Synopsis:

Aspen

I’ve watched my sister struggle to find the happily ever after that she deserves. I know love doesn’t happen overnight, but a man like Conrad Riggins almost makes me believe in forever.

The hottie Riggins brother has always been a shameless flirt, but the way his gaze slowly travels over my towel-clad body heats things up a few degrees.

I tell myself that we’re just caught up in the moment. After the wedding, everything will go back to normal. He will be the carefree bachelor, and I’ll be the woman who kept him warm for the most incredible night of my life.

Conrad

Thanks to my brother’s impending nuptials, I’m sent to our family cabin to keep the bride’s sister company while she does whatever is it that bridesmaids do.

Aspen Steele is a force to be reckoned with and even more beautiful than I realized. It takes being trapped in a snowstorm with her for me to realize she’s my magic.

And when our scheduled time comes to an end, I’m not ready to let go. She thinks we’re just passing the time, but that’s not how our story ends. Touch by Touch, I’ll prove her wrong.

Conrad and Aspen’s story is just as sweet as sweet can be. I felt the magic in this one!

In My Own Words:

All Aspen wants is for her sister, Aurora’s, wedding to go off without a hitch. If there is ever a person that deserves the happiest of ever afters, it’s her sister. So she does what any good maid-of-honor would do. She decides to head up to the wedding location spot, the Riggins family cabin, and see to it that everything is done and set up the way Aurora wants it. There’s just one glitch in the plan and that’s the snow storm and the fact that she’s trapped in the cabin with her sister’s soon to be brother-in-law, Conrad Riggins.

Conrad lived his life with a high playboy status and until recently he never found the need to settle down. But now that he’s watched three of his brother’s succumb to the inevitable magic, he feels he may be missing out on so much more. The club scene isn’t as enticing as it used to be, he wants what the older four males in his family has. He now sees a life with the white picket fences and a wife barefoot and pregnant with his baby. There’s one small problem, he hasn’t found his magic yet… Until he walks into the cabin and sets his eyes on his brother’s soon to be sister-in-law, Aspen.

Conrad’s about to realize finding his magic was the easy part of the equation. He now has to prove to Aspen he isn’t the playboy he once was. He has to show her he’s serious about her and their future together. He’ll do whatever it takes to prove to Aspen his heart is hers for the taking.

My Thoughts:

Oh my heart!!! Every time I’m in the mood for a sweet romance, I know in my heart of hearts I can find everything I want plus so much more by picking up a novel written by Kaylee Ryan. The Riggins brothers are proving themselves to be fantastic book boyfriends. I’m loving everything about this series!

Speaking of series, these books can all be read as standalones. However, having started the series with the third book and going on from there, I’m finding this series might be best read in book order. I’m fighting the urge to push all my April advanced copies to the side to binge this series! I need ALL of their stories!!!!

But back on topic… Touch By Touch was a phenomenal read. I loved the strong family bonds. I loved how this set of characters are there for one another through everything. If one has a problem you don’t have to look too far to find the family rushing in and helping. My heart felt so much joy while reading these moments.

One of my favorite settings in romance is when the love interests are snowed in. Especially when there was no attraction to begin with. Given that I live in Michigan, we spend five months on occasion, dealing with snow. So this trope works for me and I’m finding I love it more and more with each read.

Aspen wants exactly what her sister has with Grant. She not only wants the passion, the fire, and the chemistry; she also wants the security and the fact of knowing she found her soul. She wants the happily ever after with her own hero. And one of the main aspects I loved about Conrad and Aspen’s story is simple. She could have fallen into his arms after the snowed in the cabin moment, but no…. This woman made this man prove himself to her. She made him prove that he shed his playboy ways and he’s serious about their future. I loved how Aspen didn’t give in to the magic at first sight. This woman is officially a rockstar in my book!!

Overall, Out of the two books I read in the Riggins Brothers series, Aspen and Conrad’s story is my favorite….so far. We’ll see if that still sits the more I read. Gotta love these brothers and their stubbornness when it comes to getting what they want! I need more!!
