Closer to You

Written by Jill Sanders

Narrated by Joe Arden

New York Times bestselling author Jill Sanders strikes gold with a sizzling series about oil-rich playboys whose hearts are up for grabs.

No one’s more surprised than Tyler McGowan when he discovers he has a knack for running the family’s oil business—a role he took on after his father’s sudden passing. Now, to keep the old man’s legacy afloat, Tyler’s giving up his playboy ways and settling into small-town life. But his newfound resolve is tested when trouble strides into his office in five-inch heels.

Kristen Howell has spent the last five years working her way up the corporate ladder. And somehow it’s landed her smack-dab in the middle of nowhere: Haven, Montana. It’s her job to convince the head of McGowan Enterprises to sell. But the tall and rangy hunk is proving to be exceedingly stubborn—and overwhelmingly hot. When someone attempts to derail her negotiations, Kristen is ready to get down and dirty. But the sparks she and Tyler are throwing near the oil field may be dangerously combustible…

Reviews for Closer to You

Closer to You by Jill SandersHaven Montana #1Wonderful beginning to what should prove to be an excellent series if this book is anything to go by. I am sure that brothers Trent and Trey will have books of their own BUT since the series is named after the location and not the brothers this could also include others who live in Haven. The McGowan brothers are HOT and all the women in town seem to know it. However, when Kristen Howell shows up in her designer clothes and is “swept off her feet” it is not because she is immediately filled with lust by Tyler, the eldest McGowan. Nope…she assumes he is “the help” and not “the owner” she was sent to negotiate a deal with. Over time the two do become closer to one another and things heat up but with her living and working so far away there is little chance of a long term relationship, right? This was a complex story with jealousy, kidnapping, embezzling, threats, fisticuffs, a taste of oil rigging rigors including life in an oil town, protestors and more. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Tyler and Kristen and rooted for them to end up with a happily ever after ending – they were perfect for one another. The family dynamics of the McGowans were warm and loving and everything a close family of brothers should be. Words that came strongly to mind while reading and as I finished were: priorities, values, family and community…and how important they are in making lifelong decisions. This was my first book by Jill Sanders but I enjoyed it so much that I want to read more of her work whenever I find it. Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for the ARC – This is my honest review.5 Stars

Tyler thought he'd left the small town in the dust. The three brothers all left home & spread out to make their mark on the world. After their father's sudden passing, they are back & trying to run their father's company. Tyler is surprised when it turns out he has a knack for running the company. Kristen works for a conglomerate that loves to buy up small companies that are doing well. She's been sent to make sure Tyler & his brothers sell out. Warning bells are starting to ring though. First, the chemistry between Tyler & Kristen was intense! If she gave in, would it go anywhere? Second, this job is beginning to seem like more than it was represented. The company she represents isn't taking no for an answer & is expecting her to use questionable tactics to get them to sell. Then the accidents start. What is going on?Ms. Sanders has given her readers a good story with excellent well-developed characters. Several had motive & timing to perform the sabotage & the ending was a wonderful twist. Her descriptive prose makes it easy to envision the scenes in your mind as you are reading & gave me several chuckles.
