Pine Ridge - Book Five

Review

Let me tell you, if I saw Nate walking down the street, I’d probably crash my car too! I like me some Viking genes.

This is one pretty adorable story, where our sweet Nate finally finds someone who thinks he’s unforgettable.

Elias comes to town to make things right with his cousin Carter. He’s a bit adrift in life but he doesn’t expect a new start in Pineridge.

Nate is an absolute sweetheart who feels invisible, but Elias is different. They don’t just have great chemistry, Elias makes him feel important and loved, and boy does he deserve that.

Elias in turn finds a home. It’s not something he’s felt in a very long time, and I loved that for him.

It’s also got a pretty cute epilogue to wrap it all up.

Synopsis

Elias

My life is a shambles. My long-term relationship just ended, I left the Air Force, I’ve been crashing on my buddy’s couch for the last three months, and now… I’ve lost the one person I loved more than any other. The only sense of direction I’m able to find is a wedding invitation from the cousin I haven’t seen in over sixteen years. I’ve nothing left to uproot, but will traveling to some place I’ve never heard of, to reconnect with the only relative I’ve got left that I give a damn about, be the answer to what’s next in my life? Will Pine Ridge, Wisconsin be the place where I find myself again?

Nate

I’ve spent the entirety of my life being overlooked, forgotten… invisible. You’d think a six-and-a-half-foot man wouldn’t go through life so unnoticed, but that seems to be my fate. All I want is for someone to finally see me, to want to get to know me, to not move on to someone more interesting. But I never would’ve anticipated that I’d be on my way to a friend’s wedding when someone finally does see me; so much so, he almost hits me with his car. But will Elias’ attention stay fixed on me or will he, like everyone else does, wind up forgetting I even exist?

About Shae Michaels

Shae lives in Wisconsin with her family and a cat named Stanley who tolerates them. She enjoys reading, of course, hockey, American football, listening to music, and whiling away time on the internet on social media or doing random searches for images of hot guys when she's supposed to be doing other things, like writing or cleaning.

Her books are full of slow-burn but high-heat romance, with a HEA and plenty of interesting characters and humour.
