Tied to the Mountain Man

Rugged Hearts #2

by Aria Cole

Welcome to Devil’s Peak, where the men are rugged, grumpy, and over-the-top protective of the women they love…



Holt Warner is the kind of man who laughs in the face of fear. As a legendary free climber, he’s spent his life defying gravity—until a devastating accident grounds him. Now, he’s trapped at Devil’s Peak with nothing but regrets and scars that run deeper than the physical ones.



Lila Grayson is everything Holt isn’t, a prim and proper city girl terrified of heights. She’s a travel blogger just passing through Devil’s Peak, but when her safe, structured world collides with Holt’s rugged wilderness, sparks fly. He’s determined to push her limits, both on the cliffs and off, while she’s determined to unlock the man behind the rough-around-the-edges mask.



Can Holt let go of his past and grab hold of a future with Lila? Or will the danger of falling for each other prove more perilous than any mountain?



The Rugged Hearts series is full of rugged mountain men brothers, steamy tension, seductive banter, and love worth fighting for.



Get ready to fall for the fierce passion of country boy Holt and city girl Lila in this opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine insta-love romance that will leave you breathless.

Holt and Lila find love on a cliff where things take a steamy turn. This is a well written, heartwarming romance with well developed characters, facing fears, and so much more in this page turning story. Tied to the Mountain Man is book two and a great addition to the Rugged Hearts series. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Yummiest of mountain men

Good story, short but not too short. Grumpy recluse, mountain man, double virgins, city girl meets mountain man, a few epilogues showing their HEA.....

I felt like she was always wearing a skirt when she was mountain climbing or on a trail. That doesn't seem realistic. lol

Was a very good book by a very good author. He sure came around. She helped him deal with his problems. Annie taught her to climb on the mountain.
