Synopsis (Goodreads):
WHY DATE A MOUNTAIN MAN? Because he can bring you to your peak.Thoughts on Crossing Paths: The most introverted of the Pax sisters is up and her special someone is the man she tapped to help her learn to defend herself. Dash is big, a little growly, and kinda smitten with the lady who freezes when a fist is flying at her face. To be fair, Norah knows Dash won't actually punch her, so this freezing bit is really her learning to commit defensive moves to muscle memory with someone she feels safe with.
Norah Pax loves working for her family's Rocky Mountain bounty-hunting business. But unlike her adrenaline-junkie sisters, she only enjoys chasing skips from the safety of her laptop. She has all the computer skills she could want, but her fighting technique is lacking—so when all hands are needed, she dredges up her courage to ask surly MMA expert Dashiell Porter to teach her everything she needs to know. Dash may be terrifying to most, but his unexpected gentleness makes her feel safe, and it isn't long before things begin heating up.
Dash is used to people slowly backing away when he enters a room, but a certain beautiful bounty hunter's earnest trust throws him off guard…and catches his attention. Yet as the two exchange punches and endearingly awkward flirtations, vultures circle. Every criminal in town has turned against the Pax girls, and they're willing to hit them where they're (supposedly) weakest: Norah. To keep herself and her family safe, Norah will need every new skill that Dash can teach her.
Good thing that Dash is ready to do whatever it takes to protect the gentle yet fierce bounty hunter who stole his heart.
The fact Norah DOES feel safe with Dash kind of throws him. He's used to people giving him a wide berth, but Norah puts herself in his hands and that's that. At least in Norah's mind. As it turns out, Dash really likes Norah's mind. And he's not okay with the amount of times she's been threatened or nearly blown up (look, these things happen when you're a bounty hunter). He's also not okay with the stalker she's picked up on her most recent case.
Norah's not okay with her stalker either. Neither are her sisters. But she does get to buddy up with Dash for the duration, so it's not entirely terrible. She also has an irritating former classmate who doesn't know how to accept a brushoff and her mom's still leading them on a wild goose chase. So, yeah, getting to spend time with Dash might be the only bright point about this.
A creepy stalker, some sisterly teasing, a potential new friend, a man who is more than willing to be the brawn to Norah's brain, and a lady who knows a good man when she meets him. *thumbs up*
