Synopsis

46-year-old Ashley Cooke will do just about anything to save her struggling ski hill. When she hires the men from a local sober living home for the season to cut costs, even she thinks shes gone too far. With her credit cards maxed, her cheating ex-husband intent on buying the mountain out from under her, and record-breaking snow in the forecast, she cant afford to be distracted by the six-foot-tall bearded and tattooed sober-living-home owner moving onto her mountain. 53-year-old recovering addict and ex-grunge rocker Matthew Madigan has devoted every minute of the last decade to the men residing at his sober-living home. When he meets tightly wound and adorably flustered Ashley, desires hes put on the back burner for years start to simmer. Immune to his infamous, albeit rusty charm, Ashley presents a challenge he cant resist. When she offers to give him skiing lessons in exchange for his help training her St. Bernard rescue dog, he jumps at the chance to ride next to her on the chairlift despite his debilitating fear of heights. During bunny hill shenanigans, chairlift confessions, and steamy cabin serenades, Madigan teaches Ashley that a persons past doesnt define them, and Ashley shows Madigan that the men he helps arent the only people who deserve a second chance. When sabotage threatens both the men and the mountain, Ashley and Madigan will have to decide if theyre only having a winter fling or if the mountain isnt the only thing worth fighting for.

4.5 stars rounded up for all the feelings Come as You Are is a romance with somewhat older than typical main characters (the h is 46 and the H is 53). More importantly though, it's a romance that focuses on character development, growth, redemption, and emotional elements I can't put into words. This......more
