Big Men of Blue Mountain #1
Fake Fiancée [For Now]
It was supposed to be a relaxing bachelorette getaway for my best friend. Trees, wine, chilling.
Then I got shoved into a white-water raft with a wild hunk of a man who could easily rip a log in two with his bare hands. Yum. If being teased by my friends for drooling like an animal wasn’t bad enough, I had to go and fall in the river.
Waking up to a kiss from my muscular Prince Charming, though… kind of a bonus.
It turns out my hero needs a favor, and since he saved my life, I guess I owe him. But I never expected him to ask me to pretend to be his fiancée.
How can I say no when it means he could lose this entire mountain-oasis, his brand new campground business, all because his crappy family won’t give him the cash they promised if he doesn’t give them the wife HE promised?
I guess that makes me his fiancée (for now.)
P.S. Is it bad that after one kiss, I want it to be… forever?

3.5 Steamy stars!
This was a sexy steamy little novella. Leo was a tattooed, crazy hot, wilderness guide that saves Diana's life. So she helps save his business by pretending to be his fiance to his parents. Of course being together in his little mountain cabin with insane chemistry, the sparks fly and the pants come off.
There was insta-love galore, but Leo and Diana were good together too. I liked this one, and enjoyed the characters. And like all Penny Wylder stories the steamy bits are phenomenal!!
Even though this is an ARC review, I will always shoot you straight. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Style: Contemporary Romance
Story: 3/5
Enjoyment: 4/5
Dark Level: 0/5
Sexual Level: SEX-CITINGLY APPEALING
Triggers: No
Violence: No
Male: Sexy
Series: Book 1
Pages: loc. 1252
Audio: N/A
Kindle Unlimited: Yes
STORY:
I love Leo. No, scratch that. I am in love with Leo. When he first met Diana, he played it cool while dying of laughter inside as Diana’s friends try to push her on to him. He was sexy, and I love his interaction with Diana.
Diana, love her as well. Her boldness in the bedroom with Leo was fun. The fake fiancé concept never really gets old and I like how it was done for this insta-lust/love novella.
CHEMISTRY:
It’s Penny giving us between the sheets, need I say more? Got damn, if getting all that steam comes with a fake fiancée, I need someone to fake propose to me ASAP. Their chemistry between the sheets were so appealing and such a turn on. Dirty Diana came to play.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS
Obviously, there won’t be any books I think with Diana’s friends, but how they made me smile trying to get Diana’s nookie stroked in the beginning of the book. I believe this series will continue with Leo’s best friends and business partners, Asher and Hudson.
Overall, a fun, quick and steamy read. Look forward to the series.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read and hope this review was helpful.

eh.
Talk about insta love…this is exactly what this book is. They meet, he saves her, some other things in between and then love. All within a matter or 2 weeks?
I don’t mind an insta love, they’re actually good and this one was ok.
There were bits that were baffling to me and I just couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
When one stops breathing (basically dies) you would think her group of friends she was surrounded with would care right? They would be by her side no matter what..who cares if it’s a bachelorette party..you would be there and not go off drinking not even an hour after it happened…I mean they didn’t even go to the hospital with her? I absolutely do not care if a friend told me not to go I’d be there anyway because SHE DIED?? Pretty awful friends tbh
Then that ending..she could have let him grovel more?? But nope.
Meh!
I do actually enjoy this author’s writing and as much as this book wasn’t for me I will be reading more of her work.

From the moment they saw each other there was sparks flying between Diana and Leo. The problem being she was a guest at the lodge he co-owns with his friends. After a new death experience Diana feels like she owes Leo her life, so when he is stuck and needs some help she quickly jumps into help. How bad can it be pretending to be engaged to the gorgeous lodge owner?
The chemistry between Diana and Leo is off the charts. These two were burning hot from the start. There was so much tension between them from the start and when they both finally cave there was pure passion and fire. Though, it isn’t all about the physical connection between them. The more time they spend together the more they realize how perfect they are for each other and how their feelings towards each other are more than fake.
If you’re looking for a fake relationship romance with loads of chemistry this is one to read!

A tempting fake relationship that turned real! Fake Fiancee(For Now) by Penny Wylder has the connection/chemistry between Diana and Leo as sizzling. Their story starts with Leo saving Diana's life and from there, she agrees to pretend to be his fiancée. The story moved quickly as the feels went from fake to real. I enjoyed reading how intense their chemistry was, how real the romance became and the ending was just incredible.

Super Hot and Steamy
I loved this story. I was looking for just something short and knew nothing about this, but gave it a try, and so glad that I did.
Diana goes on an outdoor excursion bachelorette party, and one of the owners/guides is Leo.
Diana is not an outdoorsy person, but for the chance to spend time with Leo, she will make due.
Things unexpectedly happen, and Diana agrees to pretend to be Leo’s fiancé.
It gets hot and steamy….just the way i like it.
So glad i read it.

This was such a fun read. I really enjoyed Leo and Diana romance. The perfect combination of heart, sweetness, emotion, drama, heat and cuteness is woven throughout the engaging storyline. If you love sparks, swoon and feels, this wonderful read is just what you're looking for. This is my frank, freely posted review.

Wow. This is sexy.
What a quick and sexy read. Insta-lust into love. This is classic Penny Wylder where she manages to make descriptive stories in a short amount of time.
The steamy scenes are amazing. Whew! And the fake fiancée trope fit in with a pretty believable story.
Honestly enjoyed how aware Leo and Diana were of their attraction. Black moment was short. HEA was lovely.

Dam that was hot! Penny never fails to bring the heat but her books are also a sweet love story and this story was no different. I’m looking forward to this new series and hopefully gets stories for Leo’s friends. Until next time y’all happy reading.

Fake Wife is Always Real
***spoilers**** I loved every second of this book . I couldn't put it down I read it from it start to finish in one sitting. Diane and Leo were hot from the start . Buff guy and shy non outdoorsy girl find themselves together on a raft for a friend's bachelorette party trip. The river gets going and she falls over . He saves her and it takes off from there . They start slow not sure of they should but he can't help it . Then he needs help getting money from his family for his business and they won't help unless he's ready to settle down so he says he already has a fiance which is a lie and then she asks if there anything she can do to repay him for saving her life and he asks her to be his fake fiance . And then it explodes and they are super hot . They both realize they don't this to be fake and they make it real. I loved it Great Job Penny

🔥🔥🔥Sooooo HOT🔥🔥🔥
Dang this book was sooooo steamy! I read it thru KU and before I was halfway through (thru? Never know which one, lol) I bought the book. IF you don’t like steamy books with A LOT of sex.y times THEN move on this book is not for you. You have been warned!!!😉
I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I hope they are as hot and sweet as this one. I really loved how the H treated the h. I HATE when the H fights his feelings for the greater part of the book… This is NOT the case for this book. 😍 He wants her and he gets her😁😜
Only drawback was not really any info on the 2 best friends. I know they have their own books but would’ve liked some background of them in this book. It usually makes you want to read about them more. Really the only reason why I am reading more is because of all the steamy, well written scenes in this book, lol.

Diana is not the outdoors kinda girl. She's the single one in her group of friends. Leo is the owner of a resort that has all the outdoors adventures you can think of. They meet when Diana is at a Bachelorette weekend. Soon things go from just rafting through the mountain to Diana being his fake fiance. But what will happen when fake isn't good enough and real feelings catch? Will there be a HEA?

For Now...
This book has EVERYTHING. It has action, drama and romance. And most importantly, it has you wanting to book your reservation for the next ride.
Penny Wylder has made staying at home just a little more sexier, with this one and hopefully more to come.

The author pulls us into the lives of Diana and Leo and never lets go. They have a connection that cannot be denied. When Diana agrees to become his fake fiancee, what happens when true feelings are brought to the surface?

When Diana went with her friends to the mountains for Emilie's bachelorette weekend, she had no idea her life was about to change dramatically. There is some drama that sets her HEA in motion with Leo, part owner and water rapids guide. I loved this well written story and the hotness between these two characters; well done. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.

Wow, a beautiful and hot romance
Leo and Diana could have start a forest fire with the chemistry they had. This was such a good book. Enjoyed reading about their chemistry, the beauty of the mountain and the river. His parents were actually very nice which is unusual sometimes in books. Thanks for such good entertainment. On to the next book. :)

CPR…The 4th of July
This is fun, full of laughs, excitement, adventure, friendship, passion, and some tears. Leo is such a strong and kind man. He is a part owner in a lodge/tour guide, who finds himself wildly attracted to his guest Diana. The feelings are mutual and when they have the chance to explore their attraction, it’s fireworks.

Very hot and quite cute
It's a good, well-written, simple, but very hot romance between Diana, a client, and Leo her instructor for a rafting trip that is quite eventful.
The story is tender, rather cute between the twists and turns.

Another Penny Wylder fast, sexy and wild story. This tale was scary, fun, hot, a little sad but with a big happy ending. Leo was a fine specimen of an alpha male standing up to his parents and Diana was a sweetheart all the way. A very enjoyable read.

Absolutely beautiful
Wonderfully written. I love Insta romance. I would recommend this book to all my friends. Leo and Do are perfect for each other. This book has some drama but a great portion of it is steamy and sexy. I need me a man like Leo
