This is a great collection of three brother's and the women they fall for. The author brings three unique stories with strong characters. She brings the heat as she pulls the relationships together, adds in some drama and paints her scenes perfectly. They are well written and are terrific reads.

Kali Hart has gathered the first three books of her Mountain Men of Caribou Creek series featuring the three Ashburn Brothers into a collection that you absolutely need to grab if you are a fan of Ms Hart, swoon-worthy mountain men, sassy heroines, or wonderfully-written instalove romance.

Love on Tap - Riley & Ash
The first title I ever read by Kali Hart and it made me an instant fan. Riley has returned to Caribou Creek to help take care of her grandmother after she broke her ankle, and has been avoiding her brother's best friend, Zac - whom she had a massive crush on when she was a teenager. Once she and Zac finally lay eyes on one another again, there is a very mutual attraction. Zac, ex-military and still occasionally battling PTSD, finds that Riley calms him in a way nothing else does. However, her stay is only supposed to be temporary - and she fears she may have more ties back in Orlando than she wishes. Then there's the matter of her brother...

Zac is swoon-worthy and Riley is imperfectly perfect, both flawed and awesome, and with Kindle-melting chemistry that reminds you that first and foremost, this is a steamy romance. But it also has a cast of amazing supporting characters - from Grandma Hattie and Grandpa Harold, to Ben and Wes, Penny and Huck...

Love Drunk - Wes & Avery
Wes has wanted Avery from the moment she arrived in town and rented one of his properties. However, her arrival in Caribou Creek was as an escape, and she is ready to leave at any moment. Reluctant to allow herself to connect with anyone, she has been avoiding Wes at every opportunity. But when her past catches up with her, and Wes' meddling grandmother arrives in town, the two fake a relationship, which inevitably leads to both catching feelings. Can they each move past their previous relationships and give each other a chance, or will playing pretend only end in heartbreak?

Tipsy on Love - Ben & Josie
Ben has lusted after the family's assistant in their brewery since she started working for them three years ago. But ghosts from his past have had him gruffly holding her at arm's length. Josie is about at the end of her rope where Ben is concerned. Stuck working with him at an annual festival out of town, she is determined to make her feelings known - and if he rejects her, she has a job lined up in Anchorage. Will Ben finally get out of his own way when it is obvious how meant to be he and Josie really are?

All three of these short romances are entertaining, steamy and swoon-worthy. A highly recommended collection to add to your favourites.

REVIEW
Wow. I'm not sure words can explain how highly I recommend this series.

It has it all: sassy grandmothers, a beautiful Alaskan small town, somewhat damaged heroes, soulmates, slightly insecure heroines, wonderful love stories, and sexy but also oh so fucking beautiful sex scenes.

If I had to choose, I'd say Love on Tap (book 1) with Riley and Zac was my favorite. I'm a sucker for the second chance trope (well, at least when it's done without too much angst!).

Whatever Kali Hart publishes, I will read. One of my fave authors, for sure.

If you're looking for some novellas about three hot AF and incredibly affectionate heroes finding their soulmates, all set in an Alaskan small town, then this is what you want to pick up, for sure.

(Check out my reviews of the individual novellas to see what I thought about each one specifically. Links below.)

Love on Tap
Love on Tap is the first book in the Mountain Men of Caribou Creek; this is Riley and Zac's tale.

Zac return to Caribou Creek after his time in the military, with his brothers, owns the tap room in town and enjoys being at the bar, but also the solitude of his cabin, especially when the past become the present.

Riley has returned to town to help with her grandmother's therapy and is hoping to avoid her brother's best friend and ignore that possible secret she is holding.

Riley and Zac's tale has a number of ups and down, thrown in with secrets and fears and this fast read will have you on the edge wanting more and expecting no less.


Love Drunk
Love Drunk is the second book in the Mountain Men of Caribou Creek series and is Avery and Wes's story.

Avery is renting one of Wes's rentals, starting her life over and was running from her ex, Lucas. When Lucas found Avery, Wes was at the house working on her car and took it upon himself to help.

Wes was taken by Avery's beauty and was not going to let anything happen to her. When his grandmother stopped by unannounced, seeing Avery at his house started a lie that snowballed.

Wes and Avery have a strong connection with passion that burns bright. This fast love does not allow them to find everything out, and when Avery's past comes out, Wes takes offense to her secret that is until his grandmother knocks some since into him.

I love Grandma June, she is definitely someone you want on your good side. Love Drunk is fast read that is perfect to get lost in and to enjoy the twist and turn of finding love.


Tipsy on Love
Tipsy on Love is the third book of the Mountain Men of Caribou Creek, it is Ben and Josie's story.

Josie has been waiting three years for Ben to notice her, but the best she gets from him is her daily task. Ben's feeling for Josie increase by the day, but being her boss and pains from the past, he does not want to cross the lines.

Tired of watching Ben push Josie away, his brother nudges him alone when Ben is forced to join Josie to an event. This is a fun story that has a number of matchmakers trying to get Ben to take the step before Josie gives up.

Love on Tap

Riley has returned to her home town to care for her grandma while she is rehabilitating from and injury. Zac had returned home from the military to work with his brothers. Riley had had a crush on Zac for years! She last saw him when she was 15 and kissed him! As soon as he saw her again Zac knew she was the one! He just had to convince her, navigate his best friends reaction and overcome his own issues!! With some help from Grandma Hattie(who was hilarious) Zac convinced Riley to give him a chance! Beautiful love story, fun, romantic and hot and steamy. There were some issues to overcome but the HEA was amazing. Riley and Zac’s love for each other was beautiful to read.

Love Drunk

Wes was in love with Avery from the moment he saw her but she was avoiding him. Avery wanted Wes but had come out of an abusive relationship and didn’t want to get involved. When disaster stuck and Avery was in danger Wes protected her and took her home with him. They entered a fake relationship to keep her safe but Wes wanted it to be real. So did Avery! Miscommunication and misunderstandings led to complications but the love they had for each other was strong. Their chemistry was amazing. Hot, steamy and very sweet the HEA was beautiful.

Tipsy on Love

Josie and Ben met 3 years ago, it was love at first sight but Ben thought he wasn’t good enough for a beautiful, happy woman like Josie. He didn’t want to drag her down with his darkness. He did everything he could to avoid her but he didn’t want to lose her. When they were forced together for a weekend it was make or break. Josie was determined to win him over or move on. Hot, steamy with amazing chemistry. Ben was loving and caring but too frightened to tell Josie how he felt. When she decided to move on things blew up, he needed her and loved her now he had to prove it. Wonderful story with a beautiful HEA.

I loved this trilogy. Zac, Wes and Ben, three brothers finding love in Caribou Creek. These are all well written, fast paced and oh so steamy love stories. You are rooting for each couple throughout the whole book. Excellent trilogy.
In Love on Tap Riley has come back to Caribou Creek to help her grandmother with her physical therapy. She has crushed on Zac since she was a teen and returning has brought back all those feelings, but she has a secret she needs to share before they can move on.
In Love Drunk Avery is a kindergarten teacher and is renting one of Wes' apartments. Wes has wanted her since he met her but Avery has a secret too. What will Wes do when he finds out. He claimed he would never judge her but was he speaking the truth?
In Tipsy on Love Ben has loved Josie every since he hired her. But why does he keep pushing her away. When they are forced to be together at a brewery convention can he let her know how he feels?

Love on Tap: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really cute brother’s best friend romance. It was well written and had a great flow. It had a little drama but it didn’t overshadow the romance. Zac and Riley had great chemistry and I liked them both.

Love Drunk: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really cute fake relationship romance. It’s the second book I’ve read by this author and I really like her style of writing. The story had a nice pace and some drama but not too much. The chemistry between Wes and Avery was amazing and I enjoyed reading their story.

Tipsy on Love: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an amazing workplace romance with a hilarious twist on the only one bed trope. The story was both really emotional and steamy. Josie and Ben had such great chemistry and I loved how they found each other. I also really loved the comic relief in the form of Grandma Betty, she was so great. I really loved this story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

She plans on avoiding Zac while she is in town. When she needs her brother's help with her grandmother, she runs into Zac.

I have been really looking forward to this new series from Kali.  We were introduced to the brewery brothers in the J series.  Zack and Riley are the greatest read, and I love their story.  I am looking forward to more stories from these incredible characters.

Love heading back to Caribou Creek and the amazing characters Kali has given us.  I have loved Wes since book one, and I love how he protects Avery.   Their Grandma June is the best, and I love how she loves Avery.  It was a fantastic second book to an absolutely favorite series.

Absolutely love heading back to the Caribou Creek and the incredible Ashburn brothers brewery.   Josie has loved Ben, and he has been a grumpy jerk. When they both go to an event for the weekend, I love how they find that perfect ending.  Absolutely loved every book in this incredible series.

The Ashburn Brothers Collection - More than tasty with some spicy overload

The Ashburn Brothers Collection contains the first 3 books in the Mountain Men of Caribou Creek series -
1. Love on Tap (Riley and Zac)
2. Love Drunk (Avery and Wes)
3. Tipsy on Love (Josie and Ben)

Each of these books, about the Ashburn brothers who own and run the Caribou Creek Brewery, I have read and reviewed previously. I love that they brothers stories have come together into one great box set. Each of the books earned a definite 5 Star rating as Kali continued with the quirky and interesting Caribou Creek community. The Ashburn brothers are all pig headed and oblivious but under it all they also have hearts that when they fall they fall big. I loved each of these books and would definitely recommend this collection, which you do not have to read after other Caribou Creek books.

I just love reading a collection of stories of the same people all at once, that is why I highly recommend buying this collection of stories about the Ashburn brothers of Caribou Creek who find the women that bring them to their knees in three short stories that will heat your blood with the steamy moments they each find with their soulmates. Join Riley Kohl and Zac Ashburn in Love On Tap, Avery Nichols and Wes Ashburn in Love Drunk and finally Josie Bennington and Ben Ashburn in Tipsy on Love. There are guaranteed happily ever afters for each couple and lots of fun along the way.

I loved this series: The Ashburn Brothers Collection: Small Town Mountain Man Romance. This series of three books follows the Ashburn brothers and their relationships. They are part of the larger group of books from the Mountain Men if Caribou Creek which is also a great series. They are shorter stories with a HEA. My favorite was Josie and Ben. I was rooting foe them through all three books but they are all great story’s. It’s nice they are all together so you can just roll from one to the other. I would definitely recommend this book and the larger series.

Wes, Zac and Ben are the three Ashburn Brothers who live in Caribou Creek. Theis series follows their journey to finding the love of their lives. If you are familiar with Kali's work you know your in for a treat as she spins her tales of love and happily ever after. If your not you are in for a treat. You will fall in love with her characters, be captivated by their stories and itching to read more of her books. This collection takes away the guess work of her reading order and means you don't have to waste time uploading another book!!!.

Love on Tap:
Great start to a new series with wonderful characters especially Grandma Hattie. Lots of heat and just a little angst to move the story along.
Love Drunk:
The characters are all sweet - from the main characters to all the supporting ones including the cat. Grandma June and Mr Sprinkles are a hoot.
Tipsy on Love:
Loved Ben in the first two books so was glad to see his character fleshed out throughout this story. Great chemistry and cute storyline.

This boxset kept me really entertained with all the drama and romance. The Ashburn brothers are each lucky to find love and will do whatever they can to keep their girls. Although some needed to do more grovelling than others (looking at you Ben).

The author also did a great job of giving you that small town feel in each story and developed great side characters. I’m convinced I need a feisty granny sidekick after reading this book.

The Ashburn Brothers' Collection includes three novellas about three mountain men brothers and the beautiful and curvy women they fall for. I loved reading all three steamy novellas and the journey of love each couple takes to get their HEA. Kali Hart writes the best sweet and steamy stories and I can't get enough of them. Each story in this series is well written with characters that are believable and I was cheering them on to get their happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This small-town mountain men collection is filled with inspiring small-town drama along with alpha men that will steam up the pages and keep you glued to the from start to finish. The stories drew me in and had me all caught up in the small-town romances. The stories are descriptively well written with characters that I connected with and found myself cheering on to finding happiness.

Part of the Mountain Men of Caribou Creek series. I have read two of these stories before and had missed reading the first book so I was happy to see them all in one place as an ARC. The stories are Love on Tap = Riley and Zac, Love Drunk = Avery and Wes and Tipsy on Love = Josie and Ben. All the stories are fun and well worth reading.

The Ashburn Brothers Collection was a delightful collection of stories. Every story kept you glued to your book from start to finish. Every brother has a woman who eventually got them on their knees and found out that you need a significant other to get to a hea. This collection of stories is worth reading.

This is a collection featuring the three Ashburn brothers and finding love. The stories are "Love on Tap" (Riley and Zac), "Love Drunk" (Avery and Wes) and "Tipsy on Love" (Josie and Ben). Each one is a short and quick read with delightful characters. They are a touch over the top and fun reads. I love the characters and the plots are interesting and nicely developed. Each small town romance brings something a little unique into the mix.

This was my first time reading a novel by Kali Hart. I enjoyed the 3 novels in 1 book. I would have to say that Tipsy on Love was my Favorite out of the 3 stories provided. There was a spelling error in book 2, and the language was a little cringe, but overall it was enjoyable. I did a buddy read with my good friend Whitney.

I had read 2 of these already, but really enjoyed reading them all together. I help make the overall story better. Three brothers take over the family brewery, each has their own issues. What nope of them expect is to find happiness right under their noses especially Ben.

I had previously read one of the stories but it was nice to be able to read these all together. The men are all alpha, but fall hard and fast for their women. The stories are funny, heartfelt and steamy with plenty of friendships and family
