Consumed by the Mountain Man

Willowbrook Ridge Lodge, Book 1

By: Julia Stone

Narrated by: Dan Levy

Avery: Working in the lodge’s kitchen, my job is to keep the food coming and make the guests happy. Every morning, when the older, rugged ranger comes in for breakfast, I can’t stop my heart from racing. David is completely off-limits—he’s my boss’s brother, and one wrong move could ruin everything. The way his eyes linger on me, like he’s imagining all the things he wants to do…it makes me wonder if taking the risk might be worth it.

David: I don’t come for the pancakes—I come here for her. The innocent woman whose sweet smile tempts me knows just how to get under my skin. She thinks I don’t notice her sneaking glances, but I’ve seen enough to know she wants me too. I’ve waited long enough. I’ll have her beneath me soon—it’s only a matter of time.

Good Quick Listen but…

The story is a good quick listen this is a single narrator. He does it like it is a duet. What does bring down the story is that the male part sounds like an old man that needs to clear his throat. The female part actually sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. It does not sound like he is trying at all. I have listened to many audiobooks that have male narrators that do female parts they usually have a feminine cadence to their voice. He just sounds like he’s whispering out of breath.

Great story

Julia Stone wrote a great short story of Mountain men and their hotness. The story is entertaining and sexual. Avery is a cook who snags the attention of David. Will they work out or will this be filling. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Avery and David

The first book in the Willowbrook Ridge Lodge, by a new Author to me. Avery and David's short story is well written and held my interest. I want to read more in this series. I enjoyed listening to Dan Levy narrate their story.

Discover Love in the Mountains!

Story: Avery (h) never expected her quiet life at Shady Pines Lodge to turn upside down over one unforgettable mountain man, ranger David (H). While her crush on the lodge owner's imposing brother seemed harmless enough, things heat up quickly when David makes it clear he’s interested in Avery, too. As they navigate the challenges of dating under the sharp eye of his no-nonsense sister, David and Avery find themselves diving into a connection deeper than either anticipated. Hot and steamy instalove, age gap, mountain man romance, exploring love, connection, and belonging.

Audio: Narrator Dan Levy does a good job with David, though the growly/slowness was right on the edge of being too slow for my preference. He did a fine job with Avery's voice - I personally prefer a duet style (though I get this is a short work) and he just didn't click for me as Avery. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Yes Please

Three words SHORT, SWEET, STEAMY! Consumed by the Mountain Man is a quick steamy read that is entertaining and keeps you reading. I'm pretty sure we would all want a mountain man in our lives after reading this.

Awesome listen.

I absolutely loved listening to this story. I liked the characters so much. I was hooked right from the start. Enjoy.

Quick Hit of Gritty Entertainment

A solid, no-nonsense listen—quick, easy, but still packed with intrigue and grit. The narrator’s voice was rough and rugged, exactly how it should be for a story like this. Kept me hooked the whole way through.
