There ought to be a law that Gabe Shaw – hippie lumberjack, Viking with a man bun – should never be allowed to hold tiny infants against his broad, muscular chest.Celebrity makeup artist Josie Torres has three rules when it comes to men: No spending the night. No second dates. No falling in love. Her rules protect her still-healing heart and leave Josie free to chase her true love: the electric … true love: the electric nights of Los Angeles.
But when she arrives in funky, bohemian Big Sur for a photo shoot, those rules are no match for the small town’s sexy bar owner.
Gabe Shaw has a good life in Big Sur. Surrounded by family and friends, he’s the third-generation-owner of The Bar, the only place where quirky locals can escape the tourists and drink in peace. He’s in love with his hometown and its verdant beauty, but he still yearns for one thing: his soul mate.
After one night of searing passion, Josie intends to run… like she always does. But a storm as strong as their attraction unleashes on Big Sur, leaving her trapped.
Gabe has the funniest feeling he’s found what he was missing. But it’s only been a week – and the last person that made Josie feel this much destroyed her world.
She can’t—she won’t—make the sacrifices Gabe is asking her to make.

First read by this author and I really enjoyed this book. A little different feel but captivating.
Set in Big Sur with the Big Sur channel spreading gossip like wildfire there is an amazing group of friends and family around Make up Artist Josie Torres and Bar owner Gabe Shaw- the hippie lumberjack Viking with a man bun. I can just picture this diverse couple and all the other characters in this hidden gem of a town.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I loved this book so much!
Gabe and Josie are so perfect for each other – if you enjoy your romance on a steamy side, you definitely want to pick up a copy of Landslide!
Tattooed Vixen and the Sexy Viking!!
Gabe and Josie! Wowza! Holy Smokes! Leave it to Kathryn Nolan to send kindles into overheat mode! When Gabe becomes the sexy submissive and begs Josie to let him please her–I melted, swooned, fanned!! And when they finally get skin-to-skin for the first time–Holy Tacos!!
I simply love the way Kathryn Nolan explores human sexuality in her contemporary romances! Her openness and creative approach to sex and romance just blows my mind. Every. Single. Time. In her stories, women are free to be sexual beings without the stigma of being considered what most deem as an unacceptable way for women to behave. What’s also amazing about her writing is that her characters still have the normal hang-ups just like anybody else about love, sex, romance, and the happy ever after.
Josefine has survived a horrible situation, but even two years later she is scared of real relationships and nightmares of being caught and dragged back.
Gabriel knows that his One is out there, but his ideas of who she is and where she is are all jumbled together.
The story of a truly beautiful relationship with two people who may be very right together, but sometimes aren’t adept at listening to the needs of their partner.
A different relationship than many people ever experience, can they get through to the other side intact and growing? An amazing sweet and sexy ending that I never saw coming.
Truly one of my top 10 in 2018, take the time to sit back and fall in love with Kathryn Nolan’s writing.
Gabe and Josie are the most unique and interesting couple I’ve read this year. Josie is purple hair, tats, leather & big city. Gabe is man-bun, lumberjack plaid, Viking giant, forest hiking, small community.
The story unfolds with all their opposite stuff highlighted at every turn, from how they love (or not) to how they live. Even how their relationship unfolds. First hot and fast, then a slow smolder that builds intensity. <—my favorite part! And that’s why the ending to their beautiful story is absolute perfection for them. They simply couldn’t be any other way. *I highly recommend reading Bohemian first, to avoid any Lucia&Cal spoilers. You’ll love it! I promise!
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Landslide was absolutely incredible!! Love being able to go back to Big Sur and continue on this wonderful ride that the author started back in Bohemian. Such an amazing and beautiful story that couldn’t have been more perfect for Gabe & Josie. I truly didn’t want it to end!
This will definitely will be going on my favorites list of 2018!
