird in the mountains. Her friend arranged for her brother Luke to be her mountain guide. As soon as Luke saw Jaz he felt an immediate connection. When she got lost in a storm he rescued her and kept her safe. Their chemistry was fantastic. Jaz was nervous to commit but knew she loved Luke. There was a misunderstanding that was quickly resolved but showed Jaz she never wanted to let Luke go! Like Luke was ever going to let that happen!!! Wonderfully written instalove romance with a fabulous HEA .

Jaz is a photographer who is sent on assignment to Colorado to get a picture of a rare bird called a Sage Grouse. It turns out her best friend Rebecca is from the area. Her brother Luke is a tour guide and can get Jaz on the tour bus to the area where the Sage Grouse lives.
Everything is going well until a storm strands Jaz and Luke in a ranger’s station together over night.
Will Jaz get her photos and go back to her old life? Will something happen between Jaz and Luke when they are stranded?
Cute short story.

A good love story
Enjoyed reading the love story between Jaz and Luke. Jaz was a photographer and worked with a very bad boss. He'd send her on photography missions. Then tell her she missed the deadline saying she owed him for the loss. She was sent out to get a picture of a certain bird. Her friends brother was a tour guide in the area, that's how she met Luke. It was fun reading about the tour, impending storm and what she had packed in her backpack. Getting caught in the storm was something too. It's a good story. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Written by Cindy :)

A short and steamy romance about Jasmine and her friend’s younger brother Luke. When Jax needs to photograph some wildlife for her job, her friends arranged for Luke to be her guide. A storm rolls in while she’s separated from the group and Luke comes to her rescue. They are stuck over night waiting for the storm to pass. Luke knows he wants Jax to be his forever, but will Jaz be willing to move for love? There’s a twist with her job I didn’t expect. The ending of this book was especially sweet. Luke is definitely a swoon worthy H looking to woo his woman.

Jazz’s boss sends her to find pictures of a rare bird that are needed for a client. She lucks out in that her best friend knows where to find these birds and offers her brother to Jaz as her tour guide. Luke is immediately attracted to Jaz and when she shares her work with him he convinces her that she is talented and should should follow her dreams. This was a quick read with an engaging storyline. Jaz is hardworking and wants to be the best she can be but her job is taking its toll. Luke is a sweetheart and is supportive in what Jaz wants to do. These two have undeniable chemistry that sizzles off the page. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book is part of the multi author Pink Collar Temp Agency series. Jaz and Luke have an instant attraction when they meet. She is on a mission to get that perfect picture. There is a lot riding on the line. Luke is a firefighter who leads tours in the area. Mother nature gives them some alone time and those sparks of attraction ignite. It is a good, fast paced, sweet yet steamy romance. .

A storm strands them overnight and that is all that is needed to spark the attraction into more. An apology call gives a great opportunity to Jaz and even better she can stay with the guy she's fallen for. I like how the fates seem to want this couple together.

This was my favorite Fern Fraser story ever. It was a wonderful forced proximity romance with a perfect balance of story and steamy times. Luke and Jaz had great chemistry and I felt like I really got to know them. The story only had a tiny bit of drama which was actually kind of funny. I loved it both story and cover.

Wonderful chemistry with these characters, and enjoyed the connection with the previous book done by the author to attach the link so effortlessly. Loved the realization of believing in yourself and all your hard work and desires come to fruition. Cute ending which peaks to my interest in hearing about her friend Lucy and her story.

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review. Great when you're looking for a short and easy to read steamy low angst romance. It's insta attraction and things do move fast but there is still enough of a storyline to keep it interesting. Loved the flow of the story and the epilogue was just so sweet.

This is book 1 in Pink Color Temp Agency. This is a story for Jaz and Luke. This one is just so cute. I loved this book from the first meeting of Jaz and Luke to the end of this book. Dreams do come true if you believe in them enough or have a go getter for a lover to help you see the dream.

Luke and Jaz, each talented individuals on their own, become even better when they are together. Even though it brings a dangerous storm to speed things up a bit, their strong attraction is immediate when they first meet. Their differences support each other well and make this a sweet, enjoyable read.
