At forty-six, Ashley Cooke isn\u2019t looking for romance, she\u2019s looking for a miracle. Her family\u2019s Montana ski resort is one bad season away from closing, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Hiring a crew from the local sober living home wasn\u2019t part of her plan, but neither was their six-foot tall, bearded and tattooed administrator.<\/p>\n Matthew Madigan knows about starting over. As a former rockstar and recovering addict, he runs his sober living home to give other men the second chance he once needed. Working alongside Ashley to keep her small-town ski hill alive stirs up feelings he thought he\u2019d buried for good.<\/p>\n Between snowstorms, chairlift mishaps, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that makes a Montana winter melt, Ashley and Madigan discover that second chances aren\u2019t just for the mountain. Sometimes they\u2019re for the heart, too.<\/p>\n Content notes: Addiction, divorce, mourning the loss of a parent<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Twinsie Kelly’s Review<\/p>\n This is not your stereotypical holiday Hallmark failing ski resort that is saved by a hot as hell rock star. Come As You Are is SO MUCH MORE! All of the characters, from the main characters to the each of the side characters, including the wonderful slobbery \u201crescue\u201d dog, have so much depth that you will really feel like you are living the story. Madigan and the guys from Little Timber are addicts. They understand that once an addict, always an addict and no matter how long you are clean, you fight the good fight each and every day. Ashley and her family (mother and daughter) are trying to keep the ski resort afloat while feeling the loss of her father and dealing with her nasty ex-husband. When Ashley and Madigan start working together, they have a chemistry that is palpable! Absolutely electrifying! It is refreshing that these two characters are Gen X-ers and more mature than most other MCs that I am used to. They start their relationship with eyes wide open but still guarded. They both have their own obstacles and responsibilities that must come first, but as they learn to navigate what could be\u2026.well, lets just say that you must read this.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t be where you are today, if you didn\u2019t go through the things you did in the past. These two are perfect examples of it.<\/p>\n This book seriously has ALL THE FEELS! It is funny, steamy, heart wrenching, and with incredible friends\u2026everything!<\/p>\n YOU<\/p>\n SHOULD<\/p>\n READ<\/p>\n THIS!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jess K.
