Rocky Mountain Heat is the first book in the Six Pack Ranch series following the Coleman siblings and cousins.
About Rocky Mountain Heat
Rocky Mountain Heat follows Blake Coleman, the eldest of Mike and Marian Coleman’s six sons. Yes, that is right. Six boys, no girls. Marian should be granted sainthood, especially after everything the boys have put her through over the years.
Jaxi set her eyes on Blake many years ago, and has done everything possible to win him over. But he is set on the fact that he is too old for her. So when Marian is injured and needs help, Jaxi moves in to the Coleman house to help with everything Marian usually does. She is out to prove to Blake she is a perfect to be a rancher’s wife.
Throughout the book, Blake learns new things about Jaxi from various members of his family, including all of his brothers and his dad.
When Mike and Marian are injured, Blake and Jaxi take over the reins of the ranch. With guidance from his father, he manages his brothers chore schedules and everything gets done. Jaxi now has two patients, in addition to managing the home and Marian’s other chores. All the while trying to convince Blake they are meant to be.
When Blake takes a step back and tells Jaxi they have done things backwards and he decides to right that wrong, she is confused. He plans dates for them, which are unwittingly chaperoned by one or more of his brothers.
When there is a confrontation between brothers about Jaxi and who she has chosen, you can’t help but feel bad for the two that were not chosen. However, the fact they warn Blake what will happen if he breaks her heart is heartwarming. They treat Jaxi like family already, even though they are all in love with her.
Impressions
I found this story endearing. Jaxi has been in love with Blake for so long and he has never really paid attention to her. I love that she talked with Mike about what classes she should take to be a rancher’s wife. She knows what she wants and now she just needs the tools to get it. I felt like Mike and Marian have always known that Jaxi would marry Blake, but they just have to wait for him to get his head out of his booty.
Narration
As in other series by author Vivian Arend, Tatiana Sokolov narrates this book. In every book I listen to by her, I find more and more I enjoy about her voice. This thing that hit me in this book, was how good her male character voice is. She really has a good range, which makes the story come to life.
