As a forty-year-old man, I didn’t choose the single life, the single life chose me. I’ve made peace with it. What else can I do when I’ve never met a soul who makes me do a double take and toss the axe aside?
So when I stumble upon an abandoned car stuck on the Carolina Ridge mountain highway, and the girl who owns it, I don’t expect it to be any different.
But sweet god almighty, it is.
With all her curves, Kelly not only makes me forget how to spell the word "axe," she makes every inch of my flesh feel like it’s been singed in a forest fire.
I want her.
I need her.
I must have her.
But she makes it abundantly clear … she’s not interested in me.
She’s not interested in anyone.
Not now, not ever.
Because she’s promised to a life of celibacy, with plans to join a convent.
Sweet heavens, I hope the lord above doesn’t strike me down for the thoughts I’m having.
Or for the plans I’m concocting to make her mine. Forever.
**Here you will find OTT instalove and an insanely fast burn romance with a guaranteed HEA. Each book features a different couple but should be read in order.

Omg
I loved this book. Like it was so intense. Grizz and Kelly are perfect together. Kelly and her bestie Lacy are doing a road trip before going there separate ways. All the characters are wonderful. I can't wait to read the whole series.

Loved it!
Grizz and Kelly were so cute. I loved how their relationship developed, even though it was sooooo quick. But I love instaromance because it’s so wildly fun and different than the low slow burn stuff. Minimal angst, hot lonely mountain man, and a v card too. Everything I love in one book. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

great start to a series
I really enjoyed reading grizz and Kelly story. I am so glad that Kelly separated herself from her family that was not supportive and toxic. I hope Lacey story is just as interesting.

Perfect short story
This is a perfect short story. Cute, simple and sweet. The characters and chemistry are good. It was weird for me personally, that I could relate to her because of her parents.

I LOVED THIS!
Sometimes you just need an insta-love story, and this was a great one! I love a good mountain man who is possessive and knows what he wants. Their dynamic is adorable, sweet and spicy.

Instantly ~
I loved this story. I enjoyed his backstory, and his commitment to waiting for his one. I understood her need to hide, but it wasn’t right for her. He knew in an instant that she was his one. It took her a bit longer. Loved the ending!

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I wasn't a fan of the religious aspect of the story. The FMC was a bit annoying throughout, though, but got a little better in the end. I did have a few giggle moments, which was nice.

short but hot
Quick read - but good writing and enough character building, which can be hard in shorter stories. Sweet and sexy

Give me, give me a mountain man. I love stories about mountain men, they're just so...mmmm. Kelly's decision to join a convent was quite suprising in this day and age, although her reason for doing so was a bit far-fetched. I'm sure the convent would have stricter rules for novices. Anyway, her conviction falters when she meets Grizz and the rest, as they say, is history. Grizz is just adorable and I loved the fact that he worshipped the ground Kelly walked on. A perfect story and a definite must read.
