Closer to You is not only a romance, but a mystery as well. Kristin and Tyler began as adversaries, bur came to care foe one another as they became better acquainted. Parts of the mystery appear to have been solved, while other questions remain unresolved. I look forward to the next book in the series for the resolution!

What a fabulous book! The McGowan family are close knit, especially now that their father passed away and left them to run the family business. Tyler wasn't happy with that at first, but the three brothers are settling into their different roles. It hadn't been easy picking up the reins of the company, and it hadn't been doing too well, but that was beginning to change.

Kristen Howell had been working for JB Holding for a few years, and was quite happily climbing the corporate ladder with all her hard work. She couldn't believe it that she was being sent to the back of beyond with the instruction that she must get McGowan Enterprises to sell - and she had to stay there until she did, her progression within JB depended on it. How hard could it be? This is what she was good at.

What Kristen hadn't bargained for was a family as determined not to sell, as she was determined to try. It was not even a consideration in the eyes of the McGowans, no matter how hard she tried and no amount of money JB offered. There had to be more to this than meets the eye.

Two fabulous strong characters, in different ways to each other. A good mystery running through the story which keeps you guessing to nearly the very end.

What a fantastic start to a new series. I'm in love with the HOT McGowan brothers!!!

A wonderful small Montana town and a close knit family and family business. At first you won't think that Jimmy Choo wearing city girl Kristin and hot country boy Tyler would be any match but sparks fly between them and they can't resist the chemistry. Both are torn at the start between keeping it business and about acting on the sexual tension.

The sex scenes were well done and just the right amount to not take away from the story but add to it instead. I also enjoyed the mystery and suspense to the storyline that had me keep turning the pages until the end.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next instalment.

Finally, I book I really really really liked!

This is the kind of romance i enjoy. Strong characters, some action, a little bit of drama, close family and a plot well put together. This is a book that you can't put down. It draws you in, pulls all your attention and you have to turn page after page, after page....

I would have rated it with 5* if Tyler would have been a true alpha and if there was more smut, but then maybe the story is perfect just the way it is.

I highly recommend it to all romance addicts, like myself. :)

Tyler McGowan has taken over the family oil company. After missing a big meeting and almost losing a big deal he realizes he has to buckle down if he wants to keep the company alive. Kristen Howell is sent to town by a holding company with the job of convincing Tyler and his family to seek their company. The family is not interested in selling but the company Kristen works for is willing to use any means to convince them. When Kristen tries to get answers why they want the company so badly she is told she knows what she needs to do the job.

I liked the McGowan family. The interaction between the brothers was fun to watch. Their Mother was treated with respect and was no pushover, she definitely knew what she wanted. I was rooting for Tyler and Kristen to get together. They came from very different worlds but there are definitely sparks. There was an issue at the end of the book that was left unresolved, which I didn't like. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I love how Kristen handles finding out she's being used as a pawn. She's like a dog going after a bone until she gets the answers that she's looking for. I was also a little surprised that Tyler trusted her as quickly as he did. He must be a good judge of character.
