Colby:

Sometimes family is more than blood. We were foster kids just trying to survive, seven boys on the run who became brothers. Through everything, we stuck together, with me as the unofficial leader, and thought nothing could ever change that. But what happens when it’s time to grow up and move on? When you find that one woman that could change everything, that could become your everything. Will she make me choose between a life without her or a life without them? Family is supposed to be forever but will one decision tear us apart?

Maya:

Required office team-building retreat in the woods. Everyone’s favorite thing right? Add in a handsy boss obsessed with staking his claim on me, a friend set on running interference, and no way out, and you have a recipe for the week of my nightmares. Then the hot mountain man of my dreams, and owner of the resort, steps in to save the day. He steals me away and shows me everything I’ve been missing. But how long can it last? I’m here for a week, I can’t leave my whole life behind for a guy I’ve only known for a week. Or can I?

May be spoilers:

I kind of started this series out of order, but I think each can be read as a standalone, but would probably be best reading in order. 

Colby is part of the Outdoor Alphas series. It has 7 chapters with an epilogue and is about Maya and Colby. 

I love that we get the past in the prologue for the brothers. 

Colby has been taking care of his brothers since he was 12. They’ve become a family and built the retreat. 

Maya’s boss has planned for his employees to spend some time at the resort. He wants Maya and doesn’t hide it. 

Definite instalove/connection when they meet. 

Dual virgins. 

Good read.

There is a part that isn’t finished.

No cheating, no ow drama, om-her boss, one week separation. 

Epilogue is a set up for the next story. Do wish we could see further out. 

I gave it ★★★☆☆½ . Have you read it? What did you think?
