Three stars ⭐⭐⭐
The wind, the birds, the sun… nothing else exists. It’s just us, and the longer we kiss, the more I lose myself in a story I know I’ll tell a million times over. The first time I kissed the most beautiful woman in the world. The first time I kissed the woman I knew I was going to fall in love with.
Six months ago, Josie thought she was getting closer to Wyatt, but he had different ideas. He thought their age difference was too much and that she deserved better so he backed off and didn't pursue her.
Now, their feelings are stronger than ever. But can they get past the age difference?
This novella was good, but not great imo. I felt it lacked some substance.
important bits:
virgin heroine
age gap (25h, 40sH)
celibate hero (15 years)
not a manwhore hero
no om/ow
no cheating
safe
HEA & epilogue ♡.

Wyatt and Josie . . .
Josie is getting tired of the raccoon visits where they get inside and mess up everything in her bakery. She is even contemplating making candles instead so she can have the lovely scents without the enticement to the wildlife to come share! Her landlord promises to send Maddox or Wyatt to help her with the raccoon problem. She is hoping it is not Wyatt. Six months ago, she wanted so badly to have him ask her out. But instead he avoided her. She will just have to learn to avoid him. Then Cami, her landlord’s wife and a friend of hers, walked in to help her clean up the bakery mess and invited her to a psychic reading she was going to that evening.
When Wyatt arrived instead of Maddox, Cami left and Wyatt went up into the attic. He lured the raccoons back through the hole they made by offering a granola bar, then blocked the hole until he could purchase lumber to fix it. Josie said she was going to lunch and he implied he would join her. She told him he lost his chance. But since she was not with someone else yet, he told her why he had not made a move toward her. He thought he was too old for her and not worthy. He was an untraveled homebody while she had traveled the world. But she would not date him. He was here on a service call, not because he chose to ask her on a date. But later, she regretted her decision.
To her surprise, Josie and Cami found out that Wyatt is the psychic’s grandson. He arrives to fix something for her and he asks Josie to have dinner with him. When he arrives, she decides to be up front with him and tell him she wants marriage and children. No more waiting. If he is not ready to commit, they need to walk away from each other. Will Wyatt, who overthinks things, make his feelings known now? She hasn’t told him she has never been with anyone else because she doesn’t want to slow things down. But will he accept her conditions? Is he ready to commit and fall in love?

WOW!! I absolutely love it!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read. It has a very nice HEA that takes place eight years ahead, love that!!!
Wyatt meets Josie six months ago when he come to help fix her locks on her door at her bakery. He hasn't been back even though he talks to her sister Molly Protector about her. Josie has raccoons getting into her shop and eating her baked goods so she calls Henry Restless, since he and his brother Maddox Broken: Rugged Mountain Ink own her shop. Cami comes in to help Josie clean her bakery then asks her if she wants to go see the psychic for a reading and she invites her alone. Cami tells her she needs to know what's going to be the outcome, Raven's biological father is taking her to court because he wants custody of her. Raven is almost thirteen and Tag, Raven bio dad, hasn't been in the picture her whole life. Josie tells Cami she thought Henry was Raven's father, Cami tells her in all ways he is, she was pregnant when they met. Wyatt shows up with some netting, and a canvas bag, they asks him what he's going to do. Wyatt tells them he's going to trap the raccoon and then set them free in the woods. Cami leaves, and Wyatt gets to work, but he soon realizes he doesn't have a plan. When the raccoons start hissing at him he sees a hole that they're coming through, he throws a granola bar down and they go after it. He puts a board game over the hole, Josie hears something and asks him if he's okay. She tells him she just seen the raccoons run down the street. Wyatt tells her he needs to run and get some supplies to board up the hole. He asks her if she'll be around and she tells him until four but she heads to the diner for lunch, they expect her. Wyatt tells her maybe he'll come with her, she tells him he can't. Josie asks him what does he want, he tells her he got in his head that she's to good for him he made a mistake. She tells him she is to good for him, he should have taken a shot with her months ago now she's moved on. He asks her if she's seeing someone, she tells him no, but she's moved on from thinking about him all the time. Wyatt tells her he convinced himself that their age difference was to much that she deserved more. She asks him why is he worried aobut their age gap, he tells her that the moment he saw her he knew, she was special and he's not, he's just an ordinary guy who loves his home town where she's a wild and free, who wants to see the world. She tells him that's what she liked about him the most, he tells her he's not thinking clearly lately and he won't until she agrees to a date. Josie asks him what if she didn't call and he hadn't come over, he tells her he was trying to get up enough nerve to come and see her. She tells him to save it she'll pay him for his time but he tells her he doesn't want her money. Cleaning takes Josie the rest of the afternoon, so she can't open her bakery. When she gets all cleaned up she starts working on Raven's cake for her thirteenth birthday party. Then she heads out to go with Cami to the physic reading, Cami tells the woman she has a beautiful home, and asks her if she's lived her all her life. Ms. Beaux tells Cami she's lived there since Henry's parents owned the place and hasn't moved an inch. Josie asks her if she ever traveled out of Rugged Mountain and she tell them she never seen a need for it, everything is right here. Cami and Josie asks for a general reading, Ms. Beaux tells Cami she's in a lot of turmoil then describes Raven and tells Cami there's a man with her with a tattoo of a boat with a broken mass on his arm, he's there to help her, he's Obsessed Obsessed with her. Cami asks her if it's Tag, but Ms. Beaux tells her no, this man is in love with Raven. Ms. Beaux tells Cami she lost the connection and when she closes her eyes again, she tells her she can only see babies, multiple for Josie and arrows. Josie tells her she's not where near ready to have kids, the back door opens and Wyatt walks in. Ms. Beaux tells him he's not suppose to come in the back door when she has clients, he tells his grandmother he's sorry he didn't know she had clients. He tells his grandmother he needs to fix her water heater or she'll be out of water by morning. Ms. Beaux apologies for the intrusion, she asks them where were they, but Cami tells her that got more than enough today and they both thank her for her time. Josie and Cami make plans to met before Raven's birthday party to talk, then Cami leaves to get home to Henry and the kids. Wyatt comes and asks Josie what does she think of her reading, then she apologies for being rude earlier. He asks her if this means she'll have dinner with him, he tells her he'll bring the food. She tells him yes, but she'll make them something. When Wyatt pulls up to Josie's van she's sitting out it, drinking a glass of wine with two lawn chairs and a table. Josie walks up to Wyatt before he gets out, she tells him she's just going to come out and say it, she tells him she's thought about him for months and not in a lady like way, she thought of him against her against her body, she doesn't want him to drags his feet, she wants marriage, babies, and she wants someone who knows that's what they want too. She tells him if that's not something he wants he can go back to his cabin and she'll just go back into her van and pretend this never happened. He tells her if he's going to be honest with her he's had fantasy about her too, but he doesn't want to tell her them. Josie tells him she wants to know, he tells her they're about undressing her and kissing her all over, then bend her over and claim her making her his and giving her babies. He tells her she's perfect, in every way, he wants to hold her forever. That and how dumb he's been for not asking her out sooner. She tells him she thinks of that too but him being older makes her feel safe. Wyatt get out of his truck and tells her they don't have to go slow they can go as fast as she wants. Josie steps up to him and kisses him, the world around them stops it's just them. Wyatt asks her if they should slow down but she tells him no, she doesn't want him to stop. Josie tells him she wants him to make her his, she reaches down and pulls off her dress. He asks her if she's sure about this and she tells him she wants him to take her virginity. He tells her to lay back so she does, she tells him to take off his clothes. Josie has never come so hard in her life, then straddles him. Before she's gotten him inside her there's a knock on the door, he says he can hear them from the street. Josie doesn't recognize the voice but Wyatt does. Wyatt opens the door to find Tag, Raven's father standing there, he tells him he's looking for Henry and wants to know his address. Wyatt tells him he's not giving that information to him. Wyatt tells Tag he can either leave this mountain on his own and never come back or he'll escort him and he guarantees he never comes back. Tag tells them he just wants to find his daughter and do the right thing. Josie tells Tag it's been thirteen years he's had plenty of time to find her and be part of her life. Tag leaves and Wyatt call Henry to tell him what just happened. Josie is worried Tag's going to wait until morning and then follow them to the party. Wyatt tells her that he would feel better if she came home with him, she tells him why doesn't he stay with her for the night. They head to the party the next morning taking the long way around the mountain to see if they are followed. When they are almost there, Wyatt pulls over, he tells Josie someone has been following him and there in the woods on an ATV. Josie asks him if that's something Tag would do and get dirty in his expensive suit. Wyatt says there's a abandon cabin up ahead he's going to pull over and see if Tag stops. He tells Josie to wait in the vehicle and he'll tells her when to come in, she waits for several minutes then get scared something happened to him. So she calls him he tells her to come in and bring the cake, concussed she leaves the cake in the truck. Wyatt caught Tag he tried to seek into the cabin but Wyatt caught him and soon Henry showed up, and recorded what Tag said about taking Raven. Henry tells Tag he's got it all, and with him knowing he knew about Raven before she was born he doesn't see a judge giving him custody. They tell him to drop the case or they'll call the sheriff and have him arrest for trespassing and the sheriff doesn't take to kindly to strangers in his town. Tag leaves and tells them to to just keep Raven she's not worth it. Henry asks Wyatt how did things go, he tells good too good. Henry tells him, he should stop himself from feeling this good. Josie comes with the cake and Raven loves the horses she put on it. After they leave the party Wyatt asks Josie if she minds if he shows her a special place, she says no she doesn't mind. He tells her he's always wanted to bring someone down her to sit by the river and watch the fireflies come out at night. He just never thought that person would be so perfect for him. She tells him this is something she always wanted since she was a little girl, she tells him there's something intimate about rivers. Wyatt tells her like they're holding a secret, she asks him what kind of secrets. She asks him if he has a secret, he asks her what kind things he hasn't told her yet, she asks him what. He tells her he loves her, he knew he loved her the second he seen her, and it scares him. It's a feeling he's never had before and he can't push it away. He wants her to be his wife, and have kids together, he wants her forever. She tells him she loves him and wants everything with him. He tells her he can't wait to make her his, she tells him to do it now, and give the river another secret. He asks her if she's sure and she tells him yes. They strip off there clothes and give the river another secret to hold. Standing with her head on his chest she takes in the smell of him, and grips his hand in hers, the arrows on his thumbs pointing right at her, as he tells her she's his always. Eight years later, it's Raven's twenty first birthday party and Wyatt and Josie are getting ready along with their kids. Everyone will be there, Henry and Cami went all out. Wyatt and Josie kept their wedding small, she make their cake, with just their close friends and family. Wyatt made Raven a canoe and has in the the vehicle while Josie gets the cake ready. Josie calls her boys, Colt, Cash and Ben telling them they need to go. They tells her Raven is here, they head outside to finds out why she's here. Raven asks Wyatt and Josie if the boys can ride with her and Gage. Josie tells her she didn't know she was dating, Raven tells her they met at the university. Josie asks her if they can say hi, so Raven waves him over. Gage looks to be about fifteen years older than Raven, Josie looks at Wyatt and her eyes widen. Josie asks Gage if that's a ship with a broken mass on his arm, he tells her it is. Raven asks her if something is wrong, but Josie tells her it's a cool tattoo. Then Josie tells Raven they'll follow her to the party, Cami needs some help setting up. Wyatt follows Josie back inside to grab her purse, she tells him that's what his grandmother saw eight years ago, she predicted the man with the tattoo would be Obsessed with Raven. Wyatt tells her that his grandmothers predictions aren't always right, Josie tells him that Cami is going to flip out. Wyatt asks her if his grandmother told them if the man would hurt Raven, Josie says no she said he would care for her. Wyatt tells her maybe they'll love each other like they do, that would be a blessing, he tells her his grandmother was right about his tattoos. He tells her to look at their life, three boys, a cabin by the river and a bakery and a love stronger than he's known.

Trash bandits, a psychic and more
Spicy is the tenth book in the Rugged Mountain Ink and I loved it. This older man/younger woman story is about Josie and Wyatt. She grew up on Rugged Mountain but has been a nomad, travelling the country in her camper van but always coming back home to Rugged Mountain. She has been working towards here dream by starting a bakery, but she just can't quite get enough money to get her own mortgage and buy the building. It seems that trash bandits have learned to be clever and have been eating all her stock. Wyatt is a man who does not think he deserves things in life. He has a wonderful heart, would take a bullet for anyone, but just can't quite make up his mind to do things at times. That includes going after Josie and instead just pine after her for the last six months. But when he finally has a chance he is going to have to be decisive, chase the woman he knows is meant to be his, and catch her in his net.
I really loved this book, the story and the characters. I laughed a lot, had my heart melt, and got all hot with this couple. This is a definite RECOMMEND READ. There are some previous characters that are in and out of this book but you do not have to have read the previous books, but you will pick up some things if you did.
Spicy is the tenth book in the Rugged Mountain Ink and I loved it. This older man/younger woman story is about Josie and Wyatt. She grew up on Rugged Mountain but has been a nomad, travelling the country in her camper van but always coming back home to Rugged Mountain. She has been working towards here dream by starting a bakery, but she just can't quite get enough money to get her own mortgage and buy the building. It seems that trash bandits have learned to be clever and have been eating all her stock. Wyatt is a man who does not think he deserves things in life. He has a wonderful heart, would take a bullet for anyone, but just can't quite make up his mind to do things at times. That includes going after Josie and instead just pine after her for the last six months. But when he finally has a chance he is going to have to be decisive, chase the woman he knows is meant to be his, and catch her in his net.

Wyatt and Josie had feelings for each other when they met 6 months earlier but Wyatt backed off leaving Josie hurt. Wyatt was worried he was so much older and felt she deserved better than him. When Raccoon’s infested her bakery again, Josie called Henry but it was Wyatt that came to help. He couldn’t stop thinking about Josie and needed to see if she felt the same way. Wyatt was kind, caring and protective, he loved Josie with his whole heart. Once he was open and honest with her and she was clear with him what she wanted their lives were amazing. They were true soulmates. Sweet, romantic, hot and steamy with amazing chemistry, a little danger, intrigue and mystery, this was an amazing 5 star read with a beautiful HEA.

Great fast read that you will not want to put down and leaves you wanting to know about Raven.

Stalker ex
She's been waiting 6 months for him to make his move and is ready to give up. Then, the psychic (his grandmother) says something that changes everything. Their time together gets interrupted by the bad guy from an earlier book. Can they protect an innocent 12 yr old from her bio-dad?
Each book in this series so far has had a bit of an abrupt end but also an epilogue dated 6 months after. Each one can be a standalone, but reading in order gives you a good idea of who will be next. Except for Reese and Wyatt ending up with different people, and this book waiting 8 years to give update.

Khloe Summers' Rugged Mountain Ink series continues with Spicy. I've been anxiously awaiting Wyatt and Josie's story for a while - teased in the previous books - and I was not disappointed. This steamy, age-gap checks all the boxes with a swoon-worthy, possessive hero and the sassy heroine who captures his heart. Wyatt and Josie have ridiculous chemistry together, and once they each get out of their own way, it explodes on the page. A fantastic read! (And now I'm anxiously awaiting Raven's story!).

Josie's bakery is having raccoon problems and the landlord sends over Wyatt to help her out. Wyatt and Josie have been crushing on each other but he thinks he's too old for her so he keeps his distance but now six months later he is determined to win her heart. This is an age gap, small town romance with well developed and likable characters, and a happily ever after. Spicy is book ten and a great addition to the Rugged Mountain Ink series. I look forward to reading more books by Khloe Summers in the future. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

The author has taken us back to Rugged Mountain to spend time with our friends and to pull us into the lives of Josie and Wyatt. They have crushed on each other since their first meeting; however, he is afraid that their age gap will send her running.

This was another well written steamy age gap romance and I have to say I've been waiting for this one ;) Josie and Wyatt have been circling around each other for months but they do finally find their way past the obstacles that mostly Wyatt was fretting about. However, their sizzling chemistry gets them on the right, and explosive ;P, path to love. Good fun!

Instalove, sweet, steamy, romantic , fun to read and with a sweet HEA at the end😍😍😍😍Can't wait for the next story 🥰🥰

Who knew that an animal would bring two individuals who've been circling each other for too long together?
I love how "helpful" Wyatt wanted to be but I also enjoyed Josie not giving in too easily. He had his chance and dropped the ball. Josie deserves a man who doesn't second guess himself. Glad Wyatt was able to get over it and be the man Josie needs.

Wyatt and Josie have been skirting around each other
Wyatt and Josie have been skirting around each other. He hasn't asked her out even after Josie knows there's interest.
When and how will these two finally get together? I recommend this read because this story works out rather nicely!
I enjoyed this read 📚!

This short read was really great and I absolutely love this series.
These two characters took a little bit longer to get together, but when the time is right nothing will stop these two..
I can not wait until the next book in this series.

A quick read this story features two people who have been attracted to each other for awhile. What happens when they take a chance on that attraction? Lovely characters and a cute storyline.
