Rugged Mountain Ink: Waylon Family Ranch #6
Mail Order Mountain Man
Can this curvy young woman find love with an older Mail Order Mountain Man?
Cole
Why did I sign up for a mail order marriage service… no idea.
Has it ever been successful in the past… probably not.
Will this mystery woman be the one to complete my mountain portrait?
I'm not sure until I meet, Junie.
She’s curvy, wild, and sweet.
Trouble is, she's way too young and when I find out who her daddy is I'm in more trouble than I thought.
Junie
Can men be ordered, like a slab of meat?
Apparently, they can.
So, what self-respecting twenty-four-year-old wouldn't do it?
But what recipe should I order?
Turns out my signature blend is a little on the dominate side.
And I could use a wild taming.
Dear Readers, This is an age-gap romance with loads of steam! As always this title comes with Khloe's "Easy Escape Seal', a no cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA guarantee.

Matched by an online mail order marriage service, Cole (H45) and Junie (h24) have a brief window to get to know one another and get married or call it quits per the terms of the service. Things are little rough to start with nut the pair find themselves drawn to one another and even though Cole is just he kind of man Junie has been looking for, things hit a snag when it becomes clear that Junie’s father is Cole’s boss, and he has some firm ideas about his daughters and dating. Things heat up between the in this hot and steamy age gap, mountain man quickie.

The length of a book is no reason for it to be bad.
I was expecting a short, spicy, little romance instead what I got was pure frustration by how inconsistent Junie was with a plot that made absolutely no sense.
The dating sites weird 24hr marriage stipulations aside, The only consistent trait she has was that she was a pathological liar. She’s practically manic and her father is also manic.
She wants to get married and hide it from her father but then she doesn’t want him to disapprove. She lies about her age but is surprised when she’s matched with an older man in the age range she approved.
She calls him crazy but was turned on. She liked every dumb thing he did. Honestly she felt really gaslighty.
We know that the book has no plot or character substance but I wasn’t prepared for how little we get. We get a single conversation for Cole to fall for her and he isn’t even listening to her because he’s in lust with her. Her father is right Cole is a pervert and honestly kind of predator.
Age gaps can be very sweet but Junie gives us absolutely no substance that in order for Cole to be in love with her it’s got to be purely the physicality of a 24yr old.
And her “over protective father” was won over with a SINGLE conversation. It was barley a conversation there wasn’t even resentment. This like warm conversation showed him the error of his ways.
The spice wasn’t even worth it.
My only regret was that I read this book in its entirety

Part of the Waylon Family Ranch (Rugged Mountain Ink) series each can be read as a standalone in under an hour or so with a rugged mountain man and the curvy girl who captures his attention making him believe. But, just as the title says mail order meaning they have a limited time to see if they are a match or compatible. Cole sexy as all get out mountain man, he lonely wants someone who doesn’t mind living way up in the mountains and accepting all that he is but a mail order bride has him questioning his sanity. Junie is a curvy, sassy, has been told she a little wild, but she wants a man who can handle her curves, not try an mold her into what he wants her to be but accepting her for who she is and she is very surprised you can actually order men like you order a meal but will she get matched to the very man that she needs. The moment they meet the attraction is out of this world and the magnetic pull is definitely there and getting to know each other is harder then either of them thought but he is twice her age, has issues with her father or her father will take issues with him or so he thinks, are they the perfect match as they think, is she his perfect curvy girl, and can they find the happiness seek?.

Junie was in her last year of vet school and working at Waylon's Ranch as a horse trainer, but she was looking for a soul mate through an app not having very good luck. Maggie helped her with the last application causing her to get a surprise match. Junie was wanting an older man 35-45 to her 24 which she had been having trouble getting matched to. This time she got matched to Cole, and they met at the coffee shop in town. In the process of meeting, she spilled her coffee down her front with Cole coming up introducing himself. She thought he was a little crazy, and then she discovered her father was his boss, and she knew for sure any relationship between them would be doomed. Cole was not a quitter. He convinced her to go to his cabin for to him fix them dinner. That was when she learned Maggie marked, she was into kink. Cole really was not, but he would experiment if she wanted. She had no idea what she wanted as a virgin. What it turned out she needed was a take change man to lead the way to show her what they could have by standing up to her father. There was a reason she was attracted to older men all along. I had to admire Cole in how he believed in his love for Junie in such a short time. Insta-love with an alpha male that was not afraid to after what he wanted.

I honestly expected this to be like other mail-order mountain brides books and it SO was not, BUUUUUTTTT, I’m so glad. It had great characters, absolutely, but the story was SUPER unique to me. Plus sprinkle in a bunch of dirty talk and a dominant MMC = win!
The sassy FMC is on her 4th attempt to secure a spouse in a mail-order spouse app. She’s all but mentally given up, and in walks the MMC to their meet-up, who is a hot, tattooed, adorable, yet a bit of a hidden alpha, older-man and he’s instantly smitten.
There’s definitely some drama and hurdles in their way but I just love how their story comes together. I can’t wait for the next one! (There’s lots of set-up for the next in the series).

A steamy mountain man romance with minimal drama and an incredibly happy ending. Cole and Junie meet through a mail order marriage app. Their first time meeting is both awkward and funny. It will make you love Cole right away. They realize they have an instant connection but finding that Cole works for her dad puts a quick end to things. Not wanting to let his feisty kitty go, he shows her that he will do anything for her. Junie is a thrilling combination of feisty on the outside and wanting someone to take control in the bedroom. Cole is everything she needs for that. Their first time was in a very unique location and was incredibly HOT!! They are both able to embrace of their personality aspects through their love for each other leading to a really terrific ending and a fun book to read.

Not your typical hot and steamy Khloe read. This one is by far hotter. The epilogue is on fire. I want my husband to recreate it to our likings. But oh my goodness.
This wasn’t your typical age gap read. They both had a secret they shared. And they both never really knew it until they met each other. They really brought it out in each other. Was nice that they could explore that side with each other.
The father “issue” was one of my favorites. really liked how the “issue” resolved.
Definitely give this a read. But might have a fan or ice pack near by. Maybe even an awake partner for after you’ve read this book. Just saying it ends on a steamy note. :).

Twenty-Four Hours to Web
Mail Order Mountain Man is the sixth book in the Waylon Family Ranch (Rugged Mountain Ink) series. This age-gap, insta-lust/love romance is about Junie and Cole. I loved both these characters and the story from the start. Junie is twenty-four years old and wants to be married and have a family. So far that is not possible with her father being the big boss in the area. So she takes matters into her own hands and enrols in a marriage app which matches you and then you marry in 24 hours if it all goes well. It was instant love for Cole when he sees Junie....he just knows she is meant to be his. But for Junie it is not quite working. Will Cole be able to turn things around and get himself wed?

I loved Mail Order Mountain Man: Waylon Family Ranch. Junie just wants a man who will take charge, is older and wants lots of kids. Cole is perfect, he fits all the categories until she finds out he works for her dad. What’s the point, they can’t date because her father will probably try to kill Cole. Cole isn’t going to give up, he knows he and Junie are meant to be and he will find a way foe them to be together. This was such a sweet, quick story. I loved the storyline and the characters. I can’t wait for the next book and I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

This hit me as a rather unique mountain man romance and I loved how that ended up grabbing my attention and keeping it ;) Junie and Cole both signed up for a dating app that you either decide to marry withing 24 hrs or you forever keep apart. Lol! Of course, their meet cute was ridiculous but it started the humour found throughout the story. Going with that, though, was awesome and hot chemistry...and dirty banter ;P These two were made for each other, despite their age gap. That is, until dear old dad and his rifle get factored in. Lol! I enjoyed their interactions and the way Cole was able to dispose of any objections Junie had, making their HEA very satisfying :D

❤️ Cole ❤️
Junie wants nothing more than to find for soulmate. So, she has a profile on an app that helps you find your soulmate and, if it's a match, you marry in 24 hours. To date, they've all been losers. When she meets Cole, things are already starting off on a bad note with a couple of cups of spilled coffee. Cole can tells that Junie is meant to be his from the very beginning. But, when she finds out that he works for her dad, is that really an obstacle that they can overcome? Also, what happens when Cole asks Junie about the kinks section that was completed on her profile....that she didn't complete? These two were made for each other!!

Junie is ready for love so she signs up with an online mail-order marriage service and gets matched with Cole. From the moment they meet there is an instant attraction and everything is going great. One problem, he works for her dad and dad's not too happy about their relationship. This is an age-gap, steamy, mountain-man romance with an interesting mail-order mountain man twist. This is book six and a great addition to the series. I loved that Cole was special ordered perfection. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Junie signed up looking for a mail order husband, never expecting to find one that was closer than she expected. Cole was ready to settle down, something about her profile intrigued him, meeting her really got his blood pumping.
When she finds who he works for there is no way it will work. Cole is determined to what is necessary to get his girl.

Now she meets the hot older Cole, but he works for her overprotective and kind insane father. So she tries to stay away, but Cole is smitten and will fight for his chance with his Junie. Instalove, age gap, steamy, sweet, romantic , fun to read and safe. A sweet HEA and no drama😍😍😍😍

Part of the Rugged Mountain Ink series. Cole and Junie's age gap story is short, steamy and intense. They first meeting is funny in its own way. He works for her protective father Ben. I enjoyed seeing these two get a happy ending. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I absolutely love the newest book in the Rugged Mountain Ink spin-off series. Junie is the cutest, and i adore her honesty. Cole is her dad's good friend, and he can't help but want her. I love how he will give up anything to be with her and their perfect ending.

In this book we meet Junie & Cole. Junie is just looking for a man to want her for her, not what she can give him. Cole wants a woman who can see him for the man who has dreams not for the worker he is today. When these two meet they realize they have someone big in common. Junie's dad and Cole's boss are the same person. Will they find a HEA or will it all end before it even begins?
Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This story was great. Not what I expected because of the title but I love how it was different then I thought it would go.
Both Cole and Junie were both looking for love and were matched and found something together more then both could ever ask for. A future and forever love.

Unbelievable!😍😍😍
I am crazy about Cole, and his Junie (kitty cat) . I love reading about a big dominant man, who also worships his woman. Man, turn down the temperature on your AC. You'll need to keep cool, while reading this scorching book.

I don’t know how to explain I don’t love this series. I don’t hate it either, but I cannot stop coming back and reading the next one. It’s like a pallet cleanser after a bigger book. 🤷🏻♀️😬
