A Real Man #1
Lumberjack
He hasn't been with a woman in five years. She hasn't been with a real man... until now.
VIVIAN
I've had enough of the crap that goes along with living in the city. So, I packed for a weeklong vacation in the mountains. Isolation in a cabin for the next seven days sounds like a good way to recoup and get my life back in order. After getting lost while hiking, I stumble upon a cabin that has me questioning whether to ask for help, or if I should brave staying the night in the woods.
JAKE
I left everything behind years ago after the woman I was with betrayed me. Now I work as a lumberjack and live my life as a recluse. Being celibate for the last five years says a lot about my self-control, but I'm a man and have needs, and not giving into what I really want is hard as hell. But I can't let myself get close to anyone, not even for a few hours. Getting close is how I got screwed over before.
As soon as I see Vivian, I know I have to have her. It's been forever since I've had a woman. Because of a storm rolling in, she'll have to stay with me overnight. We could do a lot of filthy things in that time. I pride myself on my control, but when it comes to Vivian, I don't know if I can keep my hands to myself. I know I can't. I have needs, and it's clear Vivian's in need of a real man to help her unwind. I can certainly help her in that department.
Warning: If you're looking for a sappy, pull-your-heartstring kind of book... this isn't it. If you want a short and dirty story featuring an all-around alpha hero who hasn't had a woman in years, and a heroine who'll find out what it's like to be with a real man... this might be for you.

"If you want my cock in your cunt, you'll ask me for it."
Oh. God.
"And I know you want all ten inches of my huge cock shoved deep inside you."
Ten inches?
Shit.
His words were so vulgar. Goddammit, they turned me on.
"Give it to me," I said with more force than I thought I could have mustered right then. "Give me that big cock."
Oh, gosh. >.<
This had such potential. Erotica featuring a bearded, muscly lumberjack who lives in the woods and hasn't had sex in five years. Yay! A woman, who in an effort to get away from her mundane city life and forget about her cheating ex, ends up in the same woods. She gets lost and ends up on lumberjack's doorstep. A storm is coming and she'll have to stay the night. Yay! Excellent. Great idea here.
However, the book is just awful. I mean... it's just awful.
Let's break this down.
1.) Horrible dirty talk. Just awful. See my opening quote for an example.
"Take it all, baby," I gritted out through clenched teeth as I pumped my seed into her.
I would NOT be able to take a guy seriously who said this in bed. I would be laughing hysterically and if he was saying this seriously - not as a joke - we would probably never have sex again.
"Isn't it so fucking hot, baby?"
Why are you asking her this during sex? Just shut up and fuck her! Do you have to talk about it so much?!?!? Jeez.
"I am going to tear you up, Vivian, and devour every fucking inch of you.... Tomorrow, you will still feel my big dick in your pussy and will remember everything I have done to you."
UGH.
"You might have been with men that like you to be in control," he said and spanked my ass especially hard. "But here, with me, I'm the one in control." He pulled out so just the tip was lodged in me. "With me, Vivian, I'm the man, and you're the woman." ... "When you're with me, I'm the one who does the fucking, baby, not the other way around."
UGH. You're not even good in bed. Your terrible sex is only exacerbated by saying sexist garbage like this.
2.) Telling a woman not to come. Ordering a woman to come. Telling a woman when she's 'allowed' to come. I hate this shit. I find it completely disgusting and very annoying. It is a huge turn-off and would be an instant sex DNF for me IRL. Get off me. We're done. There's the door.
"You won't come until I say you can," he said against my flesh, his words muffled.
I seriously would be enraged.
3.) He took the glass out of my hand and set it beside him on the table. But he didn't move after that, just stood in front of me, his jean-covered dick right in my face, his erection tenting the material.
This is just gross and rude. Not a good way to get laid, if any men are listening.
4.) Lots of talk about anal sex and how he's going to 'own her ass' etc. but they never ever have anal sex. Which is good, I hate anal sex and never want in in my erotica, but it was super-weird that they talked about it a lot but never did it.
Point 4b: Also, she has never had anal sex. She literally met this guy a half hour ago. And she is completely okay with him having unprotected anal sex with her. "I would do whatever he asked!" etc. etc. Like, what? WHAT? This is just so completely ridiculous.
5.) He licks her asshole a lot. This is something that, personally, I find very gross and a turn-off. I don't want it in my erotica ever. Just no. YMMV.
6.) "I need it raw, Vivian. I need to feel your pussy walls around me. I don't want anything between us." We looked at each other for a second. "I don't have a condom anyway, but I'm clean."
Minus one zillion points! Boo! Hiss!
6a: If I was doing this, then I was REALLY doing it.
Message: Condomless sex is the only "real" sex. Having sex with a condom is somehow fake.
7.) "Don't go slow," I moaned in frustration. "Just shove that big dick in me."
Okay, in ALL of Snow's Real Man series - all of them, every single one - females say, "I don't want foreplay, just rough and fast sex." Even when they are virgins. Is she just too lazy to write foreplay? Does she just want her virgin characters to experience lots of pain? Inquiring minds want to know.
Why is slow, thorough fucking considered "not sexy?" I think slow, thorough sex with tons of foreplay is AMAZING. Why is only rough, hard and fast sex featured in erotica? WHY? I can't believe I'm the only woman on Earth who thinks slow sex with tons of foreplay is amazing. Can I?
I don't read erotica to read male-produced porn put on paper. I don't want deep-throating, coming on a woman's face, no foreplay, jackhammer fucking, no clitoral stimulation garbage. I want stuff that actually feels good and actually constitutes good sex. Why is stuff that feels good for women and makes women cum (in real life) and is a turn-on for women considered unsexy even in books that ostensibly women are writing for other women?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Why. Why. WHY. *Carmen is filled with despair*
8.) The scent of him washed over me. It was concentrated, wild, and woodsy.
Every single hero in a REAL MAN novel by Snow smells exactly the same. It's weird.
9.) And she did just that, obeying me like a good girl.
I am going. To fucking kill you. Jake. You asshole.
10.) Three sex scenes, no foreplay, always she wants it fast and rough. Always she is just like, "Forget foreplay, just shove your penis in." WHY WHY WHY Three sex scenes. That just nails how horrible in bed this hero is. But yet he's 'the best she ever had.' I find that very hard to believe as she wasn't a virgin when she met the hero. They've been together three years. Apparently she has very low standards.
11.) I find it baffling that Snow doesn't say 'pussy' and 'cunt' and instead says 'pussy hole' and 'cunt hole.' This is terrible. Terrible. It sounds really awful.
A groan spilled out of me at the sensation of his thick cockhead right at my pussy hole.
Ugh.
The thick crest of his cock pressed against my pussy hole again, and he paused for a second.
Just replace 'pussy hole' with 'pussy' in these sentences and I think you'll see it sounds 100x better and much less like a 9-year-old wrote this.
Tl;dr - Horrible waste of time. If you want jill-off material (which I completely understand) you can do way better than this. Way better. Such a waste of a good plot and a good cover.
P.S. The fact that he apparently measured his penis, found out it was 10 inches, and can't fucking shut up about it in bed, needing to repeat it over and over and over makes me think he is extremely insecure and weak.
Oh. God.
"And I know you want all ten inches of my huge cock shoved deep inside you."
Ten inches?
Shit.
His words were so vulgar. Goddammit, they turned me on.
"Give it to me," I said with more force than I thought I could have mustered right then. "Give me that big cock."
Oh, gosh. >.<

I enjoyed this short, sexy, and sinfully delicious read!
Five years ago, after being betrayed by his girlfriend and best friend, Jake took the decision to get away from his toxic life and to moving out in the middle of nowhere. He’s now a lumberjack living his life as a recluse. Tired of the world around her and what is going on in her life, Vivian wants to break away from it all and decides to take a weeklong vacation in the mountains.
By choice Jake hasn’t been with a woman in five years and Vivian’s in need of a real man to help her unwind, one fateful encounter and you get the picture…
I picked up this book knowing full well that it was going to be a hot smut-fest. There is little character development and plot, insta-lust-love, one hell of a tattooed and bearded dirty talking Alpha male hung like a horse who knows how to use an ax and blazing HOT sex scenes!
This is my first book by Jenika Snow but definitely not my last. Because who doesn't love a well-written smutty read from time to time ?

Lumberjack is book one in the series, A Real Man, by Jenika Snow. I’ve had this book on my kindle for a long time and finally read it! It took me long enough!
Jake Braxton is thirty five years old. After catching his girlfriend cheating, he’s had it with city life. He packed up and moved to the mountain. He’s lived there for five years now. He works as a lumberjack during the day and lives as a recluse at his cabin the rest of the time. He doesn’t socialize and hasn’t been with a woman in five years.
Vivian Clarke is twenty nine years old. She’s been increasingly unhappy with her life so a week’s vacation up in a mountain cabin is just what she needs. Maybe a hike as soon as she got there was a little too spontaneous but she’s excited to be in the peaceful woods. Only she got turned around and is hopelessly lost. With a big storm on the horizon, she finally spots a cabin with the biggest man she’s ever seen. He offers her safety but can she trust him?
“I’m about to claim every single part of you. I’m about to own every inch of you. And when I’m done with you, Vivian, you’ll know exactly what it’s like to be with a real man.”
Vivian is every fantasy Jake has ever had. And Jake is exactly what Vivian’s been missing with past men she’s known. Their one night together fulfills every desire they could have. But Vivian needs to figure out her life. Jake knows he wants Vivian, to make her his forever, but she has to want it too.
This book is hot, hot, hot! Jake is one dirty talking lumberjack. This was a short, steamy read. I loved the epilogues most of all with such a sweet look into their future. I think that was my favorite part of all. I looked through the rest of this series and there are several that interest me. The next one is called Virgin. Much later in the series, I saw another Mountain Man book which is what I am looking for at the moment. You should definitely check out this series. I am positive at least some of the books will grab your interest.

A storm is coming and our heroine is stranded in the woods and needs to find shelter.
And what do you know?
She stumbles upon a cabin, and who's inside?
A very horny lumberjack who just happens to be into red-heads...
😂😂
This is a fast read. I finished the audio in a mere hour...
Especially if you're in a reading jam and needs something to snack on before you can start a longer book.
Do ENJOY!!

“Red is my fucking favorite color.”
JAKE BRAXTON IS MY FKN FAVOURITE LUMBERJACK.
AND JENIKA SNOW HAS EARNT ONE ADDITIONAL FAN OUT OF ME.
Many a time I checked to make sure I wasn't reading an Alexa Riley book. Many a time I braced myself for the onslaught of the words cum, cumming - Riley's signature *shudders*
But nothing jumped at me.
There is, however, another word that didn't do any good to my sanity
Seriously, do these authors have to be so blunt?
Anyhoo, I loved Snow's version of smut. Loved lovedlovedlovedloved it actually.
Jake.
Oh God. I just wanna climb this mountain of muscles and have my way with him.
But before that, let's get on to the story first.
Two souls, both trying to escape from the craziness life has offered them.
One had become recluse and shut himself from the outside world and lived in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
Worked as a lumberjack for income.
The other, decided to rent a cabin 3 hours from the city to get some breathing space and disconnection from her suffocating everyday routine.
Both had cheating exes.
Both met.
I have to say, our heroine, Vivian, just happened to be the perfect red head our hero wanted.
That's ok, I can live with that.
Jake Braxton on the other hand, is in serious need of a refresher course and I'll give it to him.
*clears throat*
Jake, honey, I know you haven't been with a woman for five years but I guarantee you, NO, I AM TELLING YOU, female anatomy hasn't changed since your cheating ex. I dunno why you have this need and fascination to
Not very hygienic *shakes head for disapproval* and also
You need to go further up a bit.
Jake?
Sweetheart, focus.
Up.
Yes. Up a little bit more.
That's it.
As I've said, still on the very same spot.
And I must say, very impressive with that 10 inches of yours. It made me think though, do males really measure it?
Like this?
Or maybe like this? Enlisting others' help.
Coz I'm sure as f*ck women don't. They may with their chests but it's the cup sizes that determine the measurement.
Nevertheless, I devoured this in one sitting and I'm the slowest reader in my group.
Giving it 4 stars.

3.5/5
Vivian was mine, and I’d make her see it. She belonged with me out here in the wilderness. If I had to throw her over my shoulder and drag her back here like a caveman, I sure as fuck would.
One hell of an insta-lust/insta-love story!
Possessive alpha heroes are my weakness. Just hearing the word ‘MINE’ is enough to make my heart melt into a puddle! Our hero, Jake, is a lumberjack. Wait, somebody please help me! Lumberjacks are also my kryptonite!
Well, back to Jake. He’s a lumberjack who had lived in the middle of nowhere and had been celibate for five years. One day after answering the door, he found a gorgeous redheaded woman standing there on his doorstep. He couldn’t help but stare at her and felt instantly attracted to her.
Vivian took a week off work and went straight to a cabin in the mountains. She went hiking and got lost, and then there was someone’s cabin in her sight. She had to decide whether to stay out all night in the woods or risk asking whoever in the cabin for help.
There was not much going on in this novella. The plot mostly focused on sexual fulfillment but I wouldn’t say it revolved around sex only. There were some impressive moments that simply hit the spot for me. I found the story was fun, hot, sexy, lovely, and a little bit hilarious at times. Normally I’m not the type of person who enjoys the shallow plots and superficial characters, but for some unknown reason, this book was just more than fine with me.
Despite its very short length, this novella could be considered a well-written and compelling one. If you’re looking for a sexy smutty short story, go grab this one—it’s for you!
Vivian was mine, and I’d make her see it. She belonged with me out here in the wilderness. If I had to throw her over my shoulder and drag her back here like a caveman, I sure as fuck would.
One hell of an insta-lust/insta-love story!
Possessive alpha heroes are my weakness. Just hearing the word ‘MINE’ is enough to make my heart melt into a puddle! Our hero, Jake, is a lumberjack. Wait, somebody please help me! Lumberjacks are also my kryptonite!
Well, back to Jake. He’s a lumberjack who had lived in the middle of nowhere and had been celibate for five years. One day after answering the door, he found a gorgeous redheaded woman standing there on his doorstep. He couldn’t help but stare at her and felt instantly attracted to her.
Vivian took a week off work and went straight to a cabin in the mountains. She went hiking and got lost, and then there was someone’s cabin in her sight. She had to decide whether to stay out all night in the woods or risk asking whoever in the cabin for help.
There was not much going on in this novella. The plot mostly focused on sexual fulfillment but I wouldn’t say it revolved around sex only.

This book?
I didn't see the number of pages, so when I saw that I had about 5% left of the book I panicked (again), thinking I don't have the whole book.
Still, what can I say, it was a hot one!
I mean, it had its bad parts, but it didn't lack in hotness! I really liked the guy (that big, alpha male) and she wasn't too bad either. And I really appreciated the drama-free book!
Still, as I said before, I think it's almost impossible to write a really good book (even a 3.5 one) in under 150 pages (I'd say 200 but I've read some promising ones at less than that). So, as predicted, the characters didn't really feel like they had a relationship, they didn't grow, and I wanted to know more details about stuff (and if you know me, you know I hate details, so this is big!).
All in all, a really good short book (nook?), though it lacked some pretty essential items in a romance (but hey, it made me feel stuff (and not anger), so it deserves 3 stars).

This author can be hit or miss with me, but with a cover like that, there was no way I wasn't going to read this one. And lucky me, this was a good one. I especially loved the epilogue.
Insta-lust, insta-love, insta-hard poking.
Short, hot and filled with hard wood - Jake can poke me with his big axe any day.
*My only niggle would be that this still needs an edit. There were some dropped words and grammatical errors, but it didn't hinder my reading rhythm*.
Safety notes - There aren't really any spoilers as such, but I'll mark it like that just in case

2 You-Squicked-Me-All-Night-Long Stars
Pretty covers can have unpleasant insides, lesson #20,654
One of these years I may learn to stop obtaining books because the man on the cover makes me pant….
Sexy lumberjack?! Well yes of course I want to read about that! Because….. reasons. OBVIOUS, reasons.
*snort-chuckles*
This story is about Jake, a recluse lumberjack who hasn’t been with a woman in five years, and Vivian, a woman stuck in a rut in her city life who goes on vacation in the woods just to get away from it all. When Vivan gets lost hiking in the woods (because APPARENTLY she has never heard of a compass OR a flashlight) she ends up on Jake’s doorstep right before a storm hits. Cheesy? Absolutely. Will I allow it? Also, yes.
My issue with this had nothing to do with how cheesy and unrealistic I found the story itself and everything to do with word choices. The only reason to read this is for lumberjack flavoured smut. I mean, what’s not to love about this concept? Our hero is basically a barbarian. He hasn’t had sex for FIVE YEARS O.o… Five fucking years?! Oh my god. That’s just NOT healthy. And then an unsuspecting woman stumbles into the cabin of same man and…. Boom. ALL.THE.SEX. All that lumberjack…. UNF. Gimme that BEARD. Gimme that plaid flannel. Gimme those manual labour muscles and gruff mannerisms. So much potential…. Alas, this was just not very good.
The smut itself isn’t very well written at all. It reminded me a bit of Alexa Riley’s stuff, actually. All the elements are there but the string of words and thoughts is squicky and gross. I don’t know why authors choose to include so much creamy talk but OH MY GOD I HATE IT! I also don’t care for the whole draining my cock with her pussy business, it’s just not sexy to me. *shudders*
As a side note:
I have failed you, Six!! *sobs*

2 cheesy 4 me Stars
I needed a quick smutty read while I waited for a book to hit my kindle, unfortunately this one was just to cheesy.
I will sum the book up for you so you will not have to torture yourself.
It goes like this:
they meet
then lots of this
Then they realise they can not live without each other.
Well that is how most quick smut goes (maybe not the lumberjack). This one I just thought was not written as well as others and did not hit the mark for me.

Lumberjack was just an okay read for me, which is probably my fault as I hyped it up in my head and let the cover distract me. 'A Real Man', those are some big shoes to fill and for me he wasn't as real of a man as I wanted him to be, but then again this is all very subjective. It was super-insta and just a bit over the top for me, the entire thing was rushed with everything the author wanted us to gain from this book. I do suggest you give it a shot, after all this is only my opinion.

HALP!
THIS BOOK SCARES ME
Paraphrasing some of the weird shit that happens in this book:
Oh yeah baby, lick my asshole even though you only met me like an hour ago, that's so hot.
*vomits*
Seriously, back door loving is alright, but there's really no need to go straight for the butthole when you haven't even "claimed" her meow meow yet.
Oh yeah baby, clean your axe in front of me, that's so hot.
*runs away*
Lady should be running away from the dude cleaning his axe in front of her. I really wish "cleaning his axe" was a euphemism but it isn't. HE IS ACTUALLY CLEANING HIS AXE. IN FRONT OF HER. IN A CABIN IN THE WOODS. ALONE. WOT.
Oh yeah baby, do me raw and talk about my cream.
*gags*
I liked everything about this book except the sex. And the talking about the sex. And the rawness. And the creaminess. And the spelling errors and wrong words.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not my favorite.

SUPER short - SUPER hot - Lumberjack porn...I can't wait for the next in the series.
October 8, 2016
There is this good-intentions, dirty-mouth, tattooed, bearded, well-built lumberjack in his mid thirties who lives in an isolated cabin in the forest in the middle of nowhere and he hasn’t had a woman for 5 years and he is crazy about real red-heads.
And there is this 29 years old sexually frustrated red-head woman who has had a bad break up in the city from her unfaithful boyfriend and who does not actually know what “REAL MAN” means.
And the woman suddenly appears in lumberjack’s cabin lost and afraid of the scary dark forest.
Let’s think about it for a moment….
What will these two people do in the cabin, while there is a huge storm outside and they can go nowhere?
a) They could have dinner together and sleep in two separate beds
b) They could play Scrabble and tell a few jokes until the next morning
c) They could have wild passionate sex caveman style until she cannot stand up straight
Well, they are not very hungry or sleepy.
And the lumberjack is not a really funny guy or in the mood for Scrabble.
And they do have a few drinks sitting by the crackling fire.
Duh! The answer is obvious…
A day after I finished the book, I am still laughing thinking about it.

This was a short read, and as long as you expect that what you are getting is a very sexy read; then you won't be disappointed. There is no huge depth to the story or the characters. I basically would class this as "Lumberjack porn" if there is even such a thing! LOL
It was hot at times, and I don't mind that as long as that is what I am expecting. I thought there could have been a great story added to this; but it great for a quick and easy read.
A word of caution though; DO NOT read it in the grocery store line up!!! It honestly is impossible not to get a red face while reading....also, you end up always looking over your shoulder wondering if people can read the words from where they are standing!!! I really would be embarrassed if the wrong person saw what I was reading!!! Talking about ten inches of Monster man meat might not be to everyone's liking!!!!! LOL

I've never been one to reward mediocracy, and even at what this book is - a short smut with a HEA - it's mediocre.
Characters
Vivian:
Trapped in monotony and smothered by a city offering too much and men offering too little, she goes off to the woods and finds wood from a bearded lumberjack.
Jake, AKA bearded lumberjack:
Escaping from betrayal, Jake finds the solitude of being a lumberjack living in the middle of nowhere absolutely wonderful... His cock just doesn't share the gratitude for the solitude.
He needs a woman. She needs a real man.
Plot
•Insta-lust because he's/she's so fine.
•Insta possession because there's "something about" him/her.
•smut
• Never had another as good as him/her. •She's/he's mine.
•HEA
It's short, and I'm not expecting a huge plot, but f'me this was like reading two people's diary entries on their first date and then skipping to their Facebook status update a year later.
•The FMC and MMC don't meet until 24%.
•86% takes place in less than 24 hours.
•From 24%- 49% ... They're literally sitting down ogling each other with sexual tension.
•From 49%- 86% ... They're having sex and more ogling.
•From 86%-94% ... They pine for each other separately for a week.
•From 94%-98% ... The book fast forwards to an epilogue a year later.
For Safety Folk
Mentions of his ex from five years ago and a brief on-screen moment with her breaking up with a fuck buddy that she hasn't been with in a few months (yes I'm rolling my eyes at that.) Otherwise, no OW/OM. No condoms. She's on birth control.
Writing
Needs an editor and proof to fix technical, plot holes, and style.
Technical...
Way to many errors for such a short book by a very seasoned author.
Plot...
He's in a remote cabin "hours from town" and has electricity? NOT a generator!!! He has electricity.
Storm so bad that they can't leave that night because "the roads will get bogged down with mud" and "flooded," but the roads are fine a few hours later the next morning. The author has clearly never lived in the wilderness.
This isn't a plot-driven book, but if you're going to have a damn plot device, then at least take some effort for it to be logical.
Style...
I could've picked this book up at 49%, and I wouldn't have missed a damn thing.
Too many repetitive phrases are used for this to be so short. For example, I lost count of how many times he said some variation of, "I haven't been with a woman in five years."
Bottom line
It's a formula for a certain romance reader of •Insta lust • smutty sex • mine • HEA , and it being done with no angst, no OW/OM drama, no push/pull, etc that turn readers off.
Eh, it's really about the smut. The sex scenes are okay. Problem is... Quite frankly, it's nothing I haven't read in a hundred other books that weren't filled with grammar errors and holes in what little plot points were attempted.
Again, mediocre.
The only thing not mediocre is the hot as all sin cover.
2.5 stars ... and one is for the fucking cover.
Characters
Vivian:
Bland sex.
Vanilla touches.
No passion.

"Five years without a woman has made me feral, Vivian." "And once we start, we won't be stopping until you've come on my cock more than once."
Escaping from betrayal, Jake finds the solitude of being a lumberjack living in the middle of nowhere absolutely wonderful... His cock just doesn't share the gratitude for the solitude.

Short, super hot but lacking the middle. We got a good beginning with a good background. Then a bunch of hot sex and nothing but a sudden end. So while I enjoyed it, I missed the middle. It was like and Oreo with no stuffing!
September 17, 2016
Sexy shorty where Jake and Vivian meet and fall into insta love/lust. It's dirty and sweet. It reminds me of the Alexa Riley stories we love so much. While I enjoyed this, it just didn't really move me. Loving that cover though :-p
Read
April 26, 2022I did what any other insane person would do when bored.
Pick an awful smutty book about a lumberjack and cringe at the sex talk and then finish it with a smile.

Jake now sat across from me, cleaning and sharpening the blade of his ax. Maybe doing that should have scared me, because it was intimidating watching him do it, but I wasn’t afraid of him.
I was wet for him.
Alright, who's the lumberjack perv who told me to add this to my tbr? Very short story with two epilogues that give the happily ever after.
Woman escapes to the woods after seeing semi-boyfriend cheating, gets lost in woods, and gets butt sniffed by lumberjack.
He groaned and palmed my ass right before he ran his nose up and down the crease of my bottom. “You smell so fucking good.”
See, I would never lie about butt-sniffing. The slimmest of characterization and story, basically butt talk (but(t) I don't think the p ever went in the b????) and sex scenes.
I'm happy these two crazy kids found each other but if you want hot, scorching sex scenes with characterization try Cara McKenna instead. But(t) if you want 80pgs of, albeit, visually described hot flannel dude who can wield an ax, then add this short story to your spank bank, I mean Kindle.

I want to like it more than I did but it's not as good as I wanted it to be. It feels like there's something missing.
The story is about Jake, 35 and Vivian, 29.
After Jake caught her girlfriend and best friend having sex, he packed his things and left everything else behind. For the last five years, he's working as a lumberjack and lives in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
Vivian just broke up with her boyfriend of three months. Maybe boyfriend is not the right word. More of just dating for three months since they're not exclusive. She expected him to be faithful but he's not. She decided to take a vacation for a week. She got lost while hiking and found his cabin.
There's an epilogue but no marriage or baby. Just a plan for the future. But if you'll read A Real Man: Volume One, there's a bonus epilogue with marriage and babies.

The perfect palate cleanser
Need a smu++y palate cleanser? Well, look no further, cause Jenika Snow brings the smut, the OTT ness and the HEAs (with three hot and sweet epilogues). Sigh. My heart’s content❤️.
Jake was cheating on five years before, when he caught his best friend getting out of his girlfriend, so he decided to not only move away but to also remain celibate. His hand’s his best friend now 😅. He’s a lumberjack and lives alone, just the way he likes it. His favorite imagination lets him know he prefers red heads.
Vivian ends her relationship with her cheating boyfriend. She takes a week off work and decides to go to a cabin and enjoy nature for a little while. The problem? She gets lost and ends up knocking on the lumberjack’s door. The huge axe-holding man let’s her in…
And why’s Jake excited? Well, Vivian’s a red head… and, well, his body quickly 👀 responds to her. Let the instant tension begin 😈.
Oh. My. LAWD. The 🔥 was STEAMY and r@unchy AF🥵💦. Jake looks at Vivian like she’s the last drink of water in the middle of the desert and he can’t wait to quench his thirst 😉👀. Jeeezus 😅🔥. He enjoys her from every single angle. And his mouth. Uuuuhhh 😮💨😮💨😮💨 it’s DELICIOUSLY DUUUURTY 🥵💦. I don’t know how my fingers survived the burning pages 😅😉🔥🔥🔥.
And then we get three epilogues. THREE 🥰. And even then, we see tons of 🔥🔥🔥
Loved it! I just wish it was longer 😏

Need a smu++y palate cleanser? Well, look no further, cause Jenika Snow brings the smut, the OTT ness and the HEAs (with three hot and sweet epilogues). Sigh. My heart’s content❤️.
Jake was cheating on five years before, when he caught his best friend getting out of his girlfriend, so he decided to not only move away but to also remain celibate. His hand’s his best friend now 😅. He’s a lumberjack and lives alone, just the way he likes it. His favorite imagination lets him know he prefers red heads.

This was a perfect story!
Jake, our hero was the celibate lumberjack aka mountain man in the tale by the same title, "Lumberjack." He was the strong quiet type until he met the one, city girl Vivian.
Jake had lived in the city for the longest until he was betrayed by his cheating ex girlfriend and his male friend. He tells his family what happened and he leaves the big city behind without a second glance!
Five years later and still celibate, he's made a home for himself working in a small cabin town as a lumberjack and kept to himself although invited by co-workers to come to town and 'score' as the men said it... But no, that was the life for Jake and all his alphaness! He just waited it out until...Vivian!
Vivian on the other hand is a sassy city girl who has just broke up with an asshole of a boyfriend. She needed a break from it all, the ex, the city, her job so she rented a cabin in a small town, Jake's town. They met perchance when Vivian g0t lost while hiking. The sun was setting and through the trees she sees a lone cabin off the beaten trail. Now imagine all the horror stories about the isolated cabin and the murderer! Well Vivian was very scared with those thoughts but buckled down and knocked on the door, etc.. ..
I have given away so much of the story in my play-by-by status glance but know this it is a very, very, very good read from the beginning to the very end.
I loved Jake and admired the heroine, Vivian for giving her all to this fierce and very celibate alpha male! (lol) And no this book was not all about the sex... just read it to see!
Also the next book in the series based by Snow's summary, well the next hero will be a... virgin!

This was short, smutty, insta love and low angst. It was a nice way to pass an hour. It is quick so you don't get a lot of build up before they get together and it ends with a HEA.
