Broken Halos MC #1
Claimed by the Outlaw
He’s a scarred ex-soldier.
I’m the city girl he found freezing in the mountain.
He carried me to his bed and told me he’s never letting go.
I thought owning a cabin meant freedom. I didn’t realize it meant staking a claim on Gunnar’s land—and on Oliver himself.
A mountain of muscle and ink, he speaks in growls and lives for the hunt. When he found me lost in a blizzard, he saved me from death… then made it clear: I belong to him now.
And God help anyone who dares cross the line.
He finds me in a blizzard, drags me to safety, then tells me he owns me. No romance, no patience—only possession.
He’ll fix my porch with jagged spikes. He’ll mark my neck so his brothers know I’m taken.
He’s the Vanguard: battle-ready, relentless, dangerous. But when it comes to me, he becomes a different kind of monster—the type who would burn the world to keep me safe.
He calls himself the wolf of the ridge. I’m the only thing he refuses to share.
This is a dirty, high-heat MC mountain man novella you can devour in two hours or less—perfect for a late-night binge, a stolen afternoon, or when you crave all the good stuff (one-bed forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine instalove) without any slow build or filler.
No cheating, no filler drama, just an obsessive MC Alpha Male that will do anything for her.
This Motorcycle Club love story is a stand-alone romance set in Rica Lane's interconnected small town of Pine Valley, which is the perfect place to find your next book boyfriend!

The Mountain Man
Oliver was the Vanguard keeping watch over his family’s mountain. Avery was looking for a home ever since she was a young girl after being passed around from place to from in the system. Now was her chance since she inherited a little home on the mountain. Even though it was falling apart and she was trying to do all the work on her own until Oliver showed up rescuing her from an incoming storm.
Watching Avery break down Oliver’s walls helped make this book a page turner. This was one of those city-girl and mountain man finding true love. Since this was the first book in the AHMC I cannot wait for more to come.

She was lost in the snow. He was the storm that found her.
Avery thinks the remote mountain cabin she inherited will be her fresh start. Instead, it puts her on the radar of Oliver, a scarred ex-soldier turned enforcer with a dangerous past and a rigid code. When he finds her freezing and hurt, he doesn’t just carry her inside his cabin. He brings her into his world of rules, firelight, and a kind of protection that feels a lot like possession.
Trapped together by the blizzard, the connection between them ignites fast and hits deep. Oliver doesn’t do soft. He does steel, silence, and complete control. But Avery isn’t scared of his scars. She sees the man beneath the armor and doesn’t flinch. And when he realizes she’s not just passing through, everything changes.
As danger creeps closer and the snow begins to melt, the fight to protect each other turns into something permanent. Something earned. And it’s worth every risk.
Avery grows from a runaway heart looking for freedom into a woman who stands her ground and builds something real. Oliver transforms from a silent weapon into a partner who protects not just with force, but with fierce devotion. Together, they rewrite what it means to feel safe, wanted, and home.
A steamy, instalove, opposites attract, snowed in, one bed, mountain man, motorcycle club romance packed with heat, tension, and emotional grit. It explores survival, belonging, trauma, healing, identity, intimacy, trust, protection, and redemption. It’s about claiming and being claimed, choosing love after loss, and building something unshakable in a world that once left them behind.
The Elevator Pitch: A snowed-in, high-heat romance where a scarred ex-soldier rescues a stranded woman and refuses to let her go. Their connection is instant, intense, and rooted in survival, trust, and the need to belong. Packed with emotional depth, protective obsession, and raw intimacy, their story hits hard and holds tight.

This is an insta love mountain man story. I know its also supposed to be MC based but there was almost no MC related action/storyline. I enjoyed the characters and I do like a strong female lead. They both have backstories that were touched upon and as a couple they worked.
I know it's a Novella but the book felt unfinished. I assume the storyline with the group snooping around Averys cabin who are looking for routes to run drugs & other contraban will continue in the following books, but that storyline just dropped about halfway through the book and wasn't pick up again. It also disappointed me that Oliver never told Avery about the men. It was a missed opportunity to create some tension in the story.
The repetitive key offering for her to decide where she was going to live is confusing as she already made the choice to stay with him and chose the key to his cabin. So why this scene keeps reappearing throughout the story and even in the bonus scene, i don't understand. There was also an inconsistency that occured while fixing a kitchen cabinet which a content editor should have picked up. It took place in his kitchen not hers.
I will read the next book in the series. I hope it has more depth and picks up the plot left hanging in this book.

It was free on my new kindle, dont judge me.
The story was ok.
The book really confused me because this was the first and only book I read in the series. The author doesn't really explain certain situations because she assumed that the readers would have learned about it in previous books.

I got this book as a free download and I was excited hoping I found a new Series to devour. But it just fell a bit short for me. I wanted to get to know the characters better but that never really happened, also some storylines didn't make sense to me and never really went anywhere. Lots of unanswered questions and the MC really did not play much of a part in the book. I might check out some of the other books in the series later to give the series one more try.

while it is steamy, I expected more from the book. it feels like the author is going to drag the story's conflict throughout the entire series because it was mentioned, there was a tiny altercation and then .... nothing. the author never went back to it. honestly, I got tired of the repetitiveness and the back and forth between characters.

How did this book get such high ratings? Honestly it was just ridiculous and it kept repeating itself over and over. When he gives her the keys the 1st time they both clearly state she’s going to stay with him. Then at least 2 more times he offers her the keys again for her to decide AGAIN. Also in the beginning of the book-what the heck was it with her fixing the cabinet in “her” house with the tools when they were clearly snowed in w/3 feet of snow at his house. Then the 2 guys at her house…..and the voice on the walkie that wasn’t his MC guys. Why was those 2 scenes in there? The scene in the workshop when he’s making stuff for her “home” which is clearly her cabin that they had already decided wasn’t her “home”
Honestly it was just confusing and ridiculous. Thank god it was a short book-if it had been a full length novel and the story kept going like that It would have been a hard DNF for me. But since this one was so short I pushed thru and finished it. Clearly I will not be putting in any effort to read the rest of the series.
I gave it 2⭐️’s because I did finish it so I can’t justify a 1⭐️ if I finish a book.

Claimed by the Outlaw by Rica Lane is a raw, possessive mountain romance that grips you by the throat and never pretends to be gentle—and that’s exactly why it works.
Avery isn’t chasing adventure or romance when she ends up on the ridge. She’s clinging to the only thing that’s ever truly been hers: a dilapidated cabin left behind by a long-lost uncle. After bouncing through the foster system her entire life, this small, forgotten piece of land represents freedom, stability, and belonging. Even as the cold sinks into her bones and hypothermia threatens, she refuses to walk away. This cabin is hers—and she will not give it up.
That’s when Gunnar finds her.
Scarred, battle-hardened, and living by brutal survival instincts, Gunnar is the wolf of the ridge—a former soldier turned outlaw protector who doesn’t hesitate when he sees a woman freezing on his land. He saves Avery from the storm, carries her to his bed, and makes his intentions painfully clear: she’s under his protection now, whether she agrees or not.
The forced proximity is immediate and intense—one cabin, one bed, and a blizzard that seals their fate. Gunnar doesn’t soften or negotiate. He fortifies the cabin with jagged defenses, marks Avery so his brothers know she’s claimed, and draws an unbreakable line around what’s his. His possessiveness is feral, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in the instinct to protect what he nearly lost to the cold.
What elevates this story is Avery’s resilience. She isn’t weak or passive—she’s stubborn, scarred by a lifetime of instability, and determined to hold onto the first real sense of ownership she’s ever had. Gunnar doesn’t take that strength away—he matches it with devotion so absolute it borders on terrifying. To the world, he’s relentless and dangerous. To Avery, he becomes a monster of a different kind—the one who would burn the world down to keep her safe.
Claimed by the Outlaw leans fully into its promises: alpha intensity, forced proximity, deadly protection, rugged mountain survival, and scorching heat with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA. It’s primal, possessive, and emotionally grounded in the desperate need to belong.
If you love snowbound romances with outlaw heroes, feral devotion, and heroines who refuse to let go of the only home they’ve ever had, this book will absolutely own you.

When Avery inherits a remote mountain cabin from her biological uncle, a man she has never even met, she is hoping for a fresh start. A refuge. A place to breathe. What she gets instead is less cozy cabin and more barely-standing shack, held together by equal parts rot, rust, and divine intervention. Still, it is quiet, isolated, and all hers. That illusion of safety lasts right up until everything starts falling apart. As a storm rolls in over the mountains, Avery is outside fighting a losing battle to shore up her porch using a pile of retro tools she barely recognizes, let alone knows how to use. Hours of effort get her nowhere. Then, out of the forest, emerges the largest man she has ever seen. Three strikes. That is all it takes for him to fix what she has been struggling with all evening. Oliver. Oliver Gunnar. He doesn’t say much, but he knows exactly what needs to be done, and he’s not about to leave Avery alone on that mountain to freeze. She’s heard of him. The Vanguard. Always watching. Always guarding. And yet, Avery is not afraid. Not of his size. Not of his scars. When she twists her ankle and he lifts her into his arms, she doesn’t flinch or pull away. I adored how he calls her Little Bird, like she is something fragile and precious, something worth protecting. Small and soft. But Avery has grit. She’s determined to learn how to survive on the mountain, and Oliver is the perfect man to teach her. Assuming he can keep his hands to himself, which is clearly becoming a problem. The tension between them is delicious. He is hanging on by a thread, and Avery wants him to snap. Once he does, there’s no going back. I loved how perfectly they fit together despite being complete opposites. He is hard, she is soft. He is huge, she is small. She is innocent, and he is … not. With a dash of Angel’s Hell MC drama adding extra tension, this is a fantastic start to what promises to be a fun, addictive new series.

Claimed by the Outlaw by Rica Lane, the electrifying first entry in the Broken Halos MC series, is as fierce as it is heartfelt. This story grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go, blending raw passion, rugged charm, and a pulse-pounding sense of danger that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
At the heart of the novel is Oliver Gunnar, a scarred ex-soldier whose alpha intensity leaps off the page. When he rescues city girl Avery Nolan from a deadly blizzard, the chemistry between them is instant and explosive. Rica Lane masterfully captures the forced proximity trope, trapping these two in a snowbound cabin where every glance and touch sizzles with anticipation. Oliver’s possessiveness is both terrifying and deeply romantic—he’s the kind of hero who would burn the world to keep Avery safe, and his devotion is as relentless as it is moving.
What sets this book apart is its authenticity. Oliver’s anguish and haunted past are portrayed with a realism that grounds the story, reminding readers of the true cost of war and the healing power of love. Avery’s journey from seeking freedom to finding herself claimed—body and soul—by Oliver is both thrilling and emotionally satisfying.
Expect all the best elements of a steamy MC romance: deadly protection, shirtless wood-chopping, and a hero who marks what’s his. There’s no cheating, just high-octane passion and a guaranteed happily-ever-after that delivers all the feels. The writing is sharp, the characters are unforgettable, and the story’s intensity will leave you breathless.
In short, Claimed by the Outlaw by Rica Lane is a must-read for anyone who loves their romance with a dangerous edge and a hero who’s as protective as he is passionate. Don’t miss out on this wild, addictive ride.

Snowed In, Claimed, and Completely Addictive
Claimed by the Outlaw is one of those novellas you tell yourself you’ll read “just a few pages” of… and then suddenly it’s over and you’re staring at the screen wanting more. Rica Lane wastes zero time dropping Avery and Oliver into chaos, and the intensity never lets up.
Avery starts out completely out of her element—a city girl chasing independence who ends up stranded in a blizzard—and that contrast works so well against Oliver’s rough, battle-hardened presence. He’s blunt, scarred, and unapologetically possessive, but there’s a clear line between danger and devotion. Once he decides Avery is his, everything he does revolves around keeping her safe, even when his methods are a little feral.
The forced proximity is done right: one cabin, one bed, bad weather, and no escape from the pull between them. Oliver’s protective instincts and MC edge give the story that gritty, outlaw vibe, while Avery’s reactions feel surprisingly grounded for such an over-the-top setup. Their connection burns fast, but it doesn’t feel careless—more like two people colliding at exactly the wrong (or right) moment.
This is a short, high-heat read with no filler, no unnecessary drama, and a very clear happily-ever-after. If you enjoy intense mountain men, obsessive protectors, and quick, satisfying instalove with MC flair, this is an easy one-click. Perfect for when you want something fast, fiery, and impossible to put down.

Wow, this was a very great story. I couldn’t figure out where things are going to lead. Oliver, who is a loner and the Vanguard for his motorcycle club, but who was also the Vanguard for his military unit comes across Avery trying to fix the home she inherited. Home is very broad term for this shack that is falling apart and resides at the end of Gunner land. She’s definitely not an outdoorsy person. Definitely has no idea what she’s doing and she’s trying to do it all in the rain with inept tools. After she screams he finds her trying to fix the railing but she isn’t able to fix with her hammer that the mallet part fell off of and hit her. He fixed the railing and then he gave the order that she was to follow him to his place because it was going to start storming and a blizzard was coming in. He knew she couldn’t stay in her shack it wasn’t safe and it wouldn’t withstand the cold and wind. She was shivering and cold already. He knew the heat wasn’t working in her shack and he couldn’t let her stay there get hypothermia and not make it through the night. Not on his mountain. He’s gruff and she’s alone. But independent. It’s definitely was fate that threw them together. I love there’s a bonus part because they had just couldn’t finish there at the first epilogue. I loved this book can’t wait to read the next of the brothers in the series. Since Oliver and his brothers are the leaders of their leaders motorcycle club.

I really enjoyed this book. The author did a great job of representing the demons that Oliver faces. Expect danger, possession, finding your soul and some emotional dark moments. There is a lot packed into this short read.
Oliver is the Vanguard of the mountains and of the Hell’s Angels MC. He is former military and his ghosts still haunt him. His job is to protect and stand guard. When he finds his little neighbor Avery trying to fix her rotting porch in the freezing rain his protective and possessive instincts kick in. He never meant to claim her only serve as a temporary shelter through the storm.
Avery is finally claiming a place as her own. She has grown up in the foster care system and a biological uncle she never knew left her a cabin. Well a shack is more like it. But Avery is determined and stubborn. What others see as a rotting corpse of a cabin she sees a home. When her brooding, dangerous neighbor demands that she come to his cabin to ride out the storm she is not sure what to expect.
She knows Oliver is dangerous but she knows he would never hurt her. She never expected to feel like he was the first place she felt like she belonged and was safe.
What happens when Oliver realizes that he needs to protect Avery for the most dangerous person he knows——himself?
Such an enjoyable emotional read.

This mountain man romance is a bit of a mixed bag—interesting in parts, but also quite strange and not always easy to enjoy. The setup itself is promising: a woman inherits a failing cabin, only to find that a man already lives there. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t fully work for me. Additionally I didn’t feel any biker vibes.
Romance-wise, everything moves very fast, and much of it feels more like telling than showing. The connection between the characters doesn’t really get the time or depth it would need to feel genuine or emotionally convincing. On top of that, there are small inconsistencies that pull you out of the story—for example, moments where the heroine tells him her name and shortly afterward wonders whether she ever did.
The age gap is also significant—he seems to be roughly twice her age—and combined with his very possessive behavior from the very beginning, it made it difficult for me to connect with the couple. His actions often come across as more weird than romantic, and the relationship never really felt like it evolved naturally.
Overall, the book does its job on a very basic level, but for me, it was hard to emotionally invest in the characters or their romance. It’s an okay read if you’re very into mountain man tropes and don’t mind rushed pacing, large age gaps, and possessive dynamics—but it wasn’t a standout for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Protective, tortured, and utterly consuming
Claimed by the Outlaw hits hard with a wounded alpha who protects first and questions his worth last. Oliver is the kind of protector who would die without hesitation—but believes, deep down, that he doesn’t deserve happiness, let alone Avery. That internal battle makes him even more compelling.
From the moment he saves her in the blizzard, Oliver’s instincts lock in: protect, shelter, defend. But instead of immediately claiming joy, he pushes her away, convinced his scars, his past, and his violence make him unworthy of her softness. That tension—wanting her while denying himself—is what gives this story real emotional weight beneath all the heat.
Avery isn’t weak or naive; she chooses him. She sees the man behind the growls and understands that his distance isn’t rejection—it’s fear. And when Oliver finally accepts that protecting her also means letting himself be loved? It’s incredibly satisfying.
The primal MC energy, forced proximity, and blizzard setting crank up the intensity, but it’s Oliver’s devotion that seals it. He doesn’t just guard her body—he guards her peace, her future, her right to feel safe.
Short, spicy, and emotionally charged. If you love a broken protector who would burn the world for the woman he thinks he doesn’t deserve, this one is a must-read. 🖤🔥.

Claimed by the Outlaw hits hard with a wounded alpha who protects first and questions his worth last. Oliver is the kind of protector who would die without hesitation—but believes, deep down, that he doesn’t deserve happiness, let alone Avery. That internal battle makes him even more compelling.
From the moment he saves her in the blizzard, Oliver’s instincts lock in: protect, shelter, defend. But instead of immediately claiming joy, he pushes her away, convinced his scars, his past, and his violence make him unworthy of her softness. That tension—wanting her while denying himself—is what gives this story real emotional weight beneath all the heat.

Oliver and Avery were the kind of couple you don’t see coming.
She began as quiet, guarded, unsure of her own strength. A woman who had learned to survive by staying small.
Then she discovered something that changed everything.
He needed her. Not casually. Not conveniently. Deeply. Desperately.
And in that realization, Avery rose.
She found her voice.
Her spine.
Her fire.
Oliver never tried to cage her or reshape her. Instead, he built her up. He repaired her cabin so she would always have a way out if she chose it. A safety net. A promise of choice.
Then he handed her a key to his place.
Not ownership.
Not expectation.
An invitation.
Two keys.
Two paths.
Avery chose him.
Not because she had nowhere else to go.
Not because she was afraid.
But because she wanted to stay.
They didn’t just fall in love.
They grew into it.
They earned it.
And when they said their vows, it wasn’t in a polished chapel or under crystal chandeliers.
It was beneath open sky.
Firelight dancing.
Engines rumbling in the distance.
Surrounded by the motorcycle club that had become their family.
Rough edges. Loyal hearts. Chosen bonds.
Oliver and Avery didn’t find a fairytale.
They built one.
And it burned bright. 🔥💛

Caitlin finally had somewhere to call home after being in the system. She inherited a home in the mountains from an uncle she never knew. The home wasn’t the best it needed repair badly but it was hers. She knew a storm was coming so she was trying and not succeeding to do some needed repairs before the house fell down. She never expected the exceptionally large man to come to her home.
Oliver had been watching the woman that didn’t belong on his mountain, he knew if he didn’t do something she wouldn’t survive. Watching her trying to repair things was painful. Time was up the storm was coming, he gave her a choice, come with him or she wouldn’t survive.
Most people are scared of Oliver because of who he is and how he looks but Caitlin isn’t bothered she even pushes him. Oliver starts to realise that he wants to keep her, he’s never been soft, but after trying to fight and Caitlin pushing him he gives in.
When Oliver sees someone near her cabin, he braves the storm and repairs her house to a fortress, she has to live there as much as she’s never leaving him, he wants her safe, he wants her still to own the house to have what she’s never had. Oliver at first makes it clear she’s never leaving, but then he gives her a choice and only hope she choses him.

Claimed By The Outlaw by Rica Lane is the first title I've read by this author and I wasn't disappointed.
As a biker, mountain man, forced proximity romance it had me hooked from the start with it's plot and storyline and engaging characters Oliver and Avery.
Oliver, an ex military biker mountain man, suffering horrors from his past service, lives alone on the mountain needing control and quiet but comes across his new neighbour Avery who has just claimed her inheritance of a run down cabin.
A fierce snowstorm brings Oliver to Avery's cabin and he is captivated by her but with the dangerous weather coming in his protectiveness and possessiveness kicks in, he needs to keeps her safe and takes her back to his cabin.
The forced proximity of the one bed cabin and bad weather allows the mutual attraction and connection to simmer leading to some high heat spicy scenes.
Overall the story was well paced although at times I was a little confused with the order of events or span of time, but with the sizzling chemistry of Oliver and Avery and their journey to the HEA, it was still a great read.

Claimed by the Outlaw is a quick, spicy MC romance that delivers exactly what it promises—gritty biker energy, strong grumpy-sunshine contrast, and intense primal attraction packed into a short, binge-able read.
The outlaw hero is rough, dominant, and unapologetically grumpy, while the heroine’s warmth and optimism create a fun and fiery contrast. Their chemistry is immediate, and the primal dynamic is front and center, making the story feel bold and high-heat without losing clarity or focus. For a shorter romance, the emotional beats land well and the connection feels intentional rather than rushed.
The MC setting adds edge and atmosphere, and the pacing keeps things moving quickly while still allowing space for tension and payoff. This book knows its audience and leans confidently into its tropes.
I’d recommend Claimed by the Outlaw to readers who enjoy spicy short romances, MC settings, grumpy-sunshine dynamics, and primal energy with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Little Bird & Oliver
Avery Nolan starts out the story as an orphan who has inherited a cabin in the mountains. Actually it's more like a lean too shack. It's barely standing as she tries to use ancient, rusty tools she finds. She's freezing but won't give up. It's the first place she's ever owned.
Oliver Gunnar is a Vanguard in the motorcycle club and refused to let her freeze to death. He's a mountain of a man and can see her lips are turning blue. So off to his cabin, his fortress, his sanctuary they go. He's not happy about it but he won't let her freeze to death. I loved that at times he called her, Little Bird. That is when he wasn't being gruff with her. Avery doesn't take long before she isn't afraid of the man, that everyone else fears !
There is another danger developing on the mountain and Gunner and the whole Motorcycle Club will not stand for it. He's not the Prez but he is the enforcer for the club.
Avery ad Oliver get their HEA but there will be more stories about this Club and the danger that is trying to be included on THEIR mountain !

First time reading Rica Lane and WOW — what a fabulous storyline, cast of characters, and overall read.
I loved how Avery balanced both her fierce and vulnerable sides. She wasn’t just swept away by the situation — she showed strength and heart. Watching her step into her power and ultimately win not just in life, but in love, was incredibly satisfying.
And Oliver… whew. I’m always here for a big, burly, battle-scarred wolf of a man with a soft heart, integrity, and a fierce need to protect what’s his. Yes, he’s intense and possessive, but underneath all that muscle and growl is a man who loves deeply and would burn the world to keep his woman safe. That contrast made him compelling rather than one-dimensional.
The forced proximity, the blizzard setting, the high-stakes protection — it all delivered exactly what this trope promises. And the BONUS epilogue? Thoroughly enjoyed it. The perfect final touch.
Miss Rica, you’ve gained a new fan. Keep it coming!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a fantastic short read that pulled me in right away and kept me entertained the entire time. The dynamic between the alpha male lead and the strong, independent female was one of my favorite parts of the story. Their chemistry felt natural and exciting, and I loved how their personalities balanced each other so well.
Even though it was a quick read, the author did a great job developing both characters and making their relationship feel meaningful. The pacing was perfect — fast enough to keep things moving, but still giving you time to connect with the characters and enjoy their journey.
Overall, this was such a fun and satisfying story. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who loves an alpha male/independent female pairing and wants something engaging that they can finish in one sitting.

This was a good OTT mountain man/MC crossover…
The FMC Avery is fierce, independent, stubborn and absolutely determined to carve out something that is HERS.
The MMC Oliver (The Vanguard) has a lot of ghosts….and quickly decides that Avery is his to protect, just like the rest of the mountain.
My only real complaint about this book is I felt like they went back and forth to much…they’re together and he’ll never let her go then the next day he’s pushing her away…lots of fierce declarations, then backtracking. I get that this is part of the tension of the story, I just get frustrated with it sometimes.
Having said that, it was enjoyable to read. I love the found family, the fierceness with which they love, the story itself was interesting with lead ups for following stories, although this couple gets their HEA. The steamy parts were great!.

A short steamy read that keeps you turning page after page. Avery spent her life in the foster care system —never having a room of her own or a key to her home. When an unknown uncle to her leaves her his cabin in the mountains, she determined to finally have something that is totally her very own. The cabin turns out to be more of a shack that’s ready to fall down. It’s raining, windy and she’s trying to keep the porch from falling when Oliver discovers her. Temperatures have dropped and a big storm is on its way. She’s soaked through, her lips are blue and Oliver demands she grab a few things and spend the night at his cabin. Oliver likes his solitude, but he’s also a protector. The Gunnar’s guard the mountain and protect the community. As feelings develop, the storm rages on. Good storyline and believable characters.

The pacing on this was really strange. They lay down to go to back to sleep right after having breakfast and then suddenly they’re waking up the next day. It was really hard to keep track of the timing. It was seemingly like only three days? But then so much would happen that it feels like it must have been a week, or a day would be over despite it having just started. I’m also really not a fan of the phrasing of her hands tangling in his beard? What does that even mean? Other than those issues, though, I thought that this was cute. I’m not huge on instalove, and I’m asexual so I’m not in it for the porn, but I still enjoyed it. I kept saying I was going to stop reading and go to bed but instead I read the whole thing in one night. I liked the FMC a lot. I liked that she wasn’t helpless and she was independent. All in all, pretty good! A fun short read if you can turn your brain off a bit.

Avery is trying to fix a rotted banister in the freezing rain. Fingers and Lips blue she's determined to make this crazy wooden Shack hold still. Then the six foot seven giant of a man comes through and stabilizes the railing and her. There's a lot going on in this book between Avery and Oliver. He comes from a big family and MC that doesn't give up it doesn't surrender to those who want to be villains. But somehow Avery has gotten under his skin and on his Mountain and keep playing to keep her safe and make sure that everybody knows that she is claimed and protected. Some light action in the story a lot of snow and a lot of getting to know each other and understanding how Oliver became the man he is. The question is will Avery accept who he is as the storm outside gets worse and meaner as the wind in the snow comes barreling from the sky. Oliver may be one of the most protective book boyfriends yet!.

This was such a comfort read in the best way. Snow, a broken cabin, a gruff mountain man, and a woman just trying to finally have something that’s hers? I was in immediately.
Avery broke my heart a little. She’s spent her whole life being passed around and this cabin feels like her last shot at a home, even if it’s falling apart. Oliver is exactly what you expect and still somehow better. Quiet, intense, protective to a slightly unhinged degree, but it works. Watching him slowly let Avery past his walls was honestly my favorite part. The grumpy sunshine trope is my favorite!
The forced proximity and snowed-in vibes were perfect, the connection builds fast but feels earned, and the whole story just hits that “finding safety and belonging” itch. It’s one of those city girl meets mountain man romances that just works. Loved it!.

I really wanted to love this book because I thought it would have more MC in it but the most we see of the MC is in the epilogue. I just don't feel like the title fit the book.
Avery inherited a cabin in the woods from her uncle and it's basically a run down fixer upper. Oliver sees her, because he sees and knows everything that happens on the mountain. A blizzard is rolling in and he knows if she stays there she will - no longer be breathing by morning - due to the structure of the cabin and her zero survival skills lol So he brings her to his cabin
"I’m not letting you go, Avery," I growl. "Keep that key. Come and go as you please. But you sleep here. With me."

From beginning to end, the narrative maintained a captivating hold on me, leaving me eager to discover what would happen next. The author truly excelled in crafting memorable characters that resonated deeply, and in weaving together a thrilling yet heartwarming reading experience that I will remember for a long time.

This was a fantastic, fast-paced read that packs a massive emotional punch. Oliver is the ultimate "haunted protector"—a former military member who is now a member of The Broken Halos MC who is battling some serious internal demons. When he finds his stubborn neighbor, Avery, trying to fix her dilapidated cabin in a freezing storm, his possessive instincts take over.
I loved the contrast between Avery’s determination to build a home from nothing and Oliver’s struggle to realize he’s the safe haven she’s been looking for. It’s a beautiful "touch her and die" vibe mixed with deep soul-searching. If you love brooding MC heroes, forced proximity, and stories about finding where you belong, don’t skip this one!
While this is a short read it still packs plenty of action and emotion into it
