Zach and Gabriella's story was absolutely delightful, as with all the Montgomery Brothers books. This is one of my favorite authors.
#ImAGroupie & not afraid to show it. Those Montgomery boys... yum.

Zach is a grouchy, injured man. He was in a climbing accident that has him holed up in his home, growling at everyone, not caring about his rehab... until his assistant Gabriella is sent in to kick him into gear. When you're in close quarters with an attractive man, are you going to give in to temptation? Who wouldn't. Their chemistry is so fun to watch. The more you read of the Montgomery family, the more you grow to love them all. They might sometimes look a little rough, but they're gentlemen that make you swoon. Gabriella is an admirable woman. I would recommend this series in a heartbeat to any romance lover.

I received a copy of this story from the publisher via Edelweiss for an honest review.

DNF. I just couldn't get into this novel ... I had to force myself to read up to the 38% mark but couldn't get further. Gabriella and Zach were just to dense with their own feelings and the personal situations going on around them.

Sorry.

I adore Samantha Chase and her books. I don't know what I will do if she ever stops writing. Each and every one of them brings something different.

I'll Be There is another great read from Samantha Chase. I don't know what it is about her books that I love so much, but I do. Well no, wait, that is not quite true. It is that she makes these characters that I just can't help but fall in love with. Every new book, every new character, I am just so excited to read. I am always up for finding new beloved friends in these stories.

If you have read Meant for You, Ethan and Summer's story, then you have already been introduced to Zach and Gabriella. Zach was injured on a climb at the end of that story, and this one picks up when he is at home trying to recover. He was always a cranky person, always grumbly and not to nice to be around, but now he is even worse. He is so set on not letting anyone see that he is having problems, that he might need help, that he is not the same person he used to be, he pushes away everyone. He is just giving up, not really living, not really trying, just not in a good spot.

Gabriella is Zach's assistant and has been for years. She used to love working for him, but then one day everything changed. She actually had a huge crush on him until he came into the office one day and had turned into the angry guy she now has to deal with. But she knows him, she knows how to deal with his moods and everything, and she still cares for him. When he had his accident that was a horrible time for her. She was so worried about him, but he was even worse towards her than normal. When his family comes to her asking her to help get Zach back on his feet she cannot say no. Even though he doesn't deserve it she still wants the best for him.

Gabriella is tasked with trying to get Zach involved in his business again. She goes over to his house to try and get him up and running. She is amazing. Really. She puts up with way more than anyone should. Zach is absolutely horrible to her in the beginning. The problem? Well Zach has always had a thing for Gabriella and he doesn't think she reciprocates his feelings. He has been trying to hide them behind his gruff exterior and now he especially doesn't want her around. I mean alone in his home with his very temptation? No good can come of that. Add in that he is recovering and doesn't want anyone to see him struggle, especially not Gabriella, and Zach acts out in horrible ways.

At first it is hard to see how these two will be able to figure everything out and get to their happily ever after. When everything comes out, when Zach realizes that something he thought was true, something he thought happened didn't, he has to take a step back and reevaluate everything. And try to win Gabriella's heart if it is not too late. He did a huge change which was great to see, but still hard to keep up with. He still wasn't perfect, there were still issues to overcome, but he started trying again which was great to see.

For her part Gabriella has some things to overcome as well. Her family is a nightmare and man if I were her I wouldn't ever speak to them either. She still has hangups from things they have said and done and there are some rough patches in the story. There were times when I just wanted to scoop her up and make her see how wonderful she really is. This was a really great read. Zach and Gabriella were amazing together and I didn't want it to end. Once Zach gets back on track he could be really sweet. I loved them both. Another great story from this amazing author.

This sweet feel good story is heartwarmingly comfortable and a romantic page turner! I loved reading and following along the characters sweet love story! I loved this book! An addictive read!

I love Chase's Montgomery Brothers series... and reading Zach and Gabrielle's story gAve a few hours of pleasure. 5 stars
