Taken by the Mountain Man

Mountain Men of Whiskey River, Book 4

De: Kaci Rose

Narrado por: Lexi Evans, Oliver Highpoint

He's a scarred up mountain man. She is the curvy girl no one wants, until him. Who knew she’d be the one to save him?

Cole

Go in and save my friend's girl. That was the mission. I never expected her, the girl who wasn’t supposed to be there.
She’s injured…and mine.
So, I take her back to my cabin to care for her.
Only she wasn’t supposed to want to leave….
I have no problem holding her against her will until that first tear falls.

Jana

I never expected to be kidnapped by my best friend's mother, and I also never expected to be rescued by a strange sexy mountain man.
Yes, this is currently my life.
When this strong and slightly scary man takes me back to his cabin, I have no idea what to expect.
But it wasn't how gentle he is and how much he takes care of me.
And I sure as hell wasn't expecting to fall in love with him. Too bad I can't stay.

My Thoughts on Taken by the Mountain Man

I found this to be another good installment in this series. Not only did I like the main characters Cole and Jana, but also liked getting to revisit with characters from the previous books in the series. While this book was definitely on the short side, I felt like it did a good job of giving you plenty of story. The events that started this book overlap with the previous one, but the author did a good job at covering what happened, this time from Jana and Cole’s point of view. Things quickly moved on from there and Cole was nursing Jana back to health in his cabin, but they were also falling in love due to the instant connection they felt when they met.
I knew this was an insta-love kind of story so was prepared for the quick progression of the relationship. I still appreciated the moments of actual conversation, the clear signs of caring for one another, and how their big issue was resolved. Adding in the excellent performance by the two highly enjoyable narrators and it made for an overall good experience, and I look forward to the next book in the series and any more from this author and these narrators.

Short but very satisfying insta-love story

I am a big fan of this Whiskey River series, and I totally loved this short story addition. Even though it was short, it seemed like the perfect length for a couple with few impediments to their happily ever after. This series is getting better and better. I love the warmth and respect in Kaci Rose’s characters. I love how the handsome men are protective without being overprotective. The ex-military, mountain man gives Jana space when she needs it and carefully considers how he can make her happy. Jana goes through a little personal growth as well. I like them as people and rooted for their happily ever after. I was so pleased by this story that I will definitely re-listen. The steam is brief but perfectly steamy.

The narration by Lexi Evan and Oliver Highpoint was excellent. They each embodied all the characters and matched each other’s character voices very well. Both narrators wonderfully conveyed the warmth between the pair and their nuanced emotions. Lexi Evans brings an appropriate youthful feel for Jana, who is in her early 20s. Oliver Highpoint is very convincing as the hero with his gravelly, masculine, sexy voice. This series has had a bounty of excellent narrators, which is a real gem to find in a romance series.

Sister book...sort of

I read books 1-3 and was chomping at the bit for the next book (to stay in order). This book is 2 hours and half is rehashing book 3 from the Jana and Cole POV. It was a good book but get it on sale like I did.

Thank Goodness!!

A small part of my heart would have been broken if we didn’t get this little side story! As per always, the storyline is written and flows well, and the narrators are amazingggggg!!

Good book!

Audiobook was good, but didn’t have the right performers. The right combination of book and performer makes perfect!

Awesome Sauce!!!

I'm so glad when I discovered more of this series was out. these stories could be so much longer the characters you fall in love with. Even though these are short they have so much in the story so very well written. well worth getting. the narrators are so good they pull your mind into the story.

taken by the mountain man

I absolutely loves this story. it was real full of hope and extremely romantic. beautiful

Great add to the collection

This was a great ad to the collection. This was not my favorite book in the series, but it was a good book.
Audio reading was on par with the others

Very rushed.

Of all the stories thus far, this timeline seemed to be the most rushed. I’m still committed to the series though.

AWFUL to listen to

The story was cute, short & sweet. But good lord, WHY would you even bother hiring a male & female to read the separate chapters if they aren’t going to keep it flowing with the different male & female voices throughout each chapter?!! Listening to the man try to do several female voices.. At first I laughed so hard my side started to hurt. That lasted all of 30 seconds & then I was totally irritated & put off by it. I had to force myself to listen to the book because I had already paid for it, it’s not like I could return it. I’ve never listened to a book that did this.. It was horrible & it really ruined the story for me.
