Poppy Walker has a plan to restore the family resort, and she's sticking to it. So when a good-looking guy with plenty of cash rents one of her half-repaired vacation cabins, she figures that he's just what the handyman ordered. But when a storm blows through, it takes down some trees, her roof, and then . . . her self-control. Even though she's been burned before by a wealthy passer-through, she can't stay away from the brooding but gorgeous stranger in the bungalow next door. Former teen idol turned Hollywood exec Ryan Hamilton wants a private place in which to endure his very personal heartbreak. Finally, at this rustic mountain cabin, he has all the seclusion one man could want-until sparks begin to fly with his sexy, formerly chilly landlady. By the time the weather dies down, they're both hot, bothered, and certain that they're still wrong for each other. But there's no telling how they'll face the new storm brewing on the horizon . . .

Take My Breath Away (Cabin Fever), by Christie Ridgway From Booklist The mountain resort town of Blue Arrow Lake has two kinds of residents, those eking out a living in the town settled by their families a century and a half ago, and the Hollywood glitterati with their extravagant mansions who like to party. Poppy Walker, a single mom trying to make a go of rehabbing her family’s dilapidated and almost abandoned resort, rents out a leaky cabin to Ryan Hamilton, a famous bad-boy celebrity she has never heard of who somehow has issues with the entire month of March. A late-season storm isolates them alone together for a time, and when they emerge, a mob of paparazzi forces them to flee to Ryan’s palatial mansion. While Ridgway’s sensual depictions of Poppy and Ryan’s steamy sexual encounters illuminate their relationship and move their story forward in a realistic and believable manner, Ryan’s hidden tragedy and Poppy’s youthful mistakes make them vulnerable and sympathetic. Their relationships with their siblings and Poppy’s five-year-old son, Mason, add depth and texture to this entertainingly romantic tale. --Diana Tixier Herald

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT BEFORE THE STORM By Texanne Poppy is a single mother raising her young son, Mason, and working on rebuilding resort cabins in the mountains of California. To Poppy, the cabins and resort are her family’s inheritance and a testament to their history. Because her brother and sisters believe this is a lost cause she is working on things alone.Ryan is an entertainment personality who is not only wealthy but living with a sorrow in his life. Every year, he has a period of such intense pain that he has determined he wants to find a place to stay where he can remain completely isolated from his normal life. His success has not protected him from what he considers to be his failure.When he and Poppy meet, there is immediate attraction and when a storm does huge damage to the resort the attraction becomes much more.Both Poppy and Ryan are dealing with pain in their past. Each of them have difficulty dealing with issues. Both find it hard to communicate about inner most thoughts.This book is a romance, but it is also about family relationships and learning to live life as it is, not as we would wish. It is also about learning to accept help and love from the people around us. There is a great deal of growth shown by both Poppy and Ryan as they see that life can hold joy as well as disappointment.The plot is well developed. At first I had a hard time getting into the story, once I got a little more deeply in, I remained involved. The characters are created to be well rounded human beings. Each has flaws as well as attractive characteristics.The secondary characters add a great deal to the story. I was especially enamored of, Mason, Poppy’s little boy. The family and friends who are introduced as the story progresses each bring a new layer to the story.I can see why Ms Ridgway is such a popular author.I received this book from the publisher in hopes I would give a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mostly I just wanted this book to be over, but I also don't think it was a terrible book. Let's see if I can work my feelings out.First, no mentioned in the description, but Poppy, the female lead, has a five-year-old child. Do I wish I had known that going in? Yes, absolutely. I'm not a big fan of books where the main characters have children. There's too many things about kids that (rightly) take away from the romance and I prefer my romances to be about romances, not a child. That said, Poppy's son was kind of cute and I liked his adoration of Ryan so it wasn't all bad, but still, if I had known in advance there would be a child I probably wouldn't have even picked this up.Second, part of me feels like this is a book for older people, which is weird because Poppy is 27-years old, two years younger than I am, and Ryan is only a handful of years older (31 maybe?). However, Poppy is such an old maid. Since having the kid she's cloistered herself off up in the mountains outside of Los Angeles. She used to manage an inn, but when it closes for repairs she decides to renovate some cabins her family owns and try to rent them out to rich "flatlanders" aka Los Angelenos aka people from Los Angeles, which is how she meets Ryan, a former childhood star. Poppy seems impossibly perfect and independent. I understand why her circumstances would have made her that way, but still it just didn't seen genuine to me.Third, when Ryan and Poppy met I liked their relationship. Ryan is the brooding guy from LA and Poppy is the small town girl who's been beaten down. And there was heat and attraction there and I was into it. But as the story went on I never got what either of them really saw in each other. Their interactions were few and far between and when they were interacting it was either with Poppy's son present or when they were having sex. I don't want to use the term "instalove" that's so popular with my beloved YA books, because it wasn't like that, but it also left me feeling confused. They're both very closed off characters, but I there had to have been a better way to allow them to get to know each other. The book is told in alternating third-person perspectives between Poppy and Ryan and honestly if we hadn't had Ryan's perspective we would have known nothing about him.Fourth, I just lied above. The book is told from Ryan and Poppy's perspectives, but then oddly there were also excerpts from Ryan's brother Linus's screenplay which, even more oddly, is based on a relationship Linus had the previous summer with Poppy's cousin Charlie (a girl). Then, after the screenplay excerpt the book would go into the story of Linus and Charlie in the present from either (but mostly Linus's) of their third-person perspectives. I did not understand this at all. From Linus and Charlie's relationship I did get to learn more about the relations between locals and flatlanders, but otherwise it just seemed like an unnecessary distraction. Even though I liked Linus and Charlie. I wouldn't mind reading a book about them, but I don't understand why their story had to be interjected here.Fifth, for much of the book the story just seemed stuck. At the beginning of the story Poppy and Ryan are at Poppy's family's cabins and, since they're the only two people there and they're trying to avoid each other, not much was happening. Which was sucked because it meant spending a lot of time in Poppy and Ryan's heads. After maybe 50 or 75 pages I didn't know how I was going to get through the rest of the book. But then, movement! Poppy and Ryan have to leave the family compound! But unfortunately they end up at Ryan's mountain home. Poppy's son (who was in Disney World with her cousin) and Linus are now in the picture, but still, it stagnated. Honestly, nothing really happened. Poppy's son hero-worships Ryan, but Ryan keeps to himself, Poppy takes care of her son, and sometimes Poppy and Ryan have sex. It was just very slow and drawn out.Sixth, something good, the story didn't unfold how I expected it. Ryan, through a series of unfortunately events, became infamous with the tabloids. Poppy, who's not into celebrity culture at all, doesn't recognize him. I thought that the story would go along without Poppy knowing Ryan's true identity and that, at the end, that would be the problem between them. Also, Ryan doesn't immediately know about Poppy's son and that was another thing I thought would be a problem in the end. But then Poppy finds out that Ryan is famous and Ryan finds out Poppy has a son and that wasn't ultimately the issue. The thing that was ultimately the issue was heartbreaking and I found how Ryan deals with it and ultimately came to terms with it compelling, but still, it didn't make up for all my other issues.Bottom Line: I didn't want to give this book two stars, but I don't think I have any other choice. There were characters and moments that I enjoyed, but in the end there were too many things about the characters, the story, and the pacing that got under my skin and made it feel like I was reading a book that's much longer than 384 pages.I received an electronic review copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

By Michelina (Mikki @A Bookish Escape) If you're a fan of Contemporary Romance, Take My Breath Away by Christie Ridgway is exactly the kind of reading escape you are looking for! This is the first installment in her Cabin Fever Series.Poppy Walker is a single mom who has big dreams. One of her dreams is to restore the family resort, which will bring the Walker family closer together. When a mysterious stranger shows up at the resort and is willing to pay big money to rent a cabin, she can't refuse. Bills are pilling up and renovations have to get done. Her first visitor might just be the answer to her prayers. Ryan Hamilton hates the month of March. Every year the past catches up to him. This year is just like any other year until Poppy Walker enters his life. When they meet their attraction is instant. The more time they spend together, the more they get under each other's skin. Will they be able to let go of the past and start a future together?What a great story! I really enjoyed discovering this new author and series. This book has a good storyline, lovable characters and it caught my attention from the very beginning. Poppy and Ryan were amazing together! They had tender, funny and passionate moments. My connection to both of them was made at the very beginning of their journey and they held my attention until I turned the last page of their sweet love story! Both of these characters have been burned in the past and it was beautiful to see how they helped each other overcome their insecurities. I was curious to find out why the month of March was such a devastating month for Ryan. When I found out why he hated March so much, my heart broke for him! I loved how determined Poppy was to restore her family resort. She really wants to keep the Walker Legacy alive and she's not afraid anymore to ask for help. Poppy has a heart of gold! She is sweet, understanding and she was the perfect match for Ryan. Even if Ryan pushed her away, she never gave up on him and made him believe in love again. Poppy's son, Mason, was absolutely adorable!! I was happy he was a part of this story. Awwww moments guaranteed! Take My Breath Away (Cabin Fever), by Christie Ridgway
