Mountain Man's Desire

Heroes of Mercury Ridge #3

by Pippa Brook

HAMLET

After a two-month trip to Australia, I’m back in Mercury Ridge. Home Sweet Home.

But a lot’s changed since I went away. Not least of which is the gorgeous squatter who’s sleeping in my bed.

I’ve never kicked a pretty girl out of my bed, and I’m not going to start now. The beautiful stranger is irresistible, with the face of an angel and a body to match. But she’s hiding something. Until I find out what that is, I can’t trust a word she says. And I sure as hell can’t trust her with my heart.

The Heroes of Mercury Ridge features the men of Mercury Ridge Search and Rescue and the curvy heroines they can't resist falling in love with. Each sweet and steamy short romance in the series is guaranteed to have NO cheating, NO cliffhangers, and a satisfying HEA.

Look who sleeping in my bed.

Only it's not Goldilocks. Hamlet arrives home exhausted after having flown half way around the world only to find a beautiful naked woman in his bed. Does he kick her out or let her stay? Who exactly is this mystery lady?

Ok

This novella felt a little bit out of order in the series. I was a bit confused about Hamlet’s character.

I love when the players fall to their knees!!! Spunky and sexy!

This is the third in a series, but it can be read standalone. I've read all of this series and I'm so invested in the characters. I honestly can't choose my favourite character or pairing as all have been so enjoyable.

In this one Hamlet returns home from Australia to find a naked woman in his bed. One that's been staying in his empty cabin and who has a secret. But the attraction between himself and Annie cannot be denied for long.

This was another great addition and if you are a fan of short steamy romances this series might be one you'd enjoy.

This was such a cute story! Hamlet has just arrived home from his Australia trip. He is exhausted and wants nothing except to climb into bed; only, his bed is not empty, there is a gorgeous naked woman in it.

Annie is passing through the area on the way to Nashville and figured out that Hamlet's cabin was empty. She found the key under the welcome mat and decided to stay there for a couple days. Only, she is a singer songwriter and became inspired musically to the point where she stayed longer and Hamlet caught her.

What follows next is an adorable story of Hamlet reforming his playboy ways and becoming intrigued and very attracted to Annie. She also has very deep feelings for him but is holding back a big secret and Hamlet knows that she is keeping something from him.

I am glad that once Annie's secret was exposed, Hamlet's brothers were around to talk some sense into him because he was 100% in the wrong. Annie needed him and he should have been there and not pushed her away, but he eventually got it right and went after his girl ❤️ and they got their HEA.

I absolutely recommend this book and will read it again, it was a really cute little novella.

Hamlet and Annie . . .

Hamlet comes back home from a couple of months in Australia and discovers a stranger, Annie, sleeping in his bed. He’s immediately interested in her, but feels she is hiding something from him. Her secrets could have a serious impact on his life. Will she finally tell him what she is hiding? By now, will knowing really make a difference in how he feels?

'I can't fall in love with her'

'I can't.
I won't.
I already have'

Hamlet and Annie are my favourite of the series so far! They are crazy, funny, sweet, scared and completely perfect for each other! An awesome instalove series, with quirky characters, sweet moments and steamy scenes.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

[Elaine Swinney · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked Hamlet and Annie's story for the most part. It was fun and I binge read it pretty quickly. I just would have liked an epilogue for it a bit more into the future.

Secret

Hamlet comes home and finds someone in his bed. Annie had found the cabin empty and knew he would be gone. They developed a relationship but Annie has a secret. When it comes to light what will happen to the two of them? Very nice story.

[Margaret · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hamlet has been my favorite brother in this series. The beginning premise seems so far-fetched, but once I got past that it was a great read. Hamlet and Annie have great chemistry and the story moved along nicely.

[Ana Armstrong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic quick read!

Annie and Hamlet are the leading duo in this fantastic quick read!!!
The circumstances under which they meet are very unusual and make for a great meet cute.
Loved their story and path to HEA!!!!

Must read

Oh Hamlet...we get to read about the playboy. Almost a Goldilocks story. Anne just needed time to make more songs and Hamlet thought she made a fool out of him. Great story and showed the feelings of how some famous ones just want peace.

I really enjoyed this book, it isn't the usual romance book which makes it all the more readable. Highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more

[Whiptosticbooks · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was too out of the box, even for me. It honestly didn’t make sense from the breaking into his house to the secret of hers. It did not connect.

This series is connected to 'A Country Christmas' with a novella "HIS MISTLETOE WISH" Pippy Brook, which I also highly recommend to get into the spirit of this pre-Christmas time 🎅💕🤶
