I was a compass, and she was north. I was powerless to fight whatever this was between us.
Did you know that Rebecca Yarros wrote a new trilogy with 2 other authors? It's true! Madigan Mountain is the series. Devney Perry and Sarina Bowen have also written books in this setting, with each author taking one of the Madigan brothers as their main character. Rebecca Yarros wrote the story of Weston Madigan.
Weston Madigan left this small ski town years ago. He was grieving, he was angry, and he needed out. The military offered him just that. An escape, a job, and the ability to learn to fly. Right before Weston left town though, he hired a photographer for Madigan Mountain. She was younger, pregnant, and in need of this opportunity. He never thought he'd see her again. Especially since he had no plans on returning home. All that changed with a single phone call from Reed.
Can the anger, the hurt, the heartache be pushed aside? Can Weston return home and move forward with his life?

My rating for A Little Too Close:
I could not put this book down. Weston drew me in with his closed off ways and family drama. It was more than that though. I could see the man he truly was underneath that rough exterior, and just knew that this man was hurting from childhood trauma.
While his return to Madigan Mountain wasn't something he truly wanted, it all worked out in the end. He was able to still pursue his passions, have his support system close by, and finally let those brick walls begin to crack.
That meet cute with Callie? LOVED IT. I wasn't certain how Rebecca Yarros was going to write it, but this was perfection.
Speaking of Callie, she impressed me. Once her story was fully revealed, my heart just went out to her. This woman has been through the ringer, and has finally found the people who can be her support system. They can walk through the highs and lows with her. Then there is that wonderful child of hers, and it just goes to show what a phenomenal mom she is. She tries her best, and always wants to put Sutton first. Even if that means her dreams get put on hold.
Watching that attraction build, and wondering"will they or won't they" just made the book all that more difficult to put down. Then of course Sutton comes in, and drops that little tidbit to them both. That had me chuckling.
The relationship Weston had with his big brother, and his dad, though? UH. My heart. Those scenes hit a little hard. The anger and heartache just poured off those pages during those scenes. When Callie said what she did to Weston, and it changed his perspective a bit, that too was eye opening. Still an emotional scene and storyline, but that new perspective helped.
The conflict...I couldn't pinpoint what it was going to be until it actually happened. At that point my heart hurt for the characters, and I could not wait to see how this was all going to be resolved. I was also a bit worried because I'm still not over what happened in The Last Letter, and I was honestly a bit nervous that would happen here. If you know, you know.
I absolutely loved A Little Too Close, and really need to read the other two in the series. Thankfully they are both waiting for me on my kindle. Or rather A Little Too Late is on my kindle, and A Little Too Wild will be there this weekend.

Curious about the tropes in A Little Too Close? You'll get Forced Proximity, Former Military, Sports Romance, Single Mom, and Small Town Romance. So many good ones.
If you are a fan of Rebecca Yarros, Sarina Bowen, and/or Devney Perry, then you need to check out this trilogy. It will be worth it, I promise.
Happy Reading,

Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit.
Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two.
The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes. Cue inconvenient heart flip.
This is only temporary.
I can’t fall for Weston.
I. Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston.
But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.
