2021 re-listen: What I said last time. This is a good time for "comfort food." Plus, Tate. Sorry. Can't help myself.

2019: Sometimes, you just have to get back to the tried and true. I can always count on Kristen Ashley to keep me entertained. The Colorado Mountain series is like comfort food. Plus...Tate! One of my favs in the series.

2018 review: Wow. It's been three years since I originally read this book. This time around, I listened to it on audio book. Emma Taylor, the narrator, does an excellent job with the male voices and she gives terrific characterizations to all the females as well.

This is the story of a suburban divorcee looking for peace. She finds it in the most unlikely of places--a small mountain town in Colorado that has more motorcycle shops than grocery stores and one bar--that caters to bikers. Forty-two year old Lauren checks into the local motel that isn't all that but it is clean, has flowers and a sparkling pool, and walks into the bar to apply for a job.

Hop onto the emotional rollercoaster because it gets crazy from there.

I wish I could figure out how Ms. Ashley does it. I hate "this is now and oh by the way, I'm going to sum up the past three weeks in this long narrative" followed by a return to the present. Except I DON'T hate it when she does it. She just makes it work. Beautifully. *scratches head* She has a gift. I enjoy her older characters and I appreciate that her characters act like adults. They get mad over stupid stuff. They get made over important stuff. But they talk. They think. They work things out. Her males are all alpha in all the ways that might rub some people the wrong way. I'm a strong, independent woman and I adore her alpha males. (See my previous review re: Tate.) Even with the secrets Tate held back, I still fell for him. I'll admit, though, that I might have strangled him if he was mine.

[Original 2015 review] I have one word for this book: Tate. Best new book boyfriend of the year. And Lauren was awesome. They're good together. I'm jealous. Because...TATE! *fans face* ...more
