Rosie and Ellis' Story . . .
A curvy party planner from New York and an ex-military mountain man go from enemies to lovers when sparks fly as they plan his small town’s Fourth of July festival.
Ellis and Rosie’s story was sweet and steamy. Rosie is in town at her Aunt Peggy’s request to plan the 4th of July celebration when their normal celebration planner is out of town. Ellis Robson is an Army vet who prefers quiet to deal with his PTSD and panic attacks, so he heads to the mountains to avoid the noisy celebration. His first act is to remove the decorations his Grandma, the Mayor, had put on his store to blend in with the other storefronts. Rosie sees him removing everything and they clash at the beginning while still noticing their attraction to each other. When the Mayor arrives and introduces Rosie to “the Grinch”, then orders him to put the decorations back up, she and Rosie head for a cup of coffee.
Ellis is assigned to help Rosie out for the next couple of days before his mountain trip. He catches her as she falls from a ladder and insists on holding it until the job is finished. She tries some cake Ellis had made, which he later explained is a buckle, not a cake. Then he offered to teach her to make one. He is such a puzzle to her, and she is compelled to learn more about him. He has never laughed so much as when he is around Rosie. She is a perfectionist measuring the ingredients. Yet the daydreamer in her took her attention from the egg shell she dropped in the batter. All her fun antics end in what she calls a “happy dance” and all that wiggling has him squirming! And as he teaches her how to bake, she tells him she figured him out and he’s a good mean. Then she kisses him. He starts to pull back, then pulls her closer and deepens the kiss. By the time they collapse slowly to the floor, she knows she has fallen in love with this amazing man.
With everything ready and the tourists coming into town, Ellis knows he has to get out of here soon before things get too busy and too loud, especially when the fireworks begin. When Rosie and Nan talk, Rosie finally figures out why Ellis had to leave town. She finds him in the mountains and tells him she wants to be there for him, however he needs her, because she loves him. It seems that just maybe he can convince her to relocate from New York. He will be building a cabin up here for next year. Will she help with her hammer skills to build them their mountain getaway?

Welcome to Independence, Colorado....Loved this Fourth of July romance
Stars, Stripes, and Mountain Man is the first book in the Holidays with a Mountain Man series. If the rest of the holiday themed books are as wonderfully charming and delightful as this book, along with a nice hot and smexy hit, then I am all in.
This story is about Rosie and Ellis. Rosie has a degree in communications and is the assistant to a very successful event planner in NYC. When her boss decides to take a month off Rosie is more than ready to decompress. But when she receives a call from her Aunt Peggy asking for her help pull off the town's Fourth of July festival as the woman who usually plans it had a family emergency. Rosie is more than happy to help as this will be a great experience for her. So Rosie books her flight to Denver and then hops the train to Independence Springs, Colorado. Rosie has not been to visit Aunt Peggy since she was a younger child so she takes notice of just how lovely the town has been revitalized. As soon as she arrives she starts to work and that includes discovering a new nemesis....who just so happens to be very handsome and makes her speechless. Ellis had joined the Army after high school and did a few tours. On the first one he was injured in this arm. After he got out he came to back to Independence Springs to settle down as his grandfather was sick. He bought the bait and tackle shop from his grandparents and he runs it now. Ellis likes a quiet life as he suffers from PTSD, so the Fourth of July festival is too much for him. The festival draws a lot of tourists to town and there is also a large fireworks celebration at the end of the night. So instead of stay in town he goes camping on his property up on the mountain outside of town. He is also a man who does not like all the decorations as to him they are just clutter. So when his grandmother, who is also the town's Mayor, had his store on main street decorated like the other stores, with bunting, flags and a giant wreath on the door, he starts to take it all down. Just as he has the bunting in his arms he is confronted by a voice that is not happy with him. When he turns around he finds a beautiful young curvy woman in front of him that he needs the bunting to hide his reaction to.
i loved this witty, laugh out loud, fun, sweet, and delightfully smexy book. The story-line kept my attention and the characters are wonderfully lovable and interesting. This book is a winner for me and a definite RECOMMEND READ! I can't wait to read the next to see how the town celebrates Halloween.

This is a sweet little story! The characters Rosie and Ellis have meet unexpectedly on the streets of Independence Springs. Rosie is helping her Aunt out by taking over as the Fourth of July event planner for Independence Springs. Ellis is the mayor’s grandson and he doesn’t like the Fourth of July. He goes up to his land every year at this time. This year he is helping Rosie put up the decorations on Main Street. As a favor for his grandmother. It looks like Rosie and Ellis are getting to know each other as they work, spending more and more time together. Ellis has fallen under Rosie’s spell! He feels the electricity when they touch - a warm, tender feeling comes over him. He has never felt anything like this before. Would she stay in Independence Springs? Can Rosie figure out what is holding Ellis back? She needs to help Ellis with his problem, but what is it? He thinks he finally may have found “the one”. It is a feel good romance with sizzle, heart pounding attraction, tenderness, caring and love. I enjoyed the story, the characters are so likable/lovable, and it is a heartwarming romance story.

I’m looking forward to the next book in the series

This is a fast paced, sweet, short, Holiday romance between Ellis and Rosie. Ellis is retired military and owns the local bait and tackle shop. Rosie is an event planner in town to help her aunt with the 4th of July celebration. I loved the way the author brought these two together and how they both have an instant attraction to the other but don't show it. I was cheering these two on to get their happily ever after. Great writing and loved all the characters in this book. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

The author has given us a wonderful short read that pulls us into the lives of Ellis and Rosie. When she arrives in town and meets Ellis, they have an instant connection, however, she is only staying until after the festival that she agreed to coordinate. Will their connection be enough to keep them together?

A Wonderful Tribute
Beautiful Stars and a ruggedly, handsome Mountain Man. This was a wonderful way to pay tribute to those who love the Stars and Stripes.
I’m looking forward to seeing more holiday shorts.

This was a great mountain man romance. This is a trope that I have been reading more and more this year and I just love it. Rosie and Ellis didn’t hit it off right away but as they got to know each other sparks flew. I just fell in love with them both, such a wonderful story.

This book was so good! I loved reading about Ellis and Rosie - they were such amazing characters and their insta-love story was just amazing. Whenever I get to read a Kate Tilney book I always fall in love with the characters and their stories.

I am always a sucker for the big guy with a heart of gold. The mountain/military man troupe is one of my favorites. While there was a little friction on first meeting there was plenty of chemistry from the beginning. The story is exactly what I come to expect from the author, great story with a HEA.

A love that burns brighter than fireworks
I just loved this story about Ellis and Rosie. Ellis is a retired military man and Rosie is a curvy woman that came into town to help with the 4th of July celebration. Their story is sweet and of course a little steamy.
Short and sweet, just love it!

An enjoyable, engaging, relatable, well-developed, funny, and well written book one in the Holidays with a Mountain Man series. The characters are likeable and endearing; the chemistry between them is instant and off the charts. Definitely recommended! Definitely recommended! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.

A beautiful holiday love story
I'm so glad I ran across this book. Love mountain men stories. This was such a good story. Rosie on vacation for the month of July, her aunt needs help for the 4th. Works out well plus she Mets a mountain man. They started out shaky but ended up getting along very well. Read the story, you'll enjoy it. :)

good, fast read
This is a good, fast love story. I only wish is that it was a bit longer. Ellis is a veteran who suffers from PTSD. Rosie is an event planner that has been “recruited” by her aunt to help with the town’s Fourth of July celebration. Ellis and Rosie may try to be annoyed with each other, but there is instant chemistry and everything is smooth sailing to a HEA.

A sweet story with some hard moments with Ellis who can’t be around crowds or loud noises. It’s sweet how Rosie swoops in and shows him he’s not broken. The story is short and moves quickly but has heart and steam.
