Mountain Daddy: Mountain Men Series Book Two

Why We Recommend It

If you’re drawn to love stories charged with forbidden tension and intense chemistry, S.J. Tilly’s Mountain Daddy is a gripping read you won’t be able to put down.

As the second installment in the Mountain Men series, it tells a tale of unexpected passion that ignites into something deeper, tangled by a forbidden twist: 32-year-old Kendra, left stranded after being scammed by her roommate, heads to her father’s house. En route, she stops at a motel and shares a memorable night with Luther, a stunning silver fox whose biceps seem ready to burst through his flannel. What starts as a one-time encounter takes a shocking turn a week later—he’s her father’s closest friend.

Knowing the relationship is strictly off-limits—he’s an elder figure, her dad’s confidant—their chemistry is undeniable, swinging between restraint and surrender. Tilly skillfully captures the push-and-pull of adult romance, blending the drama of a post-one-night-stand reunion with the thrill and guilt of a forbidden connection. Against the quiet backdrop of a small town, the 534-page story balances calm serenity with emotional intensity, making every near-moment crackle with tension. Topping charts like “Small Town Romance” and “Contemporary Romance” with a 4.7/5 rating, it’s perfect for anyone craving a story that mixes danger and sweetness into an addictive emotional ride.
