Instant Attraction (Wilder, #1)

This was my first experience with this author, and I was pleased. This is the first in a series featuring three brothers that run a sort of ‘extreme snow adventure’ business. They brothers are all big, sexy, brooding, outdoorsmen.
Cam was a famous snowboarder and Olympic champion until he suffered a major knee injury that ruined his career. He doesn’t know how to live without the spotlight, without boarding being the center of his world. He takes off on his own for about a year on a soul searching journey. He doesn’t find it and returns home to the family business.
He stumbles in to his cabin from his trek and finds a cute woman asleep in his bed. Katie is just as surprised to see him and he is her and she quickly explains she’s a temporary accountant working for his brother, Stone.
Just like the title says, they are instantly attracted to each other. Katie survived a near fatal car accident when a bridge collapsed. She was the only survivor. She’s been trying to months to take advantage of life ever since. She claims she want to live life ‘balls out’. In fact she repeats this quite a bit through the book, and it annoyed me every time. She is from LA and took this job in the Sierras as part of her plan.
Cam has been hurt badly by women in his past. He really wants Katie, but is the classic non-committer. Katie needs to show him he can feel again, and is worthy of love and of giving it.
I really liked Katie. She was a little naïve, but she was not TSTL. I liked Cam, too, but I wanted him to suck it up a bit quicker than he did.
The author had me laughing quite a few times during this one. There is one part where Katie gets a little tipsy with some other women that are pretty funny, and then the later interaction with Cam was pretty good. I recommend to any contemporary romance fan. I can’t wait to read Stone and TJ’s books coming out later this year.

I started one of her older books, Get a Clue, last night. I think it will be good if I can just find some time to sit down and read.
It drives me nuts when authors have a character repeat the same phrase over and over. I love the book that I'm reading right now, To Beguile A Beast, but the hero keeps referring to the heroine's eyes are "harebell-blue". It seriously seems like there is a reference to her "harebell-blue" eyes every dang page. It gets old very quickly...
Picture of Harebell blossom Those look purple to me, but the description on the page says that the flower is blue.
