Her Rebel to Kiss

Love, loved this book!!!! A fairy tale that comes true, even with the fairy god father to help along. I really enjoyed how much both of these characters had to over come for the love of their lives. They both tried to live to their fullest on edge until injury took it away. The book starts at a New Years Eve Masquerade Party in Marietta Montana, Nikki walks in with a cane, when Justin spots this beautiful lady. Little does he know, but she was the little girl next door that had a huge crush on him, the person that ended his career as a rock climber due to a devastating injury and to top it off his new boss. There is an immediate chemistry between these two, and dreams will come true. I so enjoyed the relationship of Nikki and her so called boss, J Angus. The father that she never had. He will make sure her dreams come true even on his death bed. I highly recommend this book along with the rest of the series, can be all stand alone books but better read in order. I am hoping to read more of this series from the author, pretty please! I received this book from netgalley for an honest review.

Salonen had me giggling from the get-go with this one. She expertly melds emotions with heat to create a true romance that you can’t look away from. The picturesque surroundings of Marietta came to life through the intricate descriptions. I enjoyed how the characters have a troubled past together, yet are both moving forward, if in closed off manners at times. The supporting cast was also fantastic. The ties to past novels in the series without depending on them was genius. And the new characters were a blast as well. J. Angus` personality drew me in. He was the type of guy who draws a crowd no matter what. He was also so caring and supportive of those around him, while also demanding the best. Once again Salonen has created a heartfelt romance with a kick. It was a great read alone or as part of the series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

After walking away from leading a climb he wasn't comfortable doing some of the party went ahead with it and were killed in an avalanche. Picking up the pieces he heads for Marietta Montana where his two best friends have made a home and found the loves of their lives. Nikki Richards has been in love with Justin for most of her life but she hasn't seen him since a horrible accident years ago at a climb he was leading. That is until her matchmaker boss decides to hire Justin for a special project at his company. The two meet at a New Years Eve Masquerade ball and the sparks ar flying instantly, but when she reveals her true identity will he run or will he see if there can be a future for them? I truly loved this book. I was intrigued by the characters from the beginning. It is a great feel good story packed with a lot of hurt and emotions. I really wondered through the whole story how's this going to end. You wont be disappointed with this story.
