Match Made in Montana Complete Series
FINDERS KEEPERS, COWBOY: Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan.
After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism and devoted everything to the business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about her.
Then, a sudden discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to choose the potential of ever-after or to finally move on forever.
Tropes: old enemies, rivals, love/hate, last to know, forced proximity, matchmaker, cowboy, small town
CATCH A COWBOY: Kincaid Ranch lead cowboy, Ted Stirling, isn’t looking for romance or entanglements. He settled in Herd, Montana over a decade ago following a devastating loss. He seeks comfort and friendship. Nothing more. If he was going to try for love again, he would pick someone sweet and sunny, exactly like kindergarten teacher, Stephanie Patricks. But she’s too young for him.
Stephanie has nursed a crush on quiet, handsome Ted for years. Every time she’s around him, however, she gets tongue-tied. She only seems to be able to find her words when she’s working with her students. Then, Ted’s sister unexpectedly arrives in town with his five-year-old niece in tow, and he needs Stephanie’s help, thrusting them together.
But a sudden emergency puts into sharp focus exactly how fragile life is, and he needs to decide whether or not to open his heart again.
Tropes: age gap, sworn off relationships, matchmaker, child’s teacher/nanny, cowboy, small town
UNMASKING A COWGIRL: Middle school teacher and amateur historian, Joe Staunch, likes everyone in smalltown, Herd, Montana. Except for Abby Whit. He can’t quite pinpoint what bugs him so much besides the unnerving feeling she is lying to him and everyone in the close-knit community.
Food truck owner, Abby Whit has a secret. The descendant of the infamous Whittier family, she never meant to settle in town under an alias, but she can’t imagine living anywhere else. Time is running out to claim her property, and she is unsure how to do so without upsetting everyone.
Is it too late to make amends and start over? And can love survive a lie?
Tropes: matchmaker, love/hate, enemies, secrets, mistaken identity, small town, heir

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claire has to come to Pismo after her mom passed, leaving her to take care of her teen sister and get things in order before returning home to her job/life. She meets David along the way, who is Alexis’ (the sister) orthodontist. Both are not really in a position to start a relationship but can’t deny the connection. David is hesitant because of his past marriage and because Claire isnt staying in Pismo permanently. Can they come to a compromise in living arrangements and give into their feelings? This was a nice beachy clean romance I really enjoyed. Would love to read more from this author.

If you are looking for a sweet, quick easy read with characters you’re guaranteed to fall in love with, this is your book. The plot was well written and it was a fast developing story. Fair warning…. fully expect to tear up many times as Emi Hilton puts the reader right in the middle of the grief of sisters Claire and Alexis after losing their mother. Don’t worry though, the relationship between Claire and her sister’s quite handsome orthodontist David adds some spice to the story!
The only reason I did not give this five out of five stars is I would have loved a bit more development and growth of the characters themselves, and feel like the story got “stuck” in certain places, but overall, this story was a win and I would definitely recommend it.

I just loved this cover and I just wanted to climb into and live the story more so after devouring each page 🥰📚

Claire has to head back home, Pismo Beach , her mum has passed away and she becomes an instant mom to her younger sister Alexis , quite the blow , loosing her mom and the responsibility of raising her sister .,,,

Claire wants to be in New York , that is where her life is after all but that means uprooting her sister which will be met with resistance and she has to sell her mom’s house and sort through her things and that is already very hard and my heart breaks for I know how broken I was when I had to pack my mum’s things …..

David Clark , orthodontist and divorcee , nervous of woman after his wife left him and he also happens to be Alexi’s doctor so when Claire walks into his rooms with Alexi I think my heart beat faster than his did 🥰🤣🥴

David and Claire really hit it off but she’s leaving soon and grieving but you know with love there’s never a right time so they enjoy each others company but both have baggage they have to work through and realise they worthy of happiness , together …..

I cheered hard but I cried harder and this definitely has Hallmark movie potential 🥰

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute love story centered around unexpected turnouts and new beginnings. This is a clean, non-spicy type romance story. There are times where it is great seeing the chemistry building between the characters without getting lost in the intimate details. Claire was a young professional in LA when she learned of the sudden death of her mother. Taking her back home to deal with the passing, her assets also came along with the role of caretaker of her 14 year old sister, Alexis. With expenses coming up left and right, she had to make the swift decision of relocating her sister to PA from Pismo Beach. Being back at Pismo brought back so many memories of her childhood and her mother. Claire is trying to be strong and keep it together. As Claire is trying to keep Alexis’ routine, a chance meeting of her sister’s orthodontist who turns out to be very attractive and single, David. He has been divorced for a few years and struggling to get past it until he feels a glimmer of hope with Claire. Claire and David go back and forth as their feelings are obvious to them but their situation hinders moments to explore a future with one another. The author has each character POV of David and Claire, which helps better reflect the emotional and mental state they are both in as each day goes on. This book is a very quick and entertaining read!

I really enjoyed this lighthearted story. The layers of grief, love, family-related burdens and more all made this a great book to read. It was a very quick read as the characters were lovable and the kind to pull you right into the story and had you rooting for them throughout the book. Claire and David, along with Alexis were wonderful characters and all had their collective ups and downs and obstacles along the way. Emi Hilton did a great job with this story and pulled in so many emotions and situations that felt so real in the moment. Great book, especially for a fast and easy read.

When Claire returns to Pismo Beach following the death of her mother, her plans are to take care of her sister, Alexis, get affairs in order, sell the house, and return to Los Angeles with Claire in tow. A relationship is the last thing on her mind…until she meets Alexis’ orthodontist, David.
David has been divorced for a handful of years and is not in the market to open his heart up. However, there is something about Claire that brings to life something that has been dormant for years. Even knowing that Claire will be returning to LA in a matter of months, to two set out to date and see what happens.
But, as life is, things are not going smoothly. Alexis and Claire do not really have a relationship since Alexis lived in Los Angeles…so there are the ups and downs that come with forging a relationship with a teen sibling. Both Alexis and Claire just lost a parent, so there is a journey of grief and healing that must be taken. David has doubts and low confidence when it comes to relationships because of what happened with his ex-wife. With a time clock looming over their heads, and David’s past presenting challenges, can these two make a go at a real relationship?!?
This book was filled with so many emotions that the reader will feel right along with the characters. Grief and overcoming the mistakes of past relationships are aspects of life that many relationships must go through. I enjoyed the watching the relationships grow in this book – Alexis and Claire, Claire and David, and even David and Alexis. I was rooting for this couple to find a way to make it work despite the things that seem to be stacked against them. A good book from a new-to-me author!

I really ended up liking this book. Claire is the main character and she is headed home to Pismo Beach after her mom dies. She has a teenage sister who she is now in charge of and has to figure out life. Her life is in LA and she has to sell her childhood home in order to afford taking care of Alexis, her little sister. There is a lot of emotion and grief they have to work through which I connected to personally. Claire meets David, Alexis’s orthodontist, and she is swooning. They both try to deny feelings because she is moving, but it makes them miserable. They need to try and figure out if they can make it work. I loved hearing about the beach town and loved their slow romance. I didn’t realize this book would have so many religious comments, but it wasn’t overly religious. I would read more from this author!

This is a new-to-me author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked it up. The cover was cute, and the synopsis sounded quite interesting. I dove in as soon as I got home and found myself finishing the book in the same day! This was an emotional rollercoaster which may have led me to shed some tears here and there. The author knows exactly how to pull on your heartstrings as they touch on grief and trying to be vulnerable after heartache. It is incredibly refreshing to come across a well-written clean romance as it seems quite rare. The characters are lovable, relatable, and will have you rooting for them until the very last page. If you’re in the mood for a beautiful yet emotional clean romance, please pick this up! I can’t wait to pick up more by this author.

An enjoyable, engaging and emotional romance which kept me happily turning the pages.

Her plan is to pack up and sell her mother’s house and return to Los Angeles, taking Alexis with her.

David is not going to give love a second chance, but then he meets Claire. Although Claire is leaving in three months her and David decide to date. Just as their relationship is developing David’s past threatens everything. Claire is also struggling with her grief and they both need to overcome past mistakes. Even if they do find love with one another, Claire can’t stay in Pismo Beach as her life is in Los Angeles. This is a heartwarming romance between two very likeable and relatable main characters. Their connection came across in the narrative and the storyline took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it.

This was an emotional romance read. This author made sure to write a story that really captures your heart, breaks it and then slowly rebuilds it back together. This is a story of finding true love when you least expect it and it is the last thing you want.
Claire needs to return to Pismo Beach to take care of her younger sister after her mother passes away. Claire has no intention to stay there and has 3 months to sort everything and take her younger sister Alexis back with her.
While Claire is there she meets David.
David is a divorcee who is hasn’t been able to move forward since his wife left him and meeting Claire isn’t going to change that or so he thought.
As they spend time together their connection grows and David has to keep reminding himself that it is temporary, with Claire planning on leaving soon there is no risk of him getting hurt right?

Even though their relationship seems perfect with past problems from David’s past and Claires plans to leave Pismo Beach can they find a way to overcome all the obstacles stacked against them to give their love a chance?

This is a beautifully written story that had me feeling all sorts of emotions. The author has created a beautiful love story that will captivate the hearts of the reader.

Picking Pismo was a new author for me, and I really enjoyed it. The writing is so authentic and I fell in love with the characters. The story is realistic and pulls at your heartstrings. It was romantic without any steamy scenes, which made me enjoy it that much more. I love how the author created a bond between David and Alexis not just David and Claire. The ending was good, the epilogue was a little lacking imo. Took us 5 years into the future but without much added to the closure. I look forward to reading more books by this author, as I genuinely loved her style.

4 Stars

 

Picking Pismo by Emi Hilton is a story with a little bit of an emotional wallop, in a good way.
Claire’s life takes a bit of a detour when the death of her mother makes her the guardian of her thirteen-year-old sister, bringing with it all the challenges, angst, grief, heartache, and drama that you would expect in this life-changing situation. Add in the fact that Claire’s life back in LA- so her time in Pismo Beach is limited to getting her mother’s affairs in order, before returning to LA with her sister in tow. Pismo Beach has nothing to offer her anymore. Or does it? Add in the local orthodontist who has been burned by love- and a touch of fate- and things take an interesting turn. But what happens when his past threatens their blossoming relationship? Plus, she’s only in town temporarily anyway- so what future could they possibly have? With choices to make, doubts and challenges to overcome- things might be over before they’ve really begun….
A story about finding love unexpectedly, taking a chance on love, new beginnings, family, heartache, grief, and more.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Emi Hilton!

Claire has returned home to Pismo to settle her mothers affairs after her untimely death as well as take care of her younger sister Alexis. It is an uphill battle so far though as Claire doesn’t really know Alexis and has lived in Los Angeles while she grew up. She doesn’t expect to meet Dr. David Clark, Alexis’s dentist.

David never expected to want another relationship after his divorce, much less have the word love in his vocabulary away but something about Claire has him wanting to take another chance. As they get to know one another, neither can forget the ticking clock before Claire leaves with Alexis back to LA. Will they get their chance of happily ever after if Claire decides to stay?

I enjoyed the pacing of this book. You were pulled in right away and wanted to get to know these wonderful characters. Alexis is a broody fourteen year old and I think her character was spot on you really feel for Claire who is trying to do right by Alexis when she has no clue what she is doing. Definitely worth picking up.

Picking Pismo was a wonderful story that gives you so much roller-coaster of emotions. Grief, love, a few secrets, friendships and never forget where you came from. When you lose someone in your life, sometimes you feel like it is hard to move past the ups and downs of that grief. Sisters, Claire and Alexis, need each other more than even after the loss of their mother. Claire takes over as guardian of Alexis, and she wonders if determination and strength are enough. When Claire meets David Clark, never expected to have feelings come into play, knowing that Claire and Alexis need to move on. As David gets to know Claire better, he has these fears and tries to breakdown the walls around his heart.

Both David and Claire have major reservations to continue with any romance, will apprehension come into play since Claire takes care of her sister and moving and also David has always self doubts when it comes to dating and relationships….be able to move forward together..

Definitely read and find out. This story is fantastic and my first book read by this author. I am excited to read more….

Another one for my all time favourite reads list !

Meg and Ryan Kinkaid grew up as neighbours and his grandparents loved her like their own , I mean Meg and grandpa Hank were as thick as thieves ! I think it’s her incessant chatter that bugged him but she’s a sweet soul anyhoo she moved away but headed back to her hometown to run an antique store “ Finders Keepers” , she lives in her childhood home , her gran’s actually but she spent summers there , but the land was purchased by the Kinkaids

So Ryan has built yurts for tourists and Hank has come across some old stuff he wants to share with Meg and her quaint store . There are photos which are rather valuable but also hold a sad part of history which Ryan is aware of but he’s trying to right the wrongs of the past , this just makes me love him even more , it speaks volumes of his character …..

Hank and most of the town know these are meant for each other but they don’t 🥰🤣🙈he thought having Meg there might make them realise what they already know 🤣and don’t panic they eventually get there 🥰what a joy it was to be part of their journey I laughed , I cried and I cheered them on their way …

Meg’s dog Colby 🐾🥰also loves Hank and I just love how excited they get to see each other ! There’s just something about a small town and it’s people that gets me 🥰

Love you Hank , Meg , Ryan and Colby 🥰

I can’t wait to read more of Rachelle’s work !

Meg grew up with Ryan and she always annoyed him. She came back home to work at her struggling antiques shop, and lives next door to Ryan and his Grandpa. She thinks of his grandpa Hank as her own grandpa and takes on a side project clearing out the shed on the ranch to help get it ready for people to stay there. Ryan is of course against this at first because she gets in the way and distracts him. But he soon realizes that he was just avoiding his true feelings toward Meg by convincing himself she’s a nuisance. Hank also seems to know the two should be together. Meg has some insecurities due to everyone saying she talks too much, but she is bubbly and sunny and compliments Ryan’s grumpiness well, he just needs to stop pushing her away and realize that. Overall it was a cozy and clean grumpy/sunshine small town romance. Looking forward to others from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Book 1)

This is a serious slow burn romance. Lots of heat and chemistry between Ryan and Meg.

They have known each other for a long time after spending their summers together as kids and now being neighbors as adults their relationship shifts from the uptight guy and the chatty girl to friends with a common interest and that is Ryan’s grandfather Hank.

Hank is a sweet man who has a soft spot for Meg and is completely in love with her dog Colby, not that I can blame him. I think I might be in love with her too.

Ms. Campbell impressed me since I had no idea what to expect from her and this was my introduction to her. This is one of the more wholesome romance books I have read in a while and I enjoyed it. Nice refreshing change of pace, enjoyed it enough that I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cute romance story and state to this series. Starts with frenemies who get a chance as well as the ranch that needs some sprucing up. Although they may get on each other’s nerves and have their own motives in establishing their goals, they slowly see how good they can be for each other. Thanks to the help of a family of theirs, Ryan begins to better appreciate his company instead of just the animals. Meg starts feeling purpose in her new endeavors with a bit of support along the way. Story starts out slow as the details come together but ends up a really good read!
