For two years, my life is dull and in lack of passion.
But the first time I laid eyes on Ayla Winter, I knew I was in trouble.

A story I enjoyed reading. Lazaro/Laz is a ranger who meets Ayla when she comes to the mountains of Tennessee for a bachelorette party. He takes her to his cabin to sleep as she has had too much to drink, the next morning they have sex and she leaves but then decides she will give him a chance. But something happens and she never does get back to him. She now is on her way to see him after six months as she has to tell him something. Reading how their story comes together is interesting. I liked the last chapter the most.
This is an entertaining and enjoyable read.
The main female character started off being a very unlikeable female. However, she matured into an acceptable human being or a work in progress.
The main male character has a lot of baggage, including an ex-wife, he needs to shed.
Recommend.

This book had me going through so many emotions, that it had me going around in circles.
The author wrote such an amazing story with her characters in deep conflict with their feelings.
Some of the expectations that Ayla family wanted for her was so outdated that at times you would think this book was written in a different time and place.
Over all a good story.

This is the final book in the series but all of these books can be read as a standalone. This last story of course Nicole gives us a mountain man in a Ranger’s uniform, perfect right? In this story we meet Ayla who goes to Gatlinburg for a bachlorett party for a bride she does not like. But her best friend Kennedy needs a break from being a wife and a Mom for the Labour Day weekend. Ayla finds herself in pickle not once but twice and has Ranger Payne, Laz come to her rescue both times. This story has so much to it and the characters come with so many layers to them that it all makes for a sweet read. These two characters have alot to come clean about in their past and present but it is all worth it for a future.

Hot sexy read! Kind of interesting to see the “being rich” issues side of a story. Loved Laz and Ayla was good once she got over her issues. Definitely worth the read!

Short with a Sweet Ending.
Deep in the Mountains – A Mountain Man Romance, by Nicole Casey was a engaging short story that was a satisfying read. The characters, Laz and Ayla (not your normal John and Mary names) were dynamic and flawed. Laz was an enabler to his previous wife and Ayla undiagnosed chronic depression. That being said, when together they lightened each other up.
Definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment. I am leaving this review for your consideration. Peace.
This quick little read is filled with lots of tumultuous emotions. Laz and Ayla both have lots of baggage to work through. Laz was one of those characters that I just loved from the start. As a former cop with a pretty deep knight complex, he hits most of my checkboxes for book boyfriend material. Ayla made me want to rip my hair out from the roots. I had to keep reminding myself that she’s young – though not as young as the spoiled tween-ager she behaves like. The number of times she catches herself behaving like an entitled brat and promises to do better only to repeat the bad behavior drove me nuts. This made it very difficult for me to like Ayla until pretty much the eleventh hour when she finally starts behaving like an adult. I loved getting the chance to see Kennedy again. Though, after falling in love with her in Accidental Soulmates I wasn’t so happy to see that she’s kind of turned into one of the villains of this book.
