Arlo

Rate this book
A curvy woman catches the eye of a hunky mountain man when she accidentally slides into his DMs and scores an invite to his Alaskan cabin.

Dear Mountain Man Fan Club Members,

I love mountain men. There, I said it. Living in a big city, I’ve never come across one, but I’m sure I’d fall madly in love if I did. In the meantime my best friends and I get to watch real life mountain men in action thanks to their social media posts.

My favorite is Arlo, a bearded hunk who’s built a following by posting videos of his wood chopping skills. One day, I think I’m sharing his video—and my commentary—with a friend. But, instead I accidentally message him. Imagine my surprise when he writes back and invites me to visit.

Is this my chance to live my fantasy? Or will reality leave me disappointed?

- Kit
Mountain Man Fan Club is a series of short, sweet, and steamy instalove romances about women who start a fan club celebrating mountain men online and wind up meeting and falling in love with them in real life. Read if you enjoy curvy heroines and mountain man heroes who find happily ever afters that are better than their wildest fantasies. No cliffhangers. No cheating.

Oops! Well, That Worked Out! . . .

Kit is part of a group who have created a fan club aimed at mountain men. They are so drool-worthy! Kit’s favorite is Arlo and his videos of his wood-chopping skills. So she adds her comments but inadvertently was sending the message to him directly. When he gets her message, he invites her to visit him. Will she be pleased with the “real thing”? Can she feel the sizzling chemistry between them?

Things don’t always go perfectly well, so grab your copy and see if Arlo is everything Kit dreamed about and more. Sometimes even a mistake can lead to something very, very good.

Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read. I absolutely love it.

Arlo and Kit met when she flys to Alaska to met him. Kit and her friend started a private web forum to watch mountain men doing daily chores. Three months later they have hundreds of members. When Kit gets the video and she copies it to send to her friend she accidentally send it to the wrong person. Arlo responds to her and they soon are chatting back and forth. Arlo invites Kit to come to Alaska to see him and visit. Kit takes him up on his offer and is soon flying there. Arlo picks her up and flies her to his home. He gives her a tour, and then they kiss but Arlo wants to get to know Kit before anything happens between them. They spend a few days getting to know one another, but Kit can't take much more, she tries to flirt with him. Kit asks Arlo why she in Alaska, she's been trying to flirt with him, he tells her he wants to get to know her first. Kit tells him to make love to her, he pleasures her, she pleasures him, then they make love. They spend the next few day in bed together, getting to know one another. When Arlo has to take a generator to Berg, Kit wakes up to make him breakfast. He tells her he can't go with her dressed that way, in his shirt. Arlo tells Kit he'll be gone a few hours, so she asks him if she can borrow his computer, she forgot her charger. After Arlo leaves Kit goes to catch up with her friends, but she sees a message pop up on his computer. Berg messages him wanting to know if he's on his way, she send him a messages back. Then Berg sends a few more messages and that one that upsets Kit is when he mentions about this being just a hookup to get laid. Kit needs to get out of Alaska as fast as she can. After Arlo and Berg unload the generator he grabs a drink before he heads back home. Berg mentions the message he send and soon they realize their mistake. Arlo races back to his home and finds Kit gone. He heads to the airport and finds Kit waiting in line to get her ticket. He asks her where she's going but she doesn't acknowledge him. Arlo asks Kit to give him two minutes before she leaves Alaska, so he can explain. Arlo tells her he's not going to make any excuses, but he feels a pull to her he can't explain. She is the love of his life, he asks her to stay. She tells him she wants to stay and see where this goes. Kit tells him not to answer anymore messages that appear on his videos. Several months later, Arlo asks Kit to marry him and she tells him yes. They talk about hooking up some of their lonely friends with one another. Several years later they have a three year old son Archie who looks exactly like Arlo. They occasional do helpful video with the whole family but never show Archie's face. Kit is pregnant again, they are hoping it's a little girl who looks exactly like her.

Sweet piece of man candy

ARLO is the first book in the Mountain Man Fan Club series and this one had me laughing and swooning all the way through. The story is about Kit and Arlo and the Mountain Man Fan Club. It seems that without women the Mountain Men of Alaska have taken to shooting videos and posting them on social media. As a result Kit and some of her friends started the private Mountain Man Fan Club as a way to follow and watch all of these "sweet pieces of man candy". Arlo likes to make videos of him chopping wood with his big axes, usually shirtless mind you. Kit has developed a major crush on Arlo and has gone down the rabbit hole more than one watching his latest postings. The latest has her heart pounding fast and her fingers are hitting the wrong buttons when she things she is sending a quick message with the link to Arlo's video being sent to the club. But she quickly discovers that she instead sent a DM to Arlo himself and he has replied. One cheeky comment between them soon starts a witty and smexy banter and before she knows it Arlo has invited her to visit him in Alaska for a couple of weeks. Will they sparks fly when they meet in real person?

I loved this story and want to know where I can join the Mountain Man Fan Club to watch all that "man candy". This story is fast-paced, funny, deliciously sweet with more than a little heat to spice it up. The characters are likeable and have a smoldering spark that when it ignites goes off with a very loud bang. I am looking forward to this series.

When you accidentally jump into a hot mountain man's DM's... ;)

Kate Tilney has a brand new series out and if the first installment, Arlo, is any indication, Mountain Man Fan Club is going to be the most fun you've had this summer! Arlo and his fellow mountain man buddies have been posting short videos online and unbeknownst to them have developed quite a following - the Mountain Man Fan Club! When one of the club's moderators, Kit, accidentally messages Arlo directly a comment meant for her best friend, he responds! And soon the two are flirting and he's issuing an invitation to come visit him in Alaska. Both are having some doubts until they lay eyes on one another in person for the first time - then they both know that what was supposed to be just a fun vacation fling just might be the best thing to ever happen to either of them.

Kit and Arlo have oodles of chemistry, and the premise of this series is fresh and and so much fun. Combine that with Kate Tilney's excellent writing and you have a short, steamy instalove romance you won't be able to put down.

Kit and her city girl friends have started a mountain man fan club. They really enjoy the video clips some mountain men are posting of them doing their daily chores. Kit's favorite poster is Arlo who just posted a video of him chopping wood. They video made her so hot that raved about him in a post that she thought she was sending to her friends. However instead she had accidentally sent it to Arlo who responded. The two flirt online for a week until Arlo invites Kit to visit him in Alaska. To both of their surprise, she actually agrees. When Arlo and Kit meet in person, sparks fly.

Arlo and his mountain man friends have been posting videos online. Lots of women seem interested in them and proposition them but Arlo shows no interest until he hears from Kit. She is funny and interesting. Arlo iks very interested in her and invites her for a visit. Now he just has to decide if one week is enough for both of them.

Kit and some friends started a Mountain Man Fan Club and have gained a lot of new friends since then. They follow the videos of some Alaskan mountain men and Arlo is one of them. After watching and rewatching one of his videos, she adds a comment and send it to the Fan Club, but it does not go there.... it goes straight to him. She is in shock when he replies and they start to talk.... a lot over several days. He then asks if she wants to come to Alaska for a few weeks and she does.
The characters are well written, with plenty of backstories and intense feelings. The storyline is believable and the locale is picturesque. The romance starts slow and then skyrockets. A little suspense after a certain incident happens, but connections are made and things are cleared up. The ticket taker was sure fun. Can not wait for the next book.

The story grabs you at the first page- you’ll get pulled in. The characters are lovable, funny, entertaining, enjoyable, flirty, sexy and when they began to talk to each other - they feel the magic! They have a natural, easy going dialogue and a comfortable familiarity with each other. The story is sizzling, sexy, entertaining, hot, humorous at times and passionate. Arlo is well built, hunky, muscular, sexy, and smart. He feels something when he starts talking with Kit who is curvy, sassy, feisty, and daring. Daring to take a chance. This story is unique and interesting. What will happen? Can this work? The characters click - they have a feel-good connection, everything feels right. It’s a light-hearted story that has steam, passion and love. It is an all around enjoyable read!

Kit and her friends have formed a club that is intrigued and enamored witty various mountain men that the follow online. While they all have their strengths, Arlo is the one that she is most attracted to.

Arlo is a man that fends for himself in the wilderness of AK and posts about his daily life to keep connected. When he receives a message from Kit, he can’t help but to respond and it soon results in them spending time together.

I enjoyed the characters and how they respected each other while being true to themselves. It was good to see the chemistry develop and them work through some obstacles.

Looking forward to reading more in the series.

Kit was watching the video of Arlo the Mountain man. She is going to post a message to the fan club when she accidentally sent the message to Arlo himself.
Arlo responds to her message. They had flirted back and fourth. After flirting he asked for to come to Alaska. Kit jumped at the opportunity to go see the Mountain Man she always thought about meeting.
After getting to Alaska she is beyond excited. She thinks being with him is thrilling. They flirt and finally they give into their desire for each other. She decided to say and since there are more single men and she knows a lot of single women in 're Mountain Man fan club. Looks like they might be playing match maker.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Arlo is the first book in the ‘’mountain man fan club’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Kit and her friends run an online fan club for hunky mountain men. When Kit sends her crush a private message by mistake, she doesn’t expect to outcome. Arlo was intrigued by Kit’s message. When he meets her in person sparks fly but will love blossom?
The chemistry between Arlo and Kit is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

This was the first book in a new mountain man fan club series, where young single men in the wilderness of Alaska are posting videos on the internet for people to follow. One such follower, Kit was attempting to text her friend a comment on one of Arlo's videos, but she managed to hit the wrong button and sent the message to Arlo instead. This story was the result of said miscommunication. This was a very interesting approach to this problem and the very end of the book was really humorous. Highly recommend reading as a great pick me up.

Mountain Man Fan Club is a new and fun series that will have you smiling, while warming your heart. Kit and some of her friends have set up a Mountain Man Fan Club, when she send Arlo a message by mistake he responds and the connection is felt over the miles.

Kit flies out to Alaska to spend time with Arlo, both of them have second thoughts until they see each other. Feeling the connection immediately, Arlo knows he wants more, but a misunderstanding also stop them before they can happen.

Great start of a new series that you will fall in love withl

I really liked this short story. It was entertaining and enjoyable although I wish there really was a Mountain Man Fan Club. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Kit was adventurous, brave, and a little crazy for deciding to go to Alaska. She took a huge risk that could have ended up badly. Arlo was a risk-taker himself. He was adventurous and took a chance on Kit. Both of them had taken a risk and it paid off big time for them. I loved their happy ever after although I do wish that there was an epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

A enjoyable start to this new series Mountain Man Fan Club. This read is a quick, entertaining read. The characters are likeable and fit well together. Looking forward to see were this series will go. This story is about Kit and her friends that start a fan club of different Mountain Men. Kit is enjoying watching Arlo cutting wood and she thinks she is sending her friends a message when in fact it was going directly to Arlo and only him. This is their fun, sweet romance story. Looking forward to read the next book.

This was super sweet. Kit accidentally send a DM to Arlo, her favorite mountain man on social media. He actually responds after he does a little research on her. Something about Kit drew Arlo in as he doesn’t usually respond to DM’s from women. Once these two meet the chemistry is pure fire but a misunderstanding drives Kit to run. Insta love at it’s best, fun read. Can’t wait to see what is next in this series for the other Mountain Men and their fan club women!

I really enjoyed this story, it's the first book in the Mountain Man Fan Club series. It can be read as a standalone novella. Kit and her friends have a fan club for the sexy mountain men online and then one day she messages Arlo in error. As they chat and get to know each other, they realize they have a wonderful connection and soon Kit is off to Alaska to meet Arlo.. sweet and steamy. Both Arlo and Kit are wonderful characters. Can't wait for the next book.

Great mountain man story

I'm going to like this series of mountain men books. Kit and Arlo made a great couple. Carlo produced videos of chores he did and had a fan base who watched and drooled over him. Kit came across differently to him so he invited her to visit. After a few days things start getting interesting when a computer message accidentally gets into the wrong hands. The chase is on. Read it to see what happens. It's really a good book. Written by Cindy :)

Arlo and his internet hook up. Sike! She found fantasy in a website and Kit was part of a fan club for Arlo. A comment made to her friends and she accidentally sent it to Arlo. Now, she has to prove that she means what she said, doing anything means everything. Arlo so wants her to prove herself. He is smitten by the kitten.

Love it!

It goes down in the DMs!! Yes ma'am!! Kit did the DM slide right into Arlo's box!! Big oops?? Maybe, at first but not the worst thing she could have done. She took a chance and that chance turned into something bigger on that mountain in ALASKA!! This was a quick romantic read with some potty language sprinkled here and there.

Kit has been following Arlo's videos. There's a whole fan club watching the Mountain Men. She's one of the administrators of the fan club. One day instead of sending a message to the group she sends it to Arlo, and they carry on communicating.
A light hearted sexy read.

An honest slip of Kit’s finger gets her an invite from her favorite Mountain Man Arlo. Will this be just one great vacation or could this be so much more if she is honest and upfront. A fun, flirty read of meeting your favorite man in this new series Mountain Man Fan Club.

When Kit accidentally DMs Arlo she never imagined he would message her back inviting her to visit him in Alaska. This is a sweet, flirty, short, insta love story with likable characters and a story packed with drama, mistakes, humor, and a sweet ending. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
