I am always excited when I see this author has a new book coming out. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. This was the perfect slow burn with the best characters. This was a one sitting read. Can we talk about the chemistry between Tristan and Emily! Perfection1

My emotions are still all over the place. I thought I was prepared for this story but I was wrong. I forgot how Aly Martinez packs all the punches and hits me with all the feels. I devoured Alone with You. This was a heartbreakingly beautiful story of two broken people finding their way again. Truett and Gwen were everything! Their story was everything and more. It will break you and slowly start to put you back together. You will easily become so invested in these characters and their story. Easily one of my top reads for 2024. Go in blind and enjoy the journey, it’s so worth it. Absolutely loved this book!

I did not think I would like this book as much as the others. I wasn’t sure about Rossi character but her sure proved me wrong. This book was everything I was hoping for and more. Rossi and Sofia had the best chemistry and banter. They were easy to love once you learned a little more about them.

Big fan of Kelly Elliott! I have been looking forward to this book and being back in the Love in Montana world. This book brought out so many emotions and had me tearing up at times. There is nothing like a book that can pull all of that out of you. I adored Beck and was so happy he got what he has been looking for. Family is one of the best things there is. You will love Avery and Beck’s story. This was such a sweet read that I loved.

I am so excited for this new series! I absolutely loved this book and the characters. Hands down one of my favorite single dad book. I loved Weston so much. He had no problem jumping into dad mode. With his NFL friends he has a great support system to help him and they sure do. Sadie was easy to love she is very protective of her nephew. She slowly starts to let those walls down. Mad Love pulled me in from the first page and held me captive until the end. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
