  I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
  
  Luna is sat in a bar on the outskirts of town wondering where she is going to sleep that he and what she is going to do now her mum has decided she needs to leave. They have never had a great relationship and the rotating door of men haven’t helped. At twenty three she has yet to discover sex, she was saving herself for the one. And that’s when Hunter walks in to the bar, she’s never been attracted to anyone before and suddenly she has urgent feelings for this stranger. It’s not until the next morning that she realises who he is, she’s been trying to get in contact with him to see if he would be willing to let her use his honey in her own beer, things change quickly and she finds herself being sent packing. Hunter doesn’t stay gone for long, will he let her explain her question or has their time been and gone?
  
  Hunter had a life years ago that was perfect, women at the drop of a hat and more money than he could possibly spend. Everything changed for him after his face ends up scarred, he soon realises who his true friends are and that the women who had hung off his every word previously weren’t there for him but his money and he had no intention of being anyone’s meal ticket. Escaping that life and starting another is how he finds himself living in a secluded log cabin hidden in the woods. He hardly ever ventures into town but when he arrived at the bar his attention is immediately caught on the shy beauty sat at the bar. He’s hooked on her straight away and can’t believe he’s found the woman of his dreams. Well that is until he gets hold of the wrong end of the stick and casts her aside like last night fish and chip paper. When he recognises he made a mistake can he get Luna to agree to a second chance or has she given up on him already?
  
  Hunter is a complex character with a lot of angst and dealing with his past is always at the front of his mind, he believes no one could want him now. Luna is a sad character but positive in what she wants. But these two move at Walt spends and things get muddled. Good story that reads well and of course there is some steam. It’s safe and short enough for a lunchtime read. 4*

Then came the car accident where Hunter ended up with a big scar on his face. He thought his luck with the ladies would be over but he discovered there were still women who wanted him. Hunter was disgusted because he knew they just want is his money. Hunter decided to go far away and live off the grid as a recluse. He was happy on his own except for his job but he sometimes got lonely. One night he went to a bar and met Luna there. She was sad and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He and Luna had a great time talking and flirting. The didn't want the night to end so Luna went ot his cabin and they had a very passionate night.

  This is the fourth book in the Journey's Close, Alaska series. It reads well as a standalone. I haven't read the first three books and was able to enjoy this one. I'm definitely going back to read the other books. This book has alternating first person POV’s and is a steamy, quick read. Luna and Hunter are drawn to each other from the very first moment they met, but a misunderstanding may end their relationship before it really gets started. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

  Very sweet story.
  
  The men of Journey's Close are dreamy heroes...sensitive, loving, and kind.
  
  
  The epilogue was weird though. What the hell?

  Grumpy man meets sweetheart
  
  Probably my second favorite of the seriies (#3 was my fav), this was a sweet read. Sure, there were issues, but every book needs a few. I liked the insta-love but delayed gratifiation of the story. I also loved that, like the previous books, there are hints of stories to come, and especially like that it's not necessarily a setup for the next book.

  There was Phantom of the Opera reference and nothing more could make me love it more. We have a very emotional guy WHO GETS HIS HEARTBROKEN AND WORKS WITH BEE'S. We love him so much and someone who really just wants to look beyond the flaws and just fall for him.
  
  My favorite out of the Journey's Close men.
