Rowan
I’m in the business of creating fairy tales.
Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels.
Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland.
My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her.
Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias.
By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late.
People like me don’t get happy endings.
Not when we’re destined to ruin them.

Zahra
After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland’s most expensive ride, I should have been fired.
Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job.
The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I’d ever met.
Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn’t care.
At least not until I discovered his secret.
It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn’t fix everything.
Especially not us.



Zahra is a complete ball of sunshine with a heart of gold. She has gone through a lot in her past but that got her to where she is today. While drunk she sent a drunken application to Dreamland and how she would change one of the park’s rides, she ended up getting a surprise offer of her dreams. Rowan is a billionaire who owns a family-owned theme park called Dreamland. (Major Disney vibes.) He’s grumpy with a heart of stone. After his grandfather’s death, he left him with a percentage of the company to make it worthy of his grandfather’s legacy. Will he be able to with the help of Zahra? I was able to read this book in one sitting. The connection that they have was undeniable I loved seeing them come together and the growth of them separately. I was completely captivated by this.

To the outside world, Cara’s life seems perfect. The only one who knows the dark secrets inside her home is her best friend and next-door neighbor, Adam. Cara’s only escape is by writing and sharing her stories with him through their facing bedroom windows late at night.

Just when everything seems to get better, Cara’s world shatters, causing her to spiral into a deep depression and writer’s block. Even though Adam promises her “everything will be okay,” she knows things will never be the same.

As she clutches to the fractured wounds of the past, how will Cara ever be able to love or write again?

Breathtaking is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story that fans of John Green and Nicholas Sparks will love.



Wow, just… wow. I just don’t know what to say. There have only been a few books that have actually left me speechless on what to say.
There is no word or words to describe the feels that I went through reading this.
This book deals with some pretty heavy topics like alcoholism, neglect and illness but it didn’t feel like you were just reading this as a third person, you feel like you are right in there with them.
I don’t want to give anything away because I think this book is that special.

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother’s ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she’s a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss’s younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn’s, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac’s final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac’s past, Arro can’t seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy… before it’s too late?



This was a wonderful small town, friends to lovers, brother best friend I love all these tropes individually but together they make an epic love story that was 10 years in the making. I have been anticipating this book since the beginning when we were introduced to Arrochar and Mac. Getting to know these characters in this book was an emotional journey that I loved every minute of. The chemistry between them is electric and kept me glued to the book. This book could be read as a standalone but, I can’t see why you would want to though because this is an amazing family that you don’t want to miss out on.

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?

Brave Enough is book three in the Love in Montana series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but for a better reading experience the author recommends you reading in order.



Hunter is a charming guy that is enjoying the single life and isn’t looking to settle down anytime soon, but when a streaming network is looking for him to be on a new dating show. Once he gets there he sees and meets the host Kipton and they have an instant attraction and it’s all over for Hunter. Kipton gets the chance to host the new dating show in hopes to pay off debt. Kipton and Hunter having an instant connection comes with some bumps along the way. After reading this, this was a perfect combo of love, laughs and tears.
