Rocky Mountain Shelter

Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Vivian Arend comes the next book in the best-selling Six Pack Ranch series!

Innocence and passion are an addictive mix....

The dark-haired stranger next door triggers every protective instinct Trevor Coleman never knew he had. From the moment Becky Hall literally falls into his arms, the last man standing of the Moonshine clan doesn't even attempt to resist sweet temptation. Becky is beautiful, mysterious, and heartbreakingly vulnerable...and he's a goner.

To escape the hell she was trapped in, Becky left everything behind but her courage. And for once in her life, good people step up to make a difference - a helping hand, a new job...a very attentive and libido-stroking neighbor. Now a new future awaits, one that shockingly includes sexual pleasure instead of icy pain and a sexy cowboy who's more than eager to show her the ropes.

Becky's sweet smiles and seductive innocence draw him in like nectar, and Trevor knows one taste will never be enough. But with secrets thicker than a bumper crop, changing a life will take more than a new ID and a cowboy's good intentions.

It's gonna take sacrifice to break these chains.

Warning: Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl - all hell breaks loose. We've got a hero whose hands are tied in more ways than one, a heroine who wants to experience everything she's ever missed, and a family that needs to discover if its roots go deep enough to weather any storm.

I just don't believe

Okay, sensitive story, great characters and I've finished it with a frown. It's great, if completely unbelievable, that young, virile Trevor is willing to marry a woman too damaged to allow him to consummate their marriage. But I don't buy it. Not for a second. Grrrrr!

Excellent Series!

Vivian put heart and soul into this series. I didn't find one book I wanted to put down before I finished it. Trevor and Becky both had a vulnerability that made them a perfect fit for each other. I loved the way every one of the Coleman's in this series had a love for not only their beloved but for the family as a whole. Great to see that kind of devotion.

Wow!

I can't say enough good about. this book! From the beginning it grabbed my heartstrings and never let go. Such a nice mix of experience and innocence. Trevor was the very experienced one, while Becky was very innocent even though she grew up in one cult then married into another. She took back control and escaped, almost directly into Trevor's capable arms. We get to see Becky grow into her freedom and enjoy life, with Trevor's guidance. Trevor was so very patient, loving and understanding, right up through the end of the book. An awesome guy who went from being quite a playboy, to loving everything about Becky, even with her very serious intimacy issue. They made their relationship work despite her inability to consummate their union.

One of my favorite parts was Trevor asking cousin Travis for advice, it was good to see a settled Travis. The river tubing was also fun, wish I was there too! I feel as if I knows all the characters so well now, they're very real, making me want to be part of their circle! Haha, no I'm not crazy, I do know they aren't real, but that's how real and likable the families are! Definitely a series worth listening to, then continue with the Thompson family series. same characters you will remember from The Six Pack Ranch books.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did! Just remember, although I tend to focus more on the relationships, there's quite a bit of adult content in this series, if that's a problem for you then these books probably aren't for you.

audio issues

There are a number of audio issues in this book. otherwise the story and performance are outstanding.

Have enjoyed all of this author's books!

Although this plot is somewhat overused in romance, the character development in this story is good enough to have had me invested. I look forward to reading/listening to more of her books in the future.
