Abandoned on his Mountain by Dani Wyatt

Abandoned on his Mountain might be my favorite book in the Palate Teasers series by Dani Wyatt, which can all be read as a standalone. Marin and Davis were well-rounded characters and they had a sense a humor to them that I thought was completely relatable. In addition to their interesting quirks and secrets, these two had incredible sexual chemistry with each other. I was surprised by their first meeting and how quickly it derailed into a passionate scene that left both characters addicted and breathless. It was love at first sight for Davis and he fell hard for Marin the moment he set his eyes on her. I thought the setup was quite interesting because Marin came from a highly religious family and because she was born out of wedlock, her grandfather raised her as the embodiment of sin. His attempt at abandoning her at Carson Mountain to humble her would lay the foundations to Marin meeting her savior and love of her life.

"I know I want this. Him. And what his dark and dangerous self promises to give me."

In the end, this was such an enjoyable and steamy read between two likeable characters that were always meant for each other. Davis was a good man who would do anything to protect his loved ones. I was completely charmed by his younger brother, Stevie, and his relationship with Davis and Marin. Although Davis kept secrets from Marin, he was afraid that she would run away from him after finding out the truth. Never did he think that she would not only accept him but come to understand the man he always tried to be. Overall, this was such a charming love story and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quick read with engaging characters and lots of spice.
