Promised to the Mountain Man

by Summer Rose

I came to these mountains for a matchmaking trial, but I never expected to find a silver-bearded recluse who'd make me forget every reason I should leave.

After endless dating disasters, I sign up for a traditional matchmaker—and land in a remote cabin with Jason, a silent, silver-bearded recluse who's spent twelve years avoiding people. Me? I'm a city girl with curves that intimidate the wrong men and a desperate need to belong somewhere.

We have nothing in common except the heat that ignites whenever he looks at me. His calloused hands shouldn't feel so right against my skin. His protective instincts shouldn't make me feel so safe.

What starts as a week-long compatibility test quickly becomes something deeper. But Jason's walls weren't built overnight, and as snow threatens to trap us together, I realize I'm falling for a man who's forgotten how to let anyone in.

A man who makes me feel truly seen for the first time in my life. Can I convince him that what we've found is worth fighting for, or will I return to the city alone?



Promised to the Mountain Man is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Rosewood Mountain Men.

**Modern Day Mail Order Bride**

In the fifth book of the Rosewood Valley: Mountain Men series, called *Promised to the Mountain Man*, we meet Amber, who's had enough of dating apps that just lead to chaos. So, she takes a leap of faith and decides to try a traditional matchmaker. To her surprise, the very next morning, she gets an email saying she already has a match!

Jason, on the other hand, has been living alone for twelve years and is really missing that special connection. When Amber and Jason finally meet, things are a bit awkward at first since Jason isn't used to having anyone in his space. But the sparks between them are undeniable! As they chat, they realize they actually have a lot in common, much more than they expected.

This book is another fantastic instalove story that’s beautifully written, with a lovely emotional connection between the characters that’s both heartwarming and just the right amount of spicy. It’s such a fast-paced read that you won’t want to put it down! As always, I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series!

Promised to the Mountain Man is Book 5 of the Rosewood Valley: Mountain Men series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, age-gap, mail order bride, curvy girl gets her mountain man romance. Amber is a 28 year old curvy plus-size girl living in the city. She is not content and feels not seen or accepted by men she has dated. Jason is a 42 year old hunky, reclusive, silver-fox mountain man. When the two are matched in a dating-mail order bride sight, Amber goes to the mountains to meet Jason. The two are instantly attracted to one another but are a bit scared by the intensity of their feelings. Things end up getting hot and steamy. They really did have great chemistry, and we got a great HEA. I loved it.

This story was full of heart with wonderful and real characters and a bit of spice. Jason had cut himself off from society years previous after heartbreak, never wanting to experience such pain again. Amber was tired on her lonely city existence, tired of trying to fill it with frusterating and dead-end meet-ups. Taking a chance, these two met through a matchmaker for a trial, something Jason was certain would fail. The conversation and banter between them strengthened the story and kept the plot moving forward. It was a totally different world for Amber, and in a sense for Jason too. How they handled the change Saif alot about their characters.

I love mail order bride stories and instalove stories by Summer Rose. And Book 5 of Rosewood Valley: Mountain Men series is not any exception.
One more amazing short and steamy read. Amber and Jason are perfect characters who somehow don't fit with others but perfectly fit together. They just need to find their courage for changes. And no, it is not too much too fast when you get what fits you perfectly.
Great story, well written, I like the Author's writing style.

Amber and Jason are complete opposites but they are so perfect for each other in this matchmaker, mountain man romance. City girl Amber and Jason signed up with a matchmaking site and are matched so she heads to the mountains for a trial week and ends up staying for love. This age gap, instalove, mountain man romance has believable characters who find their happily ever after. Promised to the Mountain Man is book five and a great addition to the Rosewood Valley: Mountain Men series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Joy Parsons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great story from Summer Rose. The instant attraction between Amber and Jason made the story that much better! The idea of a mail order bride or arranged coupling gave the story another unique feature and helped out with the story overall. For a short read, there is a lot going on from page 1 to the end.

If you've ever felt the silence and melted into it, then you belong.

What a soft and gentle story for those of us who feel out of place but really don't want to be totally alone. I felt so at home reading this wonderful lesson. Thank you for the peace and calm.
