BLURB
Jade has always been the reckless type. But after her relationship implodes and her business goes under, she realizes it might be time to change her ways. She decides on a fresh start in a new place: Montana.
But shortly after her arrival in Big Sky Country, she meets headstrong wilderness retreat owner Maverick, whose name, fittingly, means “dissenter.” Jade tries to convince herself he’s not the type of man she needs in her life. The problem is, she wants him in her life. She wants him more than anything.
For Maverick, his attraction to this out-of-towner is undeniable. But he’s sworn off relationships—until he gets to know the fiery-haired, fiery-tempered Jade. He can’t help but wonder if it’s worth opening himself up to her. It’s a gamble, sure. But is it reckless?
Or is love a high-stakes game of risk and reward that just might pay off in the end?
“She’s become my home, a place I feel safe, wanted and loved.”
ARC REVIEW
Jade is heading to Montana to start over with her life after things ended in a relationship and she lost her business. Maverick is the last single one in his group of friends and he is really closed off when it comes to relationships.
Jade and Maverick have met before considering their best friends are married to each other. They have a connection with each other and from the start of the book you can feel the chemistry between them. However, with Maverick being closed off to relationships, Jade not wanting to get into any relationship, and wanting to avoid any awkwardness in their friend group.
I loved Jade and Maverick. I loved seeing their relationship progress, though it was quick nothing felt unnatural. There is a level of comfort between them that allows them to both slowly let the other one in more and more over time.
This was just an overall sweet, low angst read. Plus, the epilogue was just a great wrap up to the entire series.
If you’re looking for a small town, friends to lovers romance this is one to check out.
