Claiming His Girl is the first installment in Stella Banks’ Fit Mountain Instalove series. In it, she chronicles the romantic journey of Molly Mathews and Chase Andrews. She is a physical therapist who takes over her father’s practice when he retires. Chase is muscular and grumpy, and one of four Andrew brothers. Due to injury received will on active duty, Chase needs therapy. When they finally meet, sparks fly. Will these two act on their feelings? To find out, you must read this book.
This is the first-time reading Ms. Bank’s work. She does a remarkable job with literary devices. Her characters are strong, independent, yet vulnerable. This character-driven plot moves at a steady pace. The dialog, both conversational and internal monologues allow readers to get an in-depth understanding of the lead characters. The camaraderie amongst the Andrew brothers, especially their banter, is enjoyable. Ms. Banks paints vivid scenes that pull readers into each scene. Nicely done, Ms. Banks.
