Look, I'm not the sort of person who believes in love at first sight, but I do believe that an instant attraction can be the foundation for a relationship. Boom could be seen as love at first sight or insta-love. I think it was more about two people attracted to each other's looks first, then seeing beneath the surface and finding them even more appealing on the inside.
Quinn, sees a beautiful, tall redhead and it's the first time in two years that he is seriously drawn to a woman. When she then makes him laugh, he thinks he's found his perfect woman. Quinn has had a ROUGH two years. He decided to step away from the family business and that decision cost him his family and his girlfriend. Determined to still go ahead with his plans, he works his butt off making his dreams a reality. When he meets Mia and gets to know her, he decides that her brand of loyalty and devotion is what he wants for himself...he just has to convince her.
Mia was making the journey from Chicago to Seattle to confront her fiance and find out where they are at with their relationship. Her plane has to make an emergency landing when bad weather nearly causes them to crash. After a very stressful and dangerous landing, the passengers find out they're stuck in Montana. For Mia, the situation goes from bad to worse and she gets separated from the other passengers. Luckily, she gets separated and left with the sexy resort owner who's willing to take her in and let her stay with him. She's attracted to Quinn, but she's engaged. Unfortunately, Mia is the only one who thinks she's engaged.
With the two of them being forced to spend their time together, they learn more about each other and the situations that have lead them to where they are now. Mia and Quinn must work through some of their issues before they can even think of having a relationship, but Quinn is determined to keep his prize that fell from the sky into his lap.
Boom was a story that I could sit back and just enjoy. It hit my radar because it was mentioned as being similar to a Kristen Ashley story, which was a big draw card. Yes, I could see some similarities, but there were enough differences to not be a duplicate. I like to read a story where the hero only sees the heroine. Boom was pretty low in angst too, which was a positive. The hero was a bossy Alpha and the heroine was intelligent and well spoken. The sexy times were steamy, frequent and not over the top. Basically, Boom was a great light hearted romance that left a smile on my face. It was exactly what I needed.
I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
