From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros comes a small town, single parent romance.
Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit.
Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two.
The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes.
Cue inconvenient heart flip.
This is only temporary.I can’t fall for Weston.I. Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston.But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.
A Little Too Close is one of those rare books that has conflict without an antagonist. Even without a “bad guy” I stayed interested in the struggles of the main character throughout, and I found this to be an exceptionally enjoyable story.
We met Reed Madigan in A Little Too Late. Weston Madigan is the middle child of the three Weston brothers. He has a boulder-sized chip on his shoulder due to childhood trauma, and has spent his entire adult life in the Air Force as a helicopter pilot, deliberately avoiding home. When he is needed to help with the family business, a boutique ski resort, he reluctantly returns home to Madigan Mountain.
I’m a sucker for single moms, and it didn’t take long for me to grow attached to Callie. Her dedication to her 11-year-old daughter warmed my heart. Sutton is a scene stealer with her fearless, bold nature and admirable negotiating skills.
Weston integrates himself into Callie and Sutton’s life so easily that he barely notices they’ve essentially become a family. It was so sweet. Of course, I loved the chemistry between Callie and Weston and appreciated the slow build. Callie’s ability to understand Weston and love him without trying to change him is beautiful.
I liked the realistic way Weston deals with his animosity towards his dad and older brother. Lifelong grudges can’t be fixed overnight, and sometimes happily ever after isn’t a reasonable expectation.
Once again, Madigan Mountain offers scenic vistas, breathtaking aerial views, and breath-stealing downhill skiing. A Little Too Close was a warm, cozy read. I’m excited to return to the mountain and learn about the youngest Madigan brother, Crew, in A Little Too Wild.

I love this review! You hit the highlights well. Such a great single parent romance. I couldn’t decide which character was my favorite.
