Blurb:
After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family’s Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue—even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she
learned early on that real men can’t live up to the fictional heroes she creates—until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she’s intrigued by a real man.
learned early on that real men can’t live up to the fictional heroes she creates—until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she’s intrigued by a real man.
Beau lost his first love years ago, and he’s never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before diving in to the all-too-public career. But he didn’t count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper.
Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They’ve never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible.
My Thoughts:
Beau Braden is using his talent to do a favor. Charlotte Sterling will have you laughing
right out of the gate. I’m all about
setting the mood while reading but with Charlotte I may have to curb the
urge. She had me wondering what this
author may have hiding in her closet.
Charlotte is funny, quirky, and keeps Beau off-kilter. I’m happily reading and I come to a
description at the beginning of chapter three.
It made me sad that my house faces south because I would love that
view. I could see myself sitting on a
country porch with my cup of hot chocolate watching that scene play out – while
the book is in my lap.
I was watching Dr. Chris Pet Vet and on one show this woman has
some fancy chickens and the part that I think Charlotte would enjoy is that the
woman colors them – with non-toxic dyes of course. Charlotte is just one of those characters
that is easy to laugh at – more laugh with than laugh at. She has some nice eye candy but she seems
more of a workaholic when she gets on a roll.
Beau is slow to get started but once he gets there he can be a little
persistent. The heat and steam between
these two is… And the ending was so
romantic.
I have a lot of books to catch up on with this author but there
are two that are tied to this book.
Luckily I’ve read one titled Thrill
of Love but I still need to read Story
of Love. My thought would be to read
those two books since they introduce us to our characters and then go ahead and
read this book again. Since I loved it
this time, I know I’ll love it the second time around. Plus I get to laugh at Charlotte again while
sitting on that porch. But I have to say
that I’m really interested to see if this book comes out in audio. I think it would be a challenge not to full
belly laugh while listening – wish list.
The Acknowledgements left me very excited about the next book – since
I’m thoroughly enjoying this series.
