Billionaire Lumberjack by Gwyn McNamee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

The heroine: Brooke – She has had a terrible last few days. She was going to leave the country on an ‘extended vacation’ to figure out what she wants to do with her life but the Seattle-Tacoma airport was closed, so she decided to take a friend up on the offer to for some time alone at her friend’s mountain cabin.

The Hero: Beau – He is a billionaire CEO of his own company, but he lives in the mountains in an isolated cabin all alone. He pays people well to take care of his business and makes sure that he never has to go to board meetings or anything else. The work he does do for his company is over the phone. He left the world for a reason and he doesn’t want to go back. He loves the isolation of his cabin and likes to be alone.

The Story: As Brooke was driving up to her friends’ cabin in the mountains, a snowstorm came in and the check engine light on her Jeep came on. It wasn’t long before her Jeep just shut down and Brooke had no idea that she had missed her turn and was nowhere near any town. Though she did see chimney smoke in the distance, so she made her way through the woods to Beau’s cabin.

By the time she arrived, the snowstorm had gotten much worse, and Brooke hadn’t really been well prepared to go to the mountains, so she didn’t have great outerwear and was nearly hypothermic. When she saw Beau with an axe, she passed out. So, they ended up stuck together until the storm ended and she could get her Jeep towed out of where it sat.

I liked the story from the start. Beau was a bit grumpy for having his isolation disturbed unexpectedly but overall, he was pretty good about it. Both of the main characters have past trauma, so it was a while before that all came out. I actually had no idea what each of their backstories would be and though there were clues, I still was so wrong. It isn’t often that an author can surprise me and it made the story so much better. I hate it when you already know the truth before it is revealed.
