ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 7, 2025
Nathan Shaw has been keeping a secret since high school. It was so tightly intertwined with someone else’s that exposing the darkest facts meant he couldn’t keep the other to himself.
He’s had years of holding onto those truths. This also means he’s had to push away the one person who means more to him than anything—and in the process, all it does is make her think that he despises her like all of the other people in her life.
But that’s so far from the truth about his feelings that he holds so close to his heart.
Haven Larson has had an awful childhood growing up with an abusive father and a mother who tries her best, but sometimes the best can’t protect you from the monsters that hide in darkness.
One night, protecting her from those monsters, fell on the one boy she had loved for as long as she could remember. And now she knows that he can’t stand to be around her after discovering her secrets—or can he, because every time they are together, the sparks ignite and threaten to combust.
But it will take their darkest secrets being exposed in order for their feelings to come to light.
Devoted Enough is the last book in the Love in Montana series.
•••••
REVIEW:DEVOTED ENOUGH is the ninth and final instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary adult, LOVE IN MONTANA erotic, romance series, a spin off from the author’s Meet Me in Montana series. This is rancher Nathan Shaw, and dog walker Haven Larson’s story line. DEVOTED ENOUGH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Nathan and Haven) focuses on the second chance (of a sorts) between rancher Nathan Shaw, and Haven Larson. Nathan and Haven were childhood best friends but Haven’s home life was dark, and in the ensuing years, Nathan pushed Haven out of his life. Fast forward to present day wherein a rain storm and a flat tire pull Haven back into Nathan’s life, a life he believes is much better with the return of our story line heroine. Struggling to keep her dog walking business afloat, a series of anonymous donors, and the success of the park, brings focus onto our story line heroine, and the return of the past brings with it memories from the dark.
The world building focuses on the rebuilding friendship and relationship between Nathan and Haven. Years earlier, an attack against our heroine forced Nathan as Haven’s guardian and protector but in the ensuing aftermath, appeared to push Nathan out of her life. Reconnecting with Nathan found Haven struggling with the memories from the past, memories that continue to control her present.
The relationship between Nathan and Haven is one of a rekindling friendship and relationship but one in which Haven battles between head and heart having already been the victim of Nathan’s rejections in the past. Nathan is determined to repair everything that went wrong beginning with an explanation as to what happened and why. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and interesting secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Haven’s mother Grace, and her father David.
DEVOTED ENOUGH is a story of dysfunctional family dynamics, secrets and lies, abuse and power, acceptance and love. The premise is heart breaking and engaging; the romance is emotional and fated; the characters are determined and dynamic.
