Billionaire Lumberjack (Lumberjacks in Love, #1)
Gwyn McNamee
Rescued by the billionaire lumberjack... Lost. Alone. Freezing on the side of a desolate mountain in a massive snowstorm. Until a rugged man with an ax saves me. Waking in his warm, comfortable bed leaves more than one question. How did I get here? Where are my clothes? And who is this handsome recluse with striking dark eyes and a grumpy demeanor? The answers only bring more mysteries. He doesn’t want me here. Doesn’t want his secrets exposed. I don’t want him to know mine, either. But there’s only so long we can deny this sizzling attraction. Only so long until I learn the truth about my billionaire lumberjack and our pasts come back to haunt us. Grab this steamy stand-alone about a billionaire in hiding, the photographer who stumbles upon him, and what happens when they’re trapped together during a major snow storm with building attraction and dark secrets!

Your rating:
While this read started out full of clichés and promised to be 100% predictable, I thought it might still be fun to hear it play out. Who doesn’t love a good mountain man / remote cabin / forced-proximity / billionaire read? It has a lot going for it.
However, the writing isn’t very strong. I get the impression this author either has control issues, or just doesn’t have any faith that their readers don’t have functioning brains. Everything is repeated not just once or twice but over and over again. We get the character’s mindset and reason for everything—great. But then … we get it again and again and again. It makes the read very slow-paced. Rather than advancing the plot, so much of the internal dialogue is literally just repeatedly dumbing down points that have already been made.
Made for a pretty boring experience. Based on this read, would I read more from this author?
Probably not. I can do cliché and predictable, light reads are great for while I’m working. But this felt chock-full of mansplaining … just not my vibe.
If you like quick, steamy, trope-y romance though, you’ll probably enjoy it so don’t let my review chase you away. Just not my cup of tea.
2 stars.

Audio:
Absolutely perfect audio production.
High quality, and dual narrator, both of whom perform the book very well and sound great.
5 stars on this front.
