~**~ ARC Review: Rushed (Adventures In Love #1) by Aurora Rose Reynolds ~**~


***5 Stars***

I picked this one up because it had been awhile since I read anything by this author and it simply sounded like a fun read and I gotta say, I absolutely enjoyed this baby. It was a fun, quick read that was low on angst, but had just enough drama to keep things interesting and a whole slew of characters I ended up loving and wanting to know more about.

I adored Cybil and Tanner. Tanner is just a really good guy. Charming, protective and just an all around sweetheart. Cybil may be the queen of bad timing, but once she makes her mind up, she sticks with it. She’s sweet, sassy and just an all around good person.

Their journey to their HEA is that mix of instant attraction and slow burn ~ or slowish considering how things played out for them, but it all worked for me. Their initial collision may not have been all that cute, but as they spend more time together it’s obvious that there is a spark. I loved their flow, bantering and how open they were with each other. They have a few obstacles to overcome, but they do it together and I loved how everything worked out in the end.

This was a great start to a new series. As I said, the angst was on the low end, though there was some drama throughout to keep things interesting and for the most part had all things pertaining to Cybil and Tanner resolved ~ though there is one issue I would have liked to see dealt with, but understand why it wasn’t ~ and a bunch of characters I definitely want more of. I loved Mav and Jade, Janet and Dave were awesome and Margaret and Mason are ones I’m looking forward to hanging out with more. Blake…well, I wanted to Gibbs Smack him numerous times but am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I see what makes the man tick!

Cybil is the queen of bad timing. First, her fiancé breaks up with her days before their wedding. Next, she’s stuck going on a couples retreat in the Montana wilderness alone. And worst of all, now she’s fighting a growing attraction to the wilderness retreat’s rugged owner, Tanner.

Tanner has built his wilderness adventure service on a few key principles: never take unnecessary risks, never put anyone’s life in danger—and never, ever sleep with a client. The arrival of a beautiful new visitor, however, might mean bending the rules.

Two people looking for anything but romance may have just bumped into their soul mates. In the Montana wilds, any misstep can spell danger. Cybil and Tanner just have to decide if they’re brave enough to face their next adventure.

Release Date: November 30th, 2021
