How do you know whether you can trust someone?
Maggie Washington is used to relying on herself. Growing up in Iowa, her wild curls and parents who dumped her on her grandmother made it so she’s never fit in. Skeptical of other people’s motives, she’s always been the fling or the friend. Looking to define her life after college, she’s thrilled when she scores a choice summer job working in Yosemite National Park restoring habitat.
Court Thompson is a gorgeous (and bearded) forest ranger with a love-em and leave-em reputation. When he shows interest in her, she’s torn. Even though she’s flattered by his attention, she doubts his sincerity—and her ability to get out of the friend-zone.
Will Court be able to coax Maggie into trusting him that he’s for real? Or after the summer of s’mores and skinny dipping, will he let her down like everybody else?

My only regret about this novella is that it isn’t a full length novel. I could have read about Court and Maggie for many more chapters. This book was perfect. It was short, sweet, and had everything I expected. As someone who loves the great outdoors and all things rugged men, I was captivated. Court was the perfect embodiment of what my perfect rugged man would be like. He is strong, centered, and masculine. A bearded man the girls cannot help but swoon for.
The chemistry between Court and Maggie is like a wildfire. I loved that they had that spark and it grew quickly into an all-consuming raging fire. Their moments range from sweet and touching to downright sexy. The summer flies by and they fall deep for one another. Despite the quick tempo, you feel the way that they are enamored with one another. I would have loved so much more in this book, but alas novellas do not give you as much as you always want!
Maggie was a great heroine. Her life is at a crossroads and she has the world before her. Decisions are hard and she is not immune from the struggle. Watching her learn who she is and to be herself unapologetically was a heartfelt touch to the story. Her relationship with Court helped to ground her in life, giving her confidence to find who she was and what she wanted.
Leslie McAdam, you need to write more about these two, or at least more mountain men! I would just devour those books! Lumbersexual was a perfect novella filled with romance, adventure, and new experiences. One that left me with a dreamy smile on my face for hours after I finished it.

Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement (that’s what editors are for!). Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
