When our mom is re-married to a rich but awful guy, my little brother and I have to leave everything we’ve known behind to live by our step-dad’s rigid, controlling rules. Three years later, I’m an adult and I want out. All I need is to earn a big chunk of money so I can get my brother and me back to our hometown and start life on our own. Offered a gig as a cook in a logging camp, it’s four … camp, it’s four months of long hours and hard labor …but the paycheck is huge.
The boss is a hottie and so super-sweet. How can I resist this sexy Lumber Jack when he shivers me timbers so good?

The drama is from the outside world their relationship is steady. The ending is a little twisted.

Well written, good characters, a bit of suspense, not a lot of steam but a good romance building to a family story. Molly comes to an all male logging camp to be the cooks helper and general help person. She meets Jack, the foreman on her first day and they share a connection. Due to the destruction of the bunk house he allows her to bunk in the spare room of his house. The romance develops, they get married and have children and eventually a grandchild. Good story progression.

Jacked: Men on a Mission, Book 2, by author Kate Gilead was more of a novella with great characters and storyline which was an older man younger woman. The main characters, Molly and Jack were written well and given good chemistry. The supporting characters played well around them and lent much to the color and quality of the story. I really enjoyed the extended epilogue, especially the ending. . . It was an awww ending.
Definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure.
I am leaving this review for your consideration. Peace.
Really enjoyed the characters and the story.
Jack supervises a logging camp and is stunned when he sees Molly for the first time. Molly’s step-father sent her to work at the camp to get rid of her. Not wanting to be associated with him Molly tells Jack that she isn’t related to him so he’ll fix the mistake with her name. Sparks fly between them from the moment they first spoke to each other. Things work out great between them. However Jack finds some people on the property illegally and records them to have a friend check them out. It turns out Molly’s step-father is into something illegal and when Jack reports what’s going on it brings cops down on her step-father. Will this trouble cause Jack to pull away from Molly?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

A really sweet read! It is beautifully written with a well-developed plot that will grip you from beginning to end. It is relatable, engaging, consistent, and moves at a brisk pace with some ups and downs and family drama. The characters are likeable, the attraction is instant, and the chemistry is intense and off the charts. A very enjoyable read.

A lumber jack that is older and a much younger woman caught up in her mother’s remarriage and the issues she has with her stepfather fall for each other against the odds and discover the illegal activities of her stepfather and his cronies. This was a wonderful short read.

It may be cliched, but I loved the older man/younger woman instant attraction in this story! The love story builds up slowly and there is some corporate intrigue thrown in that makes the story that much more interesting. Great characters, great story line, it’s totally worth clicking on now!
If like me you enjoy a good older man/younger woman romance then you will really enjoy Molly and Jacks story. It is a fun sexy little read and I really enjoyed it. It had a good plot and I just loved these two they were great characters and were really good together. It is the second book in the series but reads as a standalone
Molly could be seen as the dutiful daughter but when her mother remarries, her stepfather leaves a lot to be desired and his treatment of Molly and her brother has her planning a move for some place in their home town away from their stepfather. When she lands a job cooking she never expected to meet a man like Jack and their journey together is very interesting to say the least. I loved this story and how it unfolded.

Wow! This story was nothing like I expected. Full of information about the lumber industry and ways some want to abuse nature for selfish gains. The romance was sweet in the slowness of development but very satisfying. Interesting family dynamics in play and, though there’s a happy ending, not everything goes along smoothly.

Jack Sawyer is the camp boss of a lumber harvesting operation four hours north of Toronto. He works for Claude, a business man.
Molly Malone is super young, and hired to work at the camp for the summer as a kitchen assistant. Claude is her mother’s new love interest.
Jack is unaware of Molly’s hiring but he’s certainly happy to see her.
It was an interesting setting, a lumber camp. Some shenanigans with poaching and Claude.
Recommend.
Molly gets a job through her stepfather, Claude, working in the kitchen at a lumber camp. Molly wants to make a lot of money, so she can make a home for herself and her brother away from their stepfather’s strict rules and controlling ways. Jack works for Claude as the camp boss for the lumber harvesting company. Jack is surprised when Molly shows up to work because he wasn’t informed she was hired at the last minute. Jack and Molly are attracted to each other at first glance. When an accident leaves Molly without a place to bunk, Jack offers to let her bunk at his cabin. Jack and Molly confess their feelings to each other and decide to take things slow while getting to know each other while they work at the camp for the next few months. What happens when Jack finds men taking samples illegally on the land next to the camp? Will Molly tell her mother about the bad things her stepfather has done? Can Molly and her brother repair their relationship with their mother? I really loved Jacked by Kate Gilead. Jacked is a sweet romance with a couple twists and turns. I really loved the extended epilogues that let the reader know what the future holds for Jack, Molly, and their family. I would definitely recommend getting Jacked by Kate Gilead. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.

The scenes are graphic and so descriptive it paints a fantastic backdrop that really makes the storyline pop. All the twists and turns kept the suspense increasing as tension spirals. This little guy is such a joy to read it commands your full attention until the last word. Kate did an excellent job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Great job Kate, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
