Mountain Daddy

Mountain Men Series, Book 2

De: S.J. Tilly

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Connor Crais

Kendra
Moving into my dad’s house at age 32 because my roommate scammed me out of my rent…not exactly what I’d call winning at life.
So on my drive to Colorado, I decide I need one more night of freedom, and the cute motel on the side of the road is the perfect place to stop. Bonus that it has a bar.
Extra bonus when I spot him sitting at the end of the bar.
The super hot silver fox, with biceps testing the limits of his flannel.
I debate between sitting alone or being bold. But when I catch him watching me, like I’m watching him, bold wins.
He’s charming and sweet, and I can practically feel the chemistry crackling between us.
And when I give him my room key…he uses it.
But we both know this is just for one night. That we’ll never see each other again.
Until a week later.
When he shows up at my house.
Because he’s my dad’s best friend.

Luther
I stare at her.
The woman I worried I’d never see again.
And relief wars with guilt inside my chest. Because she, the girl of my dreams, is my best friend’s daughter.
And I know I’m screwed.
Because I shouldn’t touch her.
Not ever again.
But…I know I’m going to.
Soon.

Chefs kiss!

This has got to be one of my favorite SJ Tilly books! Mountain Daddy had me giggling like a teenager and swooning like it’s my job.

Rocky Mountain Hotness 🥵

Luther (MMC) & Kendra (MFC) have a chance meet cute on her way to moving to her dads house. The sparks fly between them 🔥 but Kendra leaves and goes to her dad’s house, which is only a very short distance away from Rocky.🌶️🌶️🌶️

A twist of fate has them face to face again and leave them both shocked by who they are to each other and let the sneaking around commence😆🤎😆

Nice Bedroom Story

Loved the story, it was nice and relaxing and great when you want a quiet place and listen to a good read

Unique story. Finally beyond college age!

Narration fantastic. Fun dialog. Drama short term. At last we have character ages over 30 with great spice and new love that is deep and mature. LOVED everything about it

Thank you Daddy

Thank you, Valentine PR, for this arc I was so excited to get the second book for the Mountain Men series. As well as this author she writes such good MC’s. I may or may not have been muttering yes daddy during this book. Kendra is in trouble her roommate ran off with the rent money finding out that rent hasn’t been paid in months the landlord evicted her. She meets a man on a night out (Luther) and has a one-night stand with the handsome stranger before she moves to live and work for her father. What she doesn’t know is that eye catching Luther is her dad’s best friend. Now they have to navigate the awkward sexually charged situation of working in close proximity. Things get steamy as they should. I can’t wait to listen to the author's book with Erin Mallon & Connor Crais.

Protective MMC

It's all in the title!

Oh Mountain Daddy! We could all use a bit of you in our lives.

SJ Tilly delivers again, exactly what she promises she will. A broody, sexy, silver fox, who isn't afraid of a little kinky romp with a younger woman. Only to discover it's his best friend's daughter. One he's heard so much about but didn't realize she was coming through his Inn. Things get complicated real fast.

This book really had all the vibes and coziness that you are expecting. Men in flannel and cute little foxes, it was a delight in that regard. There was also so much talk of baked goods and pancakes that I found myself having a cupcake while reading. Haha!

The only thing that held this one back for me was the 3rd act. Now I know, people often complain about that. I'm not even talking about miscommunication. In this novel, it did seem like a scenario that could happen and they DO have a pretty big age gap, so it seemed legit. No, for me, the issue was the "secret" of it all. Like.... why were we doing that? She's a grown-ass woman, by a long mile, and her dad is a pretty understanding guy. I was rolling my eyes and it made these two mature adults seem like teenagers and it wasn't necessary.

Overall, this was just what I expected and I enjoyed it more than not. As always, I think that an audio is the way to go for a book by SJ Tilly and this one was narrated in Duet Style by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor.

P.S. It was also still waaayyy too long. haha! I had to say it. 500 pages was not needed.

Enjoyable story

These aren't tropes that I go for, but I will read anything by SJ nevertheless. I adore how she crafts a story and how you get the small, quick switches between characters at those pivotal moments. I really enjoyed these two and their story. It was sweet even with its forbidden nature and was very low drama considering the tropes that could have made things very, very dramatic. I suggest it if you enjoy these tropes and think you should try it even if you don't because SJ can make your enjoy just about anything.

Mountain yes please, I need more!

I am a Huge fan of SJ Tilly, having read all of her books...and I was nervous about this age gap daddy romance. It did not disappoint at all. With the youngest in the gap being mid 30s, it all fell into ' SJT-verse' perfectly. Grab your earbuds, cook a pan of brownies & be ready for the best read of 2 narrators in perfect sync of book 2 of this series!

Age gap Daddy

When SJ dropped the blurb and tropes for this book, I knew I’d devour it—and wow, it did not disappoint.

Kendra’s life takes a nosedive when her roommate steals the rent money, leaving her evicted and out of options. At 32, moving back in with her dad in small-town Colorado isn’t exactly the dream, but it’s the only lifeline she has. On the drive there, she takes one final night for herself, checking into a roadside motel with a bar.

Enter Luther. Silver fox. Instant chemistry. One unforgettable night.

The next morning, she heads to her dad’s—ready for a fresh start and to meet the people in his circle. What she doesn’t expect? That his best friend joining them for breakfast is none other than the man she just spent the night with.

Cue: chaos, tension, and so much heat.

Tropes:
Small town
One night stand
Age gap-24 years
Dad’s best friend
Silver Fox/Curvy
Single dad
Secret Relationship

Connor and Erin are a power duo!
