Blaze

by Hazel J. North

Blaze
I’ve never been much of a book lover, but when I meet the curvy redhead working at Bearclaw Ridge’s library, I’m a converted man. Soon, I’m devouring every page of every book she recommends to me—while also dreaming about devouring her.

Not able to resist her any longer, I push her against the bookshelves to give her the most knee-buckling kiss of her life. Deep down, I know she wants me, too, but she doesn’t seem to believe in love at first sight.

When we get stuck together in the library overnight thanks to a big storm, I see it as my ultimate chance to convince her that we belong together…

Blaze is a short and steamy instalove romance between a hot mountain man and a curvy librarian. Full of heat and heart with NO cliffhanger, NO cheating, and a Guaranteed HEA. This book is part of The Kingsley Brothers of Bearclaw Ridge, a steamy instalove romance series set in a small mountain town where every Kingsley brother finds a curvy woman to love.

4.5 ⭐s Now he's a believer, just like his brothers. 

Blaze and his brothers own and operate RidgeRoam Adventure Tours in Bearclaw Ridge. His friend's wife asked him to teach kindergarten children about wilderness safety and mountaineering. 

Savannah is one of the librarians, and Blaze is instantly attracted to the beautiful redhead. He hasn't been in a library in years, nor does he do much reading. He's too busy living in the great outdoors. Once the head librarian catches them kissing, you can bet it won't be too long before the entire town hears about their kiss.

Blaze was skeptical when two of his brothers knew almost instantly upon meeting their wives that she was the one meant for them. Now, he understands how they felt. The big question is: does Savannah feel the same way?

Encantador!

Eu amo histórias com mocinhas bibliotecárias e essa aqui foi excelente! Savannah e Blaze formam um casal apaixonante, divertido e muito fofo. E eles também pegam fogo! Amei o fato de Blaze não esconder o que sentia e ir atrás, deixando bem claro o seu amor pela Savannah. E eu também amei o fato dela se permitir viver esse amor, mesmo com suas inseguranças causadas pelo divórcio turbulento que seus pais estavam enfrentando. Ela confiou no que sentia, no que Blaze sentia por ela e não deixou que seu medo roubasse sua chance de ser feliz. E ela também foi sincera com Blaze sobre o que sentia, tanto seu amor quanto suas inseguranças. Casal que se comunica é mesmo outro nível, né?! Isso evita um dramalhão desnecessário e corações partidos sem necessidade, deixando espaço para o romance lindo que vimos aqui. Eu amei demais, já entrou na minha lista de favoritos!

These brothers give you so much in their stories. You get grit, heart, sheepish smiles, heart pounding love, and passion that makes you confirm you haven't started a wildfire if you're outside!!!

Blaze is so laid back, but fun. He doesn't take life too seriously. He is instantly taken when he meets the beautiful Savannah at the library. Lets just say its good for business to have a mountain man coming in just to see YOU everyday!!

My favorite line Hazel put in this book that applies to a lot of insta-love stories. Love doesn't work on a timeline!

These two have plenty of reason to doubt love and how it lasts but they still take the leap anyway. Its just the cozy steamy read we could use right now!

Blaze is Book 3 of The Kingsley Brothers of Bearclaw Ridge series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, curvy virgin gets her mountain man romance. Savannah is a curvy librarian. Blaze is a burly, hunky mountain man who owns an outdoor adventure company with his brothers. When he goes to the library to teach six year Olds about wilderness safety, he doesn't expect to meet the woman of his dreams. He's not a reader, but he becomes one to spend time with Savannah at the library. They had great chemistry. This was another great, light-hearted, fast-paced, spicy instalove read with a great HEA. I can't wait for Skyler's book next!!.

This is the 3rd book in the series, and Blaze one of the brothers that owns and operates Ridge Roam Adventures. He is actively into the outdoors. As they say, opposites attract, and he falls for a quiet Librarian, very much an indoors person. Savannah definately brought out a different side of Blaze. The characters were endearing, honest, deadicated and loyal. The chemistry between them was obvious from the onset and it was fun seeing Blaze gather his courage. When the elements, and Savannah's friend conspire to ruin their evening, do Blaze and Savannah find a way around it?

I received a gift copy of this book and volunteered my review. Happy Reading Y'all 📚

I loved Blaze Book 3 of The Kingsley Brothers of Bearclaw Ridge. This was a short and sweet story. Blaze met Savannah when he was giving a wilderness talk at the library. One look and he’s a goner. Now he’s visiting the library daily just to see her and he will do whatever he can to make her his. I loved this story and the characters. She’s a little skittish but Blaze will do everything he can to reassure Savannah they are forever. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

A great book of instant love. Blaze runs a wilderness company with his brothers and is asked to do a talk to his sister-in-laws school children in the library. He arrives early and sees Savannah who works there and instantly falls in love. They get talking and he offers to take her camping, hiking whatever she wants, they end up paragliding and on their way home she gets a call to help her mother with her dad leaving the house. He goes to the library that evening to pick her up but they get caught in a storm which cuts the electric trapping them. Their forever kicks in with this must-read.

This was a fun short romantic story. Blaze and Savannah were such a great fit. They both had loving, caring personalities and just knew they were made for each other.

I liked the brief worry from Savannah, based on her parents relationship. It added a level of real world elements to the story. Blaze was patient, and caring and reassuring and he proved to Savannah that he loved her and would never abandon her.

The Epilogue was great, especially how Savannah told Blaze she was pregnant, it was so sweet.

Blaze is short and sweet and oh, so fun! Adventurous main man Blaze is the epitome of outdoorsman, and vd meets his forever match in the local library. Savannah is a sassy bookworm who is afraid to open up. Blaze’s boldness is a challenge and a joy in the face of her many trials. I would have loved to see more character development, but the physical connection is top notch!.

This is Blaze and Savannah’s story. He’s never been much of a book lover, but that all changes when he meet the curvy redhead working at Bearclaw Ridge’s library. Soon, he’s devouring every page of every book she recommends —while dreaming of devouring her. Then during a storm they get stuck in the library together. It was an entertaining, fun read.

My rating for this one is a 3.5. This is a well written short story with good characters. I would have liked to have seen more of their story. This is one for that short period of reading time. A good story for that lazy afternoon. This one is worth your time.

Blaze was reading everything in the library that the curvy redhead recommended. He'd fallen in love and he wanted to devour her. This was another enjoyable story. I loved it. 5☆

Really sweet novella! Blaze and Savannah are perfect together. Very fast paced and sometimes a little bit cutesy but enjoyed their journey!
