This is a book I highly recommend!

[Lucy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I never really expect much from Harlequin romances. They're usually short, sweet, and to the point. I get them for just a fun little palate cleanser that doesn't require much effort to read. So Rocky Mountain Kidnapping fits the bill for that perfectly.

It starts out with a bang, like read the synopsis and that where you start. I am not complaining. I'm not here for an intense preposition. I just want to get into the meat of it. The suspense dynamic was constant. At no point did it really feel like there was any downtime. Honestly, every time Harper did anything outside of her house (and sometimes in it) she was being shot at. It worked as far as fast paced action romance. This is a clean romance as well which was nice. I'm not one to care if there are smut scenes or not in a book, but frankly, adding smut would have bloated this beyond being palatable.

The ending did feel rushed. We went from action packed, constant groin kicking (seriously, Harper's knees were groin magnets) to a shoddy custody exchange. It just felt half-finished. Overall, it was a great read for what I was looking for.
