Wish the signature Aurora Rose Reynolds style of insta-lust/love, this book will hook you quickly and have you wanting more of the series before the book is even finished. It flows well and is easy to read, the characters are great and the chemistry between the main characters was hot! Overall it was an enjoyable read!

This was a beautiful love story
Premise
Cybil is the queen of bad timing. First, her fiancé breaks up with her days before their wedding. Next, she’s stuck going on a couples retreat in the Montana wilderness alone. And worst of all, now she’s fighting a growing attraction to the wilderness retreat’s rugged owner, Tanner.
I love the chemistry between Cybil and Tanner and how after coming such heartache she manages to open her heart to love and the beautiful Montana setting adds to the story as well.

I loved the first half of the book with our main characters camping, it was so much fun to read and I loved how it had a lower level of angst for the most part.I really liked how he was almost instantly all in with her and I usually don't like that 'instalove' but it really worked for me with this book.

This book isn't too long but I did find it to drag a little towards the end and I did not like the name Cybil on a side note which did actually effect my reading experience.

I'll definitely continue with the series.

This was a sweet romance, perfect when you want something gentle and angst-free.

The beginning is a travel romance, the heroine was recently dumped by her fiance and goes on an adventure trip they had planned. There she meets Tanner, her guide for the week. The two are immediately drawn to each other, especially as the trip takes a dangerous turn or two. After the trip is over, they have to determine how they could work in real life, outside of the vacation bubble.

I enjoyed reading it, the setting felt very real to me and I love the idea of the adventure company and how the secondary characters are set up for future books.

The only problem for me is both main characters were pretty perfect, neither really had any flaws and their romance was super easy. The only sort-of problem was they don’t live in the same place and even that wasn’t a huge issue.

But again, it was very sweet if you are looking for a cute love story without a lot of angst or conflict.

Have to say this is better than her <i>How to Catch and Alpha</i> series but still follows all tropes ARR writes about. Alpha H, insta-love, and a very readable story. This book makes you want all the other side characters books also.
But my one complaint is we didn't find what happened to those hunters after they shot the bull elk, even though Cybil sees one of them in a Target.

I enjoyed this book. I have read books by the author before and I would continue to read books from the author.

Cybil is the queen of bad timing. First, her fiancé breaks up with her days before their wedding. Next, she’s stuck going on a couples retreat in the Montana wilderness alone. And worst of all, now she’s fighting a growing attraction to the wilderness retreat’s rugged owner, Tanner.

Tanner has built his wilderness adventure service on a few key principles: never take unnecessary risks, never put anyone’s life in danger—and never, ever sleep with a client. The arrival of a beautiful new visitor, however, might mean bending the rules.

Two people looking for anything but romance may have just bumped into their soul mates. In the Montana wilds, any misstep can spell danger. Cybil and Tanner just have to decide if they’re brave enough to face their next adventure.
What a ride this book was to read. I sailed thru the pages and had a great time reading it.

Cybil is not having good luck lately. Her fiancé, with whom she’s been with forever, broke up with her right before the wedding, she’s constantly getting pitying looks from everyone she knows ( thanks small town living), she has to go on an outdoor adventure trip that she booked to do as a couple per her fiancé’s likes (and has no desire to do) because it was non refundable, and now that she’s there she’s the only non couple (great). Tanner loves what he does running an outdoor, nature loving, adventure tour group with his buddies, but he’s in the shock of his life when he, as the guide, has to partner up with the most unlikely tourist, Cybil. Their adventure together is hilarious as these two seemingly opposite people grow stronger together during their time as a “couple” on the trip. There’s lots of humor, a bit of adventure, and some sweet loving times. But what happens when the trip ends and these polar opposites face opposition from their friends and family? This is a nice quick and sweet romance by this author who never fails to deliver, that leaves you wanting to find out more about the supporting characters (fingers crossed for more books please). 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review

Rushed by Aurora Rose Reynolds an adventure of a five-star read. This is number one in the Adventures in Love series, and I need number two now, this is just such a great read, you can feel the water on your face from the rafting and smell the fire as you roast your dinner over it. My heart broke for Sybil, at the beginning living in a small town and everyone knowing about your breakup, must be so hard, then going away to a place you only arranged for your ex, what a horror, but she shows us how strong she is by embracing the change and enjoying the trip and all that comes with it. Then the story really begins, Tanner will surprise you and make you fall in love so hard with him. Just like all of the boys in the Wilderness, what a great start to what I am sure will be a great series.

Really enjoyed this series started by the always dazzling Aurora Rose Reynolds. Set in the beautiful landscape of glorious Montana, ARR kicks this series off with a sweet and swoony story between a wilderness retreat owner and his newly single client. And I can already tell this Adventures is love in series is going to be a delicious adventure indeed- sweet, sexy, and fun.

Our heroine Cybil finds herself on a couples retreat- but completely and heartbreakingly single. Determined to move past her past pains and the pity of her small town life, she decides to lean into her time in Montana, where she has a super memorable meet cute with a mystery man- who steals her parking place and her table at the local diner. A spark ignites, so imagine their surprise when he’s the guide of Cybil’s wilderness group, and soon their chemistry can not be denied.

Aurora writes so compellingly about the spark. While instalove isn’t always my favorite in romance, ARR somehow gets me to believe that a single glance, a single moment, a single spark can ignite an intense and meaningful connection - that you can love at first sight. And I loved watching these two fall together, even if the meddling of other people and more tragedy for Cybil. And we get to see two people show up for each other and care for each other in ways that warm the heart and give you all the swoony feels.

Tanner is just so dreamy and charming, and I loved Cybil’s heart and strength. The “boom” chemistry is sweet and sexy, and the angst is pretty low. I loved Tanner’s unwavering interest in Cybil -his support of her is so sexy. And it was so delightful to see a couple weather challenges together, to grow stronger from the obstacles they face.

With gorgeous setting, romantic sparks, fun adventures, and a dynamic and intriguing secondary cast, ARR has the groundwork for a great new series full of heart and heat- and I’m looking forward to what’s next!

Cybil is going on the couples retreat she booked before her fiancé broke up with her. She does not not consider herself outdoorsy but time away from all of the pitying looks in her small Oregon hometown will be good. When she ends up partnered with undeniably hot tour guide Tanner she doesn't know how to feel. However as the trip goes on she realizes a new appreciation for nature and for Tanner as well.

The pages flew by as I read this one. Light on drama which I tend to prefer and the story does not suffer for it because the characters were strong enough not to need it. The romance moved a little fast but I was totally on board andI am really excited to read books about the rest of Tanner's business partners.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a sweet story. After Cybil’s fiancé leaves her she decides to take the wilderness couples retreat that they had planned to go on. Since she is the only single one on the retreat she pairs with the guide Tanner. Tanner and Cybils attraction to each other grows as the days pass. Rushed is a sweet read, with a great mix of characters. I can’t wait to read more from this series!

What a sweet low angst romance! Tanner was a great alpha male who was all in with Cybil right from the start, which I absolutely love. This was beautifully written, with great emotion.

I really enjoyed this sweet romance. It was mostly low angst. There is a bit of other woman drama but that drama was not only focused on the the hero. And when it was, he handled it perfectly. You just know from the very start that Tanner is all about Cybil and no one else. I love that in a book. I want my heroes focused only on the heroine. I much prefer to see a couple deal with drama together instead of seeing it drive a wedge between them. I also really loved how Tanner was still that alpha male even while being completely sweet with Cybil. I loved it!

This was my first time reading books from this author and I am looking forward to reading some of her backlist. this was a fun, entertaining romance.

Not my first read by the author and by now I sure hope if you know me even a tiny bit you know how obsessed I am with Aurora’s books and I have read them all and re read countless times. That said I was excited to get something NEW in hopes we still get the old school Aurora and SHE DELIVERED!! Phew!

Cybil the heroine is the sweetest and just loved her. After her ex fiancée just up and leaves her, she is stuck with a Couple Retreat in the Montana Mountains tour that is non-refundable and so she jumps out of her comfort zone despite her best friend warning her not to, after all Cybil is not THAT girl that goes out of her comfort zone. When she gets there it starts off on the left leg but turns out to me so much more than she could have hoped out of a retreat. The beauty alone has her mesmerized. Tanner out hero here COULD I HAVE FALLEN MORE IN LOVE WITH HIM? No, because he was the perfect mix of BOOM & NEW. He is a man that comes from nothing, literarily and figuratively. No family but his best friends who are exactly that. When he runs into a feisty little one he is shocked to be rejected. When they run into each other again, there is no way she can say no. The adventure these two go through next is what had me on the edge ready faster and hanging on what will happen. I really liked the side characters too. The heroine’s bff is a little over the top but all in love, and I got to say I saw a little rebellious Aurora from a side character that I almost really wanted to just kill off….and he is one of the one that will have his book, that’s all I am going to say about Blake 😉 Both the hero and heroine come from a past of course, the heroine lost her mother at a young age and the hero never had family or parents. So their heart to hearts really pull at the strings, painfully beautiful so to say. But the way the hero is with the heroine, SWOON SWOON SWOON city!

This book really is full of adventure, heart, action and just plain sweet and beautiful down to the last page!

I have never been disappointed by Ms. Reynolds books. This is another great read! Tanner and Cybil have great chemistry and the flow of the characters I just flew through this book, which I hated because it was over too fast. When Cybil is dumped at alter and decides to take the honeymoon trip that her almost new husband wanted she never expected to find Tanner and the experience on the adventure. Love her fellow campers she had on the trip. That added a perfect amount of comedy to it. I can not wait for more stories from the friends. Given arc for review.

This book is everything I love about romance, and everything romance should be. It was the whole package, just like my Tanner. So, I’m not sure if there is a Live Life Adventures in Montana, but if there is…I think we should all go, and ask for Tanner😉😂. He is smitten with her right from the start, he’s smitten with her, I’m smitten with him, and so on, and so on. I’m not sure that there is anything that isn’t perfect about Tanner….
1. Former marine, so he can protect her
2. Survival guide, so he can take care of her in the elements
3. Business owner, so he can take care of her financially
4. Cooks (probably should’ve made this number 1)
5. Reads romance books to her…in a bubble bath…swoon, I know perfect (maybe this should’ve been number 1)
6. Knows what he wants, and is not afraid to get it
Yup, total package this one…and he is also smoking hot, but doesn’t know it…so truly the total package. She is exactly the ray of sunshine he claims her to be. She is sweet, thoughtful of others, but tough as nails stubborn.

They meet when she goes to Montana on a couples retreat, minus her ex-fiancé. So, she is lucky enough to get paired up with the guide, Tanner. Did it seem fast? Maybe. Did it seem real? Definitely. These two were absolutely make-my-heart-happy-relationship-goals. This book really did have it all, and I loved it. Couldn’t put it down, and didn’t want to. Everything romance is about, are these two. It was fun, sincere, heart warming, a little suspense, and a whole lot of love. A sweet epilogue and a hea. Thank you Aurora Rose Reynolds for bringing us this new and wonderful series.

The book felt to me like the title of this book.... Rushed. Everything felt it went in super speed of this book. I know ARR's books have the same make up (insta love) but this one was a little too fast for my taste.
