Madison meets Luke right after her divorce is finalized from her Hollywood actor husband.

I think that the plot moved along at just the right pace. Not a lot of extraneous filler scenes, but not cut to the point that it takes away from the story.

Madison is strong and independent and I like that she doesn't hesitate to tell Luke what she's thinking and feeling. It is nice to have a heroine who can take care of herself but wants to share her life with him. It really makes for a much more balanced relationship.

With the ink barely dry on her divorce papers, Madison thinks she need to get out of LA and redefine herself. Taking a trip to Avalon should be relaxing, but when she is surprised by a lumberjack in the woods, relaxing is the last thing on her mind. The two have instant explosive chemistry and find that opposites attract. Everyone needs a little Luke in their lives. This book was such a great story with well written characters and a plot that at times made me laugh and at others put a smile on my face. I could not put it down. I look forward to more stories in this series.

After enduring a devastating divorce Madison Atwood is in dire need of an escape, one that will help her forget everything little thing her jerk of an ex-husband took from her. All along she thought things in their marriage were damn near perfect, then she discovered that she wasn't the only woman he was sharing his time with, and it stung like hell... especially after he handed his mistress an engagement ring. So, she starts surfing the net for a destination vacation, and happens upon a mountain retreat that will give her the space she needs... and so much more! A strong, sexy, brutish something more that completely changes the course of her life...

Luke Dawson is a man with a lot of grief, and an lingering demon that has a problem staying in the background, where Luke would prefer it stay. War changes a man, a no one knows that to be truer than Luke, he was once a carefree man, now every little sound effects him. So, living in the city just isn't something he can handle, so he gathers a few belongings and heads deep into the wilderness, far away from others, and all their noise. He likes the peace the mountains provide, but sometimes it's a little lonely... but that all changes when a sexy little tourist wanders into his front door! Now Luke isn't so lonely anymore...

The moment I started this sexy little literary adventure I was hooked, Luke wandered onto the page and I just couldn't walk away from him until I have discovered every little tidbit about the sexy mountain man! He was the complete alpha package, sexy, protective, caring, domineering and he stopped at nothing to make sure Madison felt his love. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, right out the gate I felt myself being pulled into the story line, it had depth, heart wrenching emotion, and a whole lot of steamy action that had me in dire need of a fan!! Ms. Wild and Ms. Bliss have created a story that is sure to readers take readers on a truly exceptional literary escape, and leave them with a happy heart, and a sexy book boyfriend they'll never want to forget!!
