My Mountain Man's Obsession

by Lena Rae

My songs lack the passion only real experience can bring. When the mountain man finds me bathing in the stream, I can't help but wonder... will he be the one to give it to me?

I came back to Rock Creek to escape my past.
I didn’t expect to find her naked in the stream.
Sadie’s a fiery songstress, and when she asks for my help to gain the experience she needs for her songwriting, I agree. One night—that’s all I’m willing to give. No strings.
But the moment she looks at me with those innocent eyes, it’s clear there’s more going on than just a favor. She’s a virgin—untouched, craving more than just songs. And damn, I’m the one to give it to her.
One night turns into more, and now I can’t get her out of my head. She’s everything I want, and I’m already hooked. The only problem? I never wanted anything serious, but now I can’t walk away.

The musician and the mountain man! She needs experience, he’s been burned. Stormed in together, they find more than they bargained for, but lack the strength to grab it. Luckily, they were both braver than they thought, and that gets them thir HEA <3

Sadie is a woman chasing something she’s been told she doesn’t have — passion. Real, lived-in experience that can make her music mean something. So she does something bold: leaves the comfort of the known and heads to Rock Creek, a place that promises solitude, inspiration… and, as it turns out, an unexpected encounter with a man who sees more than just the surface.

Beau is rugged, private, and completely unprepared for the force that is Sadie — naked in his stream and full of fire. She’s everything he didn’t see coming: sassy, defiant, and determined to live life on her own terms. And yet, when a sudden storm rolls in and strands her at his cabin, their lives get tangled in ways neither of them planned.

What starts as a temporary shelter from the rain quickly becomes something neither one can ignore. The chemistry? Off the charts. But it’s the emotional pull that truly got to me — two people with walls built high, slowly learning how to let each other in.

Sadie wants experience, but what she finds in Beau is something deeper than she expected: vulnerability, trust, and a love that doesn’t ask her to change — only to stay. And Beau, who’s used to being alone, finds himself wondering if letting her go might be the biggest mistake of his life.

Will she leave to chase her dream, or will she realize that maybe this was the song she was meant to write all along?

This story is about more than just passion or attraction. It’s about timing, choice, and what happens when you find the right person at the wrong moment — and what you’re willing to risk to hold on. If you love small-town romance, fiery banter, and slow-burning, soul-deep connection, don’t miss this one.

Just wow! Are you interested in ebooks filled with unexpected moments, sizzling hot passion, and couples just meant for each other? Then you'll definitely want to get this ebook because it has all of that and more. Sadie has been told too many times that her music lacked maturity and experience. So she decides to go out and find it. Sadie is hiking through the mountain and is hot so she removes her clothing for a quick dip to cool herself off. Beau is getting his fishing guide business up and running and heads to a stream to enjoy some quiet time. Imagine his pleasant shock when he sees Sadie a young beautiful woman enjoying herself. Beau suddenly feels an intense pull towards her.Sadie hears someone and turns to see Beau a ruggedly handsome mountain man and she's undeniably attracted to him and makes a big decision. The chemistry between them is unbelievably explosive and their connection is electric like they were meant for each other. But will them coming together be exactly as it should or will dreams separate them? Can Sadie still go after her dreams when her heart wants to stay with Beau? Does Beau realize that being with Safie forever is worth risking his heart for? I really encourage you to get this awesome explosive hot 5⭐️ hit this exceptional author has written. You won't be able to put it down it's so good. You will absolutely love it. I definitely did.

Sadie was told her music was lacking passion and experience so she heads to Rock Creek on her own to feel experience. While bathing in the stream, she notices Beau looking at her. She is sassy and defiant with every question he asks her. When a storm hits, he has no choice but to take her to his place. When she looks at him, she knows he is the one she wants to gain experience in love. What starts out as only till the storm passes, turns into something more than they both expected. The attraction is hard for them to fight the closer they become. Will Sadie leave and continue her goal of becoming a famous singer? Will Beau let her go only to regret it? An entertaining story of two hearts finding what they were looking for. Highly recommend.

...they met by the water

🎣 🏞 🎼 ARC Review

My Mountain Man's Obsession by Lena Rae is Book #9 in the Rock Creek Series. (Each book is a standalone... all of them loosely connected by each of the books' characters & locations.) Sadie is trying to be bold in her life and cultivate new experiences - so she goes hiking by herself & skinny dipping to cool down. She just happens to go skinny dipping in Beau's favorite fishing spot... Their meet-cute is a feast of the senses & at the same time restraint. Sadie offers Beau a very tempting offer... which leads to a lot of ṣėx. 😏 A quick 'n steamy read of a woman wanting to get all the experiences she can & the sexy bearded man who gives it to her again & again & again... 🥵🔥💋 A HEA & future epilogue included.

[Curvy Girl Book Nerd (Jen S) · Rating 5 out of 5]

My Mountain Man's Obsession is Book 9 of the Rock Creek series. It's a short and steamy, forced-proximity, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, age-gap, curvy virgin gets her mountain man romance. Sadie is a 22-year-old curvy musician who is hiking and camping to clear her head. Beau is a hunky mountain man who runs a fishing charter business. When he comes across Sadie skinny dipping, he is immediately drawn to her. She feels the same way. When a storm hits, Beau takes her to his cabin as he is worried about her camping in the bad weather. Things get hot and S-T-E-A-M-Y, only for Beau to push her away. These two had great chemistry and we got a great HEA once Beau came to his senses. I loved it.

[JaneH · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sadie and Beau are oh so very likeable. He comes across her skinny dipping in a stream, a storm is coming and she is convinced by Beau that she must get out of the water and come to his cottage until the storm disappears.
Pretty much instantly attraction leads to intense passion. Yes, lots of spice along with emotional inner dialogue that indicates they both care deeply for the other.
A small glitch has her leaving the cottage but not for long. A beautiful, heartfelt HEA ending.

Sadie needed to live life to give a better voice to her music. Along the path to find herself she finds Beau. It was meant to be no strings and get experience as long as the storm was raging. That’s exactly what happens too bad temporary isn’t as appealing anymore. This adorable book is a great way to kick off this new series and I can’t wait to see what happens in book two.

My Mountain Man's Obsession is the 9th book in the Rock Creek series, but can easily be read as a standalone. The short insta-lust turned insta-love romance is filled with heat, beautiful scenery, a sweetly naive and innocent musican and a grumpy-with-a-gooey-center mountain man who falls under her spell. A quick and entertaining read with a cute HEA. I received an early copy and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

[Barbara Hanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

She’s just passing through and just needs some life experiences to make her music come alive.
He likes his simple life and has been burnt before, so just lives for the here and now.
Then they meet, and everything they thought they knew, comes into question.
A great story about following your heart wherever it may lead. I really enjoyed this book: it is well written and flows well, loved the ending.

My Mountain Man’s Obsession is a hot, hot hit! Beau and Sadie are off the charts for each other—it’s clear as day from the moment they meet, though they deny their feelings in the most tension-filled manner. With explosive chemistry, deep emotion, beautiful connection, and sexy, smexy steam, this is a must read!

Sadie is hiking and has gotten too hot, so she puts her large pack and guitar down, and slowly peels everything off, stretches and steps into the cold water.

Sadie was on a soul searching trip and met Beau while skinny dipping. Sparks fly and reluctantly Beau agrees to give in to the sparks flying between them. The push and pull between them is hotter than hot. However it’s the sweet connection that melts your heart and makes the HEA so special.

Fun, lighthearted romance when Beau catches something more than fish in his favorite spot. Liked the bold and sassy Sadie as she challenges Beau to the breaking point and giving in to his desires. Enjoyed how each felt so much, yet afraid to make the leap.

⭐️ARC REVIEW⭐️
This series always hits the perfect spot, with a spicy novella full of so much heart. This one felt even more instant than the others but it was a quick read that had me cheering for our main characters by the end. A an inexperienced musician is looking for just the right amount of living to infuse her music with something deeper than she has been able to, and boy does she find it and so much more when a skinny dip in the water puts her face to face with the perfect mountain man of her dreams.

I'll never get enough of these cute, spicy novellas. These mountain men from Rock Creek are insta-love goals and I love it. It's a short read, but a good read, and the spicy talk is always on point.
