So this is a different type of romance story. These two are both widowers with a child each. Her with a sweet little girl and Blu with a great son.
They meet and it’s lust at first sight. Or maybe lust at first deceased spouse sight??? You gotta read this one to see how it goes.
I thought this was a really good romance story with a nice blended family aspect added into it.
I am a fan of small town, contemporary romance which is why I was drawn to Blu’s Ridge an add in a widow and a widower, I was hooked! Everything you need to know about the book is in the description. Two lonely single parents meet by chance and are inexplicably drawn to each other but let the moment pass them by because they live in different states. Well fate has other plans in the name of a snowstorm! Lori and Blu are such special characters that you want them together but the icing on the cake is the secondary characters of Blu’s son Ryder and Lori’s adorable daughter Gabby. I also want to mention that Uncle Smokey cracked me up and I am looking forward to reading his story in the future. This is very sweet with a few steamy moments. It was told from dual POV and I definitely recommend reading it.
Beautifully written story of love, strength, and family. Savannah Maris touched my heart with this story. Life is about love, life, family and loss and she did a fantastic job with this story. She had me from the first sentence to the very end of the book.can not wait until the next book to come out. Would love to hear more of this lovely family to be

This book is such a beautiful read about finding yourself and love after a great loss. Blu and Lori both have experienced tragic loss, so they are living day to day life trying to survive for their kids but still heartbroken. Blu lost his love and is left to raise his son Ryder along with his brother, Smokey. Blu and Smokey take tours out for hiking, outdoor adventures, and they do mountain rescue from time to time. Blu has raised an amazing kid and has worked hard to make sure he knows about his family, works hard, and knows he is loved, deep down I think Blu realizes he is lonely but trying to find someone isn’t easy when they have impossible standards to live up to. Lori is in the same type of situation as Blu and experiencing the same loneliness but also having a hard time finding someone that can come close tow hat she had. During a visit to see her parents Lori has an accident with her daughter, Gabby and the one that rescues them is Blu. Not wanting to give too much away but the story has two people who have hurt and suffered in silence find each other when it should be impossible and they find out they have so much in common not it is hard to fight the attraction there. It is like they are seeking approval from those that linger in their hearts and heads, but as much as they resist the harder it is for them. Can these two let go of what was and find happiness again or will the past heartache hinder what could be?
