About this listen
According to town gossip, I’m a grumpy mountain man.
They are right.
What I am not is a beach Barbie babysitter.
Yet, that is exactly what is going to happen.
After 10 years as an Army Ranger, all I want is the peace I find in my mountain cabin.
Winter is approaching.
I’m looking forward to long hours of reading in front of the fire.
What I am not expecting.
My best friend asking me to safeguard the woman who means the world to him.
All winter long.
She is gorgeous.
Fashionable.
Way too bubbly.
AND… from the city.
There are so many reasons why this woman is off-limits.
Yet, I can’t stop thinking about her.
I won’t lose my heart to the only woman who has ever made me want more.
She is heartbreak wrapped in a dark red bow.
I don’t believe in happily ever afters.
Do I?
This is a CLEAN heartwarming tale of love, healing, and the transformative power of embracing differences.
*Reader's Note: This is an ex-military story. There are several mentions of trauma and injuries the men endured. There are no gore or graphic descriptions, but the situations described could trigger some readers.
What readers are saying:
I've read all 2 of Ms Lilly's books and found them to be interesting and well written. Love the clean approach to a romantic novel as well as the salute to veterans and what these men and women go through when they are wounded and broken. I appreciate them so much! I have the 3rd novel release date on my calendar and look forward to it's arrival! Joe L.
This book sort of sneaks up on you. Reading along, I thought, hmm this is sweet, I wonder if it has any surprises and then realized I was bawling (happy tears) at the end. Michelle F.
Oh my my my....Deanna took me on adventure so detailed I felt I was there. Dianna K.
There is a part in the book that says, "When I start a book, I want to make a world that grabs people. Making characters and stories that people can relate to like solving a big word puzzle." That is very true in this book. The lead characters are flawed, and some difficult issues are discussed. All are dealt with compassion and understanding. Marie B.

This is a sweet friends-to-lovers, second-chance, and later-in-life vacation romance perfect for the summer cruise season. Reviewer comment: Join Chad as he woos his best friend with white sand beaches, stunning turquoise waters, and a cruise ship she can't escape from—even if she tries. Thanksgiving date and Valentine’s wedding. Too fast, or right on time. I know, ten years is a long time to be in the friend zone. In my defense, he is my boss, and everyone knows how well doctor/nurse relationships work out. Falling in love with my best friend was unexpected. This is my second chance at...

If an attractive ex-military biker offered to give you anything you desired, what would you ask for? Danni Mom always made the decisions for me: Go to college, get a good job in the city, find a nice man in a suit. Instead, I’ve lost my job and I’ve lost my apartment. I’m single, I still have my v-card, and I’m wildly attracted to the bearded, tattooed biker who rescued me and my broken-down Caddy. I’ve only ever done things to please Mom until I meet Colter. He offers me a weekend of yes. One entire weekend where he will do whatever I ask of him. It’s a fun game at first, but ...

Just a sweet lovestory
Just a sweet love story. No spice , physical attraction becomes love. the author of this book makes it clear she believes living together before marriage is not the best way for a solid relationship. The robotic voice narrating the story makes it a little harder to get into. Good read for a preteen.
