I moved to the mountains to get away from everyone and everything. All I want is peace and quiet and it’s worked well for me over the last decade. But then she moves in next door and disrupts my solitude.Kylie—my new neighbor—with her smart@ss mouth and destructive dog. It’s obvious she doesn’t belong here with her designer boots and city girl attitude but she’s stubborn and won’t listen to … listen to reason. Despite all that, there’s no denying I want her. Her sass and defiance get under my skin and admittedly turn me on. It’s a love/hate relationship in the most inconvenient way possible.
When a snowstorm comes barreling through, it’s Kylie who’s at my doorstep needing heat and food because she’s completely unprepared. Although I’d warned her, she finally admits I was right. Between my hatred for her dog and her distaste for me, things are bound to get complicated.
Secluded in my cabin together means the temperature rises, the gloves come off—but most of all—the arousal and chemistry moving between us reaches its breaking point.
This is a 30,000 word standalone novella filled with steamy goodness and a rugged alpha male! Enjoy!

This was a good, short story with awesome main characters and the dogs, Rosie & Kozmo were funny as hell, some of their antics made me laugh so much that I have to admit I almost peed my pants, lol 🙂
I got to say that Luke was a hot and dreamy and complex alpha male. He seemed one thing on the outside to people but once you get to know him, just like Kylie, it’s the complete opposite of what you would expect when you first start reading this short read. Some people may seem something that they are not and that’s exactly the case here, with these two characters. Ever heard the saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”, well that’s all I’m saying.
These two had hot, sizzling chemistry and their intimate scenes were blush and flush worthy 😉 And yes, opposites do attract so when you first start reading this, you’ll think there’s no way these two are going to get together and boy are you wrong! They do and get their happy ending with a beautiful baby girl who Luke has decided she’s never dating. That scene is in the epilogue and it cracked me up, I was here, dying of laughter and one of my fur babies was looking at me like I lost my marbles. Loved overprotective daddy Luke… even that sounds sexy to me 😉
This is was a great collaboration between Jenika Snow and Kelsey King and we hopefully see more from you two together 🙂 You did great job ladies 🙂
Absolutely loved this story! Kind of an enemies to lovers story when two neighbors have a difficult time together and are pushed together when the weather gets bad and they hunker down through it while falling for each other. Kylie is a fierce take no bs kinda girl and Luke is a tough nut to crack, but when he does, he’s so worth it. Loved this story and can’t wait to see what these authors come up with next!
Kylie and Luke prove that sometimes mother nature and lady love will team up to make the most stubborn of people bend to their undeniable destinies. When Kylie inherited a remote cabin away from the hussel and bussel of city life, she knew it was just the ticket to starting over. While she may not be survival girl, she is determined to get back to nature and really make a go of it. Just her, her pups, and her annoyingly rude neighbor. Luke could tell from the moment he laid eyes on Kylie that she was a pampered city girl, not cut out for life on the mountain. Not to mention her mutt was reeking havoc all over his property. But for some reason he can’t explain, she and her initiating sassy ways light him on fire. When a blizzard hits their mountain home, they have no choice but to hunker down together, but such close quarters inevitable leads to blurring the lines between love and hate.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
Ruthless Mountain Man is a quick enemies to lovers read that will warm your heart and your body. It delivers fun banter, stubbornness and fully on sexiness.
Kylie has just moved into her Aunt’s cabin with her two dogs and her new neighbor is frustrating. He can’t seem to stand her dogs, he’s arrogant and he’s damn sexy. No matter what, she’s going to give him a piece of her mind. Yet, when I huge storm comes, knocking out her power, she’s forced to seek shelter from the one man that irritates her the most.
Luke loves his solidarity but that cute neighbor of his has him wanting more. She’s frustrating and her dogs annoy him but every time her stubbornness comes out, he finds himself wanting her more and more. One night with her and he’s ready to claim her forever.
I enjoyed Luke and Kylie. Their banter back and forth was fun but what I really loved the most was Luke’s alpha tendencies. There’s something about that rugged mountain man that just had my fire roaring. Yeah. I just said that.
If you are looking for a fun enemies to lovers romance with a hot alpha and crazy dogs to keep you on your toes, then Ruthless Mountain Man is the book for you!
I really enjoyed this story of Luke and Kylie. She moves to the mountain that a relative had owned and meets Luke. I love how these two bicker with each other yet are very attracted to one another.
