Longing for More: ENCHANTED MOUNTAINS series
At Twin Pines State Park, nestled deep in the Enchanted Mountains, love is always just around the bend.
She's rooted. He's adrift. Can the park bring them together?
Mariah Rivera has spent most of her life near the park: walking its wooded trails, swimming in the sparkling lake, and knowing deep in her heart that this is where she belongs. But lately, even with a job at the lodge she loves and surrounded by all the beauty and peace she’s always loved, something still feels like it’s missing.
Luke Anderson never planned on coming back. His career and his jet-setting lifestyle are a far cry from who he used to be. But when life in the city falls apart, the treasured place of his childhood calls. Can a week at Twin Pines change anything?
What he doesn’t expect is Mariah—the park staffer who checks him in and whose brief touch sends a shock of something unfamiliar straight through him. In this tender and heartfelt first installment of the Enchanted Mountains series, two souls—one rooted and one restless—collide in a place where the stars shine brighter, the air feels lighter, and hearts can finally find what they were missing.

Okay, but who gave Eleanor Romany the right to write a romance that makes you want to pack your bags and move into a state park? Longing for More is cozy, heart-tugging, and basically the definition of “healing vibes only.”
Mariah has always been Twin Pines’ golden girl, walking the trails, swimming the lake, and living that small-town dream life. But even with everything she loves right in front of her, she can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing. (Cue the dramatic entrance of tall, broody man from the past.)
Enter Luke. He left Twin Pines for the big city, only to come crawling back when life smacks him around. He’s restless, she’s rooted, and when they collide? Yeah… instant sparks, even if neither of them really knows what to do with it.
And honestly? The setting is everything. The park feels alive, like it’s not just the backdrop but the matchmaker. Between the pine trees, the glittering lake, and the lodge, this book made me want to trade my Wi-Fi for starry skies.
If you’re into romances that feel soft, slow-burn, and just a little magical, Longing for More is calling your name. It’s one of those reads that makes you smile at your Kindle like a fool and then sigh dramatically when it’s over.

I love the detail
The story is so descriptive that I felt like I was right there, hiking through the trails, surrounded by all the wonderful sounds of nature. It's a sweet story of two people who unexpectedly find each other. They come from totally different backgrounds. Can they find a way to make it work?
