About this item

One scarred veteran in search of peace and a new life on King Mountain + One curvy yoga instructor with a broken heart = An age-gap, opposites attract romance with all the feels!

People tell me I'm a hero. How am I the hero if I'm the only one who survived the IED?

My VA therapist says my stress levels are dangerously high. His suggestion? Yoga.

It sounds ridiculous, but I go. I want to dig myself out of the darkness. The class is as difficult as I imagined. What I didn't imagine was the strong, curvy woman instructor. I nearly fell a** over tea kettle when she bent over and I saw her luscious thick thighs and...more...when she bent into one of these ridiculous positions. There's a lot of positions I'd like to get into with her, that's for d*mn sure.

I'm warming to the idea of yoga, but to say I stick out like a sore thumb in her class is the understatement of the century. Private lessons seem like the best option, plus I get to spend more time with the curvy instructor who makes me believe there's a way out of the darkness.

I tell myself a woman like her could never love a scarred man like me, but every time we meet, the look in her eyes tells me differently. She has shadows in her past, too, but a voice deep inside me tells me she's The One and that I have to put everything on the line for her. I can't bear the thought of losing anyone ever again, but the thought of losing her to another man? That hurts worse than my scars. Now that I've found the woman who gives me hope, I'm never going to let her go.

Rugged Hero is book 4 in Heartland Heroes: The Men of King Mountain. If you like small-town and mountain man romance with a strong sense of community, featuring military veterans, blue collar alpha men, and the curvy women they can't live without, get ready for a series you'll fall in love with, because that's what you'll get with the men who live on King Mountain. Steamy HEAs guaranteed, no cheating, no ex-drama -- always just two people who can't resist each other forging a new and loving future together.

This book is incredible! Bridget is a yoga instructor and Moses works on a nearby mountain. His VA therapist recommended yoga to Moses in place of meditations for his PTSD. One look at his instructor and Moses is feelings things he thought he could ever feel. Right away when Bridget sees Moses in her class, she is smitten but cautious having come out of a relationship because he ex told her that she was too big and not skinny enough.
Both are vulnerable. Moses is scars all over his chest, abdomen and legs while Bridget still feels the sting from her ex. Moses decides to take a chance and be honest with Bridget.
There was some wonderful insight in this book. In their own ways, both Moses and Bridget are heroes.
Such a fantastic book!.

Delilah is the older sister of Daisy Delgado who we met in "His Untamed Craving" returns to Silverpine for her sister's wedding. She meets Stylz and a moment of wild weakness lights the fuse between these too. With Stylz being the best man and Delilah the maid of honor these two keep circling their feelings and the temptation for more. The tension is out of this world and you can literally feel the heat between them. The path is wild and reckless but so worth it. Could not put this down at all!

I enjoyed reading this book. Once I started reading Rugged Hero, I didn't want to put it down. The characters are great and the storyline hooked me from the start. I don't want to spoil this book for anyone so I won't go into details. Please read the book blurb for some information. I recommend reading this book.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024
Yoga instructor Bridget (h) finds herself drawn to Moses (H), a veteran seeking relief from his PTSD, who joins Bridget’s yoga class on a therapist's recommendation. Moses, a man of few words, is captivated by Bridget's compassion and strength. Despite his reservations, he finds himself drawn to her too, attending her classes and opening up about his painful past. Bridget, intrigued by Moses’s rugged exterior and intense presence, offers him private lessons, deepening their connection. As they navigate their relationship, Moses battles his inner demons, feeling unworthy of Bridget’s love due to his scars and emotional baggage, even as Bridget, hurt by past relationships, worries about falling in love again. Together, they offer one another healing and love, and things heat up between the two. Sweet and spicy curvy girl, military romance exploring love’s power to heal and taking chances to find happiness.

Bridget usually does not have men in her yoga class, she finds herself drawn to him. Moses is taking the class at the recommendation of his therapist to help with his PTSD. He has reservations about the class but is drawn to Bridget and asks for private instruction. This helps the connection between the two grow.

Can both of get over their inner demons and start something beautiful together?.
