4.4 out of 5 stars 814 ratings

Funny, sweet, curvy, and giving, Cora Lance is almost perfect.
She owns the local beauty shop, Hair to Eternity.
(Yeah, she’s a little quirky.)
Firefighter, Judd Wellington has had his eyes on Cora for quite a while.
He likes everything he sees in the pretty little red head.
He hasn’t made a move, because she’s the Fire Chief’s daughter.
That means sweet little Cora is off limits.
Judd is determined to lock down his need for Cora.
He figures the best way to do that is to avoid her and to never, ever be alone with her.
But what happens when the town of Thickwood, Colorado, is flooded, leaving Cora and Judd trapped in his cabin completely alone with nothing to do.
But each other.

    Cora and Judd have been trying to avoid each other for years. Each of them have feelings for each other, but the thing standing in their way is her father. He's the fire chief and Judd's boss. After rescuing Cora from a wreck on a stormy night, Judd takes to her his cabin where they finally admit their feelings and act on them. I loved this story. Keep seeing these two in the other books and was hoping we'd get theirs. Forbidden love is a great trope. They were passionate about each other and fought her dad to stay together. Great read.

    It was good though as with most is becoming predictable. Overall, not a bad read at all especially if you dig the mountain men type.

    I was so hoping that Judd and Cora would get a story ever since being introduced in Braden's book. Omg what a story they got. Judd works for Cora's father. Her father is Thickwoods fire chief. Cora has always been off limits. I mean she has to be. Well fate has different plans. Mother nature threw a monkey wrench by the way of a rain storm. Late one night Judd finds Cora stranded on the road in the pouring rain. Only option is to wait it out at his cabin. Can these two defy fate and sexual attraction to survive one night? We shall see. It was such a fast paced and fun read. I couldn't flip the pages fast enough. I love all the tension of the characters. It was nice to see Braden and Ophelia make an appearance too.

    Judd has always tried to stay away from the Fire Chief's daughter, Cora but sometimes fate steps in. Cora and Judd have been fighting their attraction to each other for years but some forced proximity will soon change that....lol.

    What is it about a big and burly mountain man that draws you in like a moth to a flame? To be honest, I'm not completely sure. But, there's something there, because despite not being overly blown away by this series, here I am five books deep.

    I am not normally a sugar and spice kinda girl...sweet and simple romances are definitely not my thing. And for the most part the Thickwood, Colorado series is just that, a safe, swoony series that vanilla hea fans will love. However, there are tiny little snippets of darkly delicious, angsty goodness hidden throughout. Enough to keep even rough and crusty, violent bad boy loving shifter crones like me paying attention.

    Is every book in this series great? Nope, not at all, out of the five I've read thus far, only two others have moved me enough to leave a review. And thankfully this installment, "The Mountain Man's Rewards" by L. Nicole, is good enough to be the third!

    Here, in this fifth installment of the series, we find the story of Judd and Cora. Both of whom we've met in earlier books. Judd, is the sweet, kind, and humble firefighter with dreams of one day becoming the man in charge of the department. And Cora (his longtime secret love) is the beautiful and fiery salon owner he secretly pines for. The woman of his dreams who just so happens to also be forbidden fruit as the existing fire chief's daughter. 

    What follows is a sweet and sassy story of longing. A sexy, more carefree story of a couple trying to ignore fate. A story that, despite being very, very vanilla, is still a rather moving, heart warming tale of two souls coming together as one. As they were designed to be. It is a lovely piece that, unless you're completely dead inside, will have your "awww" motor running by the second chapter. And although it does not have the angsty, trauma driven backdrops of the previous books, will still keep you hooked until the very end.

    While still somewhat simplistic and overly cautious. This installment is a vast improvement over the last book. Back is the sizzling chemistry between characters. Back is the depth and emotional richness. And back is the smooth, more methodical and patient pacing that keeps your heart impatiently thumping in your chest with each passing page.

    Does it come anywhere close to the caliber of Jordan Marie's, poignant and wit filled contribution to this series? No, no it does not. However, it is still a highly enjoyable read. A far better read than the one before it, and well worth the hour or so it takes to devour.

    He's a firefight and her dad is chief. So she's is forbidden to date , but her has cared for her for yrs. She had felt the same way about him. A bad storm and she's in a ditch and he rescues her and takes her to his cabin. They're both tired of avoiding beginning together. They had to work out a couple of things and calming her dad down but things are finally going their way

    ‘The mountain man’s reward’ was a lovely little treat...

    When Judd and Cora were initially introduced to us in book 2 (Branded By The Mountain Man by Jordan Marie) I must say I was intrigued and wanted their story as well.

    Judd and Cora have been dancing around each other for years and they've been avoiding each other for years. Cora's father is the Fire Chief in town, which means he's also Judd's boss. However, one night she goes for a drive and in bad weather is driven off the road. No signal to call for help, Judd luckily stumbles across her and takes her home. When a storm has them crossing paths and Judd helping Cora out of a jam they end up spending time together.
    After years of avoiding each other, and now stuck together in a cabin....the chemistry is undeniable...

    I enjoyed this story as Judd and Cora had history and it wasn’t yet another insta love story. I also loved the fact Cora had a career and Judd was proud of that. L. Nicole is a new to me author and I look forward to reading more of her work.

    Judd and Cora have been dancing around each other for years by using methods of avoidance. However, one night she goes for a drive and in bad weather is driven off the road. No signal to call for help, Judd luckily stumbles across her and takes her home. After years of avoiding each other, stuck together in a cabin....oh my what will they do? 🤷‍♀️

    I enjoyed this story as Judd and Cora had history and wasn’t an insta love story from the word go. L. Nicole is a new to me author and although I enjoyed the story, she often jumped between present and past tenses which caused the story to slow down rather than keeping at the same pace. A good story none the less and I look forward to the last few in this series😁

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cora and Judd
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2020
    Cora and Judd have been attracted to each other for years but have keep away from each other as much as you can in a small town like Thickwood. The reason? The fire Chief was Cora's dad and Judd's boss. He was adamant that Cora shouldn't date a firefighter and he was determined to prevent that. Unexpectedly they are thrust into each other's life with a little help from mother nature. Great plot, likeable characters and red hot romance. Highly recommended
