Web designer Hope Stannard has watched her cousin and her sister fall madly in love. She’s waited patiently for her turn to roll around, but her last boyfriend broke up with her via text message and the new guy she’s interested in disappeared on her for months with no explanation. Perhaps it’s time to throw in the towel, be content living with her Dalmatian puppy and her mother, and accept the official title of Unmarriable Old Maid. Ex-Marine Adam Rouse fills his days with lumberjacking and building furniture. His nights are spent wide awake as he relives a raid in Afghanistan gone wrong. He emerged as the sole survivor, but questions why. Certainly other members of this team were more worthy of living than him. Deciding that bartending at night would be a better use of his time than battling insomnia, Adam applies at Black Wolf Tavern, the only place to hang out in small-town Danton, Vermont. He couldn’t drown his own troubles in rum, but maybe he can help others do so. When Hope is attacked just outside the tavern, Adam comes to her aid, and the frosty winter temperatures can’t cool the heat that’s always been between them. Can Hope scale Adam’s fortress walls? Can Adam believe he is worthy of a woman like Hope? Will they rescue each other?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.

This book was the best. What Adam had gone through over in Afghanistan was dead on. Being with Hope made him feel safe. I loved how you brought them both together in this story. More than Rum is more than a 5 start book. It's romance and suspense wrapped up in one truly amazing story

I really enjoyed this whole series. I was glued to all three books. Hadn't read anything by this writer before, but I will be reading more. The characters were realistic and full of flaws, just like the rest of us.

Her books in this series have good story lines. But her over use of "piss" and "ass " debase the personalities of the characters and herself as a wtiter. There are so many wonderful words in our language . Use more of them.

Loved this book! I couldn't put it down once I started! Personally, some adult novels have too many sex scenes and they get to be too much. This series has the perfect amount! Great story and great characters!

Enjoyed the story of Hope and Adam. A few unexpected twists and turns. Easy read; Hope has a big heart and helps Adam to start living again. The puppy makes you laugh a lot. Her books always have such a great family relationship and they are always willing to bring others into their fold.

Each story in this series is better than the last. I love how the characters have made their way through each book tying story lines together smoothly. Looking forward to the fourth installment that's already downloaded to my kindle!

I read this straight after the first two books and liked the familiar characters from the earlier books. The story was good (if a little familiar with a similar plot to the first two - but for a holiday book I enjoyed it)

This is book 3 of a series & even though they are all love stories, which I love,they have all followed the same story line. On saying that,I will read book 4, just so I' very read the whole series.
