Closer to You is the first title in the Haven Montana series. This is a small town romance, full of twists and turns, mystery and intrigue.
The McGowan family recently lost the patriarch of the family and he left his company to his three sons Tyler, Trent and Trey to run.
Tyler's life changed when his father passed away and he adapted into his new role running the family's company, that others are determined to purchase. He's strong, sexy and charming.
Kristin Howell is a female in a man's world. She's determined, focused, hardworking, sassy and sexy. She comes across like a fish out of water in her designer clothing in rural Montana.
Although the sparks fly between this pair, they constantly fight their mutual attraction, which results in a build up of sexual tension, and a slow burn romance. I honestly found the love scenes to be missing heat.
I enjoyed the dialogue and banter between the characters that was fun and flirty.
I will be looking forward to Trent and Trey's books in the coming year.
