Books books and more books

I got talked into...well not talked it but convinced by a friend that I'd be good at blogging about books cause I enjoy reading them so much. I'm always telling friends. "You need to read this...or you need to read that." so this seems like a good idea to get everything all into one place.

Right now I'm reading Sweet Dreams book 2 in the Colorado Mountain Man Series by Kirsten Ashley but today I'm going to talk about book 1 in the series that I finished over the weekend. Book 1 was The Gamble.

Nina Sheridan's on a timeout adventure in the Colorado mountains. She needs distance from her clueless fiance, distance to decide whether she wants to spend the rest of her life with a man who doesn't care enough to learn how she takes her coffee.

Arriving in a blinding snowstorm at the A-Frame she rented for two weeks, she comes face to face with the most amazing man she's ever seen.

Minutes later, when he kicks her out of his house, she goes head to head with him.

Beyond angry because she's flown half a world away to start her timeout adventure, not to mention her sinuses hurt, she heads back down the mountain and ends up in a ditch. Unable to extricate herself, she gives up, hopes for rescue and falls asleep in the backseat.

The next morning she wakes up in the amazing man's bed and she's sick as a dog.

Holden Maxwell spends days nursing her back to health and then he spends the next two weeks trying to convince her to take her Colorado adventure further, in other words, make it permanent and take a gamble on him.

Nina has a tough time fighting her attraction to Max, especially when it seems all Max's friends, her mother, stepdad and the whole town of Gnaw Bone want them together. Not to mention, both she and Max get embroiled in the murder of Max's ex-friend and the town of Gnaw Bone's most detested resident - a man everyone has motive to kill, especially Max.

I have to say I LOVED this book. It gave me the biggest hardest cry I've had while reading something in a while....and the biggest laugh. After a book like this that I've enjoyed so much I find it hard to pick up the next book, whether it's the next book in the series or something totally different. I don't want that high happy feeling I get to go away.

I'm into book 2 now and enjoying it but not as much as book 1. I think it will end up being my favorite book for a while.
