Sweet Home Montana is such a really good read. Author Lynne Marshall gives us a wonderful clean romance that touches the hearts of reminds us that we need to gather our family together if possible. Wade and his half brother haven't grown up together and now he is needed to help the 15 yr old while their dad and the step mom is out of the country. The boys end up meeting a gal who they both have eyes for. Let's just say there is lots of story there. I enjoyed so much of this book from the critters to the chili cook off ... and even the way the siblings interacted. Really good read. It's plumb.
The power of forgiveness is strong on this return trip to Charity, Montana! With the next in her beloved series, Lynne Marshall brings us the story of two hearts who each have had their share of despair and disappointment in their lives but who both happen to be at a point where they can see that it's time to move past the bitterness to see how bright the future is on the other side. The characters spend time together connecting with his brother, and in turn confide in each other about the past. Their courtship only officially starts at the end of the book, but we're left believing they've found their soul mate. Subtle, sweet and satisfying! Wade Conrad didn't really expect to find himself back home in Montana right about now. He left the turmoil of home when it was time to head to college and basically never looked back. Years have passed and he's held onto his grudges, right or wrong. When his father reaches out to him to see if he can home and spend a little time with his little brother, he finds it hard to resist. He doesn't really know Brent, and the more time they spend together, the more he realizes he needs some help connecting with him. A recommendation to the Healing Heart Acres equestrian therapy center turns out to work wonders! Erin Chase has been volunteering at the center for a few years now. She was drawn to the area when her fiancee unexpectedly called off the wedding and left her feeling lost and overwhelmed. She enjoys the comfort of the country air, the gentleness of the animals and the satisfaction helping others brings to her. When she meets Wade and his brother, the attraction between them is quick to flare, but he's returning to California soon. Is there any hope for a future if they give in to temptation?

If, like me, you enjoy small town community setting for delightful, heartwarming romance, look no further - go grab yourself a copy of this lovely book to read! Set in Charity, Montana, Erin Chase returned there after her fiancé called off their wedding, leaving her heartbroken and with everything to sort out. She’s working as an equine therapist at Healing Heart Acres and, although she’s there to help others, it has also helped her to heal, too. When Wade Conrad brings his sullen teenage half-brother, Brent, to the centre Wade is so relieved when she actually manages to break through to the teen and encourages him to join in events and activities at the centre. There’s attraction between them but Wade’s only there for a couple of months to look after Brent, is it worth taking a chance on love? This is a splendid story involving half brothers getting to know each other, sibling rivalry, horses, therapy, healing and romance. It is an engaging read with laugh out loud moments, a cooking contest and plenty of wariness and uncertainty before the dramatic confession and possibility of a HEA. I have no hesitation in highly recommending it to anyone who enjoys reading of family dramas and healing as well as romance. I requested and was given a copy of this book, via NetGalley. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it.
I can really picture this book becoming a movie on the Hallmark channel. There is the pretty, compassionate girl who offers troubled people help and hope through an equestrian therapy program, a handsome man who reluctantly agrees to spend a few months with a younger half-brother he barely knows and a troubled teenager who initially balks at receiving attention from his half-brother. Include a teenage crush on this pretty but older therapist with the older brother's interest in the same woman and you know that trouble is guaranteed. Add the two adults who both have been hurt by past relationships, stir in their undeniable attraction for each other and you have the perfect recipe for a wonderful romance until.... the older brother puts his feelings on hold so that his relationship with his brother isn't jeopardized. Suddenly, nothing is easy and the road to romance and happiness becomes filled with many bumps along the way and perhaps a dead end! I truly enjoyed watching Erin and Wade progress from friendship to something more. Wade's initial reluctance to be with his half-brother was the result of his own parent's divorce and it was heartwarming to watch the relationship between Wade and Brent evolve. Author Lynne Marshall has an amazing talent of creating characters who are likeable and believable, she puts them in situations that are intriguing but realistic and places them in settings that make you want to visit. Sweet Home Montana is a romantic, feel-good story and it may make you wish that Charity, Montana was your own home sweet home! I received a complimentary digital copy but a positive review wasn't required. These are my honest opinions.
Sweet Home Montana is book three from the Charity, Montana series. I enjoyed this sweet story. I felt connected to Erin Chase from the start. I love that she worked at a horse therapy center. What a unique profession! I love it when she was interacting with Wade. I give Sweet Home Montana four and a half stars. I want to go back and read the other books in the series in the near future. I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
Very enjoyable sweet read. It has a pleasing storyline and it's well written. Loved all the characters especially Wade and how hard he tries with his brother. Erin and Wade's romance is slow and sweet making everything completely believable and fun to read. I definitely recommend.
Sweet Home Montana is book number three in the Charity Montana series by Lynne Marshall. This is Wade Conrad and Erin Chase’s story. I really loved Wade and Erin’s story. Their characters were so much fun. Brent, Wade’s half brother, was a great addition to the story too. This is a sweet slow burn romance. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Sweet Home Montana is the third book in Lynne Marshall’s Charity, Montana series. This was a heartwarming romance that really told a good story. It delved into Wade Conrad and Erin Chase’s backstory. It’s been a long time since I read a book where I really got to know to the characters and I so enjoyed that! Wade had issues stemming all the way back to his parents’ divorce while Erin’s centered around trust, specifically that of a man. I enjoyed watching both characters deal with their pasts, especially Wade as he developed a relationship with his half-brother, Brent. Sweet Home Montana is a book for anyone. I learned a lot about equine therapy which I something I am interested in. I recommend reading this book and the other books in the series. I’d like to disclose that I received an advanced copy which I chose to read and review. This is my true and honest opinion.
Sweet Home Montana by Lynne Marshall. A great addition to The Charity, Montana series. I enjoyed the small town, the connection between the characters, dialogue and storyline. A heart-warming story that pulled me in.
