This is the fifth book in the series of standalone instalove romances set in Rosewood Ridge and is about Derek and a runaway bride named Sadie. I really enjoyed reading their story and thought that the epilogue was fun as well. I look forward to reading the next book about Makenna.

This was the first book I have read from the Purple Oasis paranormal romance series and I was able to jump in and enjoy this book pretty easily although I am sure it is better if you have read previous books. It is fairly light for a post-apocalyptic book and I enjoyed reading this story. I plan to look into reading more from this series in the future.

⛰️ Prequel: Battling the Mountain Man: Paxton & Reese = To Be Read

⛰️ Tempting the Mountain Man: Tucker & Hannah ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is about Tucker & Hannah and like the rest of the books in the Blackbear Bluff world it is a fast paced standalone instalove novella and even mentions some of the other characters from books in the previous two series set in this town during chapter 7. I enjoyed reading this book and while it got a little more serious than the books in the second series Bachelorettes of Blackbear Bluff it came back around quick and had a really sweet epilogue at the end. While I did read most of the second series set in Blackbear Bluff I haven't read the first yet and the references to those characters is so small that neither are needed to enjoy starting this one first, they just add a little something extra. I look forward to reading the next book in this series about Aiden & Tinley.

⛰️ Soothing the Mountain Man: An Age Gap Instalove Romance: Aiden & Tinley 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This book is about Aiden & Tinley and like the rest of the books in the Blackbear Bluff world it is a fast paced standalone instalove novella. While this book is a standalone novella it does make references to Tempting the Mountain Man since the first book was about Tinley's sister Hannah. This was a fun and lighthearted novella that I read in a single sitting and I look forward to reading the next book in this series about Grayson & Piper.

⛰️ Satisfying the Mountain Man: An Age Gap Mistaken Identity Romance: Grayson & Piper 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I really enjoyed reading Grayson & Piper's story in this book and thought it was an excellent addition to this series of standalone instalove romances. The epilogue at the end was cute and I am looking forward to reading the next book about Piper's friend Layna.

⛰️ Thrilling the Mountain Man: An Age Gap Instalove Romance: Noah & Layna ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was about Piper's friend Layna and Grayson's neighbor Noah getting together while Layna is house sitting for Piper and Grayson. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. I didn't enjoy this one as several of the others but it was still a good read and I look forward to reading more from this series.

⛰️ Pleasing the Mountain Man: An Age Gap Instalove Romance: Wes & Scarlett ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was about Layna's friend Scarlett and Wes getting together after she initially mistakes his house for her friends boyfriends home. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. This was an a quick and enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from this series. The epilogue also has a very brief mention of the town (Rosewood Ridge) that the next series is supposed to take place in.

⛰️ Catching the Mountain Man: An Age Gap Bodyguard Romance: Jace & Emily 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This book is the last book in the Lumberjacks of Blackbear Bluff Series and it focuses on Jace & Emily. In this book Jace & Emily get together after Emily mistakes Jace for a police officer when she needs help because of an ex boyfriend. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. This was an a quick and enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future including her next series Rosewood Ridge Mavericks.
