I was stuck in a dead-end job, with a creep of a boss and in the midst of a quarter-life crisis. So, when members of my former sorority initiated a resolution pact for the new year, I jumped right on that. My resolution was to break out of the shackles of my boring and safe life and do something bold and daring. But I had no idea how to do that…until he came along.As luck would have it, Nathaniel … have it, Nathaniel Leeds, a brilliant research scientist, was looking for a temporary assistant to help him collect and document data. The job itself didn’t sound all that exciting until I learned that it would involve a road trip.
And then I met my new boss.
And Lord help me, my handsome, Brainiac boss made me hotter than the jungles of Costa Rica.
If I can survive this road trip with my heart intact, I’m resolving never to make another resolution for as long as I live.

I loved it! This was such a sweet read! This was a quick short read that I didn’t want to end! what starts out as a resolution to be more adventurous leads to a steamy relationship! I want so much more!!
I loved this short and sweet novella! I love the idea of being bold and daring, going out into the world and trying new things! This is what this book was about! For Marin to go out and discover new things and see the world! Her new job offer allowed her to accomplish this and as an added bonus she has a handsome boss that should be off limits but she can’t help fantasizing about him! Will Marin and Nathaniel act on their attraction and find a way to be together or are they destined to keep it professional? Find out in this amazing book! Trust me, you will love this book! My only complaint, is that I wish it was longer! I need more of Marin and Nathaniel’s story!!!!
Sweet, steamy and sexy. All of the things that make me want to read Sierra Hill again and again! Resolution: Road Trip was a fun, sexy read with Marin and Nathaniel, who had a ton of chemistry! I really enjoyed everything about this story that packed a punch!
4 ½ stars. This is a very short but still fun and sexy read. I really enjoyed it. On NY Eve, Marin decides she needs a complete change in her life. She has just quit her job very recently and decides this is the year for her to step out of her comfort zone. And step out she does all the way to Costa Rica, when she accepts a job with the sexy and charismatic scientist Nathaniel, as his research assistant. Nathaniel initially appears to be a pompous jerk, but looks as we know can be very deceiving. They work together well and they clearly have intense sexual chemistry, but can/will they act on it given he is her boss? What happens if they do? This is a great quickie from Sierra Hill complete with an HEA that will leave you satisfied!!
Resolution: Road Trip by Sierra Hill a five-star read that will make you hot. This was sweet and stormy, when you have the courage to quit a job you hate would you be able to push your courage further and go to a far away place with a man who is kind of a jerk? The heat in the rainforest and jungles of Costa Rica have nothing on the heat in this story. This whole collection of Resolution Pact stories has been great, I can’t wait to read more.
This is a sweet, sexy little short. Hot, hot, hot!
On the road to new beginnings
I know I’ve said this before but I love these stories. Marin needs a better job, something with some adventure. Nathaniel needs a research assistant but his grouchy temperament can be off putting. They work well together but get under each other’s skin & the sexual tension can be cut with a knife. One stormy night in The jungles of Costa Rica & all bets are off. Great HFN read
A Resolution Pact Short Story – These are a collaboration of authors bringing us short, sweet, sexy stories to give us Oooh’s and Ahh’s that make our hearts & panties melt in celebration of the New Year. I’m in love with these short story collaborations & am excited each time a new set is released.
This was a great short story. Marin makes a resolution to be bold and daring. She hates her job and her boss and when he asks her to cook the books she quits. She accepts a research coordinator job with gorgeous scientific researcher Nathaniel Leeds that takes the to central America. Once there the jungle isn’t the only thing steaming hot!
Happy New Year!! Every year at this time we all decide to make a resolution to do something different: travel, go on a diet, exercise, or just try to enjoy life more.
Marin hated her job and her boss so when she couldn’t take anymore, she stormed out of his office and didn’t look back. She decided to think hard about what she really wanted out of life and came up with a New Year’s resolution that would be exciting and perhaps change her life. She never thought that getting a new job would become the best thing that could ever happen to her.
Marin was very nervous during her interview because Nathaniel, her potential employer, was so handsome and sexy that she lost all train of thought and couldn’t stop staring at him. She was shocked when he offered her the job and she knew then, that she was on her way to making her resolution come true.
Sierra Hill has given us an upbeat and light- hearted story about starting the new year off feeling positive about the future. Marin was determined to take more chances in life and Nathaniel needed someone to take on his journey. Fortunately for them, their wishes converged on the path to happiness.
A fun, hot read. The perfect quickie! 😉
Her life is in crisis, she hates her job, she is single and middle aged. Her friends dare her to try something new but she is unsure until she meets him. A road trip is on the cards. She knows life is about to change. See how she gets on

In this book we meet Marin Cooke and Nathaniel Leeds. Marin after receiving the text from the sorority president decides her New Years resolution is to be more daring. What it more daring than quiting her job and taking one that will take her to the jungles of Costa Rica. Nathaniel takes one look at Marin and knows this won’t work she is just to hot. Can these two find their HEA or will misconceptions and their own needs get in the way?
This is a great short story. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Our heroine is in need of a new job and she gets an offer that includes a little travel, with just a couple of problems.
I am not sure why it makes a difference, but I have been finding these themed story collections very enjoyable. There really isn’t any overlap between the stories other than a simple text message at the beginning, and yet that little hint provides something that ties them together into something more. This is the second of the Resolutions stories that I have read and it is just as enjoyable as the first.
This is a short story, easily read in an evening, and yet I still feel like I got a full story. The plot is simple, involving trying new things and stepping outside of your comfort zone. The result here is a fun read with some nice steamy scenes and a fun HEA to cap it off. Overall, a nice evening read.
Highly recommended.

Loved this novella. Short and sweet but complete and a “whole” story. I would love more of these characters for sure.
Short hot read. Definitely gets your blood pumping. Marin is the sweet girl who makes a new year resolution to embark on a more exciting life. Nathaniel is a HOT researcher looking for an assistant to accompany him on his research trips. When Marin interviews for the position, she is hired on the spot, but there is also instant chemistry between her and Nathaniel, which can make for an interesting Road Trip. Must Read short story of 2019!
This book is a solid read – short, and hot! It is well-written and moves at a brisk pace. The characters are likeable and the intimacy between them is smoking hot, instant, and intense! Quite the page turner and is the perfect book for anyone who wants something good, short, and hot to read.

A short but enjoyable, fun, emotional, sweet read. Well written story with nice storyline and plot. I liked the characters and how they develop. A story about taking chances and letting yourself follow the road to your HEA in spite of the bumps on the way.
