It is a good book with great characters and good plot. Again it is nothing similar as I expected and it is great! Only thing is reduce a star: the ending feels a bit rushed to me.

I'm not even surprised that I loved this book as well, honestly. Stef & Cass' romance was sweet as molasses, and despite the story taking place over a few days, it felt natural and real. Of course, they're an eventful few days, to say the least. Most of the angst had nothing to do with the romance, which I was really grateful for.
On to book 3, which will be Adrian's book and holy damn am I excited for it.

Absolutely gorgeous.
The setting is amazing. Stef and Cass are super adorable together. This is a whirlwind romance but I found it completely believable.
If you like sassy city boys, semi-closeted cowboys, great scenery, hurt/comfort (but little angst), and great writing, then you'll love this.

This was cute, and I adored both Stef and Cass, but I wished the story hadn't moved quite so quickly. They spend two days with each other, and the catastrophes just kept piling on, and then they were both willing to fully change their lives to make room for the other. Either a longer trek, or more time after the camping trip so we could see how they work together when not in mortal peril would have been lovely to see.

Audio: 5 stars, like I always say, I love Gary Furlong's narration. Audio found on Scribd.
Book:4 stars
This was just as good as book three haha this hooked me from page one and I enjoyed every minute of this!
Also this book can 100% be read as a standalone.

Book 2 of the Southern Lights series of interconnected stand alones follows Stefan who we met in book 1 & Cass they meet as Stefan was meant to go on a horse trek with his best friend Tanner & his boyfriend Ethan from book 1 for a tour of some of the landmarks from the Lord Of The Rings movies but Tanner & Ethan have to bail suddenly leaving Stefan with two other guests and the guide Cass. Stef is not one for outdoorsy shit and is reluctant to go forward with the trek but does so once he catches sight of the eye candy that is Cass and picks up vibes that he may not be as straight as Ethan led him to believe.
I enjoyed every second of listening to this book, it is full of witty banter and smoking hot chemistry between Stef & Cass, and although overall a lighthearted read the characters do find themselves in a pretty serious and tense situation which grabbed my attention and kept me hooked. I'm not usually a fan of insta love, and although there is an element of that here, it develops in a much more believable way than I've read before. Stef is full of sass but has a quiet vulnerability to him and Cass for all his rugged manly appearance is unsure of himself and how his bisexuality may effect his life as he hasn't come out to his dad as he married his high-school sweetheart and never saw the point in doing so. There is really only one spicy scene, but it is extensive and delicious.
Jay Hogan is fast becoming a favourite of mine, and Gary Furlong is the perfect choice of narrator for her witty, sarcastic humour filled writing as his delivery of it is brilliant. 🌶🌶

I really liked this one! Stef was a little hard for me to warm up to, but I liked Cassidy immediately. They work really well together, and seeing Stef come into himself throughout this book was really sweet. I was STRESSED TO THE MAX for the whole middle section, and so I read it all in one sitting so that I had the resolution I was craving. 5/5.

An amazing read I could barely put down
So I was drawn to this because I’m a huge LOTR fan and was intrigued by the tour mentioned, but I got SO much more than I expected. There was snark and sass and sizzling chemistry, and then there is danger and adventure and nail-biting tension, followed by sweetness and “aw” moments. This can be read as a stand-alone, but I’m going to go back and read the first and will be anticipating more!
