REED: age gap, grumpy mountain man, small town romance

Rate this book
According to his siblings, Reed Woodman is a grouchy recluse since he came back from serving his country. Living on his mountain, keeping his distance from everyone and anyone. At almost forty, he’s pretty set in his ways.

Until his new neighbor moves in.

Camila Mendes is too loud, bright, and annoying.

The woman has the face an angel would envy but a singing voice that would annoy the devil himself. No matter how much Reed tries, everything the annoyingly, beautiful woman does feels like a siren song that speaks to his heart.
Reed knows it’s only a matter of time until someone claims his beautiful ray of sunshine and she becomes the one who got away. Maybe this old dog can learn new tricks still left in him? Because losing her is not an option.
Reed is going to claim what’s belonged to him from the moment she leapt out of that moving truck. Her heart, body, and soul.

Dear Reader!
Getting Woodsy is a new series that takes place in Moonlit Pines. These rugged older men might be stubborn, but when they fall, they do it hard!

Great quick read

Mayra Statham does short steamy reads really well. While there’s definitely some almost-instalove going on here, the romance doesn’t feel underdeveloped. It’s fun, steamy and swoony. Just the thing for a quick diversion from reality.

Fair warning though, there are a few typos.
I don’t know what Mayra’s beta reader situation is, but I humbly offer to read through any future novellas before publishing. It is a real shame to have the flow of these great reads broken by how many times I have to stop and figure out what was supposed to be written.

Reed

What an amazing story about a mountain man, secluded himself where his cabin in, doing his woodwork and living his life. Not needing a lot of people around, until a new neighbor comes along, at first thinking she is more of an annoying person, but soon changes. Join in their journey as they both find themselves together and discover that maybe there’s more to being secluded neighbors. Loved this story.

Loved Reed and Camilla

Reed is one grumpy mountain man until Camilla moves in next door. For some reason he can’t seem to get enough of her, even her horrible singing. He’s fallen in love but can he get this beautiful younger woman to fall for him. I loved this feel good sweet and steamy story. Well written great story and a great HEA.

Fast and smutty but very little substance. Also could have benefited from some editing.
