Rocky Mountain Heat by Vivian Arend

2.0

---

Some of the sex scenes were kinda hot? But mostly I was confused by the book's lopsided emotional arc and underdeveloped plot.

Blake's decision to stop having sex and just date for a bit felt contrived. "Oh, I want to go back to the sexual tension. Here, let's just decide that you can't take long walks with someone and also have sex with them that night!"

I was also pretty appalled at the Coleman brothers' blatant sexual comments toward Jaxi after she'd "made her choice." The number of close family relations (literally or allegedly) sharing sexual partners—like, at the same time—was also squicky. I gotta stop announcing that "the book I just started is so good!" because I always end up not liking it much.
