Ina had a rough year and in an effort to forget her troubles and think about where to go now in her life, she decides to rent a secluded cabin in the woods.  A chance to reflect on her relationship with her cheating boyfriend and her rough year at school.Immediately upon her arrival she meets the hot sexy mountain man, Adam.  She's cautious at first, being by herself and not knowing him, she keeps to herself.  But once something spooks her and certain things start to happen that make her feel a bit unsafe, she finds herself getting closer and closer to Adam.Adam has had a rough past, lost people close to him and has found his solice out in the mountains all alone.  That is until he meets Ina, who stirs emotions in him.  He confides in her, he helps her feel safe, believe in herself and encourages her.Their connection is strong and as things their relationship starts to go from just platonic to more, curve balls are thrown in to the mix, from ex boyfriends randomly showing up to actual crazy mountain men on the lose.  Adam and Ina have to figure out what they both want and what they are willing to do to get it.I liked Ina a lot.  She was a bit lost and wanted trying to find out where her life was going and in comes this hot sexy strong rugged man to help her figure it all out.Adam I really loved at the beginning.  As you learn more about him, you actually learn how vulnerable he is and I felt kind of bad for him.  I think I wanted him to be a bit more Alpha male, so some of the things he said just didn't sit right with me.  He was a little too soft in some parts for my liking.The story itself I enjoyed, was original and very well written.  There was one scene with Ina's ex boyfriend that seemed to drag out for me a bit and that bothered me.  And I felt like the relationship between Adam and Ina could have maybe been, I guess you could say a bit more "hot and heavy".You get your HEA in the end but there's some drama and suspense along the way.  It's really about two people getting a second chance at love, and finding it in an unexpected place when they both lease expect it.I received an arc of the book from Netgalley and I was pretty impressed, especially as this was the authors first novel.  I will definitely look for more from the author in the future.
