A New Adventure

A New Adventure by Lindsay Rochester follows Tayler, who has drifted away from her love of hiking after her best friend moved away, and has instead focused on baking. When she joins a local hiking club to reconnect with that part of her life, she meets Drake, a broody professional mountaineer who’s temporarily back in town after losing his sponsor. Tayler sees him as a challenge, while Drake tries to keep his distance, convinced he’s not the right person for her. As their hikes together turn into something more, a quiet, heartfelt connection begins to grow. No spice readers who enjoy short, sweet romances, outdoor settings, and slow burn chemistry will likely enjoy this novelette. It’s a great pick for anyone looking for a quick, feel-good love story with gentle tension and a focus on new beginnings.
