Mountain Men #1

ALC provided by Must Love Audio

Author: S. J. Tilly 

Narrators: Erin Mallon and Connor Crais

When Courtney arrives at the Black Mountain Lodge for her new job, she’s feeling hopeful. She’s at the end of her rope and this could be the fresh start she desperately needs. It all goes to hell when the very big and burly Sterling Black, owner and her new boss, realizes she is a woman and he’s adamant about getting rid of her. 

Sterling can’t believe this beautiful, curvy dream of a woman in his new maintenance “guy”. For his sanity, she has to go, and he’ll make sure she does. 

Wait for me while I go buy some flannel attire, boots and a ticket to somewhere where there is a mountain lodge because  oh-my-word… this was fun! AND touching!

Courtney has had a rough life and you feel bad for the things she’s going through. Sterling is all burly, lumberjack-y, hairy-chested and we are all for it. And beneath all that there is someone who has the ability to love fiercely. 

The audiobook is narrated duet style by Erin Mallon and Connor Crais. Erin’s sweet and melodious voice showcases Courtney’s  vulnerabilities and determination. She makes you root for Courtney from the minute we meet her. When Connor unleashes that alpha mountain man he has hiding in there it’s.. something! He can do domineering, growly, grumpy and protective and at the same time make it swoony. The short chapters and the duet narration help us feel the off the chart chemistry between sweet Courtney and big boss Sterling. 

This is a perfect age gap, instalust-y, workplace, forbidden boss/emplyeee story that will have you hot under the collar and swooning hard. 

Thanks, SJ Tilly and Must Love Audio for taking me the lodge early!
