Review: Mountain Topped by K.M. Neuhold & Mia Monroe
SYNOPSIS:
Can a fantasy about being shared turn into something more? Bowen’s about to find out when he gets Mountain topped.
Is there a bigger gay cliché than falling in love with your straight best friend? Oh, I know; a random hookup with a dude from the gym.
I didn’t think I’d ever manage to fall for anyone other than the unattainable Hawthorne, but the more time I spend with Aldis the more I… like him.
As for my straight best friend… do straight guys usually stare so much when you’re wearing gray sweatpants?
I never thought the drunken admission of my deepest fantasy would lead to the three of us hooking up and Hawthorne looking at me like that. Now my best friend and my hookup-turned-more are bonding over their shared love of mountain climbing, the three of us are, ahem, exploring, and I’m hoping this is more than just a messy fling.
REVIEW:
This was a light-quick fluffy palate cleansing book. I was looking for a story to break me up from some pretty heavy and intense reads and this book was perfect for the job. A sweet romance, minimal drama, and a happily-ever after.
The story was filled with plenty of sexy times but lacked some crucial communication. While the characters spend a lot of time together over the month or so timeframe of the book, we don’t actually see a lot of the communication. We hear about it, like Aldis stayed over every night this week getting to know each other better. But this happens repeatedly throughout the novel and at one point you just want to see some dialogue to see that these characters have a deeper relationship.
Otherwise, everything stayed superficial with forgettable characters. Which in my case was what I wanted but if you are looking for a story with a little more depth, this isn’t the book for you.
