Greene Mountain Boys #9

Craving In The Mountains

Rate this book
What do you do when you’re in a funk that won’t quit?

I tried

- Sleeping all day (check)

- Binge watching Stranger Things all day (check)

- Feeling sorry for myself all day (check)

But nothing works. My funk gets funkier. Depression looms.

So I do something drastic to shake myself out of it.

I head to the Greene Mountains to go parachuting with my crazy cousin and his wild friends.

I need a rush of adrenaline. A dump of endorphins.

And I get it.

When I see the hottest mountain man alive.

Aiden Hughes.

He works in Search and Rescue.

And when I inevitably get myself lost on the mountain, he comes for me.

Depression is a distant memory when I’m in this alpha’s big arms.

The funk is gone. Desire takes its place.

Now, I’m craving more than adventure…

I’m craving a new start.

With him.





Anyone have a craving for a hot bearded Mountain Man with a possessive attitude? Steam is in the forecast for the Greene Mountains! Don’t miss out!

Insta-love at its finest with no cheating and a super sweet HEA guaranteed. Enjoy!

Safety warnings:
- H 30's? / h 22
- No OW/OM drama
- No cheating
- HEA

Pretty standard. Girl gets bored with life and then proceeds to attempt to do something to ignite it again and instead of that getting her out of her funk she meets a hot grumpy mountain man who becomes obsessed with her in a split second and spends the rest of her life living happily ever after being worshipped.

You know? The normal every stuff lol

3/5

TROPES:
~friends to lovers
~instalove
~mountain man x retired gymnast

PLOT: Kylee is off to the mountains to experience something new - parachuting. There she meets Aiden, who takes one look at her and wants her. Instantly.

THOUGHTS: Cute short novella. I was bored reading over half of it though. I wish there was a little more spice and excitement, as well as cute moments! That's what I read novellas for - for the adorable, silly, spicy moments and this book just did not have enough of it.

SAFETY:
Virgin/celibate?: virgin heroine, not a manwhore hero
OM/OW?: no
Cheating/sharing?: no
HEA? yes! <3

Climbing Trees

Kylee and Aidan Hughes are so completely over-the-top, but it's a fun and very hot introduction. 🔥 Tree climbing just made it more interesting.

A fantasy of being lost in the wilderness and having this gorgeous hottie find me pops into my mind where I know it won’t easily leave. He is so dreamy.
-- Kylee

For an extra OTT touch, I like how he rode in like a white knight. 🐎😏

Kylee has been in a funk, and her mom is worried about her, so she suggests she go on an adventure with her cousin Nerf.

𝕀'𝕞 𝕠𝕓𝕤𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕪𝕠𝕦, 𝕂𝕪𝕝𝕖𝕖. 𝕀 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕪𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕗.

Nerf and his friends are wild and aren't afraid of anything. Nerf suggests going parachuting, so she agrees until she gets lost from the group, and that's when she meets her knight in shining armor, Aiden.

𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕚𝕥, 𝕓𝕒𝕓𝕪, 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕚𝕥. 𝕀𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕞𝕒𝕕𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕪𝕠𝕦.

He takes one look at her and knows instantly that she will be his forever. The only problem is he needs to convince Kylee of his plans.

I can't wait to continue this series with Striking Out in The Mountains.

The easiest way to describe reading this book is that it’s like watching an episode of a really cheesy soap opera or a hallmark movie. It’s entertaining, but not a lot of substance.

Also, some of the character names threw me off. A white horse named Otter, I can live with. But Nerf, Shully and Tito? No thanks

“Craving in the Mountain” is the story of Kylee and Aiden.

Insta love romance between a hiker and mountain rescuer, with loads of sex and a well bred happy ending. It was nice one time read.

Safe

This one’s definitely entertaining!!
❤️ Short & sweet insta-love ❤️
Parachuting, wolves, dinosaurs, Nerf…lol, with some Notorious BIG & Salt-N-Pepa on her 90’s Hip Hop playlist while almost being eaten alive!! (By wolves…not the Mountain Man, well, not yet anyway)

🔥 “Ride me,” I command through gritted teeth. “Ride your man’s big cock.” 🥵

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

Its love at first sight for Search and Rescue member Aiden when he sees Kylee. She’s in Green Mountain to sky dive with her cousin and his friends. She’s been feeling down since she was cut from the US Olympics gymnastics team. Needing something to break her out of her funk she agrees to the jump.
Aiden sees her when she gets in the car to go the the plane for the jump. He asks the group not to go because of high winds. The guys all laugh it off cause they are extreme sport junkies and love the rush. Of course the jump goes wrong for Kylee. All the guys land in the valley, Kylee gets blown off course and lands up in the mountain.
Aiden, who’s worried about her borrows a horse and races to the landing site. When everyone but Kylee lands he races to find her.
Kylee lands and unfortunately attracts the attention of some wolves. She does a good job trying to fight them off, thankfully Aiden arrives and saves her. Back in town he asks her to stay in town for the weekend so they can get to know one another. He feels their instant connection and knows she’s his soulmate. She a bit hesitant, she feels the connection too, but thinks everything is happening to fast, but agrees.
There is no available room at the inn so she goes home with Aiden. Their first time together is hot! She’s a virgin, no mention of his past. More sexy times and him convincing her to stay with him. He has it all planned out, she can open a gymnastics studio in town and live with him.
Epilogues one year later with the opening of her studio, three years later with a little boy, and twenty years later with two more boys and their daughter winning gold at the Olympics.

She placed 5th in the last Olympics and she was planning on competing for the next Olympics but she was cut from the team. Kylee decided to go parachute jumping with her cousin Nerf and his friends in Greene Mountain. Kylee has never jumped out of a plane before but she needs to do something. As they are pulling out of the parking lot of the store a truck pulls up and a gorgeous mountain man gets out. He sees Kylee and he is stunned. Aiden works for the search and rescue in Greene Mountain. When he sees Kylee he just knows that she is the one. He begs her not to jump but Nerf drives away.

Kaylee has been depressed since her gymnastics dream fell apart. Training had filled her life but now it is gone. She doesn't want to do anything and her mother is concerned. Her mother convinces her to spend the day with her cousin Nerf. Kaylee agrees but regrets it when she learns that they are going sky diving. They drive a few hours to Nerf's friends airport. They stop for snacks and on their way out Kaylee sees a hot guy in a search and rescue shirt. Just seeing Aiden shakes Kaylee from her rut. She would rather get to meet him than jump out of a plane. She is stuck going with her cousin and jumps out of the plane. She ends up going off course and landing on the mountain. She is stuck in the woods and wolves are circling her. Luckily Aiden comes riding to the rescue.

Aiden is happy with his quiet life. He loves his job with search and rescue and enjoys his hobby of maps. He wasn't interested in dating even. Then he spots Harlow and everything changes. He wants to make her his. When he learns that she is going skydiving, he grabs his friend's horse and gallops to the landing zone. When it becomes clear that Harlow is blown off course and landed on the mountain. He rushes to rescue her. He finds her surrounded by wolves blasting music. He rushes in to the rescue. Now that he has Harlow in his arms, he wants to convince her to never leave.

Kylee is our innocent, beautiful green eyed 22 year old MFC. She goes to Green Mountain to parachute with her adrenaline junkie cousin and his wild friends. She needs something to snap her out of her funk. She feels she’s been a failure with her life’s work as a Gymnast. Unfortunately, (or fortunately 😁) things go bad and she lands in the middle of a hungry wolf pack!
Aiden Hughe’s is 28 years old and works at Green Mountain Search and Rescue. He’s a definite alpha male with blue eyes, longish brown hair, bearded, tattoos and a mass of muscles…and Kylee can’t resist him. It’s instant attraction for both of them. That quickly turns to love.
Aiden follows Kylee up the mountain to get to her after she does her jump. He had seen her briefly as he drove up and heard their plans. He knew he had to get to her. That there were dangerous winds to be jumping in.
He rides up on a borrowed horse, like the hero he is, saving her from the wolves!
He talkes her into staying a few more days. And their exciting journey begins.
Olivia T Turner writes an obsessive, alpha male, insta love romance in a beautiful way. You won’t be disappointed in this sweet, juicy book. 👍🏻.

Good plot, felt rushed

I wasn't aware of this book coming out until just this week, and was quick to pick it up the second I saw it. But the plot within the short story Romance felt so rushed, that part of me is wondering what the plot was by the end of it.

Tw: Major spoilers
I know it's about a flower child girl who gets taken on an adventure by her cousin, and falls for a random man at first eye contact. Which if you've read the other stories, is basically in line with the others.
Then she stays at his house that same day, and goes on a date. Then they are in love and they do the deed. All in a single day.

Then the whole rest of the book is them having steamy moments together before they have children and open a building together.
The end.

Good book, loved the plot idea that was happening. But it just felt way too rushed for me, and I've read every book before this one. They're all quick paced.

I love Olivia's books and this series is a definite favorite. I have loved every single book SO much! I loved the uncertainty Kylee is feeling in the beginning of this. She's lost and really bummed out. So she gets pushed into hanging out and being adventurous with her cousin, Nerf. Seriously, Nerf. Well done, OTT. 🤣🤣 I loved the moment Aiden and Kylee make eye contact. Palpable. Yes, it was. Aiden was freaking dreamy. He was a downright hero. Kylee was quite a badass too. I loved the part with the wolves. And I really loved how determined Aiden was to keep her with him. Swoon. Then when they finally um.... Get together? Holy. Heck. I'm lucky my kindle didn't melt. Olivia's couples always have smoldering hot chemistry. And the ending? Absolute perfection.

I received a complimentary copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

What to do when you're in a funk...pick up a book by Olivia T. Turner! I love her love-at-first-sight, over-the-top, I-want-to-keep-her-and-make-her-mine-and-put-a baby-in-her books. And it's not just the guys! The girls are who-is-that-incredibly-hot-guy, I-have-to-have-him-even-though-I've-never-done-that-before, I-want-to-keep-him-forever-and-have-his-babies! (And I don't have or want kids, but I still love the primal desire behind the need to procreate.)
Aiden was the confirmed bachelor and Kaylee is the former gymnast who wasn't going to let any boy derail her Olympic dream, but when that dream dies she's at a loss as to what to do next. When she and Aiden lock eyes, it's game over for both of them, he just has to find her again, then convince her to stay and give them a chance. *happy sigh*

Kylee is visiting

Kylee is visiting Greene Mountain with her cousin and friends where they plan to skydive. She's looking to do something that will nudge her out of her funk. As they're pulling up to the mountain she sets eyes on Aiden. He's gorgeous and she notices his search and rescue shirt. They're smitten with each other!

Aiden sees Kylee and knows she's special. When he realizes what she and her group are planning to do he tries to stop her but she goes on ahead with her adventure. This is the beginning of their journey to love and how her wanting excitement leads her to the man of her dreams.

I loved Aiden's careful way of loving her and how Kylee accepted his love.

I enjoyed this read 📚!

Craving in the Mountains is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, girl gets her mountain man romance. Kylee is a 22 year old gymnast in a funk. Aiden is a hunky mountain rescuer. When Kylee goes with her cousin to try sky diving, she and Aiden lock eyes and feel a connection. Later, as she does her dive, her parachute is taken by the wind, and Aiden ends up rescuing her. He asks her to stay for the weekend, and she agrees. What happens after? Will she stay or go? Does she feel the same connection he does?? Their chemistry was pure fire and hot enough to burn down Greene Mountain. We also got an amazing HEA. I loved it!!.

...always super excited when Olivia adds another story to her Greene Mountain Boys! ✨️💚✨️💚
Craving in the Mountains is Aiden & Kylee's story. A retired gymnast and a sëxy, bearded search & rescue mountain man... yes, please! Kylee is craving a change within her life, so she decides to her join her cousin parachuting. Aiden sees her in town, locks eyes with her & instantly craves her... Key in the swooning... 🥰 She is driving away from him and he pursues her riding on a horse up the mountain! Insta-Love at it's finest. 💕 Of course it wouldn't be an Olivia Story without some naughty, sizzling sex and fun & in-the-future HEAs!

Gymnast Kylee (h22) struggles with her emotions after being cut from the Olympic team and heads for the Greene Mountains with her cousin and his friends to jump back into life. She catches the eye of mountain man Aiden (H28) and wonders if he might be what she really needs, but before they have a chance to connect, she’s flying away from him. Aiden realizes that he’s met his one and only, and when she’s in danger after taking a leap out of a plane, he comes riding in to her rescue. But now that’s he’s found Kylee, Aiden just has to convince her that she belongs with him. Hot and steamy mountain man, instalove romantic quickie.

I loved Craving In The Mountains Greene Mountain Boys. Kylee was trying to forget a recent hurt when she went skydiving with her cousin, she saw a search and rescue man and just the sight of him turned her legs to rubber. Aiden couldn’t take his eyes off this amazing woman. When he realized she was in trouble he went into overdrive to save her. She will be his future everything. I loved this storyline and the characters. I loved the epilogue and the glimpse into their future. I would definitely recommend this book.

The newest installment in Olivia T. Turner's wonderful Greene Mountain Boys series is the delicious Craving in the Mountains. Kylee's life has been all about gymnastics since she was a child, and since being cut from the Olympic team, she has been in a funk. When her adventuresome cousin takes to the Greene Mountains to go skydiving, she meets Aiden. From the moment search and rescuer Aiden lays eyes on the young, beautiful Kylee, he knows she's his one - now he just has to convince her of that. An entertaining, super steamy instalove romance that's an absolute must-read.
