review 1: I don't know what's with this cover. It's cheesy and really does a disservice to the book, if I were to judge a book by it's cover, I would not have chosen this book. Also, I didn't read the first one, but I still had no idea picking up who characters were and how they related to each other. Stone, the main character, is the middle brother in his family. They've had a messed up childhood, and they finally have gotten themselves together and started a wilderness adventure lodge. He's the one who is most organized, he does all the paperwork to keep it running smoothly. Of course, he's starting to realize that this isn't enough for him. He wants to do work on houses, fixing them up and flipping them. But he feels obligated to the family business.Then we bring in Emma. She's ... morea doctory from New York City, and she came home to the Sierras to run her father's clinic while he recovers from a heart attack. She is a well done character, you can see the big city girl trying to fit into a small town. She is all business, and not very nice, but you can see the humor underneath. In fact, Stone describes Emma early on as Dr. Evil. Even though he calls her Dr. Evil, Stone still finds himself attracted to her. He tries to get her to loosen up, which is not easy, as Emma is constantly saying she is just going to be going back to New York. This book was well done if you're looking for a light romance. Like I said, I came in during the middle of the series, and I had no problem catching up on what was going on.
review 2: Ok, ignore the weird-looking guy on the cover and the cheesy title. If you're looking for a cute, steamy romance, this is an awesome choice. I liked the hero a lot. Been trying to find laid-back heroes who are nice guys, and Stone definitely fits the bill. He's a little cocky at times, but never disrespectful, and he's always polite and considerate to the heroine. This is a good book for readers looking for beta heroes who aren't controlling, dominant, or possessive. Stone's a stand-up guy, respectful and responsible, and he and Emma have excellent chemistry together. less
