"For Ronan Mitchell, the moodiest of the five famous Mitchell brothers, being stranded for days with his perky studio manager is a fate worse than death--until she forces the brooding artist to see what he's been missing all these years."--
Natalie Kaleta will do anything for the artists at her gallery. Braving a downpour to check on reclusive Ronan Mitchell, Natalie gets stranded by a mudslide at his mountain home. The brooding glass artist reveals his playful side, sending her inconvenient crush from under-the-radar to over-the-top. Ronan fled his hometown after a secret tore his family apart, and he won't give in to his attraction for Natalie. She's untouched by darkness-- or so he thinks. Can Natalie show Ronan that when a heart goes through the flame, it comes out stronger? -- adapted from jacket.
I randomly selected this audiobook from the library in order to complete my January keyword challenge, but dare I say, I think I want to read the other books in the series.
I love companions series featuring siblings, and this family had some serious complications to work though. Ronan was the one most affected by the big family secret. He was isolating himself, and then Natalie came along and made him want more.
These two were cute together. I liked the way they interacted, and how they broke down the walls each had erected to protect themselves.
I didn't know anything about this series, but not only do we have a brood of strapping brothers, we also have a family with many resident artists. I really enjoyed the artistic bits that were sprinkled in there, and found it to be something I have yet to really encounter in a contemporary romance series.
It was a pleasure watching Natalie and Ronan's romance unfold, and I look forward to reading backwards to see how his brothers found their HEA.
