NEVER ENOUGH is the first book in the MEET ME IN MONTANA series, and I can’t wait to read more. Southerners Lincoln and her best friend, Kaylee, arrive in Montana for Lincoln to take a new job. Their lives are turned upside-down, especially when they meet the Shaw Brothers, hot cowboys that have them turning inside out.

Lincoln had to leave home and a well-connected father who seemed to do everything for her. She decided she needs to stand on her own two feet and prove to herself that she’s good at what she does.

Brock, a widower with a five-year old son and a lot of guilt,is a professional bull rider and world champion. He sells her his house on a piece of land that used to be part of his family’s ranch. When not traveling, he lives in another house he built on the ranch with his son, Blayze. However, Blayze normally lives with Brock’s parents and spends time with Brock’s brothers. Blayze is a cute kid, wise beyond his years, and adds another dimension to the story.

There’s a lot of anger in Brock, and much of the time it’s directed at Lincoln. Yet she’s a soothing balm for him, and they have electricity whenever they are together. Lincoln fits in with his family and is wonderful with his son. The family dynamics definitely add heart to the romance.

There are wonderful descriptions of bull-riding, in which we are totally immersed. NEVER ENOUGH has plenty of family and friends, drama, and a stellar romance. I look forward to reading more books in this series!

Thank you for the ARC.

I’m a sucker for single parent books and this was book just what I need it.
Hot bull rider as a hero, feisty heroine, adorable kid, small town feel.

This book was really cute, feel good, fast paced romance. My first by this author and I’m looking forward to read more books by her.

LOVED THIS!!!!!

Kelly does it again. Always does. Over and over and over again!

I absolutely love and adore all of her books, this one was no different!

Loved the story line for this book as well as the character flow. I have been a fan of this author since her first book and this one did not disappoint. I enjoyed the concept and the level of the angst/drama that was involved.

The first book of the new series. In this one, Lincon wants to start her life one her own turns and she moves in Montant in a former house from Brook the bull-rider. Brook has a lot of baggage and guilt from the past will he be able to overcome all for Lincoln? I have mixed feelings about the book I liked that it has its funny moments, both Brook and Lincoln are ok characters their love story is just a little bit predictable it could be more developed she just falls all to fast for him. The story about the family drama and I am waiting to see how will another from Shows brother fall in love.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

Having never read a ‘cowboy’ book before I was a little hesitant, but this had some great reviews and it didn’t disappoint!

From the start, it’s a heartbreaking story to read, young bull racer, Brock Shaw, has lost his beloved wife and has a young son who he leaves at home with his parents while he competes. He clearly loves his son greatly but can’t cope with his own emotions and come to terms with his wife’s death, which he blames himself for.

Then Lincoln Pratt, an interior designer from out of town arrives and buys Brock’s old house. They get off to a bad start, but she falls in love with Brocks son and family instantly!

The characters are well developed and very loveable, it’s easy to feel involved with them right from the beginning. Quite an emotional book that had me hooked and wanting to read more of Kelly Elliott’s books!

If you are a fan of cowboy, romance, realistic happily-ever-after stories then this is definitely the read for you!

I absolutely adored this book by Kelly Elliott. Never Enough was wonderfully done. I would highly recommend this book!!

Brock and Lincoln story is so beautifully written. A story of overcoming your passed. Creating a new you, future. And little Blayze is so cute! I cant wait to read more of the meet me in Montana series. I loved it and cant recommend this book enough.

‘Never Enough’ is the first book in her brand new ‘Meet Me in Montana’ series. If you love the classic Kelly Elliott cowboy/romance/realistic happily-ever-after stories that will make you feel like you’re being loved each time you turn a page, Never Enough is the book for you.

Also if like me you’re a fan of ‘The Longest Ride’ and Scott Eastwood’s character of Luke Collins, you’ll be finding it hard to resist this book! As did I from just the mere sight of the super attractive, brightly colourful book cover and later of course, the enticing blurb.

As outlined in the book’s description, the story follows Brock Shaw, a bull rider, and Lincoln Pratt, an interior designer. Two people completely on opposing ends of life’s spectrum in chances of meeting, getting together with, and making it work with one another. One’s bull-headed, so to speak, with the intention of keeping his job, family and head all in balance. The other, well she’s looking for a new start and the town of Hamilton, Montana, seems to be that place. It just so happens to be the place where Brock is, and where second chances lie. But are they enough?

From the very first page, it’s clear that this write would be an emotional one to read. Thankfully, for the good. Again outlined within the book’s description, Brock’s young son, much like his strapping rider of a father, will have you falling instantly head-over-boots with his childlike charm, innocence and personality. One thing among many to commend Kelly as a writer, is her admirable and amazing talent to write charming, unforgettable child characters into her stories that make you want to reach right into the pages and hug them yourselves. As well as chuckle a time or two. Much like I did with Chloe from ‘Love At First Sight’, book one in the Southern Brides Series.

Outlined at the beginning of this review, the overall feel of ‘Never Enough’ to me, had a feel of the movie ‘The Longest Ride’ about it. As the movie means so much and has been ingrained into my heart forever, I was pleasantly happy and surprised to see parallels within this book, to the movie itself. Namely, the parallels between Brock’s bull riding, his personality parallel to that of Luke Collins within the movie, as well as the promise that after a dramatic climax has been reached, you’re guaranteed a pull-on-the-heartstrings, soppy, southern happily ever after. If there’s one thing I like about Kelly’s book and the intertwining themes with The Longest Ride in this case, is the relatability as I’ve often said in previous reviews. Kelly has this unique ability to make each story her own, much like the characters, while still making you feel like you can relate to one or more characters, the story, or find a parallel or two. The twinned, seamless mesh of creative flair and relatability ooze from this book to the point I couldn’t put it down. A five star book quality right there.

Switching now to character development and progression, Never Enough had it in spades. And not in the traditional, stereotypical way. Normally, the focus of a character showing hesitancy, vulnerability or heightened emotions falls to that of a lead female character. This time, it is refreshingly the opposite. Wanting to both raise his son, please his family, fight his morals and thoughts on letting another into his heart, Brock is the one stepping into the limelight to show that it isn’t just women who are usually left showing they’re the ones fighting all of the above. I don’t read a lot of books where this is done so expertly, thoughtfully and respectfully towards men. Another point for Kelly and Never Enough.

The only negative thing that I would have to say about Never Enough, is that there were never enough pages left in each chapter to keep the story going so I could read and enjoy these characters, and their stories, for as long as possible. Every single fibre of this book made me scream for more, from wanting to learn more about bull riding and PBR (aside from what I’ve picked up from The Longest Ride), to getting to know a few of the supporting characters a little more, to cheering on when each character experiences a heartfelt high, and wiping tears away at the lows. Never Enough, echoing a tell-tale sign of a Kelly Elliott hit, a classic staple and must-read, is wishing that every time you turned a page, there would be more waiting for you on the other side to tempt you all over again.

As a Kelly Elliott fan for life, I’m telling ya’ll right here and now that no matter what your normal book preference is, weather you’re a bull riding, PBR fan or not, romance lover or not, you’ll find yourself hard-pressed not to be reaching for that pre-order button to enjoy a story that will have you rosining your rope, holding on tight, and for a lot longer than eight seconds.

Five stars Kelly. You did it again!

This brought me back to Kelly’s OG book... Wanted. And not in a good way.
I wasn’t crazy about Wanted and unfortunately I wasn’t crazy about this one. Which is a serious bummer because I love Kelly! Her books are awesome and I feel so giddy when I open a new one!

This romance ticked off all the things I love about this genre. A book that I can sit down with and fall into the story and lives of all the characters immediately. Also, a strong, but wounded hero, add cowboy and single dad, to reel me in and a strong heroine who stands up to and takes no bull from this bull rider, but wants to heal his heart. The sex scenes are smokin’ hot, but not gratuitous. All the family and secondary characters were fully fleshed and add depth to this story. I am looking forward to seeing them in future books in this series.

I can highly recommend this second chance contemporary cowboy romance. I am looking forward to more books in this series and by this author. (less)

The Details:
- 18+
- Book 1 in Meet Me in Montana standalone series
- Contemporary/Small Town Romance
- Emotional Rollercoasting Reading
- Addictive Reading

First up, let me say that as soon as I finished reading this book, I immediately started making plans to binge read her impressive backlist of books. I own all of them and am happily planning spending the next couple of months reading through them all because after reading this sweet, heartwarming, emotional book, I just don't want to leave the world(s) that Kelly Elliott has created.

This book had me hooked as soon as I read the blurb and I started to look forward to reading it. Nevertheless, life got in the way and it wasn't until a few days ago that I found the time to sit down and read this book and I was immediately immersed into the story.
I love the characters in this new series and I can't wait to read the next book.
Thank you for another fantastic read Kelly Elliott!

Never Enough is the first book in the Meet Me in Montana series. I have to say I have been waiting for this book since the day Kelly Elliott announced she was writing a bull riding story, and it did not disappoint. It was everything I hoped it would be.

Brock Shaw lost his wife five years ago and the guilt over that haunts him. He's been raising his son while he's home and leaving Blayze with his parents while he travels on the PBR circuit. Finding love isn't at all on his radar. He's shut off his heart from loving another woman, until he meets the woman who’s purchased the house he had with his wife. There is something about Lincoln Pratt that shakes him to his core.

Lincoln Pratt needed to put some distance between her and her family. She loves them but she needed to gain control over her life and moving to Montana seemed like the perfect idea. After purchasing a house she loved, she and her best friend, Kaylee, made the drive to her new beginning. What she wasn't expecting was that the house’s previous owner was a complete ass and he was the most gorgeous man she's ever seen. She didn't know how to take the glare he was sending her way or the way her belly flipped with just a smirk.

Brock may have taken over the number one spot for the swooniest lead in a Kelly Elliott book. I absolutely loved everything about this read. Brock was sexy and broken. The chemistry between Brock and Lincoln is exactly what a love story should be. Blayze is adorable. If you are a Kelly Elliott fan, you'd be crazy not to pick this one up, and if you've never read this author, it would be a perfect place to start!!

This was a new to me author and I am so happy that I gave her a chance. Such a good storyline! Really enjoyed the characters and how they interacted throughout the book. Will definitely be reading more!

Then this is the book for you!✨

I am so late to the game with this review. This is a new to me author and I am in awe. The book was written so beautifully, pulling all sorts of emotions. It will start you off with a smile. You will laugh out loud. You’ll feel heartache. It will at times be steamy. And it all flows so well that you wont want to put it down.✨

The author did a really great job at building these characters and showing their personalities. You not only get to know the main couple but the whole family. And they are the sweetest! I really enjoyed the best friend relationship between Lincoln and Kaylee. They reminded me so much of my relationship with my best friend. Their banter was a highlight of this book!✨
.
The way the author built up the relationship between Lincoln and Brock was perfect. It was quick but at the same time slow. I loved that Lincoln was a strong feisty heroine. It’s not often you see the roles reversed in a sense- with the hero having the trauma in his past that holds him and the relationship back. But it was perfect. I don’t usually read cowboy romance. Some can be pretty over the top. This one was perfect. If your like me and not really into cowboy romance, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try. It was too enjoyable! I am really looking forward to reading more of this authors work! If memory serves me correctly she has the next book in this series coming out in April! I can’t wait!✨

Thank you to @netgalley for providing me with the complimentary copy for my honest review.✨

What is it about Kelly Elliot’s romance that captures you? I Have no clue! The only thing that I know is that whenever I start one of her books, it’s impossible to put it down.

This book was no exception, Brock and Lincoln story was sweet, funny and heartbreaking all in one.

Lincoln is trying to get some independence from her parents, she has been under their shadow for far too long, and now she needs to become who she was always supposed to be, without their help.

Brock has been going through life avoiding real commitments and love, he is not ready to let anyone close to him again. After what happened the last time he did, he is not risking destroying someone else’s life again.

That is until he sees her, she captures him and without even knowing why, he starts changing into a new person, someone that believes in love and want to trust that he can open his heart again and this time around it won’t be disastrous.

Lincoln is fascinated by Brock, he is a mystery and on top of that he is irresistible. Can she overlook all the craziness that seems to come out every time he feels threatened or will she just settle for something easier?

Brock deserves a second chance, but he is the only one that has the power to make it happen, to let go of his fears and take a chance on her. And maybe then, him and his son will finally have that missing piece they have been looking for.

Once again Kelly Elliott has blown me away with her new cowboy romance! I love how she makes her characters so real and personable. Her countryesque books always capture my attention and have me turning the pages for more

4.5 stars

I really enjoyed Never Enough by Kelly Elliott and a lovely start to the Meet Me in Montana series.

*Thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the ARC *

Never Enough is the first book in Kelly Elliott's new series Meet Me in Montana. The story is heartwarming, family, second chance at love, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Brock is so swoon-worthy, a bit of a jerk, and dealing with loss, bull rider, single father. Lincoln is sweet and caring, she's starting a new adventure, interior designer, and when she meets this rugged cowboy, she doesn't know whether to lasso him, or strangle him. So much chemistry, I surprised my kindle didn't start fire. I liked the best friends, and family dynamics, they added some funny moments. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This is the first time reading a book from this author and now I'm a fan. Never Enough is full heartbreak, but also very heartwarming and had plenty of humor. I connected with all the characters and especially loved Blayze. The main characters Brock and Lincoln had perfect chemistry the day they met - even though Brock was a jerk!

I'm hoping to get more book with the Shaw brothers down the road.
