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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 5, 2016

Is she brave enough to give her heart to a man she only thought she knew?

He was the most charismatic man I’d ever met. Strong, tough, brave. Bold as hell. Something told me Tag Barton could have anything—anyone—he wanted…and he wanted me. It didn’t matter that he was wrong for me in practically every way possible. It didn’t matter that my father would hate it.

I couldn’t resist him. Even if I’d known who he really was and what he was really capable of.

When he suggested we pretend to be engaged, I thought he was the answer to all my problems. He wasn’t. And, in his wake, he left nothing but scorched earth and me, just another casualty of my father’s war.

Can I believe him now when he tells me he loves me? Or is he nothing more than a beautiful, breathtaking lie?

••••••••••

REVIEW: BRAVE ENOUGH is the third installment in M.Leighton’s adult, contemporary TALL, DARK AND DANGEROUS erotic, romance series. This is former Special Ops soldier/ winery foreman Tag Barton, and heiress/philanthropist Weatherly O’Neal’s story line. BRAVE ENOUGH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

Told from dual first person points of view (Weatherly and Tag) BRAVE ENOUGH is a fake fiancé/marriage of convenience trope that focuses on love and a lie from which there may be no return. Weatherly O’Neal is about to be forced into an arranged marriage by her family to keep her family’s billionaire dollar business afloat, and finds herself at the winery where she spent many of her summers growing up. Meeting sexy, handsome winery foreman Tag Barton throws all of Weatherly’s caution to the wind when her father’s plans for the future are interrupted by a man that Weatherly barely knows. What ensues is a story of insta lust/love that finds Tag harboring a secret that will destroy Weatherly’s heart. For this reader, Tag’s secret was easily deduced early on in the story.

The relationship between Tag and Weatherly begins upon a lie-a lie that Tag knows will break Weatherly’s heart and destroy any happiness that the future may bring. Weatherly is running from a forced marriage, and Tag is the perfect foil to prove to her father that she is not a business transaction for her father’s company. The $ex scenes are seductive, intense and hot. Tag knows how to please a woman both in and out of the bedroom.

The world building looks at family, betrayal, love and lies. Although Tag Barton is a former Special Ops soldier, there is little to no connection to the previous two story lines although Keifer Rogan and Katie Rydale (Tough Enough #2) make a cameo appearance both during and after Tag’s fall from grace. The story line focuses on one man’s need to protect his family and home-at all costs.

BRAVE ENOUGH is a sweet story line; a slow build to a happily ever after that sees two people finding love under difficult circumstances. The premise looks at promises of forever and betrayal of love; the characters are colorful, animated and heartbreaking; the romance is provocative and steamy. M.Leighton adds another wonderful story line to her library of go-to reads.
