REVIEW:

What a delightful story!
I’m not sure why, I really thought I started a sweet cozy romantic story, the first page gave already these trigger warnings: Injury Attempted Murder Blood Stalking Car Accident Head Injury Violence Death or Dying Kidnapping and Abduction!!
Oh well, I just had to adjust my expectations LOL.

The start was immediately great and catching!

Daniel lands in a plight, quite seriously injured after falling down the landslide, he’s all alone.
After getting rescued he ends up in a B&B managed by an older lady Beth.
With Beth, we meet also her relatives and what an amazing family they are. One of them is her nephew Joseph. Joseph, who is ranger and works on the rescue squad.

Daniel wanted to stay in the friend zone with Joseph. I was a bit disappointed because Joseph was a catch. Serious, he was everything you could ask for, a beautiful man with a bronze, muscled body and his eyes!  He’s gentle, takes care of Daniel, makes the hottest promises, has patience, and needs his space. So yeah Daniel, why again?
(Okay patience is a good one, wait for it)

There’s a reason Daniel left Seattle and ended up in Beth’s B&B, it follows him and gives this story some good proportion angst and drama.
This is a story you want to read on and on until the last page. I was mesmerized by the whole picture. It was amazingly entertaining, there are so many good feelings they just overrule all the drama, pain, and angsty moments.
I adored the interfering family, can I have them?

It’s a very pleasantly written narrative, the author has a lucid way of expressing, quite appealing. The scenery was stunning, the mountain, the wildlife, the sea turtles, dolphins, orca’s, all more than stunningly to behold. We can all experience it through Daniel’s eyes.
Overall a delightful story with well-developed, engaging, explicit characters, and a super-duper plot.
There are emotional moments where I couldn’t stop my tears from falling, the beauty and secrets life has, if you open your eyes you can see them.

A loud shout out for this wonderful narrative!
