When Becca comes through the small town I live in, it takes all of two seconds for me to see that she’s a rare gem. She’s incredibly talented and incomparably beautiful… …even if she doesn’t see it that way. Our time together is brief, but life-changing. The moment we part ways, I know I can’t live the rest of my life without her. Before I can propose to my curvy beauty, though, I have to find her.
Dear Reader, He's a big hot alpha. She's a curvy sweetie pie. And the two of them are in store for a heart-melting happy ending. This short instalove novella can be read as a standalone, but why stop at just one? More Big Hot Alphas are waiting! xo, Kate
Adrian is just one big pile of "Awww...." Seriously. Becca is on a bit of a self-discovery trip with one general goal - go to Acadia National Park in ME. Along the way, a bull puts a little bump in her path but what happens next is so sweet.
Against Adrian's true desires, he doesn't try to hold Becca back from her path but he also isn't ready to give up without a fight. It truly is so sweet with a little bit of that steamy heat I love so much.
The book reads easily and passes by quickly. I enjoyed this as part of the Big Hot Alphas collection bks 10-12.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

I liked the romance between Becca and Adrian but it was a little to instalove for me!
The story is about Becca who has tried to break through in Hollywood but after several years of letdowns she packs her bags and just start driving! One day she almost hits a bull that stands in the middle of the road! Goliath the bull belongs to Adrian who lives alone on a farm. They eat lunch together and later in the evening they meet at the bar in town. Their talk and their chemistry flows but is she ready to settle down after just one day and evening with Adrian or does she still need some time to discover herself and what she wants to do with her life?
I think they are really sweet together and belong together at the end of the story. But I felt like Adrian was a little stalkerish in the beginning and middle of the book! The end and HEA redeems him and she gets everything she ever wanted.
Becca is the actress Zoey gives a pep talk to in the former book about Dean and Zoey.
I loved that one person in each book in this book series has some kind of connection to another person in the next book. It is a great premise to build a book series on.
I can definitely recommend this book and series.

Adrian is the 10th installment in Kate Hunt’s Big Hot Alphas series. In it, she chronicles the romantic journey of Becca and Adrian. She was an actress who now is looking for another direction in life. As such she is mindlessly driving across country on her way to Acadia National Park. As she driving she nearly collides with a massive bull standing in the middle of the road. Noticing a farmhouse, Becca heads there and that is when she sees Adrian. It is a mutual instant attraction between them. He invite her for lunch and they talk. She stays in town for the night. She walks around the town, takes in a play in the town’s park, eat in a local bar. She is drawn to the town and to Adrian’s house. They connect at the bar. He escorts her to her boarding house. Next day she is back on the road. Adrian is intensely attracted to her. He knows where she is heading. Will he head out after her? Can he catch up with her? If he does, how will she react? Will they find an HEA? To find out, you must read this book.
As with the other books in this series, Ms. Hunt masterfully uses literary devices such as characterization, dual POV, dialog, and descriptive language to weave her romance tales. Although the plot is a basic boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, and an HEA ending, each installment is different enough to keep the reader’s attention. Her lead characters are multi-dimensional and strong in that they show their caring sides and their vulnerabilities. Her skill with painting vivid scenes rounds out her skill with literary devices as she pulls the reader into this romantic tale.
Becca is taking a break from LA until she can get the perfect part. So she decides to go into the country as she's driving she comes across a bull in the road. So she drives up to a farmhouse close to where its at to let them know about the bull. Adrian is stunned when he sees Becca but before he can do anything he runs to collect his bull so he can come back to her. When he gets back Becca asks about if he knows a place she can stay for the night and he tells her about the B & B when he really wants her to stay with him. The next day they run into each other again and start spending some time together and things heat up between them. Just as things are looking good Becca gets a call about a part. Will the call to LA take her away from Adrian? Or will she see that its not what she really wanted after all?
This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I really enjoyed reading this story. I liked the link to the previous story, only adding to the overall story. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions. Loved the instant spark between them. It was just an make you smile, kind of read.
I really enjoyed this one, it was a sorta inta-love and sort of slow-burn. I really enjoyed that He let her continue on her journey of discovery and then found her again to claim her.
Oh wow. Amazing story, strong business women mom and wife all in one package. It’s so crazy that Adrian came looking for her. And I absolutely love the extra epilogue
Adrian and Becca story starts off with a zing. I love that he lives on a farm and is on the road to a new beginning. I loved the dog named honey too. A great instalove read.
This is such a sweet story! Adrian just makes you smile! I enjoyed the instalove, Becca's determination to find herself and Adrian for being decisive! Loved it!
When my mouth touches hers, it's like an explosion between us.
Becca has hit the road headed out of LA and not sure where she will end up. All she knows is that after struggling to make it as an actress in LA for the last six years and finally getting what was to be her "break" she had her part left on the editing room floor. For those that have read you will remember Becca as the woman in the big stunt that Dean did and also from the read carpet and Zoey saying some words of wisdom to her. But things did not get better after that and the parts she had booked disappeared. Now she knows he has to start over somewhere else but first she needs to go to Acadia National Park in Maine first. So she hits the road and just starts driving east. Well that is until she almost hits a bull who is standing in the middle of the road. This is not just any bull but a very large bull which is not moving from his place. When Becca looks around for where the bull might have come from she notices a farmhouse a bit back that she had passed. When she pulls up to the house and parks she can only think that she is at home. Adrian is a farmer who has taken over the family farm that he was born and raised on. He lives about a half hour outside of the nearest town with Honey, his border collie, and the various menagerie of animals on a farm. He is in the process of getting lunch after putting in a long morning when he hears a car pull up and stop. When he looks out he does not recognize so goes to the door to see who it is, probably someone coming because of an emergency. When he steps onto the porch and sees the beautiful and curvy woman getting out of the car all he can think is "Sirens like this don't just appear on your doorstep." Thus Becca and Adrian meet when she informs him about a bull in the middle of the road. It seems Goliath has once again busted out of one of the fields just because he could.
ADRIAN is the tenth book in the Big Hot Alphas series and is a sweet, funny, serious, quirky, romantic, sexy and wonderfully charming story of two people who's destiny was meant for them to find each other, even if they took the long route to get there. I loved this well written and entertaining short story with great characters and a lovely bonus epilogue that also get dirty and clean at the same time.
Change of scenery This book is about Adrian and Becca. She featured as a young actress in book nine of this series, so it was nice to revisit her character, and see what she’s up to now. It turns out she was really down on her luck in LA and gave up on her acting dreams. She needed a change of scenery and a breath of fresh air. On her way to wherever she was headed, she had a close encounter with a big bull in the middle of the road, which lead her to a farmhouse where she met Adrian. After sharing a quick meal and a drink, she headed towards the nearby small town to find accommodation. There was something drawing her to the farm though – and the owner of the farm to her. Serendipitously, he ended up at the same bar she walked into for a beer. They talk for hours, and as he walks her back to the B & B she’s staying at, they share a special moment before being interrupted by one of the locals. She assures Becca that Adrian is one of the good ones. Despite this, they say their goodbyes and part ways. It was a bit heart-breaking. Adrian can’t stop thinking about her, and she’s on the road for weeks. Once she finally reaches Acadia National Park, she realises she’s somehow lost herself along the way. She knows what she wants. It’s love and a family, and she wants that with Adrian. My heart fluttered when she heard her name, and upon turning around, he was there in front of her…. SWOON! I won’t spoil it for others, but the rest of their story is full of love, passion, and a few beautiful surprises. I give this book four and a half sweet stars simply because I wasn’t ready for it to end. Top job (again) Kate! I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Becca, now 27, had left home to go to LA to become an actor. Six years later she decided to give up on her dream career and left the city and started driving to head to Acadia National Park in Maine that she always wanted to visit. Several days later she met Adrian when she stopped at his farm to let him know his Bull was on the road. She was attracted to the handsome Adrian and spent the evening in the pleasant nearby town talking to him. Adrian realized that he loved her so the next morning he came back to the town but Becca had already left. Would Adrian be able to find Becca again and tell her how he felt? Could Becca be happy in a small town after life in LA?
I enjoyed this short instalove story. There wasn’t a chance to get to know a lot about the characters but the author let us get to know enough about them to understand how they would Ebert good for each other. I recommend this cute story.
