Mountain Daddy
by Tilly, S.J.
Mountain Daddy is the kind of book you pick up when you want to be completely consumed by a rugged, isolated setting and a hero who is as intense as the landscape he calls home. It leans hard into the forced proximity trope, using the setting to strip away the outside world until all that remains is the friction and growing attraction between the two leads. The pacing is a delicious slow burn, focusing on the small, intimate moments that turn into a full-blown, passionate connection. It feels cozy and grounded despite the heat, anchored by a sense of found family that makes the stakes feel deeply personal. If you appreciate a protective, grumpy hero who eventually lets his guard down for the right person, this book will be right up your alley.
