Blurb:
Olivia Darling is her own woman—self-sufficient, intelligent, and wise to the ways of the world. She’s also beautiful enough to rile other women and garner unwanted attention from men, which could bring more danger down on her than living the outlaw life she’s taken to. Headed home to Colorado, she’s ready to put her past behind her—but what kind of reception will she get?
Kit Traver is headed home to Colorado, giving up his law practice back East to return to the place he loves—and the woman he intends to marry. His life neatly planned, this journey will give him the time he needs to be alone with nature before he takes on the responsibilities of practicing law again and being a married man.
When Kit and Olivia meet in Denver, it’s not the best first impression—for either of them. But, they are traveling the same trail, so it’s only natural they ride along together. It’s obvious to Kit that Olivia needs his protection—if only from herself!
But traveling together ignites a fire between them that can’t be ignored, especially once they arrive, only to discover that everything has changed while they’ve been away. With her father mysteriously murdered, Olivia has her hands full trying to keep the big ranchers from pushing her off her family’s small spread. Can Olivia and Kit make a home together? Will Kit walk away from his socialite family for the love of HIS UNEXPECTED COMPANION?
My review:
Cute and sweet, His Unexpected Companion gives a reader a charming little adventure and happily ever after story.
Olivia was a surprising delight with her confidence and attitude. She knew who she was and what she wanted and owned it. I enjoyed watching her and Kit figure each other out, teasing and playing and challenging the other. Kit wasn't a slouch, but he was definitely hooked deep and quickly by Olivia. He had this sense of being lost, like trying to find his footing, and Olivia was the perfect distraction to keep throwing him off, but yet also became the guiding star he needed.
If you're looking for a easy light read with just enough drama to keep things interesting, a strong heroine, and a passel of fun, try this one out! It's sure to bring smiles and a happy sigh at the end.

Thanks again, Michelle for all you do for us authors at PRP! You do such a great job of encapsulating stories and characters. When I wrote this one I was in the mood for a light read with fun characters, and I did enjoy toying with Kit. Little did I know that when His Unexpected Companion was released it would be during a time folks needed a quick escape. Nobody gets hurt (at least not on the written page). Just an unlikely pair thrown together and forced to spend time together only to discover they are exactly what they needed to live their best lives.
ReplyDeleteYES!! That's exactly what I thought! This is perfect timing for now - when we're all looking for an escape and are needing something easy and lighthearted! You totally succeeded there!
DeleteThat was such a good book. Great review, Michelle. I loved the fact that Olivia seemed more sure of herself than Kit did, but she gave him what he needed to realize his place in the world was not what he'd always believed it to be. Wonderful, fun story!
ReplyDeleteI loved how he was already on the path of figuring out what he really wanted out of live and Olivia was there to make him think and adjust course all the more!
