Facing an uncertain future, I dropped out of college and moved home to take care of my baby.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, I wouldn\u2019t change a thing. My ex might be a deadbeat, but I have my daughter. I have a job I enjoy. I have well-meaning friends who try to fix me up, insisting they know\u00a0<i>\u201cjust the right guy\u201d<\/i>\u00a0this time.<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t want a relationship. I don\u2019t need one. At least I didn\u2019t think so until Ronan. He\u2019s different. He likes me\u00a0<i>and<\/i>\u00a0my daughter. He puts cracks in the walls I\u2019ve erected around my heart. And when I\u2019m in danger, he\u2019s the one I trust to protect me.<\/p>\n<p><b>Falling for a single mom and her daughter was the last thing I expected.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s just something about Angel that calls to me. She\u2019s beautiful. Kind. Funny. And when I\u2019m with Angel and her daughter, the dreams I gave up on years ago don\u2019t seem so unreachable anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I\u2019m hesitant. For all the danger I faced fearlessly on the battlefield, I\u2019m scared of being hurt by a woman again.<\/p>\n<p>Then someone tries to hurt Angel.\u00a0<i>My<\/i>\u00a0Angel. Determined to protect her, I\u2019ll use everything I learned in the Special Forces, along with the help from my teammates at Green Mountain Guardians, to make sure no one ever hurts her again.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mountain Champion<\/b>\u00a0is a steamy romantic suspense set in small town Vermont featuring a former Delta Force operator, a single mom with a spunky daughter, a security team of Special Ops veterans, found family, forced proximity, edge-of-your-seat twists, and a guaranteed HEA.

Hazel was putting her matchmaking magic skills to work by trying to get Ronan and Angel a single mom together, in my opinion Hazel got this one so right.<\/p>\n<p>Ronan may claim he does not want a relationship, but you cannot tell this by his actions. \u00a0Ronan stole my heart when he built the small ski slope in Angel\u2019s yard for Haley. Then he keeps going back to check on them. Ronan is only fooling himself because it is obvious just how much he cares about Angel and Haley by the things he does for them.<\/p>\n<p>Watching the relationships grow between Ronan, Angel, and Haley is one of my favorite parts. I loved seeing Ronan and Angel slowly open up to each, but it was the things Ronan did for Haley made me fall in love with him even more. Every interaction between them felt genuine and sweet in the best way. Ronan was protective, caring, and impossible not to love. Angel and Haley made the perfect addition to his life even if he fought it every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>I love Gia Cobie stories mostly because you do not have to read the series in order to follow the stories. They are stand alone they can be read in order or not. I personally started with book 3 in this series but I will be going back to read book 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gia Cobie is an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author living in upstate New York with her husband and pets.
