Great things come to those who wait
This book is the perfect, steamy short romance. We get the hot, alpha male, his perfect mate, the romance, the dirty, steamy scenes burning up the pages and a wonderful HEA in a fraction of the reading time. I loved it and can’t wait to read the next book.
What a hot, dirty and quick read.
If you like instalove stories this one is for you. All it took was one look for loner Noah and he was a goner. He had to have Mia by his side, in his house and in his bed.
This man who works with his hands isn’t afraid to put in hard work both in his business and also in wooing the woman he will marry.
The sexy times were amazing and hot. I highly recommend this book.
This is Noah and Mia’s story and it is Insta-LOVE lust and ALL the other feelings Noah had bottled up after a tragedy. Mia is equally drawn to the sexy lumberjack but doesn’t believe he could be interested in her. Nobody does these fall into LOVE quickly books BETTER than Ms. Snow. Their story was the perfect blend of SEXY, HOT and Emotional. I CAN’T WAIT to read the brother’s stories as I’m sure that they’re going to be FANTASTIC!! I would definitely recommend this book! I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. I have ALWAYS bought Ms. Snow’s books and consider myself very privileged to have received an ARC
This instalove romance is filled with plenty of heat and steam. This great book introduces us to The Ash Brothers. This is book #1 of this new series and focuses on Noah Ash. He has shut himself off from love and women for ten years after losing the woman he loved. That changes the moment he locks eyes with Mia and his heart says “mine”. Things get hot very fast in this short read. Not a lot of character development or a deep plotline, but it’s perfect if you are looking for just a quick, scorching read that is full of sizzle.
The first book in a short series from Jenika Snow is good. I loved Noah and Mia’s story. IT’s hot, it’s sweet and it’s instant love. This was a short read and I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to read the other 2 brothers stories now.
Mia and Noah have undeniable chemistry that is setting each other ablaze. Mia wanted to get away from the rat race and find some peace in the quiet mountain town that she has chosen to settle down in. She’s been acclimating well but she admits it has been a little lonely. When the normal view outside her office window is interrupted by the world’s sexiest Paul Bunyan, Mia’s heart and body both hum with pleasure. Noah is a man with sad and deep past that keeps to himself in the woods, but what Mia wouldn’t give to spend a little time curing what ails him. Noah has spent the 10 years since he has come home from city alone. He hasn’t felt the want or need to venture out of the bubble he has created for himself until he sees the beautiful Ms Mia. She makes him yearn for things both naughty and nice but the baseline of all it is that she is his.
Whew….this baby is one deliciously hot novella that had me panting and dying for more. I can’t even write anything else before I just get off my chest just how hot the deck scene is. Once you read it, you’ll know.
Mia has just recently moved to a small town. She was desperate to get out of the city life and to get some sense of calm. She isn’t looking for anything other than the serenity that nature has to offer but one look at Noah Ash and she knows she’s a goner. There’s something about this big, burly lumberjack that just sucks her in.

Now it’s time to show her.

Ruthie –
I am really enjoying these Dirty Bits books – they deliver a hot, sexy story in a pared down and chemistry-laden short story – perfect for an evening’s reading, without staying up all night!
This is also the first in a series, and we meet all three brothers and get a hint of who is going to fall next. Noah was the most recalcitrant, so the perfect man to fall first. He is so smitten that he is quite happy to admit it – but he does also have some wicked fun, when he knows that Mia is secretly watching him! Oh naughty bits abound in this cheeky, hot, and happy story.
Looking forward to seeing the other two Ash boys find their way with wood and a partner!

Noah is kind of a hard man to know. He had some bad luck in his life and that has left him a little reluctant to find love and forever again. However, he loves what he does and loves living in his small town. When he meets Mia, he’s instantly drawn to her and while he doesn’t really understand why, he doesn’t question it much either.
Mia is a sweet woman who is looking for passion but doesn’t really believe that it’s in the cards for her. However, when she sees Noah, there is an attraction there that can’t be helped. She even catches him in a very private moment that leaves both of them very hot and bothered.
This is a short, steamy read and I can’t wait to see which brother is the next to fall.
Reviewers on the Wicked Reads Review Team were provided a free copy of Hard Wood (The Ash Brothers #1) by Jenika Snow to read and review.
Mia just moved from the city and is settling into life surrounded by the woods and beauty of nature. When she first sees Noah she is immediately attracted to him. During a hike she hears a repetitive noise and follows it. What she finds was much more than she could have ever imagined.
Noah is living a life free of women and entanglements of any kind. He learned his lesson the hard way and doesn’t forsee things changing for him. Until he sees Mia and suddenly she’s all he can think about. After a wild snow storm, he has her where he wants her and he isn’t letting go.
This was a great quickie with lots of insta-lust/love and plenty of steam. Both characters were celibate going into this relationship. There isn’t a lot to the story due to the length but we are also given a bit of background on Noah’s brothers and the set up for perhaps the next couple in the series?
I actually enjoyed this little read as it came on the heels of a lengthier, darker read and I was needing something to breeze through that didn’t require a lot of time of mental investment. It was perfect for my purposes.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and Carina Press. All thoughts and opinions are my own
Hard Wood by Jenika Snow
The Ash Brothers #1
Three hunky brothers all in the lumber business will find their mates in this insta-lust-love trilogy…one book at a time. Noah is first to bite the dust. Yep – he and Mia take one look at each other and it is almost a done deal. Saving her after she has an accident, forced sharing of his home and…voila…the rest is history 😉
Fun quick and steamy – can’t wait to read the stories of Liam and Big Johnny!
Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
3-4 Stars
Lets start of saying that this story started off with a bang and a sizzle.This was one of those instant attraction instant love stories.Noah and Mia are instantly attracted to one another and the sexual fantasies they are having with one another are super super hot!
Noah has been hurt by a lover in the past an has been withdrawn and keeps to himself but, spotting Mia something has awaken in him after a very long time when things have pretty much been dormant.Mia on the other hand has been struggling of late with her own unhappiness and she is hoping this move is going to improve things for her. Spotting Noah across the room at a diner definitely puts a smile on her face and some pink in her cheeks! Instant attraction and heated looks hell yeah!
This stories plot was interesting.This couple had more fantasies with each other and more sex in they heads prior to actually meeting one another and I have to say their sexual fantasies were smokin!
For me I enjoyed the characters they were very like-able but the story itself didn’t really give you a chance to love them.I enjoyed this short story as the story started out as super hot.I am okay with the instant love story but, a writer for me anyway is suppose to carry that attraction and intenseness and that possessiveness they feel for each other and somewhere along the middle of the story I felt that all flame die out after their first sexual encounter.
For me the sexual fantasies each had with one another was hotter than the deed itself.Then after the deed its two weeks later.Something happened in the middle here and they lost me.I guess for me I missed the couple getting to know each other on paper all the things your are learning about your sexual partner .The fun the playfulness the heated looks etc.I think the author should have added something to that effect in the middle of the story.Two weeks later you understood they are getting to know one another but, we are not seeing it on paper.For me the story would have been more enjoyable had the author carried through with the spark,sizzle, and fireworks as the say to the very end.
3 stars from us
