BOOKWORM REVIEW: Only A Crush by Delancey Stewart



RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥

Mateo has a problem, and his problem is in a form of a smart, blonde bombshell. Annalee has been temptation personified, and the last thing he needs is to be trekking up the Colorado mountains to check out cabins with the flirtatious woman alone. To add to his problem, an unexpected snowstorm traps them in the cabin for a couple of days. Can he handle keeping things professional between the two of them, or will he give in to the dirty thoughts that have been plaguing his mind since they met?

I enjoyed this read. Mateo and Annalee had great chemistry even as they were doing everything they can to fight a happily ever after together. I admire Mateo's determination to be a great father to his daughter Lily, and I liked that the book tackled the struggles of being a single father and losing his beloved early in life with realism and grace. I also love Annalee's resilience; her determination to become the person she wants to be is admirable. 

Their connection was palpable from the get-go and just built into a wonderful fire of sexy times. I also love that along the way, they developed a great emotional relationship.

This was my first book in this series, and it read well as a standalone. There are references to events and characters in Book 1, but Delancey Stewart did a great job in providing enough context. 

If you like a great read with a sexy one-bed trope, this is definitely a candidate for your TBR.

ABOUT THE BOOK

I'm the girl who defies expectations. The girl who'll never stay inside that box you think will fit me.

And right now? I'm the girl working as event planner at my Navy pal's mountain resort. We flew together in the Navy, and it feels right to be back with my squadron mates when they need help now.

But when I agreed to go check out some rustic backcountry cabins for the resort's opening event, I didn't plan on the so, so hot Mateo coming along with me. He's a contractor at the resort, and he has this whole grumpy single dad widower thing going on... But since he's got a kid, and family is the last thing I want, I'm staying far, far away.

Until we get stranded together in one of those cabins in a freak snowstorm.

And now? Staying away from him is the last thing I want to do. But he doesn't fit my life plans any more than I fit his.
It's a couple days (and insanely hot nights) in a cabin. Nothing else. I can do this. It's only a crush, after all.

A full length standalone happily ever after with a mystery that runs through the whole Kasper Ridge series from USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart.



MEET DELANCEY STEWART

Hi there!

I'm USA Today Bestselling author Delancey Stewart. My contemporary romances run the gamut of settings and setups, but they always deliver humor, heart and heat. It's a guarantee.

I write from my home near Denver, CO, where I manage a household full of boys and men. Okay, only one man. The hubs. But two boys. I mean, three if you count the hubs. (You see why I do words and not numbers. I was told there'd be no math in this bio. Someone lied.) There is also a dog named Charlie Taco.

I grew up in California and have had more jobs than anyone on earth (personal trainer, pharmaceutical rep, copywriter, tech writer, marketing director, wine seller, elementary school teacher... I'm not kidding. The list. It goes on.) But the one I love the most is writing, in part because I get to meet people who love books and stories as much as I do!
