Rocky Mountain Devil - Six Pack Ranch Book 10 - by Vivian Arend
Rating 4/5 stars
Heat 7/10 - sex is explicit and erotic but it is not a large part of the story. Much less than her other books.
Style - contemporary western
Although part of a series, this book stands well on it's own. Other couples from previous books are part of the story, but you don't need to know their history.
Rafe and Laurel met in kindergarten. They were best friends all the way to grade 12. Rafe dated other girls. Laurel was a preacher's daughter and not allowed to date. On prom night he drives her home and sexual attraction blooms. Laural is going away on a mission and then to bible college. Rafe is staying to work the ranch. They make a pact with each other. Do not wait, live life to the fullest, but, if they are both single when Laurel returns, then they'll date each other and see what happens.
Fast forward to today (three years later) and Laurel is back. The attraction is still there and they start to date. There is an OM in the picture. Stuff is going on with Rafe's family. But Laural and Rafe find a way forward.
I loved the chemistry between these two. It was such a sweetly romantic relationship, yet hot when appropriate. My only complaint was that they were, for my personal preference, too young. I prefer to read about people in their mid to late twenties (at the youngest).
This was not a complicated plot. It was more about friendship building into something else and, of course they each had some emotional stuff of their own to work through.
