Mountain Men of Pine Valley #3
Claimed by the Rugged Mountain Man
One night of passion with a possessive mountain man changed my life forever. Now I'm carrying his baby, and he'll move mountains to prove he's all in.
Jennifer
All I wanted was to chase my dreams as a singer at Timber Trail Tavern. But one look at Dane—with his intense blue eyes and commanding presence—and I knew my life would never be the same. One passionate night together turned into the surprise of a lifetime when I discovered I was pregnant.
When he disappeared for a month without a word, I thought I'd have to face this alone. But now he's back, more protective than ever, and determined to prove that what we have is real. The way he looks at me—like I'm his entire world—makes me wonder if sometimes the best things in life are completely unplanned.
Dane
I never expected anyone to break through my solitary life in the mountains. Then Jennifer walked into that bar with her sultry voice and curves that drove me wild, and suddenly my quiet existence didn't seem enough anymore.
When family obligations forced me away, I thought I'd lost my chance at happiness. But now I'm back, and she's carrying my child. She thinks this might be too much, too fast—but she doesn't realize she's everything I never knew I needed.
The mountains have always been my home, but Jennifer and our baby? They're my future. And I'll do whatever it takes to prove that this rugged mountain man can be the partner and father they deserve.
If you love steamy instalove romances featuring protective alpha mountain men, curvy singers who know their worth, unexpected pregnancies, and small-town charm that leads to forever love, Claimed by the Rugged Mountain Man is your next obsession!

This story will make you believe in the power of destiny. How else can you explain the serendipitous meeting of two people who couldn’t be more different, at least on paper. Jennifer is new to town, chasing a fresh start and a lifelong dream of becoming a singer, with an important audition at the Timber Trail Tavern. Dane is a rugged, solitary mountain man who rarely ventures into town. And yet, on this one fateful night, their worlds collide in a way that feels meant to be. From the instant their eyes meet, the connection is electric—intense, undeniable, as if the universe itself conspired to bring them together. When Jennifer takes the stage, it’s as though she’s singing just for Dane. And after the show, when they speak, their words are bold, honest, and stripped of pretense. No games. No hesitation. Just raw, mutual desire. One night—no strings attached. Jennifer is tired of playing it safe, and for once, she’s ready to embrace the unknown. But morning comes, and Dane is gone. And this—this is where I had a bone to pick with him. Yes, he had his reasons, but come on, Dane! A ten-second note? A phone number? Something? But instead, Jennifer is left wondering if she was just another fleeting moment in his wild, untethered life. And honestly, who could blame her for feeling abandoned when he vanishes for an entire month? Yet, when Dane returns, everything changes. The stakes are suddenly much higher, the emotions deeper, and Jennifer finally discovers the reason behind his sudden departure. And let me just say, I absolutely loved the way Dane stepped up when he learns he’s going to be a father. No hesitation. No excuses. Just a man determined to prove where his heart truly lies. The way he scrambles to prepare for Jennifer and their future together is absolutely swoon-worthy. If you love possessive, fiercely devoted mountain men and a romance that feels like fate, this book is definitely for you. 😊

Jennifer hadn’t planned on staying anywhere until she happened upon Pine Valley and saw that the local tavern were holding auditions for a singer. A dream she had always had, she was trying to get her nerves under control when she met a man that changed everything. Dane and she had an instant connection and whilst singing she could only concentrate on him, she should have been surprised that he inspired feelings she’d never had before and ones she acted upon, but he only ever promised one night and he was gone when she woke up. That was over a month ago and she believed that she’d never see him again but now he is back claiming that they are meant to be, but he’s left her once before can she trust him to stick around especially when she shares her own news?
Dane very rarely ventured off of Pine Valley Mountain, but something made him go to the tavern that night, the night he met Jennifer, he had never felt this all consuming passion before and knows he need to have her at least once, he never expected to want more than a night. But when he is called away by an emergency he is loathe to leave her. So much time had passed and he is devastated he didn’t leave a note. Dane wants his woman so after his mum is ok he is off to find and claim her as his. Will Jennifer give him the opportunity to explain or has he missed his chance at love?
Dane was a recluse and Jennifer was his sunshine, there was no way that you can’t want them to be together. This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed the story. 4.3* read.

Dane was a loner living up on the mountain. People tended to stay out of his way. But he was in the tavern one night when a young woman started to sing, and he questioned his whole solitary life.
Jennifer was auditioning at the tavern, but she wasn't quite ready to go in. This was a bit of a turning point for her, make or break. When she finally worked up the courage, she collided with a solid wall of muscle. She looked up into piercing blue eyes. Eyes of a predator. And she was squarely in his sights.
After such an intense first meeting, they could barely keep their eyes off each other, and later, their hands. But when a family emergency happened, Dane had to leave in the middle of the night, without so much as her number.
A month later, he was finally able to return, but things had changed. Jennifer was no longer the open hearted woman he had fallen for. There was hurt in her eyes.
Could Dane convince Jennifer that she hadn't been just a one night stand, and he never wanted to walked away? That she was his, and he would spend the rest of his life proving how much she meant to him?
OK, so Dane was a bit of an idiot, but he made up for it many times over! He was really sweet in his efforts to show Jennifer how much he cared, turning his bachelor's cabin into a space that was ready for her and their future.
This was a good little instalove story, with a gruff mountain man and the woman who brings music to his life.

Sometime fate steps in changes things to have things her way so hangs on until the last page has been turned 😊. Dane sexy as all get out lone wolf so to speak lives up in the mountain rarely interacts with others if we are honesty, he doesn’t we could say he doesn’t like humans, he heads to the tavern after not leaving the mountain in months and runs into the most beautiful sight or person. Jennifer is new town trying her hand at her dream of being a singer so attending an audition at the tavern, where she gets lost in the song, she is singing along with everyone else especially a loan ranger mountain man, and when she steps down off the stage one night of letting go. They didn’t expect the magnetic pull to be so strong but when she woke up, she was alone with no note just nothing and Dane is nowhere to be found adding to that new town what’s a girl to think but she pulls it together moving on the only issue she couldn’t forget him oh, and she finds out he left her with a precious gift. Dane is upset with himself for not thinking of leaving a note or something but the emergency, but will she understand, will she give him a chance to even explain, will she still be in town considering she was new to town, especially with the way he left her, and are they meant to find happiness somewhere along the way?

Jennifer is clutching her guitar case standing outside Timber Trail Tavern. The owner comes out and tries to make her less anxious. When she hears something she turns and is stunned with gorgeous hunk of male standing in front of her.
Dane escorts her into the tavern. He;s a lone wolf, and a survival expert. An alpha over all alpha males. He is mesmerized when he hears her sing. He goes and tells her that he's found a reason to head down his mountain. The he tells her what he wants and that she will know what it's like to be wanted and her body claimed.
Jennifer is 30 and tired of being a good girl. So she gives in to him because her body is begging for him. He tells her one night no strings.
The next morning when she wakes he's gone. She feels lost and alone but remembers it was just one night. So she focuses on her new job of singing at the tavern. What she doesn't know is that Dane's mother called needing him. So he goes to her without waking Jennifer up.
A month later he heads back to his mountain. He knows it's been too long for a wolf to leave his mate unguarded. She is so much his.
But will she want him?
A beautiful love story.

Claimed by the Rugged Mountain Man" is part of the Timber Trail Tavern series by Rica Lane.
This is a delightful and charming love story about Dean and Jennifer. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it captivating from beginning to end. The chemistry between Dean and Jennifer is palpable and intense. Dean was immediately smitten when Jennifer began singing in the Timber Trail Tavern. However one passionate night led them on a journey that neither of them foresaw.
I appreciated how Dean embodies the ideal of a mountain man: rugged, possessive, and the quintessential alpha, yet also careful, gentle, thoughtful, caring, and very protective of Jennifer and her needs, which adds warmth and security to the story.
Although their initial journey presented some difficulties, it enriched their character development and the narrative as a whole. A delightful bonus epilogue also provides a satisfying conclusion to the story.
I absolutely adored this novella and can't recommend it enough.

Jennifer and Dane’s Story . . .
Jennifer is a nervous wreck as she stands outside the door of the Timber Trail Tavern where she is about to become the night’s musical entertainment as she auditions. The owner gives her a pep talk, and she is about to head inside when she collides with a solid wall of muscle. Dane Parker’s blue eyes capture her, her body reacting to his closeness. Dane hadn’t left his cabin for 6 months, but heard there was new talent and he came down to hear her sing. Then he escorts her inside. The crowd faded away and she sang directly to him. But the crowd erupted in thunderous applause, whistles, and cheers while Dane walks to the stage and lifts her into his arms. He wants a night with her. Then he disappeared without a word and when she collapses on stage a month later, she discovers she is pregnant.
Dane wanted to tell her about his reason for disappearing as he did. But will she be willing to listen? Could he convince her they have a future waiting for them? Or will she choose not to risk her heart?

Jennifer (h) came to Pine Valley for a fresh start, not to fall for a brooding mountain man. But from the moment she crashes into Dane (H) outside the Timber Trail Tavern, everything changes. He’s rugged, possessive, and makes it clear he wants her. Just for one night. No strings. That night is unforgettable. And in the morning, he’s gone. Dane never planned to leave, but when circumstances pull him away, he vanishes without a word. A month later, he’s back, ready to claim what’s his—only to hear Jennifer say the two words that change everything. She’s pregnant. With his baby. Jennifer doesn’t trust him to stay. Dane refuses to let her push him away. He’s determined to convince her that she belongs with him. That their baby isn’t the only thing tying them together. That one night was never enough. Steamy instalove, second chance, mountain man romance, exploring love, connection, taking chances, and belonging.

This story of Dane and Jennifer has a lot of action, drama, feelings, SPICE, and love.
Jennifer is just trying for a fresh start, but was drawn to Dane from the moment she saw him. Shooo ladies....Dane has a confidence and a swagger that'll make you fan yourself in the middle of winter. He's bold, but he knows what he wants, even if he lets her think its just one night.
Sometimes life gets in the way and made them lose their way with each other. Dane isn't afraid to fix his mistakes as soon as he's back in town, and Jennifer needs a little convincing. She is giving Dane all the things he's ever wanted, and she's getting the chance for a HEA she didn't see coming moving into the small mountain town.
Its got fire, heart, drama, and a beautiful HEA.

Claimed by the Rugged Mountain Man is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, curvy virgin gets her mountain man romance. Jennifer is a 30 year old curvy singer. Dane is a 33 year old hunky, burly, and intense mountain man. He's used to solitude, but when he sees Jennifer singing at the local tavern, he is drawn to the curvy beauty. He proposes one night of passion, and she agrees. The night is amazing, but when she wakes up, he is gone without a trace. What happened? These two had insane chemistry. The separation bothered me a bit, but I am glad this couple got their HEA after the drama.

I loved this short story! Dane is HOT! Sizzling hot!! The chemistry between the MC's was great. Dane was so sexy. It was like love at 1st sight. They just clicked and decided to spend only one wild night together. But only one.
They both fell hard for each other. But the next morning Dane was gone.
Jennifer didn't see him for a month. When she finally sees him she wants nothing to do with him. Not until he proves himself to her.

I enjoyed this book; it was quick, steamy, and heartwarming. Although it is an Insta-love romance, I would almost say it is Insta-lust, and then you have a little time gap for our MCs to mull things over and then come back together, and I liked that component. Dual POV was nicely done, the story was reasonably developed for the intended length, and there were a few supporting characters to help the story feel more complete.

Songstress Jennifer and mountain man Dane had strong chemistry from first look. Dane was a solid man not only dropping everything to take care of his mom, but also then coming back and proving himself to Jennifer. A little redundant at times, but good story and Dane was a great example of how a man should treat his woman (despite having have left for a month without word).

This is a standalone book with no cliffhanger.
