Brave Enough (Love in Montana 3) by Kelly Elliott -review tour

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 29, 2023

Hunter Shaw is handsome, charming, and a minor celeb on the collegiate team roping circuit. Not to mention, he looks damn fine in a cowboy hat. So it’s no surprise when he’s ardently pursued to be the star on a new streaming network’s debut program—a reality dating show. The money on offer would do wonders for his family’s charity, but it’s only after catching a glimpse of the show’s host that he’s all-in. The former Ms. Montana catches his eye and his interest…inconvenient, to say the least, when he’s about to date twenty women on national television.

Kipton Howse also desperately needs the money from hosting Swipe Right, but for different reasons. With barely a glance at the contract, she signs on for the two-month shoot. She’ll do her job, collect her payment, then put Shaw Ranch in her rearview. Of course, she didn’t count on loving the place so much…or the entire Shaw family…or Hunter himself. From the moment they meet, sparks fly, and they only get hotter as the show continues, despite a houseful of women vying for his attention.

Sexual tension is at an all-time high when things take a dramatic turn, both on and off the cameras, thanks to the show’s rabid fans—who vote to shake things up in a way no one saw coming. It’s safe to say Kipton and Hunter’s sizzling attraction is no longer a secret. But at least one contestant isn’t ready to admit defeat.

After all…what’s reality TV without a bit of drama?

REVIEW:BRAVE ENOUGH is the third instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, new adult LOVE IN MONTANA romance series-a spin off from the author’s MEET ME IN MONTANA series. This is twenty-two year old, college students, roper/rancher Hunter Shaw, and Kipton Howse’s story line. BRAVE ENOUGH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hunter and Kipton) BRAVE ENOUGH follows the building but forbidden relationship between Kipton and Hunter. Hunter Shaw is a minor celebrity on the rodeo circuit and has been approached to star in a ‘Bacheloresque’ style reality show called ‘Swipe Right’, wherein Hunter would swipe left or right after a series of dates with twenty desperate but beautiful women. Hoping to donate the money to his father’s charity, Hunter agrees to the show but continues to struggle with unreality of reality tv. Meanwhile, former Miss Montana Kipton Howse has been hired to be the official host of ‘Swipe Right’, a host who is about to attract the attention of our story line hero. Weeks before the studio commences the show, Hunter will be introduced to Kipton Howse, and the sparks will fly between our story line couple. As the show and contestants begin to spiral out of control, someone new and familiar is thrown into the mix. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Kipton and Hunter, and the potential fall-out as everything becomes too much, too soon and too real.

The world building continues to focus on the tight-knit Shaw family: the relationship dynamics, the love, the friendships and the source of support for our story line couple. Everyone, including the production staff, recognize there is a definite spark between Hunter and Kipton, a spark that does not go unnoticed by everyone concerned.

The relationship between Kipton and Hunter begins as working acquaintances to friends to lovers but both have signed contracts and agreed to follow the rules of the show. With Hunter’s parents and family aware of the couple’s mutual attraction, a secret rendezvous is set into motion to push our couple together. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a very large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic, interesting and familiar secondary and supporting characters including both Kipton and Hunter’s extended families; the crew and cast of ‘Swipe Right’, and the introduced of twenty female contestants..each of whom garnered an appearance throughout the story.

BRAVE ENOUGH is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; support and comfort, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is amusing, inviting and realistic; the characters are sassy, sexy and sensitive; the romance is spicy and emotional.
