Lumberjack by Jenika Snow

He hasn’t been with a woman in five years.

She hasn’t been with a real man... until now.

Synopsis

VIVIAN

I’ve had enough of the crap that goes along with living in the city. So, I packed for a weeklong vacation in the mountains. Isolation in a cabin for the next seven days sounds like a good way to recoup and get my life back in order. After getting lost while hiking, I stumble upon a cabin that has me questioning whether to ask for help, or if I should brave staying the night in the woods.

JAKE

I left everything behind years ago after the woman I was with betrayed me. Now I work as a lumberjack and live my life as a recluse. Being celibate for the last five years says a lot about my self-control, but I’m a man and have needs, and not giving into what I really want is hard as hell. But I can’t let myself get close to anyone, not even for a few hours. Getting close is how I got screwed over before.

As soon as I see Vivian, I know I have to have her. It’s been forever since I’ve had a woman. Because of a storm rolling in, she’ll have to stay with me overnight. We could do a lot of filthy things in that time. I pride myself on my control, but when it comes to Vivian, I don’t know if I can keep my hands to myself.

I know I can’t.

I have needs, and it’s clear Vivian’s in need of a real man to help her unwind. I can certainly help her in that department.

Warning: If you’re looking for a sappy, pull-your-heartstring kind of book … this isn’t it. If you want a short and dirty story featuring an all-around alpha hero who hasn’t had a woman in years, and a heroine who’ll find out what it’s like to be with a real man ... this might be for you.

Review

“I’m about to claim every single part of you.” I stared right into her eyes. “I’m about to own every inch of you.” I lowered my voice. “And when I’m done with you, Vivian, you’ll know exactly what it’s like to be with a real man.”

Jake's been living out in the middle of nowhere going on five years. After being betrayed by those closest to him, he needed a fresh start. But five years alone means five years of loneliness - no friends, no woman, no real home. Vivian has been feeling trapped in the city and takes a break in the wilderness. When a hike finds her lost, she happens upon Jake's cabin and finds a new path. These two shared an instantaneous connection and it may have been lust at first sight, but the author gifted us with plenty of epilogues to show that this lust grew into a beautiful, enduring love. While it wasn't incredibly deep or evocative, this smut-filled story hit all the right spots!
