Amee Colburn wants to leave the past behind by hiking up the highest peak of the Smoky Mountains, but there’s a storm of attraction waiting for her at the top. Pierce Levy, the hot mountain man who owns the rustic camp she checks into, is dealing with a salacious error that only magnifies the carnal pull between them. Time spent with Pierce is challenging–not to mention dangerous and … compelling–both on the trail and in a more intimate setting. For Amee, outdoor adventure has never been so stimulating.

Wonderfully fantastic… The book was amazing… It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to it… The characters and their personalities match them perfectly… The plot and the storyline was very descriptive and amazing…
The chemistry was great between the characters of this well written storyline that kept me turning the pages until the very end!
Amee climbed the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains, both to prove she could, but also to try for some much needed alone-time. She needed to remind herself she was independent, self sufficient; that the hurt and pain she left behind wasn’t going to define her. She hadn’t expected the hard punch of attraction to hit her all the way up the top of the mountain, but Pierce knocked her off her feet nevertheless. Will this be a passing fling, or something more stable?
I enjoyed this quick read. The author did an amazing job setting the scene and certainly whet my appetite to google some pictures of the Appalachians. I find in this day and age the temptation to throw technology out the window and enjoy a simpler life and be less connected twenty-four seven is a real thing. Following Amee as she did exactly this was a delight and something I could really empathise with. Readers looking for a slow build up in the chemistry and intimacy between Amee and Pierce won’t find that here. They each are extremely attracted to the other and not afraid to reach out for what they want. While I, personally, would have preferred a little more time to get to know each of the characters I felt their chemistry and connection was written strongly and believably enough to compensate for their near insta-lust.
The sex was hot and explicitly written – readers looking for a sensual and steamy read should find this definitely fits the bill. I was pleased though that after their initial intimacy things didn’t get weird or stilted between them. I enjoyed this fact this had a Happy For Now ending and that both Pierce and Amee clearly found what they were each looking for, for right now.
Relatable and sexy, this short story is a great, quick read. Disconnect your brain, grab a large, cold drink and enjoy the steamy sensuality between Amee and Pierce as they each trust and reach out to grab what they both want. A fun and sexy read.
This was a funny and hot story. it wasn’t at all what I expected but it was refreshing and fun to read.

Amee needs some time to regroup – she caught her fiance with her best friend. She climbs to the top of the highest peak in the Appalachians, and plans to spend a few days there. Pierce runs the camp. A real mountain man now, his heart was broken by a cheating fiancee. This was a fun book to read. Amee and Pierce have some hilarious conversations filled with innuendo, and they are super steamy together. I especially love that he helps her push the limits of what she’s capable of doing out-of-doors, and they find a happy for now.

I enjoy a good really short read sometimes but I didn’t get into this story at all. I am glad that Amee is able to get away from her cheating ex and meets Pierce. I did think the beginning with the flier mess up was funny.

A very short quick story to read. This is Amee Colburn who caught her fiance and best friend so she decided to go hiking up the highest peak of the Smoky Mountains.

This is the first novella by this author that I have read. I am glad that I took the chance on it. While it was short, the characters were clear, conveyed emotion, had a clear connection, chemistry, passion, heartbreak, and a kindred experience. Black certainly grabbed the reader’s attention and kept their attention throughout, leaving them with a sense of wanting to know more.
Pierce was a director/owner of a cabin getaway at the too of the mountains. Amee was using the hike and week up there as a chance to regroup after finding her fiance and best friend cheating on her right before her wedding. Pierce understood her experience, as his ex also cheated on him.
There was an instant chemistry between them, yet Pierce let Amee set the pace as he sensed she needed a sense of control. He helped her regain her footing, her feeling of control over her own life and her decisions, as well as her sense of trust in herself. She knew that, no matter what happened after the end of her week on the mountain, she would always be grateful to him for that.

This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed this fast-paced steamy novella. It’s quick to read, no cliffhangers and a happy for now ending. I liked the characters, both Pierce and Amee have trust issues due to their partners cheating on them. They are immediately attracted to each other and that helps build the confidence needed to cope with the betrayals.
Sweet story, bit on the short side but entertaining nonetheless. I will definitely keep an eye out for more by this author.
This is my second book from this author and was another super little read. This is Amee and Pierce’s story these two meet after she checks into his camp she is there to sort out her head after finding her best friend and fiancee together. I liked this little read and thought these two were great characters.
Amee was due to get married until she came home & found out she wasn’t due to fiancée & was cheating. Amee decided to take a hike up a mountain to clear her head. Pierce owned the cabin Amee had rented to get away. Little did Amee know that Pierce was going to be that person she could trust & to help clear her head/heart.
