A best friend’s brother stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a girl who falls pregnant by the wrong man and the cowboy who takes her in…I've crushed on my best friend's brother for years. He's a six-foot-three, dark-haired cowboy who works on his family's ranch and sends butterflies to my stomach anytime he looks at me. But he's never made a move, so I need to get over it. Except, when he reads a text message about me liking a mysterious guy, he snaps and demands answers. Little does he know, it's my code name for him.

Tripp and Magnolia are irresistible. They have been secretly crushing on each other since high school. Years of flirting and finally one of Tripps brothers breaks the worst kept secret. Once these two stop there is no stopping them. When Magnolia finds out she’s pregnant with her ex’s baby Tripp never once stops loving her every step of the way.
I absolutely adored these two, and their chemistry was melt worthy. Who knew the quiet cowboy had such a dirty mouth while also a big old cinnamon roll. Tripp’s devotion and love for Magnolia was present in every single interaction with her from day one, and the pureness of it kept me hooked the whole time.
Okay do not let the audio of this book slip through your fingers! It’s a 5 star listen. Savannah Peachwood and Aiden Snow are the perfect cast for this amazing book!!

I wanted the fairy tale. Was that too much to ask? The attractive man with his life fully together, who loved me. Babies. The white picket fence. But men had other ideas. They wanted to waste my time and all my good eggs. They didn’t want to commit. They wanted to sleep at my house, eat my food, and have a mommy bang maid. They wanted me to be their mommy and never complain about it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 327
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 244
Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Perfection.

Every time I pick up a Tijan book I’m always left with a book hanger over. Mara we before, but barely knew and boy was she more than I expected. From high school mean girl to this amazing complex strong woman. Who overcame so much. Cruz is her perfect hockey match. These two started at a benefits only situation and slowly grew into such an amazing happily every after. They grew and healed so much individually it was just beautiful in a way only Tijan could do. Then to throw in the best casting to bring this story to life. Conor and Desire were perfection to an already amazing story.

Reviewed: 08-28-23
Come with me was my first book By Brooke Montgomery and I did not want it to end at all. The prequel captures you on the first page and kept me listening any free moment I could find. Ayden and his huge heart and southern charm and dirty mouth was everything a girl could want. Bradley Ford narrating Ayden was just perfection. Laney is my favorite type of heroine strong, independent but open to love. CJ Bloom is one of my favorite narrators and her Texas accent was perfection. Don’t let your ears sleep on this book.

Perfect narrators
Reviewed: 02-07-23
When I tells you Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter were the perfect pick for narrators I’m not lying. Palmer is a single mom surviving day to day. Cole just retired from being a pro baseball player and not sure what’s next. He fell in love with Palmer sr first sigh, and I think I did too. The way Cole let her lead the way in their relationship was my absolute favorite. The way he fell in love with Palmers son as much as he fell in love with her was the icing on top this perfect cake. Such an amazing standalone. Do not let this book sit in your tbr start now.

Wow. I am sitting here with my jaw on the floor. This is my favorite Catherine book to date. Oh my sweet sweet holt. I think I'm in love. Are we sure he is fictional?? To say this book left me completely shocked with the twists and turns, I can't even put it into words. It's been a long time since a book has left me completely speechless. Run to buy this book and audio as soon as you can. You will not be able to put it down or stop listening. Hands down my number 1 read of January and the new year!
The icing on the cake of this amazing book is the perfection that is these narrators, no one could have played more perfect Holt and Wren than Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt. These two captured the raw feelings these charters worth through with perfection

Damaged. Broken. Destroyed. I’ve heard it all. A single moment of trusting the wrong person shattered my life into pieces, and my family has never looked at me the same. It’s impossible to convince them that I’m anything more than the broken girl they rescued all those years ago. Until I meet him. Ramsey’s grumpy demeanor and menacing scowl scare most of the world away. But not me. Not when I’ve seen his gentle hands soothe an abused colt or comfort a terrified mare.

Erin Mallon and Joe Arden were the perfect match to bring Shiloh and Ramsey to life. When I read this book I feel in love but these two bringing them to life over audio took a 5 star book and made it more than that.
I have been dying for Shiloh's story since we met her in tattered stars and the wait for her to be last did not disappoint. When we met Ramsey in the last book I knew I would love him and boy oh boy do I love Ramsey.
Both Shiloh and Ramsey harbor pain and suffering they experienced as children, with that came a connection to each other and a gift with horses. These two lost and broken souls were the definition of soul mates. Each broken in different ways but together they are whole and perfect with a connection that runs so deep. There is os much I want to say about these two and their story but I will not ruin are the healing, surprises and suspense for the next person.
This book was everything I love about Catherine's writing and is now my number one favorite. Everyone needs to read this book and bring the magic that is Shiloh and Ramsey into their lives.

These two’s used to be friends, Calder taught Hadley to chase the stars, before tragedy changed everything. And let me tell you I had no idea the twits and turns this story was going to have and I loved every single second.
