Synopsis
***** Mature Content, Sexual Situations, Adult Situations, Strong Language *****
She found him on a snowy night. He sparked her desires and inflamed her dreams.
Independent and feisty, Shea Madison has a tussle on her hands. Living in and loving her quiet little corner of Montana, she’s fiercely determined to fight a real estate developer trying to turn her quaint little mountain town into a touristy ski resort. So, when an outsider shows up to study the effects on the area, she instantly attempts to sway his impression… even if it means a little harmless flirting with the enticing visitor.
Rhys Weland’s charade has one purpose—to bring the locals around to the idea of the resort, primarily the ringleader, Ms. Shea Madison. Embroiled in his deception, he’s stunned by the feelings she draws from deep inside him. Her integrity and sincerity quickly have him second-guessing his twisted morals. Her spirit arouses his soul. Her sensuality steals his breath.
In the dark of the night, in the warmth of the fire, the passion smoldering between them combusts. But just when it all seems to make sense, one small stubborn mistake shreds the fragile bond between them. Will an impetuous act reignite their flame, or will their love vanish like sparks in the air?

My Thoughts
This book was HOT, SEXY, STEAMY, and a few times I was fanning myself from the pure, raw, intensity between the two main characters!
Shea is a recluse, she hides on top of her mountain home and only ventures out when she has to. She likes her quiet home life and the seclusion because that way she can't get hurt again. But what she doesn't realize is she is lonely on that mountain and she may just need someone.
Along comes Rhys, in all his sexy glory! He is there in that town for a reason and it has everything to do with Shea. But what he doesn't expect is for her to worm her little tight ass right into his heart & soul. He can't get enough of her but knows that he will end up hurting her without meaning to.
I was entertained and horny the whole time I read this book. I wasn't sure if I needed to fan my face or my vagina... It was seriously HOT and it had just enough drama to add character to the story without it being just about sex and nothing else. It is a quick read and it is pretty fast. There was a time I had to take a break from reading because I was going to wear my hand out or husband... Either way I needed a break from the smut but once I picked it back up I was hooked until the very end!
One of the best things I loved about this book was the setting. Sibylla makes you FEEL like you are there in that small, snowy, Montana town and I could picture everything that was described. It made for a nice read.
Overall, I give this book a 4/5 and recommend it to all you ladies with a spank bank collection or if you just need a nice sexy, quick read.

EXCERPT:
Rhys knitted his brow thoughtfully as their waitress came
over to get their order. Shea looked up and muttered a very unladylike, “Aw,
shit,” at the young girl who appeared at the table. Rhys looked up.
Hmm, she looked relatively familiar. He’d met her
at the store, and again at the bar. What was her name? Brittany? No, wait…
Trinity. And her eyes were wide as she took in the sight of Shea and Rhys
at the table before her.
“Um, hey… Shea…” and turning to Rhys, she flushed deeply.
“Rhys… You guys are, like… on a date or something?”
Shea groaned and planted her forehead in her palm, causing
Rhys to smile.
“Um, yeah… took me a while, but I finally talked her into
dinner. Gotta feed her now and then, you know. I can’t just keep her tied to
the bed all the time.”
Shea’s head shot up in shock, and Trinity looked as though
she was about to faint.
“Shea,” Rhys continued as though he hadn’t just said
anything remotely scintillating, “do you know what you’d like?” He looked over
at her stunned expression. “New York steak or filet mignon? Or, what’s the
special tonight?”
“Um…” Trinity gasped, “Prime rib.”
“Sounds good to me. How about you, sweetheart?” he grinned
back over at her. She was still stunned, but he could see a flicker of anger
beginning to burn in her eyes. God, she was fun to rile up.
“Prime rib is fine,” she said shortly. “And a Glacier Select
Ale, please. No glass…”
Rhys nodded at her selection of the local microbrew. “Same
for me, please.” He shot Trinity a smile as she rushed off to the kitchen.
“Why are you always doing that to me?” Shea demanded as soon
as the young girl had left their table. “Is it like your goal in life to
mortify me in front of that girl?”
Rhys chuckled and reached across the table for her hand,
smoothing his fingertips over her painted nails. Remembering how these hands
had clenched against his shoulders, tangled in his hair, stroked his cock. Beautiful
little hands. “Honestly?”
“No, I want you to lie to me,” Shea sarcastically ground
out. “What the fuck? Yes, honestly.”
“I love to see your eyes sparkle like they do when you get
all feisty. The flush in your cheeks.” His voice lowered. “The way you draw in
a deep breath and it pushes your tits out so beautifully. You’re incredibly
sexy when you’re mad.”

About Sibylla Matilde
Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the dusty Old West gold country on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she changed schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.
Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.
