TIMBER: The Mountain Man's Babies

I actually enjoyed this bad boy romance. I loved it and would recommend it. Read had many steamy parts to the story and the events were believable. I really enjoyed it and gave it 5 stars. Read it on my KU but bought it to re read. Main things I enjoyed reading in this novel is the growth of the hero in becoming the man the heroine needed. It was really nice ending.********CAUTION POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD> PLEASE STOP NOW IF YOU DON"T WANT READ ANY SPOILERS>THANKS**********The hero was no knight in shining armor but he grew on me as story progressed. This guy is man-whore to the 10th degree. However his bad ways got him burned with a barely legal sheriff's daughter so he moved out in the wilderness to get away from the troubles the sheriff was causing him and his business partner.Heroine is straight arrow, God fearing, Christian woman that just got dumped one week before her wedding. She is humiliated and vulnerable. She is also sheltered and never been out of pastor father and Christian family's view. Her fiancée was also very straight and narrow, they do very little (I mean little) as couple for two years. So when she accidently finds herself in the hero's backyard I can see how she easily gives into her wild side. She says it herself she is vulnerable and hurting, so why not give into your deepest desires. I mean what does she have to lose? She just got dumbed badly in a small, narrow, minded community.Hero doesn't make it easy either, he was a man-whore after all. This tiger isn't going to change his stripes overnight. So they fall all over each other and next day her ex fiancée comes looking for her because her family called him concerned. Being a "good" Christian man he goes to look for her and tells everyone, jerk, he caught heroine with the hero. Heroine wants some more memories before she leaves, because she knows what she is going back too. Hero is happy to oblige, man-whore that he is only thinks about one thing. Says good bye to her and wishes her well. After all he has had plenty of one night stands and never looked back.Except, he can't stop thinking about her. He wonders how she is doing. He remembers their night together. I think he even mentions it was the best he ever had. He even has opportunity to be man-whore that he is, but he doesn't even think about it. Not even tempted. But he can't figure it out. Our hero is slow on the uptake, so get ready for long ride on this book.Heroine comes back, not once but two times before hero mans up. He makes and says several big mistakes. He thinks at one point she means she is going to get an abortion and is behind her. His words are that it is her body so whatever she wants to do he will support it. She is appalled. Her only dream has always been to be a mother. This heroines ambitions go along with her Christian values, she just always wanted to be mother. Gets upset and leaves hero, telling him she doesn't need him. Goes home but her father treats her very badly. Father even goes as far as physically hurt her. She is not open about being pregnant with them and goes to doctor. Finds out she is having multiple babies so she goes back to hero for help again.He mans up this time. While she was away he was getting ready to go find her. He, again, can't get her off his mind and he is now worried about the baby was well. So he calls friend to come help him find her. They never exchange much information past first name so he needs help find her. Luckily, or unluckily, she comes back panicking. She doesn’t have many choices. She was sheltered and expected to marry. She never got skill past high school and little work experience. She doesn't know what she is going to do to support multiple babies. She panics and goes back to hero.This time the guy is smart to keep his fears to himself. He doesn't mention he doesn't feel he is ready to be a father or settle down. He decides to help her but with the thought he will set her up and financially provide for her once babies come. Again, not thinking long term here but at least he is growing and accepting his responsibilities. I do agree he does try. He may not jump for joy and he realizes he messed up with the misunderstanding on the abortion, but he also respects her wish to keep babies and her dreams of always wanting to be a mother.So they settle into domestic bliss. Heroine is so naive. She thinks they are in love and he is going to marry her. She doesn't say it at first, but it comes out later. Hero is thinking this is temporary and he is working to keep her happy. But he is loving it, even thought he doesn't fully realize it. He does little things that show me he cares more than he realizes. He is quick to fix mistakes he makes in what he says, he tells his friends to scale down on their rough talk around her, he doesn't judge her or make her feel bad about wanting to be a mother, he keeps her safe in his home, he doesn't put her down (unless he feels very cornered when she pressures him to commit or say I love you), he does support her as much as he is able (he keeps growing as person), he never steps out on her (even thought he had opportunities when he was being the wingman to his funny buddy), he builds her a crib for the baby (he will need more as we soon realize), he can't stop thinking about her, he sleeps with her and sleeps with her good, he can't stop touching her, finds her very attractive and can't stop thinking about her, and as soon as she leaves he keeps berating himself for being the @ss he is.So things come to head in this exciting climax scene. Felt sad for the heroine that her family turns their back on her. However, like all the other times she flees hero is right there when she needs him. Those times apart help him grow little each time. Finally, I mean finally, he steps up and becomes man heroine needed. Sure it took whole book but I loved how he progressed and he was loyal. I can forgive many things because of his actions and the fact he was there for her. Neither one expected what happened, but I like how hero changes enough (and I mean enough) to be the husband and father those kids will need.I would recommend this bad boy book. I will not say he is total reformed, but I will give points for him being loyal and learns each time from the mistakes he makes in handling the heroine. I also understood where heroine comes from. She may have given into the attraction to hero, but she was naive (never even had orgasm) and had these big dreams that come from her strong Christian values. She may have been corrupted by hero but she was on board with it. The way this hero was, if things hadn't happened the way they did I could see him maybe walking away to later regret it or taking way longer to get to the point we did. Just loved how heroine kept coming back. She did right by coming back. He was part of the issue so he needed to face this with her.Love it and would recommend this. Safe read. Hero was loyal. He was @ss at times, and definably man-whore, but heroine met him at good time when he was trying to mend his ways. Heroine is naive but hero does well by her. I will not call it a light read since some may get upset with hero or heroine, I didn't. Thought they complimented each other. She loosens up and he mellows down. They balanced each other. There are no OW or OM. Explicit love scenes. Rate this book steamy. We get nice epilogue at the end to wrap it all up.

A lot of ang st thou gh with Jax just refus ing to com mit and caus ing unn ece ssa ry pain and co nfus ion to the lov ely if na ive Ha rper.

She came to his door in a snowstorm. He came to the mountain to get away from people. Yet he couldn't resist her. A quiet, shy, sheltered woman. Some man dumped her just before their wedding and she needed to get away from the humiliation.He'd been too long without a woman but his actions with the wrong woman changed his life. Harper changed his feelings. A night with her changed his life even though she left and he didn't even know her last name.Will they have a chance to meet in the middle of their so different lives? A super steamy romance--enjoy.

The characters were a little unfleshed and the constant, dramatic shifts in action were frustrating. There was no consistency to the internal monologues of the characters; no change of thought, but really sudden, inexplicable shifts in behavior. They kept talking about how they needed to get to know one another better, but then just didn’t; despite spending months together alone in a cabin. There were lots of dramatic moments with no build up or real resolution. I loved the story and the way it worked out, and it was actually a solid plot and the characters were good (if a little one-dimensional)… it just feels really incomplete with all the sudden shifts, and inexplicable “developments.” Also, there is a severe over use of the word “wood” which caused many eye rolls for me.

This book is good has a lot of excitement that you can not imagine. It was hard to put down.

This was my first read from this author and this is exactly what I expected.A grumpy mountain man, and a sheltered, naive young woman. It's not exactly an insta-love, but it is insta-chemistry and steamy times. I wasn't a fan of the entire storyline, and had issues with some of the situations, but overall, Harper and Jaxon are an okay match.Some of the writing was chunky and basic, and the "I need you now" stuff got a little over done for my liking, but this is certainly easy to read and enjoy. But, I'm one and done.

Loved the Timber book. Now I gotta get the rest. I'm hooked. Thank you Frankie Love for a good series.

What will happen when they meet up? Will it be bad or good? All I know is that this book is top notch and extremely hot. If you don’t read this book there is something wrong with you.

Quick, cute read with a HEA and multiple babies!I bought on Audible, and there was an element of dual narration though not 100% it, bit confusing but a good blend of the voices.A lot of angst though with Jax just refusing to commit, and causing unnecessary pain and confusion to the lovely, if naive Harper. Hence the four not five star review - I liked most of the story, just the reluctance bit annoyed me as it just kept on and on and on.Otherwise SMUTty delicious scenes throughout, and unique memorable characters.Went straight onto the next book - Bucked - and that is a 5*, love love love Buck and his giant <3

Ok so I really liked the story in this book, and in this day and age I can see how Jax meets Harper could happen. This book has some serious issues in it, regarding family and how their control can dictate lives, but also has some very open language toward sex. If you’re not into very explicit sex and lots of it then I wouldn’t suggest this book. I liked Harper’s character although I kind of wished she’d been firmer with her family. Jaxon is typical womaniser but soon realises the error of his ways. Nice story and plot, characters are good, very graphic sex scenes, nice scenery, some angst but a HEA.

Harper runs away to her uncles cabin to get away from everyone. He fiancé ditches her a week before there wedding telling her god told him to. On the way to the cabin she gets lost and then her car gets stuck in the snow. She sees smoke in the distance coming out of a chimney. On reaching the house she finds Jaxon. They spend one night together before Luke he ex turns up to get her and take her home where her family ignore her. Then she finds out she’s pregnant. She can’t tell her family so goes back to tell Jaxon or Jax as he is called. She goes back home again. She can’t stay as she is starting to show and her parents will not forgive her. So once again ends up at Jax’s. I’ll leave you to read the rest

Interesting story about a sheltered girl who grows up in strict religious home (father is a preacher) and her life falls apart when her fiance dumps her a couple of weeks before the wedding. So she runs off for some space and gets caught in a snow storm. She gets rescued from the snow and freezing temperatures and once in the cabin becomes a completely different person - she basically throws herself at the stranger and they have a wild night together.But reality comes crashing down the next day and she goes home when her ex-fiance turns up looking for her. The family ostracize her as punishment for no longer being a virgin so she is alone in everything at home - even alone when she starts to experience morning sickness so she doesn't know that's what it is.Once she goes to the Dr's she goes back to the cabin but realises it won't work with them as she wants a family committment and he doesn't. but she comes back a few weeks later when she finds out she is pregnant with triplets! They start living together and she settles into being a homemaker.But her parents still dont know anything about the pregnancy and its when she goes to visit them and tell them, that she has an accident and has to be taken to hospital. Reality crashes in, and her family completely disown her and her bastard babies. She even thinks the baby-daddy has walked but infact he's gone to a jewellery store top put a ring on it :-)
