Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read.
Hope meets Alden when she goes to deliver a pie to him and gets stranded at his cabin. Hope moves to a small town in Colorado and opens a bakery. Her friend asks her to spend time after they close up for Thanksgiving but she has to make a delivery. Friends order a pecan pie to be delivered up on the mountain. Hope leave and makes a stop at the grocery store, then heads up the mountain. It starts to get dark a little sooner than usually does. She is soon driving into a snow storm and can’t see in front of her. When she sees a tree she slams on her brakes before hitting it. There is a knock on her window and when she looks up she not sure if she sees big foot or a stranger. When she knocks again she rolls down her window. When Alden sees Hope he comes to life, he asks her if she’s alright and lost. She tells him she was running an errand and it got dark, started snowing and she’s not sure where she is. He tells her she is on his property. She tells him she needs to deliver a pie to Alden and he tells her that’s him. She gives him the pie and he tells her they need to head inside. Reluctantly she grabs her groceries and follows him. He lets her sleep in his bed and borrow his shirt. When she wakes the next morning she has to remember where she is. When she starts to pleasure herself there is a knock on her door. He tells her coffee is ready, and he is going to see if he can get her car out. He comes back inside and tells her the roads are still a mess and she should stay here until the plows come. They sit by the fireplace and talk about their plans for Thanksgiving. When she tells him she didn’t have any plans he tells her the groceries say otherwise. She tells him she was just going to have the Thanksgiving sides and spare the turkey. He tells her the sides are the best part and she agrees. They agree to make the sides she brought with and then share the pie for dessert. They begin to work side by side in the kitchen and Alden leans down and tells her she smells good. They lean in to kiss but the timer going off stops them. They both agree to continue later. They eat dinner and enjoy each others company. Then begin to kiss each other, and get physical with one another. The move to the floor in front of the fireplace and start all over again. When the sun start to shine in the window, Alden assumes Hope will be leaving soon. She tells him she’ll be back now that she knows where he lives. He comes to realize he is in love with Hope.

One last pie delivery and Hope is off for the Thanksgiving Holiday, but getting stuck in a snowstorm and stranded on the mountain wasn't in her Holiday plans. Alden lives on the mountain alone and he likes living like that until he saves Hope. The more time Hope and Alden spend together the closer they get and before they know it the storm has passed and it's time to go back to their lives.

The author has given us a fast paced, quick read that pulls us into the lives of Hope and Alden and does not let go. Alden lives on the mountain happy to be left alone until Hope enters his property. Hope has one last pie to deliver before going home and spending Thanksgiving alone. Can a grumpy mountain man and a small town bakery owner have anything in common?

This is the third book in the Holidays with a Mountain Man series. You can avoid the book as a standalone but it is connected to the other two books. Hope and Alden's story is a steamy, short instalove that takes place over Thanksgiving. They both have plans to spend the holidays alone but thing change when Hope ends up stranded, then rescued by the very man she was delivering the pie to.

A fabulous addition to this holiday series. I am LOVING Kate’s mountain men! Alden was a wonderful addition to it. A loner living on the mountain meets curvy baker Hope when she comes to deliver a pie. Weather causes her to be stuck for a few days with the mountain man and loving every minute of it. These two are sweet and steamy and I cheered for their ending.

This was a wonderful mountain man romance. I loved how it seemed at first like Alden was this gruff unapproachable guy, he was actually really caring and a true gentleman. Hope was a great fit for him. I loved how the story flowed, it was so well paced. This was really a great read.

Alden not one for being so social had found a car stuck on his property. Snow storm taking over the area was a priority and getting Hope safe was now number one. But when the snow is cleared away in a few days days time,…? Good story. Amazing how buttons can be popped off of flannel. no cliffhanger story.

Hopes car gets stuck on her way to delivering a pecan pie to Alden. From the moment they meet there’s an electrical undercurrent that sizzles between then. They enjoy similar things including the peace and quiet. A lovely story of two people finding what they didn’t realize they were missing. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thankful for the Mountain Man by Kate Tilney is a quick, predictable read about a stranded woman rescued by a reclusive mountain man. The story is super short, making it easy to finish in one sitting, but the brevity leaves little room for depth. While it’s an okay escape for a moment, it doesn’t offer much beyond the familiar trope. Decent for a quick romance fix!
