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.

Quick read

A fun quick read. Avery and David are great characters and I enjoyed reading their journey to happiness. I read the book and listen to the audio version as well.

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.

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.

A Steamy Story but the Narration Mixed Me Up

With the narrator of this audiobook, I honestly spent most of the first part thinking this was an MM romance—until it switched perspectives. I really liked the narrator, though, and it’s totally not his fault. In both our defense, Avery is a gender-neutral name!

Once I got over the surprise that it wasn’t an MM story, I have to say this is the best one in the series I’ve listened to so far. The plot—well, I’m not sure I can even call it a plot—but the steamy scenes? Let’s just say there’s one in the woods against a tree, and that’s definitely a win.

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.
