Blurb
The first time Jolene meets a mysterious man wearing flannel,
it’s a case of mistaken identity. The second time, they end up against the side
of a bar.
Third time’s a charm, right?
Jolene Hayes finds herself spending the summer in the
picturesque mountains of Idaho in order to avoid a past fling. It’s a perfect
escape, except for the one problem that keeps popping up: a sexy backcountry
pilot named Ty Harrison. Jolene tries her hardest to resist his scruffy beard
and flannel wearing ways, but eventually rationalizes that a summer fling would
just be like the rest of them—love ‘em and leave ‘em and move on with her life.
Between these two are secrets that could tear them apart before
they even get started, though. Life changes without warning, and dealing with
the results leaves Jolene protecting her heart at all costs. Ty knows he is
everything Jolene doesn’t want, but he can’t let go of the fiery siren.
Throw in the element of wilderness, a small town where secrets
can’t hide and the past repeatedly showing up on Jolene’s front porch, the
promise of a summer fling becomes complicated.

Excerpt
Yet, as I stood in the country bar in the middle of Gypsum,
Idaho, I started to rethink my whole notion on the bar scene. What I was
looking at was quite strange. All I could see was cowboy boots, wranglers, and
granola type people. Lots of hats. I scanned the bar from the rickety wooden
table I was perched at. This was one of those times where I knew heavy drinking
was not a good idea so I slowly nursed my vodka cranberry and took in the
crowd. The good ol' boys were out in full force tonight. I mean, yes I was from
Idaho, but I rarely left Boise, a large city. I was used to the more outdoorsy
type, Boise was full of them, but all the cowboys I was seeing reminded me that
I did in fact live in Idaho. As I took another drink of the watered down beverage,
my eyes caught made contact with the last person I wanted to see.
The lumberjack.
Shit. Of all my luck, of course Sexy Lumberjack would be here. I
was known for being on top of my game. I always had a witty comeback and I
never let anything affect me. Or at least that was the image I put out there.
Sexy lumberjack threw me off my game that morning a month ago. Not okay. I
scrunched up my nose as I took him in as he stood there, a bright smile on his
face as he twisted the bottled in his hands.
Fuck me. What was I supposed to do for four months in this
barely-there town with all of these cowboys. And one lumberjack. I didn't even
bother to drink the rest of vodka cranberry. I threw a few singles on the table
and grabbed my purse to head out of the bar. I was done with this night.
I was practically out the door when I heard, "Hey. Caleb's
girl."
I stopped. His alluring soft, deep voice wasn't anything new. I
had heard plenty of men whisper pet names in my ear because they couldn't
remember my actual name. I smirked to myself and turned around to face him.
"Lumberjack," I addressed him.
He raised a brow. "I'm not a lumberjack."
I matched his raised brow. "I'm not Caleb's
girl."

Tell me your story....
June Rosewood followed the plan. College degree? Check. Longtime
boyfriend who is possible husband material? Check. Finding a job after school?
Working on it. Yet, it only took one emotionless conversation on a beach in
Mexico for everything to fall apart. After running away for the summer, June’s
back in Boise, can’t find a job and is stuck working as a waitress.
When June runs smack dab into Reece Day, her new coworker, she
knows to stay far away from him. After being away from the town Reece grew up
in, his journey has brought him back to where it all began. Reece is searching
for forgiveness, but also stumbles upon the lively and smart mouthed June, who
is so clearly lost in herself. Reece catches June's attention with his uncanny
ability to always get under her skin, leaving her questioning what she really
wants in life.
Soon, June embarks on a journey of self-discovery to let go of
the plan, because sometimes the unexpected surprises along the way are the most
important and meaningful.
Finding June is recommended for ages 17+ due to adult matters.

My Thoughts:
This one was a bit of a roller coaster for me. I had moments when I was laughing, near tears, angry, frustrated....
Jolene had her reasons for acting the way she did but I disliked some of her actions. If you read it, you'll know what I'm referring to. ;-)
I really liked Ty! :D He wanted more and wasn't afraid to go for it. I liked his family too!
Wrap yourself in a flannel blanket ;-) get a cup of hot chocolate and set yourself down to enjoy.
I received an ecopy in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoyed this one and I think you will too.
