Montana Welcome: A Clean Romance

Lily Harrison is set to marry her BFF when she overhears her fiancé and dad talking. She finds out that her dad has basically guilted, coerced her BFF into marrying her. She then discovers he doesn’t even love her as a man should love his soon to be wife. Devastated, she runs. As she’s trying to sort out her feelings and come up with an escape plan, she’s approached by an older gentleman and a cowboy. They confirm the mystery surrounding her birth certificate and offer her the opportunity to find out who she “really” is... Conner Hannah, a horse whisperer and trainer, put his dreams aside to go to work at Blackwell Ranch. After a crushing injury, he decided to pursue a stable job, so that he could provide for his disabled mother. While working for the Blackwell’s provides stability, it’s not his true passion. Driving across the country in a trailer home with three women is definitely not fulfilling. Although, it does provide him the opportunity to get to know Lily better... There were so many things I loved about this novel. It wasn’t your typical runaway bride novel. Lily has had a lifetime of snap decisions, adventures, and thrills. After being injured during an adventure, Lily’s family treated her with “kid” gloves. But not Conner. He let her decide when to ask for help and allowed her to think for herself. For Lily, this was empowering! Lily’s ability to get Conner to see his true passion and believe in himself🥰🥰🥰. His love and interactions with his mom were heartwarming. Lastly, I LOVED all the road trip adventures! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Montana Welcome is the first of the series and I really enjoyed this book. It is a story of a runaway bride who overheard her best friend, who was her groom to be, and her father talking, and realised that he didn’t really love her as a husband should. Just as she was about to flee her wedding, she found out that her father was not her biological father, and she actually had a whole other family in Montana. As she fled her wedding with her newly found grandfather’s ranch hand Conner, she experienced a completely different life, starting with a road trip. It was interesting to follow them on the road trip as Lily discovered more about herself and realised what she wanted and needed. It was heartwarming to see how they fell in love. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

So fantastic to be back with the Blackwell family again! Even if you didn't read the first series of the Blackwell family, you can certainly read this book and get caught up! The author puts enough in this book for the new reader to understand what's going on! Imagine it's your wedding day and you feel something is "off". You are not madly in love with your intended groom for one thing and then you overhear your groom telling your father that he's not really in love with you! Oops! Red Flag Warning!!!! However, your groom has been your best friend forever and you aren't sure what to do! Well, an older man and a quite handsome cowboy (Connor) enter the room where you are and tell you that you need to "go with them" and they'll take care of everything! Would you do it? Lily does it! Crazy, I know, but Lily just found out that her "father" wasn't really her biological father and she wants to meet her new family so off she goes in search of them! Connor and Lily have quite the adventure in a wacko motor home on their way to Montana and they pick up a cousin along the way too. I adored Connor right away. This story was funny, sweet, tender and had all the right emotions for a wonderful story! Can't wait for the next book already!
