Kelly Elliott - Strong Enough review

 


Strong Enough by Kelly Elliott is now live!


The fourth and final novel in New York Times bestselling author Kelly Elliott's Meet Me in Montana series fires up the passion in a story about forgiveness and finding your soul mate.


Dirk Littlewood had the world at his feet and a life he claimed to love. He was a world-champion bull rider with plenty of women to keep his nights busy and make his inner loneliness nothing but a delusion.

Dirk's life was exactly how he wanted it.

Until it wasn't.

The moment Merit Eden showed back up in Hamilton, Montana, everything was turned upside down. Life changed immediately and then tragedy struck.

Merit was the only woman who could bring Dirk to his knees--and the only woman who could heal his broken past. If only he'd let her in, they could heal each other in the process.

The only thing left for Dirk to do was figure out how to not only forgive himself, but accept forgiveness from the only woman he had ever truly loved...if only he was strong enough to withstand the heartbreak.

Strong Enough is a stand alone novel in the Meet Me in Montana series,

My Review

I was excited but sad to get this last book of the series. I've enjoyed these characters and was looking forward to Dirk and Merit's story. Dirk and Merit were friends, and good friends at that. Until one event changed everything. But neither one of them forgot about the other. Life brings Merit back to Montana, to her family's farm. And both Dirk and Merit get more than they bargain for. While the emotions were running high, the feelings hadn't gone away for either of them. I enjoyed the chemistry between them. The push/pull they had and how they got to know each other again. And they were there for each other in their hardest times. I couldn't read this book fast enough and I highly recommend it!

Willa Nash - The Bluff review

 

The Bluff by Willa Nash is now live!

As Calamity's newest resident, Everly Christian thought life in small-town Montana would be dull and tame--and she needs a little mundane after the last few chaotic years. But one night, boredom drives her to the local bar, where she finds herself sitting beside a handsome and mysterious artist.
The man is anything but dull and tame, especially in the bedroom, and when she steps out of his shower and overhears his conversation, life gets interesting again.
Reese Huxley needs a wife.
And why shouldn't Everly be the bride?
She's got her reasons for agreeing to the hasty nuptials--reasons she's keeping to herself. As long as she can stop herself from falling in love with her husband, she'll make it out of this sham marriage in one piece. But Everly has a weakness for wayward men, and the more Hux pushes her away, the more she realizes this bluff is anything but a lie.

My Review
Oh, I was so excited to go back to Calamity, Montana! Everly had been through a traumatic event and was hunkering down in Calamity while she figured life out. Hux was an unexpected distraction and the chemistry between these two *fans self* ... hott! I loved the push/pull between them and seeing how their relationship progressed. Everly was the last thing Hux wanted, but he couldn't deny what was there. When she offers to help him, it gives him a chance at something else he wanted. I loved how tough Everly is and how big her heart is. I was completely consumed by this book and read it in one setting. I couldn't put it down! I didn't want it to be over. Talk about a book hangover! I loved it!

Kristin Hannah - The Four Winds review

THIS BOOK!! WOW. Kristin Hannah did it again. It's deep, powerful and I couldn't put it down! This book wasn't a happy one, BUT it was a poignant story and relates to what is happening to our world right now with COVID-19. Times are hard for Elsa. In more ways than one but she is a strong woman. In fact, most of the women of her time were. Circumstances had her making decisions she didn't want to make. But she did it and with as much grace as she could. Times were hard and she did what she had to do. I was completely immersed in Elsa's story and Kristin brought ALL. THE. FEELS. This was truly a beautiful read and gave me a book hangover; 1st of 2021!






From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them.

“My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.”

Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows.

By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive.

In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

A Note from Laura:

Dear Readers, I’m so excited to share my new standalone romance, Fighting the Fire! This is the fourth book in my Warrior Fight Club contemporary romance series, which mixes military and sports romance elements to tell the story of an MMA training club which creates a found family for veterans transitioning to civilian life and dealing with their war-borne demons. In Fighting the Fire, Sean and Daniela are two of my favorite characters I've ever written--they're both strong, loyal, snarky, and hiding some pretty deep hurts that in the end make them so perfect for each other.

About Fighting the Fire:

One night is never enough… For firefighter Sean Riddick, Warrior Fight Club keeps the demons of his past at bay, even though it means seeing Daniela England. Her ball-busting sarcasm drives him nuts, and he knows he’s damaged goods anyway, but he can’t help but remember how good they were together that one time. Now he wants to take her to the mats no matter how much they go toe to toe. ER nurse Daniela England has lost so much that she’s vowed never to need anyone again. Fight club helps her beat back her survivor’s guilt, but it means dealing with Riddick. The hot-but-infuriating firefighter is everything she wants to avoid, which is why their one-night stand was a mistake. Now she needs to keep her distance so it doesn’t happen again. But when Dani witnesses Sean’s motorcycle accident, she steps up to help him recover. One on one, they get beneath all the snark and find a connection neither expected. As Sean heals, the sparks between them burst into red-hot passion—and ignite old wounds. Now there are fires all around—and they have to decide which they’ll fight and which they’ll let consume them.

Exclusive Excerpt:

As Daniela dropped her bag on the bleachers at Full Contact MMA, her bad day had her sighing. “Maybe I just need to beat the crap out of something—or someone.”   
  A warm breath at her ear was all the warning she got. “Got anyone in mind, Daniela?”   
  Sean Riddick said her name as if his tongue caressed every letter, and she cursed the shiver that raced up her spine—the shiver that resulted from knowing exactly how damn good his tongue felt. She turned slowly, lazily, as if she were bored to tears. No way was she letting him know he got to her. So she gave him a once-over that she hoped read as full of disdain.   
  Even though, damn. DAMN.   
  So tall she had to tilt her head back to roll her eyes at him. Dark hair cut short because it curled when he let it get even a little length to it. With scars near his eye and hairline and a nose that had been broken, his face was too beat up to be handsome. But it was even more interesting for having character—of the fearless, I-run-into-burning-buildings-to-save-people-and-sometimes-get-hurt-doing-it variety. And then there were the tattoos—on his neck, shoulders, arms, the back of one hand, not to mention the hard muscles underneath, because of course the guy was freaking cut, with shoulders like mountains and thighs like tree trunks. Sean oozed unquestionable strength and a fierce masculinity.   
  He knew he looked good.   
  He wasn’t wrong. Damn him.   
  And damn her for being stupid enough to find out just how good he was. Just that once.   
  But it’d been enough to keep her body attuned to him even as her head screamed been there, done that, shouldn’t have done it the first time and ain’t doing it again.   
  Dani sniffed. “Not you.”   
  His grin was pure wicked sin. “You sure about that?”   
  She sighed. “Absolutely.”   
  He gave a low chuckle. “Well, you’re welcome to try to beat the shit out of me any time.”   
  “Don’t you have anyone else to irritate?”   
  “Oh, I irritate you, do I?” he asked, dropping his bag to the floor. He winked at their friend, Tara. “Hey, T.”   
  “Hey, Sean,” Tara said, amusement plain in her voice.   
  Just then, one of the few other women who belonged to WFC walked through the door. “Oh, Jayne’s here,” Dani said, surprised because her friend hadn’t attended in weeks.   
  Without another word to Sean, Dani and Tara left him to greet her.   
  Halfway across the gym, Tara leaned in close. “Seriously, do you really dislike Riddick or are the two of you in a perpetual state of foreplay?”   
  Dani threw her a look that made the other woman chuckle. “Ugh, you really can’t tell?”   
  Tara twisted her lips and shook her head. “Nope. But something’s different between you guys lately, and I’m dying to know the story.”   
  “There’s no story,” Dani said. Probably too fast. Definitely too fast, given that Tara had also picked up on the heightened friction between them. Because, of course, there was a big freaking story.   
  So. Big.
