Lindsay Miller and Henry Hammond aren't looking for love, but a pact to have a little fun together may turn into something a lot bigger… and last a lot longer than her vacation.

Lindsay has sworn off men until her son is old enough not to be hurt by them, but on a kid-free vacation to see her best friend married off, she has a chance to remember that she’s a woman with needs and not only a struggling single mother. A casual fling with a willing cowboy might be just what she needs, and Henry fits that description.

Devastated after learning that his son isn’t his, Henry is in no mood to entertain ideas about starting a new relationship, but when Lindsay boldly introduces herself, he’s intrigued. She’s fiercely independent but also vulnerable and burned-out from dating the wrong men. A mutual agreement for a one-night stand turns into a week-long adventure, and even after Lindsay returns home to Washington, Henry can’t stop thinking about her. This could be the real deal, but how can he prove that she and her son are more than a rebound family for him when they’re seven hundred miles away?

About the Author

Suzie O'Connell is the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Northstar romances. The series is the product of a love affair with Southwestern Montana that began with a two-week adventure at her stepsister's rustic cabin in her teens. That love affair shows no sign of abating. She has been writing stories for as long as she can remember, and her love of writing and of Montana pushed her to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Writing from the University of Montana-Western. What else would you expect from a self-professed mountain-loving nerd? When she isn't writing, you'll probably find Suzie in the mountains with a camera in hand and enjoying the beauty of Montana with her husband Mark, their daughter Maddie, and their golden retriever Reilly.

Northstar Book 5 - Henry and Lindsay

Reviewed in Australia on 19 January 2021

Verified Purchase

This isn't my favourite from the Northstar Series, but only because I couldn't feel a lot of passion between the lovers. I agree with another reviewer, that the couple's decision to delay sex seemed a little cool and clinical.

BACKGROUND:
Washington-based single mother, Lindsay attends her friend's wedding in Northstar, Montana. Her eight year old son has a father who just doesn't care and has just announced he's marrying another woman.

Henry has just moved home from Denver to Northstar where his family run the Lazy H Ranch. He has just been through a heart-breaking split with his girlfriend. Feeling down and betrayed after finding out he wasn't the father of his girlfriend's baby.
The two both spend an evening commiserating with each other and are obviously attracted. They are both attending the wedding, so they agree to spend the days Lindsay has there, together.
There is plenty going on in both of their lives to develop a very involving story that moves on well after the wedding is over, and includes a snowy family Christmas. 3/5.

I thought I would enjoy this book as much as the 'Road to Garret"

Reviewed in Australia on 2 May 2018

I paid for this book thinking I would enjoy it as much as the 'Road to Garret" by the same author. I really liked the snippet at the end of the last one so I bought it. I may be the only person to not like this book or at least not like the first third. I can't get into the females characters headspace at all. I find the deal of a week of romancing with planned sex at the end of it quite distasteful which is why the dropped stars. Not that I understand how anyone would even want that, because either there is no connection which makes it ick, or there is a connection and to break it off makes it stupid. Why would you not want to go ahead and try for a relationship for real? Why would you plan to leave somebody who makes you happy, who gets you, who is obviously a great match, behind? I don't understand either one of them. I am up to that night now and I kept hoping one of them would change their mind. Also "An emotional connection makes it even better I never realized that before." You're kidding me, right? Wow who would have thunk... Feeling an attachment but going ahead with a night of sex is a stupid thing to do if you are planning on ending things.
I am sure this book will get better later since I like the authors writing style, I just dislike this plot choice. I wanted to leave this review for anybody else who feels the same way.

Another amazing story by the talented Suzie O'Connell

Reviewed in Australia on 19 August 2015

Yet another amazing story by Suzie O'Connell.... I stumbled across Suzie's Northstar Romances / Hammond Brothers series only a few months ago and I have read them all and am eagerly awaiting the next one (which by the way cannot come soon enough).

Suzie has an amazing ability to integrate the reader into the story; Henry, Lindsay and Noah's story is no different where the reader is exposed to a passionate and emotive story that brings out amazing friendships and love of family (and friends).

We also get a glimpse of the main characters from the previous books (which is great as I always want to know more about what is happening with them) and the reader gets another opportunity to fall in love with the Montana.

I truly enjoyed reading this book and recommend you do as well. This can be read as a stand-alone but I strongly urge you to read them all so you too can fall in love with the characters as well.

Love the writing, stories, characters... I want to live in Northstar lol!

Reviewed in Australia on 30 August 2015

I love all of the Northstar Romances, they are all such rich stories. They feel real and aren't rushed (unlike some romances where it's love in a day or married in less than a month!) The characters have issues but work through them, fall in love over time, have great friends and family and have fun. And although all of the books can be stand alone the families and friends continue through the series so you see the future of the main characters from previous books :-)

But there's thing that bugged me in this book, one big scene that didn't match up with the book before this (Twice Shy - Aaron & Skye). It's the first time I remember in all of the series where it didn't match - in 'Twice Shy' Aaron & Skye got engaged before a family dinner when she got back to Northstar, then in 'Once Burned' they weren't engaged and the same family dinner scene changed? That's my only issue/query really!

Love the writing in every book, the stories, characters, location, everything!
