ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 6,2024

Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she’s been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.

•••••

REVIEW:LOVED ENOUGH is the fifth instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IN MONTANA erotic, romance series-a next generation, spin off from the author’s MEET ME IN MONTANA series. This is ranch hand Maverick Prescott, and Lily Shaw’s story line. LOVED ENOUGH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. You do not have to have read the original series to follow or understand.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lily and Maverick) LOVED ENOUGH follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. When Lily’s life long best friend and crush Ben announced his impending marriage to another woman, Lily was sad but not as devastated as she thought she would be. Seeing an opportunity at a mutual wedding, Shaw family rancher Maverick Prescott asked Lily to dance but within hours Maverick would fall ill, and Lily would become nursemaid and protector of our story line hero. Several days together would turn into something more but something of which Maverick struggles to accept. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between our Maverick and Lily, as Maverick continues to believe he is not worthy of Lily’s love.

The world building focuses on the growing relationship between our story line couple; the hard work and potential threats to a large horsing ranch, and the potential for heart break as Maverick struggles with demons from the past.

The relationship between Maverick and Lily begins as friends although Maverick has been in love with Lily from the first time they met. Knowing Lily was pining after her childhood friend, Maverick would watch from the sidelines as Lily finally accepted there would be nothing more. As Lily and Maverick’s relationship continues to grow, the past returns demanding another chance. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and fun secondary and supporting characters from both of the aforementioned series including Lily’s parents Tanner and Timberlynn, her uncles Brock and Ty, several cousins, as well as her ex best friend Ben.

LOVED ENOUGH is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is delightful and lively; the characters are sassy, animated and determined; the romance is seductive and spicy.
