After years of abuse at my crazy Aunt’s hands, I finally work up the courage to flee when the opportunity presents itself.
My Mother’s legacy awaits me, across the border and the continent: Safety, tucked away in the peaks and valleys of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Rock
When my Dad picks up a hitchhiker in town whose destination is our neighbor’s long-empty property, at first, I want nothing to do with it.
Why should I, when I already have so much to attend to at home?
But Dad convinces me to go check out the situation, just to make sure everything’s cool.
And when I do, I find out that Fate can move a proverbial mountain to soften a stubborn man’s stony heart.

Absolutely fantastic! A well written emotionally deep romance. The storyline is flawless, funny, witty, enjoyable, and very interesting. The story flows smoothly and moves along at a brisk pace with a few ups and downs and a mix of emotions on every page. The chemistry between them is intense and their love scenes are beautifully written and HOT!

Finally five years after her mother died, Zoey made it – on her own -- to her Grampa’s cabin in the Canadian Rockies. It wasn’t an easy trip. It took time to build up courage to escape from Isobel Krogan (“Aunt Izzy”) in the downtown crowd, get to the train station for the 3-day trip out West, then another 3 scary nights standing on the street corner in the town of Kamloops until she could find a ride to Portage Pass. Fortunately a local who knew Gramps was willing to take her there, not even accepting gas money.
When Zoey lost her mother, she had a rough time of it with her Aunt Izzy. Fortunately her mother had protected the money and her grandfather’s cabin so that Zoey would get her inheritance. She had also secretly prepared Zoey from the age of 14 for what she would need to do. When her mom died, she had given Zoey a key to a Toronto bank deposit box in Zoey’s name and written instructions on where to go when she was ready. Though only 18, Zoey was now prepared to start her new life on her own.
The cabin was small but built extremely well. She had lots to dust and clean, but there was a bunk-bed, chairs, and a table, along with a quality pot-bellied wood stove to keep her warm in the winter. She got the pump working, the stove was warming up the cabin nicely, the bed was made and ready for her – she just needed to find the outhouse, but she fell asleep before she could get out of the bed and walk to the door.
Rock was chopping wood he would use in the winter. His dad came by to tell him about the young woman he gave a ride to, and asked his son to go check her out. She could be a squatter, for all they knew! So Rock finally agreed to go when his father wouldn’t give up. Zoey was able to circle around and sneak up on him, and he was impressed by that and by how attractive she was. Rock normally tried to avoid women because of a very bad relationship, but Zoey’s sweetness and innocence lowered his defenses. Will his dad get his wish that the two of them might get together? Grandchildren are a priority, after all! But will Aunt Izzy track her down and put her in danger as Zoey fears?
I really enjoyed this book! The author takes the reader on an up-close examination of the cabin as Zoey explores and thinks through what she needs to do, what she has on-hand, and what she will need and why. She prioritized all of the work she would need to accomplish for her first night and the rest. It was like a survival manual and I loved it! The book was well-written, had a nice flow to it, an intriguing story line, and good pacing. The characters had interesting backgrounds and personalities, with Zoey being my favorite. Her courage and determination were inspiring! And Rock and his Dad were probably the best neighbors you could ever find! Nice people and a good story – what more could you want? -
Brilliant story
I enjoyed every single minute. The characters are wonderful and the story line is realistic. I can't stop commenting on the epilogues, they gives so much details of their lives after the couples join their lives together. -
Excellent story. First time reading this author. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This is the second book I’ve read in Kate Gilead’s Men on a Mission series. I was impressed by Fireworks: A Dad’s Best Friend Romance and was looking forward to reading this book. Zoey is an orphan, she lives with her overbearing, verbally and emotionally abusive aunt until she is able to escape her cruel viselike grip on her life. She flees to the mountains, to an abandoned cabin left to her by her mother. Here she meets Rock, handsome, strong, jaded, not looking for a relationship and most certainly not looking for love. Living his best life in his mountain paradise, lacking for nothing. Until of course, Zoey appears to wreak havoc on his peaceful existence, forced to extend a neighborly helping hand to his new neighbor, Rock begins to fall and fall hard. The premise of this story had me very much interested but unfortunately there were things like Zoey’s naive and sheltered upbringing that didn’t ring true to me and that really didn’t convince me and as for Rock, he wasn’t the exaggerated-over-the-top Alpha male I was expecting and needing for someone like Zoey. All in all a good book. I look forward to reading other books by this author.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Rock and Zoey. Zoey lived with her crazy aunt in Maine until she could escape and make her way to her grandfather's cabin in the mountains in western Canada. Zoey was left money by her mother and she was in hiding from her aunt, who would try to take everything from her. Rock lived on the mountain and his father told him about the young woman he picked up hitchhiking and gave a ride to the cabin. He convinced Rock to go and investigate to see if she was squatting there and if she was expecting anyone else to join her. Rock went to check on Zoey and was shocked to find he was attracted to her. Rock had cut himself off from finding love because of a former girlfriend and now he wanted to get to know Zoey. Rock offered to help her get settled in the cabin and take her to a lawyer to get the money her mother left her. They became friends, but Rock knew he wanted more with Zoey, but he also knew she was innocent and he had to go slow. I really enjoyed this story. I liked Rock and thought he was sweet to Zoey. Rock wanted her to be comfortable and care for him as much as he cared for her. I like how he wanted to protect Zoey and help her be free. Well done.

Here is a really good mountain man story! I only wish I had read the previous five also!!! That can still be remedied! This story, howver, is absolutely smashing. The storyline is good, the characters are good and the villain as well. But oh boy!! Did I need a tissue... the question is if it is a one tissue story or three??? Well, that each has to find out for themselves. I am a total wuss when it comes to certain matters and my heart broke many times for our heroine in this story. This story is really well deserving of the four stars I am giving it here and I can only say that I look forward to reading more by this author.
