Mountain Men of Whispering Winds #1-4

Mountain Men of Whispering Winds: Books 1-4

They're big. They're bearded.
And they're completely obsessed!


This collection contains the first four books in the Mountain Men of Whispering Winds series.

The Man of the Mountain - When Griff finds Penny lost and alone on his mountain before a big storm, his protective instincts kick in. He knows what she needs. A warm shower. A hot meal. And one big bed to ride out the storm...

The Boss of the Mountain - When I left my small town, I tried to forget my forbidden crush on my brother's best friend. Now that I'm back, I can't. It's impossible when he's my new boss, and he keeps looking at me like that...

The Recluse of the Mountain - When I caught my groom making out with his best man, I ran away to the mountains. Turns out the empty cabin I sheltered in during the storm wasn't so empty. And this mountain man is looking at me like he skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And that just leaves... Uh oh.

The Grump of the Mountain - He’s big, grumpy, and twice my age. My secret crush. He comes to me for his caffeine fix but all I want to give him is my heart. When we get snowed in together, some secrets are bound to come out...

Welcome to Whispering Winds, a small mountain town where the men are big, bearded, and more than a little obsessed when they find their soulmates. And the women? Well, they're all a little unlucky with love until they're swept off their feet by the burly men who live in cabins far away on the mountainside.

These mountain men might be a little rough around the edges, but all it takes is one look from these women to ignite possessive urges and make them reconsider their reclusive lives on the mountain.

Super sweet and swoon-worthy HEAs guaranteed!

A collection of four novellas set in the rugged and secluded terrain around the mountain town of Whispering Winds. Each story centers on a different couple, but they all share common themes of unexpected love, healing, and the transformative power of nature and love. The mountain setting serves as both a backdrop and a catalyst for each character's journey, offering a space for reflection, challenge, growth, connection, and love:

The Man of the Mountain:
Penny (h) arrives in the mountain town of Whispering Winds, only to encounter disaster after disaster, culminating in a terrifying mountain lion attack. Her fortunes change dramatically when Griffin (H), a rugged and protective mountain man, rescues her and brings her to his secluded cabin. Sweeping her away to his secluded cabin as a storm approaches, Griffin's protective and intensely affectionate behavior sparks an instant connection between them. Trapped together, Penny and Griffin share meals, stories, and secrets, revealing vulnerabilities and building a deep, emotional bond. Despite her initial hesitations, Penny is drawn to Griffin's commanding yet nurturing presence, contemplating a future far different from what she thought her life would be. Sweet and spicy instalove, age gap, mountain man romance with a little bit of danger, humor, and a change of luck.

The Boss of the Mountain:
Lizzy (h) returns to her small mountain hometown to take a job at Whispering Winds Inn, run by Chase (H), her long-time crush and her brother’s best friend. Chase, an ex-football star turned reclusive mountain man, manages his business remotely, secretly harboring feelings for Lizzy while observing her through security cameras. Things take a turn when Lizzy goes on a hike to gather mushrooms, accidentally falls into a river, and is swept directly into Chase's fishing net. This unexpected rescue by Chase brings them into close quarters at his cabin, where a storm traps them together, and things heat up between the two as they confront their feelings for one another and the complications it brings, including Lizzy's overprotective brother. Hot and steamy age-gap, forbidden romance, filled with a side of angst.

The Recluse of the Mountain:
Matchmaker Juliet (h) finds her personal love life takes an unexpected turn on her wedding day, when she discovers her fiancé kissing his best man. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Juliet flees the wedding in her gown and escapes into the mountains, where she stumbles upon a secluded cabin just as a storm hits. Seeking shelter, she inadvertently makes herself at home, consuming the last slice of cobbler and causing a bit of chaos in the cabin. The cabin's owner, Aiden (H), a reclusive mountain man who prefers solitude, returns and finds Juliet, whom he finds himself drawn to despite the mess she has made. As they both navigate their instant attraction amidst the unusual circumstances, Juliet's presence brings a change to Aiden's solitary life, and together, they explore the possibility of new beginnings as Juliet must decide whether to return to her old life or embrace a new beginning with Aiden in the tranquil mountains. Hot and steamy age, gap, mountain man romance with a bit of adventure and humor in a Goldilocks-inspired tale.

The Grump of the Mountain:
Quinn (h), a young barista at Windy Brews, finds herself irresistibly drawn to Beau (H), a gruff, reclusive mountain man who frequents the coffee shop. Despite their age difference and his stern demeanor, Quinn harbors a deep-seated crush on Beau, who unknowingly returns her affections but doubts her interest due to his own insecurities and past hurts. A snowstorm forces them to shelter together in Beau's cabin, providing an unexpected opportunity to confront their feelings. During their time together, the pair exchange personal revelations – Quinn learns of Beau past traumas, while Beau discovers Quinn's desire for independence from her overbearing family. As their attraction develops into a deeper connection, they find that love might be the key to healing. Sweet slower burn, mountain man, grumpy-sunshine romance with plenty of angst and revelations.

Okay get comfortable because there are four books yep you read that right four whole books and once you start you won’t stop until the last page of the last book has been turned. The Man of the Mountain – Penny is a magnet for trouble the moment she arrives in Whispering Winds she has faced one situation after another, but it all leads to Giffen the mountain man who saves her 😊. The Boss of the Mountain this is a second chance sort of Lizzy returns home to Whispering Winds accepts a job in the inn where she into her brother’s best friend the one man that she couldn’t forget no matter how many years pass Chase happens to be the one man she couldn’t forget and she happens to be the untouchable women considering she is his best friends little sister 😊. The Recluse of the Mountain – I want to give Juliet a huge hug especially after catching her soon to be fiancé locking lips with his best man on her wedding day so she does what any women would she runs to the mountains right into a storm and a cabin that belonged to a sexy mountain man Aiden who prefers his own company to anything else until the unwanted guest starts to mean something more to him 😊. The Grump of the Mountain -Quinn is sweet works as the barista at the Windy Brew and every time her favorite customer comes she gets all giddy but Beau sexy as all get out recluse who comes in for his coffee fix oh truth be told to see to also get his fix of the barista but neither thinks the other feel the same way until a storm trap them together where are our couples headed maybe happiness?

Mountain Men of Whispering Winds series.

The Man of the Mountain - When Griff finds Penny lost and alone on his mountain before a big storm.

The Boss of the Mountain - My brother's best friend's my new boss, and he keeps looking at me like that...

The Recluse of the Mountain -I caught my groom making out with his best man, I ran away to the mountains. The empty cabin I sheltered in during the storm wasn't so empty. Uh oh.

The Grump of the Mountain - Review :Beau, the grumpy mountain man and the barista meet practically every day. Can an artist inspire an artist? Maybe. But the thump, thump, thump is not just the can hitting the floor as Beau approaches the counter. Good read. internal conflict. a slow burn to romance. Snow storm. snow fun. inspiration between a sketch and a painting. Good characters. reads a compatible match. no cliff.

Mountain Men of Whispering Winds, books 1-4 is a fabulous box set that collects the first four novellas in this series. I am new to Tessa Klein’s writing, and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it. I am definitely a sucker for a hot, OTT alpha male book boyfriend, and she writes them in spades! Each story in this box set is compelling, sweet, hot, and fun. The chemistry between the characters leaps off the pages, and you can’t help wanting more. With fire and spice, explosive heat, action, drama, and so much more, each novella provides you with all the feels and will keep you hooked from start to finish. I will definitely be reading more of this author’s work!

Brilliant short story collection from Tessa. Each one is a standalone, but with interlinking characters so you get the sense of a real community.
Each story has a alpha mountain man who'll do anything for the goddess infront of him as they fall hard and fast.
Great collection with varying themes to keep you engaged.

Love Me A Mountain Man

These 4 books were enjoyable to read. Action, adventure, unexpected instant attraction, romance, shirtless log splitting and getting caught in either rain or snow storms! Each of these men find their mate and each couple finds their HEA.

My favorite was book #4. All stories basically the same premise, but well written. Why are all female characters in these books virgins? Doesn’t seem like that would matter.
