Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:"Well paced, well-written, a romantic delight."-Lori Wilde, New York Times bestselling author
The Garner brothers are poster boys for the ski resort town of Glory Junction, California. But as much as they love outdoor thrills, they know how to create indoor thrills, too . . .
Colt Garner thrives on adrenaline. As Glory Junction's police chief and the co-owner of Garner Adventure, he knows where to find danger and excitement. show more Unfortunately his new neighbor, fussy, transplanted city girl Delaney Scott, is anything but a thrill, even if she is as gorgeously curved as a killer ski slope. They have nothing in common but a shared driveway they're arguing over . . . and a mutual attraction neither of them can fight.
Starting over was not in designer Delaney's plans. But now that her rotten ex has walked away with the rights to her brand, she needs to reinvent herself, and fast. It's not easy with bold, brash Colt next door, too handsome for his own good, and, she's sure, too unreliable for hers. But as small town life throws them together again and again, Colt and Delaney find that simple romance may be the most exhilarating gamble of all . . . show less

Need You by Stacy Finz
Garner Brothers #1
First book in a new series and the first book I have read by this author. I enjoyed the story of Colt and Delaney and believe it is a good introduction to what will probably be a trilogy since one of the four Garner brothers has had his story told in a previously printed anthology. There are other people in Glory Junction that could have stories but they are not Garners so hopefully we will hear about them either in the next two books or there will be a spin-off series created for them, too.
Colt Garner is the police chief of a town that has an influx of tourists during summer and winter. His family has an adventure sport type business that he helps out with from time to time. His neighbor, show more Delaney Scot, is recently divorced and not the happiest camper in the world. The two bicker over parking and other things until things change and they begin to really see and find an interest in one another. Both are likable and dedicated to their work. Delaney is in a bit of a slump looking for inspiration and feeling rough after her divorce and the settlement. Garner is still dealing with unfinished business after his last romantic breakup.
The story moves along steadily with new people introduced, the mayor set up as the bad guy, friendship groups delineated, various relationships explored, town activities enjoyed and eventually solutions found for some of the problems presented. The story was enjoyable without much real drama to contend with. It had a small town feel that was cozy. At times I felt a few of the scenes were padding (for instance the thief that was never found) and some of the characters extraneous unless there is some part for them in the future.
Did I like the story? Yes
Would I recommend it? Yes
Would I like to read the next book in the series? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Book – Zebra Shout for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Received an ARC of this for review (review posted elsewhere).
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Nothing really held my attention. Neither central character has any flaws, both of them have been done wrong by an ex who is irredeemable.
In a world of 1,000,000,000 options, this isn't one I'd hand to a friend first.
