This is book 2 but can be read as a standalone. I love a good small town Montana romance! This book did not disappoint. The steamy, fun, playful romance between Annie and Craig are friends thats just cant seem to keep their eyes and hands off each other! Will Craig stay in the small town with Annie though or go back to the city?

When I was laughing out aloud before I had even finished the first page I just knew I was going to like this book but I absolutely LOVED it! I was definitely chuckling along with the author as her wonderful main characters Annie and Craig, took us on their path to love. It truly was such a fun read. So much so that I just couldn’t put it down until it was all finished. I have come across this series at book 2 so I will now be going back and reading book 1 for sure, while I not so patiently wait for book 3!! If like me you haven’t read book 1 don’t worry you can absolutely read this book and thoroughly enjoy it but I am betting once you do you’ll want more just like me and you’ll back track too. This very talented author definitely has a new fan in me!

I thought this was a beautiful story. I enjoyed the characters (Craig was annoying at times). The bed and breakfast as well as the setting was described beautifully. Annie was a strong character and while I didn’t necessarily connect with her, she was relatable. I would read more from this author.

Oh the absolute sweetness of this love story!! It had the steamy and the sweet all mixed nicely together. Annie is perfect with just the right amount of shyness but still has bold honesty when it comes to her feelings. And Craig has such a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for Annie. Not to mention the character growth for both Craig and Annie. This was the perfect romance to read and I really love the author’s writing style. I am really looking forward to reading more of their books. Especially when the stories have just the right amount of romance in them! You don’t have to read the first book in the series but I know I will be going back and reading it!

Annie has always dreamed of running a Bed and Breakfast. She has fixed the place up but is not getting the customers she needs. When her friend, and future family by marriage, offers Craig to help with her marketing, Annie is quick to turn down his services. She can’t afford him and her hormones won’t let her concentrate when he’s around.
Craig is attracted to Annie…but he is in town to help out her business since he is not a relationship kind of guy. But, when these two can’t keep their hands off of each other, he comes up with a plan that they could both benefit from. What he doesn’t expect is are feelings, and the town’s gossip mill, to get involved.
These two characters were enjoyable. It was comical the way Annie would get get flustered and Craig would know just what to say. Both of their pasts have shaped their feelings on future relationships and have closed them off to that happily-ever-after ending. However, the heart wants what it wants and it’s a battle that these two are trying hard to fight (even if it means getting in their own way time and time again). I also enjoyed the secondary characters. Annie’s brother sure needs his own book and happy ending!

Annie Miller and her siblings set out on a new adventure. Annie has found the perfect place for her B&B. Her next goal is to get her B&B up and running. Craig has come to Montana to see his cousin get married. So while on vacation he needs to find something to do. Two very different people, one bound to Marietta and one lives in Portland. This is a small town romance that had me within the first couple of pages. The story is romantic, funny and unexpected. The author may be new to me, but now she is not. I will be looking for more as this story captures my heart. Even if it did mess with my emotions. It was well worth the time and money spent on this book. This is a must read for those romantic readers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Annie Miller has had tragedy in her life, losing both your parents is a trauma but when you lose them together in the same accident you become lost but knowing she had to look after her brother and sister they decided to make a break and move to a town which held both good memories and a new start for the family.
Marietta was the place that her parents had taken them on holidays and the right place to make a new life, buying the B and B and making it home was all Annie was thinking about. Her sister was getting married in a few weeks and all the arrangements were getting sorted, but Annie worried about the business, she had a few bookings but nothing to make it a living which she needed to do. Although Janie has suggested her godson a big marketing man from Portland, Annie had reservations about working with the handsome man from the big city.
Craig O’Sullivan is becoming disillusioned working for a big firm, with the new contract they have just won meant that a smaller marketing company folded and that does not sit right with him, so when his Aunty Janice calls saying she needs help with his cousin’s wedding plans he sees this as an opportunity to escape the race for a bit and unwind. When he arrives to the small town of Marietta, he is pushed into helping Annie with her marketing strategy for the B and B but once he meets her the sparks fly and he can’t get her out of his head.
They decide to see where these sparks go but can they both agree on the short-term fun or when its time to say goodbye can they or are there hearts too invested in each other.
I loved this story; it was fully of swoon moments and just a good romance from start to finish. This is the first book I read by this author and loved the storytelling that flowed from the page. The character of Annie was lovely and although her confidence had been hit with a shovel by her ex-partner, I loved the willingness in the end to take a chance and go for what she wanted. Craig’s character was a perfect accompany to Annie and although he seemed confident and sure on the outside there was the doubt in him that he would be hurt and abandoned just like his parents had done all those years ago and that giving your heart always meant heartbreak.
The secondary characters were brilliant and enhanced the story and showed the families merging as one, please tell me that Riley and Mitch get together in the end as that chemistry was also jumping off the page and deserves a book of there own lol. Thank you for letting me invade and feel that these people could be my friends to.
Annie is a chef working on her dreams. She moved to Marietta and bought the perfect bed and breakfast place, now the problem is, there are no guests in sight. This may have something to do due to the lack of proper marketing, and so she happens to know the perfect man for the job.
Craig is a hotshot from Portland with a great marketing job, he does not require love from a woman, since he can get plenty of attraction from his multiple dates, oh but for how long could that work out? He will find out how romance can change the way of his life forever.
Romantic and delicious, this book will take you to a mountain voyage in an afternoon.

Annie Miller is hoping her bed and breakfast in Bramble Lane, Montana picks up and she knows one person who could help but he is much to of a big wig, not to mention handsome to ask. When Craig arrives two weeks early for his brother’s wedding he finds Annie just as alluring as she was the last time. Getting her to accept his help is harder then he thought, but he has ideas and the two agree to explore the chemistry between them the only condition though is not to expect more then a fun few weeks. What happens though when feelings get involved for them when they both don’t believe in happily ever afters?
Great chemistry, both Annie and Craig want more but are so closed off on not getting hurt that they are unwilling to risk it. It takes those wonderful characters surrounding them to open their eyes to what could be. I thought this was really entertaining and will go back to read the first book.

This was a good 4 star read. I really enjoyed the characters. I like that Annie was a strong character. I had some LOL moments while reading. I have to say I also liked Craig’s aunt. Craig offers to help Annie drum up business for her B&B while he is in town for a wedding. Will they be able to keep it professional? Overall I really enjoyed the book. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. I am looking forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

After a failed engagement, Annie moves to Montana and opens a B&B. The problem is that she doesn’t have any customers. When her sister suggests she ask for help from Craig, Annie flat out refuses. She is highly attracted to him and gets all flustered when he is around. When Craig convinces her to let him help, he also suggests they date for the two weeks he is in town.
Opinion
This shot book packs a punch. It is the second in the Millers of Marietta series but the first that I have read. With quite a few places where Winckler had me laughing out loud, there was an equal amount of swooning scenes. This book is a great read for any romance reader.

What a great story about Craig and Annie. And we get to see Vivian and Aiden from book 1 (not needed to read this one but you’ll want to anyways)
These 2 fought against their feelings every step of the way until the very end. I loved that Annie was passionate about what she was doing and wanting to do it all on her own but knew she needed a little help with marketing.
I loved that these characters felt real and down to earth and not overly done. I could feel the small town vibe and the love for one another between the families and friends. Can’t wait for the next one!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and although it is the second book in this series I read it perfectly well as a standalone however it did leave me with some questions about the first book so I’ll definitely be reading that and would recommend the books are read in order. I really enjoyed the story, it was easy to read and I was engaged all the way through. The characters were likeable and well thought out. I liked Annie and loved her determination to make her new venture work and find time to heal from everything that has happened to her. Craig was a really nice character and I loved that he wanted to help Annie so much, they had a great amount of chemistry which was real and genuine.

A Match Made In Montana
By: Elsa Winckler
I absolutely LOVED this story. It is the sweetest small town romance. I love the town and the description of each of the residents. Especially the small town busybody who really kept me laughing throughout the story. She is such a small part but the parts that she was brought up really just made me laugh. I loved Annie as a character and watching her develop was absolutely amazing, her relationship with her siblings really was something that I loved. I loved how Mitch is with his sisters as well. Watching her overcome the trauma she has from her ex was really a character arc that was so relatable. Craig is an amazing character who had the most development and growth throughout the story. I absolutely loved their development as a couple. I highly recommend this book and this series. The author creates a wonderful small town world that makes me consider moving to Montana to find this small town life.

Hearts are a fickle thing; we think we really love someone only to realize the sparks just weren’t there. Annie realized this when Ted called off their wedding weeks before it came to fruition. After devastating loss, and unexpected change Annie packed up for a change of scenery.
Leaving all she knew taking her siblings with her she starting the adventure towards her dreams. All that’s missing was a little love well a lot of romance and tons of steamy romance.
Craig didn’t want romance he didn’t want love. He was a date em and leave em sort of guy. No time or desire to do the whole marriage thing. Loving his sibling / cousins fiercely he knew he wouldn’t miss their wedding for the world. Traveling to Marietta he sees Annie. A spicy brunette he doesn’t seem to be able to get his mind off.
Unable to keep their feelings of “lust” aside Craig and Annie give into their lust. But what does this mean? Are they only meant to be a one night stand? Read on to find out !

I didn’t realize this was part of a series until I started reading it. With that being said the author did a pretty good job providing enough information that it could be read as a stand alone. Apart from the actual details of Vivian and Aidens courtship, I feel like I knew enough to understand this story. This story was original but still had all the points of a classic romance novel. There’s steam, there’s drama, a hint of comedy and above all, love. I am very happy for Annie. I cannot wait to read the other books in the series.

This is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series. I did not read the first book but had no problems figuring out the “extra” characters. This book focuses on Annie and Craig. Annie and her siblings have moved to Montana after their parents unexpectedly passed. Annie is using some of her inheritance to open a B&B. She loves to cook & feed people. In comes Craig, a marketing hotshot from Portland. Both Annie and Craig claim to not be interested in each other but it’s soon evident that they have a connection that they can’t ignore.
Overall the story moved along and the setting was well written. The main characters were easy to connect with. I will be reading the first book in the series soon so I can delve into Annie’s siblings story.

A Match Made in Montana (The Millers of Marietta Book 2) by Elsa Winckler
A Match Made In Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series and is a wonderfully written Second Chance Romance/Contemporary romance that I loved reading. I was hooked from the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down. This is a fairly new author to me but I enjoy her style of writing and attention to detail. Her characters are fully developed and relatable plus they make the story come to life. Although this the second book in this series it can be read as a standalone. Craig and Annie had a brief meet couple months back but now her sister Vivian is getting married to Craig’s cousin Aiden. Annie moved to Marietta after her wedding was called off. She wanted a freshstart so she bought and renovated a house she would turn into a B and B. Craig works for a marketing firm and is in town early to help with wedding stuff or that’s what he thought. These have some serious chemistry between them. They’ve both suffered loss of some sort can they be what the other needs? This is a sweet romance I highly recommend reading to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series I can’t wait for Mitch and Riley’s story.

Two sets of wounded families collide in Montana. Typical small town living assures readers of some hilariously awkward moments! The protagonists face some seemingly large obstacles to their potential happiness. One has a gaping wound in the psyche left over from childhood. Another has a more recent adult-sized hole in the heart. The author brings the loveable characters of a small town to life to witness life-altering events among the ho-hum of the everyday.

An easy-to-read, sweet story of second-chance romance. While this is the second book in the series, it isn’t necessary to read the first to understand the plot. Annie moved to Marietta after heartbreak with hopes of starting over with a B&B. Craig comes to Marietta for his cousin’s wedding and much needed rest. As the story unfolds, Annie and Craig’s chemistry builds as they figure out their feelings for each other. The characters in this book were relatable and fun.

A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series by Elsa Winckler. This was such a fun and sweet second-chance romance story. Although this book is the second book of a series, I had no trouble following the storyline. Annie Miller is a sweet and kind woman who moves to Marietta to be with her siblings and sets up a bed and breakfast after she gets her heart broken. Craig O’Sullivan is a workaholic that comes to Marietta from Portland to attend his cousin’s wedding and also gets some much-needed rest. I loved this story. Annie and Craig have great chemistry and a fun build-up. The story is written well and pretty realistic. I loved watching these two lower their guard and get to know each other. Also, lots of fun characters.

A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series by Elsa Winckler. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Winckler so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from one of her stories, but now that I have read one, I will certainly be adding her other books to my TBR list.
This is a fun, small town, second chance, contemporary romance with humour, banter, emotion, family, chemistry, spice, taking a chance on love, and finding love unexpectedly.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone if you want. I hadn’t realised that it was the second book in the series when I snapped up a copy, and now that I have read it I will definitely be going back to read Book #1 before continuing with the rest of the series. It follows the Miller siblings who have moved to small town Marietta and the new beginnings that brings. The characters are wonderful, fully developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws- and who are quite endearing. The story itself is a sweet, heartfelt, and romantic- with just a sprinkle of drama to keep things interesting.
Annie Miller’s owns the new bed and breakfast in Marietta, Craig O’Sullivan is a marketing expert who is in town for a family wedding. But his meddling Aunt puts her matchmaking hat on which results in Craig helping Annie with a marketing plan for the B & B. They certainly have a great connection, but their lives are in different parts of the country- so a HEA is impossible. Right? But, the heart wants what the heart wants, so will they take a chance on love and the chance to forge a future together? This is well worth the read to find out.
A charming story…
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Elsa Winckler!

A heartwarming contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Annie Miller moves to Marietta to set up a B&B in the picturesque Bramble Lane, following the death of her parents. Having her brother and sister near by helps Annie to heal and also to forget her ex fiancé, who left her just weeks before their wedding. Meanwhile, workaholic marketing whiz Craig O’Sullivan from Portland is on a two week vacation in Marietta to see his cousin get married. When his Aunt Janice asks him to help Annie market her B&B he didn’t expect to fall in love! However, with Craig living and working in Portland and Annie’s life being in Marietta, the couple have to decide whether their developing relationship is forever or not. The chemistry between Annie and Craig comes across in the narrative and I felt engaged with the likeable and relatable couple, hoping they would get their HEA. The setting was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and the storyline had me hooked throughout. I look forward to returning to Marietta soon!

This was a very enjoyable book. It is one that you just fall into and feel like you are a part of it all. Like the characters are your friends and you are with them through it all. I definitely recommend this book. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because I am very stingy with 5 stars and save them for very few books that are all time favorites.
