Shared by the Mountain Men: A Reverse Harem Romance

De: Cassie Cole

Narrado por: Ramona Radcliff, Julio Maxwell

One desperate woman. Three rugged mountain men.

I quit my job and flew to Colorado to hike a 500 mile trail.
Yeah, I know. Stupid idea.
Spraining my ankle on day seven was even dumber.
Until I was rescued by a trio of chiseled mountain men.

Now I’m recovering in a quaint mountain town.
Just a week or two until I’m healthy enough to resume hiking.
And how do I decide to spend my time?
Falling for my three rugged rescuers.

Jack’s the kind of guy who mixes teasing with his flirty glances, and looks way too good while doing it.
Noah, the mountain doctor who fixes my ankle and whose warm touch leaves me wanting more.
And Ash, the untouchable, tattoo-covered heartbreaker who refuses to let anyone get close—until me.

Can I figure out my life—and my heart—before I return to the trail?
Or will I find a new home in the mountains?

The heroine: Melissa - she had a midlife crisis at age 29 after dealing with her cheating boyfriend for months. She decided to forgive him; they went through couples therapy and then she caught him at it again last month. After that, when she started slacking off at her job and in other areas of her life, she found the book Wild and watched the Reese Witherspoon movie based on it. She quit her job, spent a bundle on hiking and camping equipment and decided she would reclaim her life the same way the character in that movie did. She goes to Durango, Colorado to hike all 486 miles of the Colorado Trail.

The Story: Melissa has been miserable all seven days she has been hiking the trail. She wasn’t getting as far as she expected each day due to the elevation and thin air, she had blisters on her feet and found that she really doesn’t like camping. She was ready to be done though she had more than 400 miles to go, when she rolled her ankle, fell and scraped her knee and wrists. She was bleeding from the wrists and knee and couldn’t walk on the ankle. Not to mention the fact that her water bottle broke all over her supplies. Then she sees one of the biggest men she ever saw, carrying an axe.

The Heroes: Jack, Noah, Ash - Three men who lived in a small town, high in the Colorado Rockies.
Jack - he is a cocky charmer. He loves to tease, and he is often argumentative. He meets Melissa while he is clearing the trails and helps her after she hurts her ankle. He has a habit of picking up strays.
Noah - he is a doctor that works at the Crested Butte Medical Center. Handsome, and friendly, he is very caring and loves to help people.
Ash - a broody and grumpy mystery, he is massive and covered in muscles and tattoos. His eyes are as hard as stone. He had moved to the mountains to escape humanity.

Melissa was less than friendly after Jack helped her by taking her to the clinic, though he made share his friend Noah would help her off the books. Melissa hadn’t been too happy she was taken to a town so far from the trail. After seeing the doctor, she ended up in a cute little place with small cabins, only to find that Jack owned the place. Frankly I didn’t like Melissa much at the start of the book, she argued with Jack for no reason and was being stubborn and cranky when he was just trying to help. As the story went along, it became clear that arguing was just the way Jack and Melissa dealt with each other.

I have read a bunch of Cassie Cole’s reverse harem romances in the past and have liked them because they are standalone’s and also many of them have a good suspenseful side storyline. This book didn’t have a storyline like that but was more about each of the three men and their issues and the fact that they were all wanting Melissa. She got to know each of the guys separately which I liked, while taking in the sights and activities available in the mountain town. She did things like going climbing, mountain biking and four wheeling.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Ramona Radcliffe and Julio Maxwell. Both of these narrators are new to me. Ramona has a nice, clear voice that is pleasant, but you can tell by her tempo that she is reading and her attempts to be expressive sound a bit like overacting and make the conversations sound simple and stilted. Her voice for male characters isn’t bad, though it isn’t all that different from her female voice. Julio Maxwell has a deep, gravelly voice. He does a decent job at using different voices for different characters.
