This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

Small town romance at it's best. This is such a enjoyable series to read. I recommend reading it from book one but they all can be read as standalones too. Great characters, lovely Montana setting and just enough humor and romance.  Can't wait for the next book.
I was given a ARC of this story by the publisher and this is my honest review.

I'm so glad we get to find out what's been going on with Gabe and his daughter!

Gabe Wilde is back in Birch Bay after trying to hold his marriage together by moving with his wife and their daughter to Southern California. While in Southern California, he went back to school to get his teaching credential and is now back to teach and coach in his hometown, finally realizing that nothing would save his marriage. His daughter, Jenna, is finding it difficult to be back and is not the nicest child to be around!

Erica Bird has taken a long term substitute teacher assignment in Birch Bay after a bad break up with her ex. Finding out he was having an affair was humiliating, then having him as her boss made it even more difficult.

I enjoyed this book. Kim Law can take a ordinary premise and make it extraordinary. Character development was great and I can't wait to read more about the Wilde family.

This book is the third installment of the Wildes of Birch Bay series and is the story of Gabe Wilde. Gabe has finally filed for divorce and returned to Montana with his seven-year-old daughter, Jenna, to start a new life. He returns to teach chemistry and coach the varsity football team at Birch Bay High School. Jenna starts second grade and her teacher, Erica Bird, happens to be new to Birch Bay but not to Gabe Wilde. The two were involved in college and each are now starting over after ugly marriages that have left them hurting and disillusioned. This is a story of healing and acceptance. Gabe, Erica, and little Jenna each have to come to terms with being mistreated by people they loved and trusted. It is not an easy journey for any of them and Kim Law has again given us a story with authentic characters experiencing the challenges of recovery. Relying on each other and learning not to repeat the mistakes of their pasts, Gabe, Erica, and Jenna lay the groundwork for a happy and well deserved future. While I recommend reading all the books in the Birch Bay series (and anything Kim Law has written), this can be read as a stand alone.

A very interesting book, loved and really enjoyed the reading. Strongly recommend the book if you are into page turning books.

This is the third in the Wilde's of Birch Bay series which focuses on a family undergoing many changes. You can read each as a standalone but I would recommend you read them all to really understand the buildup especially in the case of this story. 

Gabe and his daughter Jenna have moved back to his hometown as they both try to start a new life free from his ex-wife, Michelle. Erica is also trying to get distance from her ex and moved back home too with a temporary job. They find themselves back in each other's lives and it is not easy. They have a past together. 

It is such an emotional story with lots of ups and downs along the way. It is not easy for the three of them to deal with the past and move on. It is a real struggle but there are some really happy moments too. I like that the author makes it more realistic and does not sugarcoat the pain and ease of moving on to another relationship. I am looking forward to more books in the series.

I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review.

What a wonderful read. I laughed, I teared up a bit...part of the makings of a good book. Ty meets Ellie when she meets with him to get some business advice, prior to using his conference room for a product party.  He gets her confused with another customer which leads to some pretty fun laughs as he's talking bowling balls and she's think pleasure aids. 

This story flowed nicely. Fenske has you rooting for Ty, no matter what he thinks of himself as a person. You have good character development - not just in the main characters of Ty, Ellie, and Henry but also their family and friends. You're not left wondering what happened to anyone or losing your place in the story. 

This is the 3rd book in a series. I've not read the other two, but now I really want to!

Please note,  that I did receive an advance reader's copy of this book in exchange for a review from NetGalley. And I'm glad it gets to be a positive one!

Sometimes in life you met the person you are meant to be with, but the timing is way off. That is what happens here Gabe and Erica met during college and fell in love, but life got between them. They both got married and life went on. 
Gabe's marriage was much to be desired and when he finally saw how it was effecting his life and daughter he decided to fix the problem. 
Erica thought things were great until she she learned they weren't. Now to begin all over and discover who she is and what she wants out of life. 
This is the third book in the Wildes of Birch Bay series. This book can be read as a stand alone but is enhanced if read with the read of the series and they build on each other.

I don't give out a lot of 5-star reviews but Montana Mornings deserves it! I have really enjoyed this series and have been looking forward to the story about this member of the Wilde family - Gabe. 

Gabe Wilde returns to Birch Bay, Montana, with his 7-year-old daughter, Jenna, after his unsuccessful effort to keep his dying marriage to her mother alive. Narcissistic Michelle was an unfaithful wife and a neglectful mother. Rather than returning to the family cherry orchard, Gabe has attained his teaching certificate and is going to teach science at his old high school. When he was a troubled teen, his own science teacher had inspired and mentored him into a successful adulthood, and he has never forgotten the positive impact that that man had made.  As the school year begins, Gabe is also recruited to coach the football program as well. He’s got his hands full with his new job, new coaching responsibilities, and new life as a single day to his very troubled daughter, Jenna.

Erica Bird is the temporary replacement for Jenna’s second grade teacher who is on maternity leave until nearly the end of the semester. A two-time Teacher of the Year, Erica has left her hometown of Silver Creek and her long-term position with the school district there when she can’t seem to cut ties with her ex-husband. He cheated on her with her best friend and had been unrelenting in his pursuit of her and to get back together – only with HER unwittingly filling the role of the “other woman.” 

Although new to the town of Birch Bay, Erica is no stranger to Gabe. They had dated in college, breaking up a budding relationship after spring break one year. (Gabe had met Michelle while on a trip to California, and Erica rekindled her relationship with the hometown hero.) They reconnect when Gabe discovers she is Jenna’s new teacher and she is living in the renovated fire hall across the street from his home. Sparks fly immediately but it wouldn’t be such a great story without some conflict!

The story offers a lot of emotion and touches on a variety of different issues - unhappy marriages, divorce and their effect on children and adults, also solid families, coming back home, and second chances. Author Kim Law gives us solid characters, interesting stories and back stories, and the awesome Montana setting. I readily recommend this title to romance lovers. You do not have to have read the previous 2 books in the series (Montana Cherries or Montana Rescue) to enjoy Montana Mornings but they are really good, too, and I recommend them as well.

I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review.

I was so excited to read this book! Every single time I pick up a book by this author, I know I am in for a treat. Gabe and Erica are so perfect for each other. The sparks between them are believable, and I loved Gabe's daughter. The feelings she was showing were realistic, and I was rooting for her the whole way through. Gabe and Erica were fun too. The story gave me warm fuzzy feelings, and I absolutely loved it! I highly recommend not only this book, but the entire series!

A story about 2 disillusioned souls who foolishly walked away from each other once before but eventually find hope in each other once again. The H and h both needed a kick up the backside to find their backbones. One needed to let others in to help and the other needed to stand on her own two feet. Thank goodness they finally got there but there were some frustrating trials to get through first.

This was a totally engulfing story right from the start.  This was so much more than a romance.  This was a family drama, and beyond.
     Don’t think you will find weepy family drama, not at all.  What you will find are complex difficult situations that no one family ever wants to face.  Yet, the Wilde family’s unfortunate encounters are more than their share yet, they still come out on the other side.  Maybe with hurt feels for a while but always remembering they are still family and work it out eventually.   
     Nowhere are they perfect and they are the first to tell you.  Yet, Gabe, the oldest is a proud man who had suffered a lot of hurt at mental mind games his mother inflicted on him and his siblings.  He allowed his insecurities and warped ideas of what love looked like to lead him to end a relationship in college that was really good and healthy for him with Erica Yarbrough to be with a girl he met on a vacation week in California visiting a friend.  He married that mistake.
     Michelle, it turns out was only out to take care of herself and make herself happy.  So, when their daughter, Jenna came along she was no longer the main attraction therefore no longer happy.  Eventually, she told Gabe she wanted to move back to California or they were getting a divorce.  They moved and within two years he was filing for divorce because she had taken off when she was supposed to be visiting her mom while Jenna and he were visiting his family.  Instead, she sneaked out without so much as a goodbye.  Once he filed he moved them both back home to Montana to the cherry orchard the family owns until he bought a home.
     To find that Erica Yarbrough Bird, now Ms. Bird, had moved to his hometown and would be his daughter’s long term sub.  Which would be a challenge for them all since she was going through a lot dealing with her dad’s divorce.  So, it would be no piece of cake for sure.  You see Jenna turned into a mini me of her mother times ten.  The live version of the “Bad Seed.”
     She was acting out for sure.  Ms. Bird was a caring teacher and pressed for answers as to what could be causing her issues and dad was not forthcoming.  He didn’t like people knowing his business or butting in.  Especially, her.  He already knew he messed up by leaving her behind but for her to now be here and to see his daughter struggling and see what a failure he is as a parent was killing him.  But Rachel is a talker and kept pressing.
     See how they all work together for Jenna’s benefit and at the same time heal their past and present.  I give this: 5++++ stars.

Montana Mornings is the third book in the Wilde’s of Birch Bay series by Kim Law. I have read the first two and gladly accepted an ARC copy of this book. The first two books in the series “Montana Cherries’ and "Montana Rescue" lay the groundwork for the relationship between Gabe and his daughter, Jenna, as well as with his ex-wife Michelle and this book brings it all together.

Gabe Wilde has come home to Birch Bay with his daughter in an attempt to start over and to give her some semblance of a family life. He takes a job as the football coach at the high school as well as a teaching position and begins to settle in. His relationship with Jenna is strained and he struggles to deal with her moodiness and her sassiness.

Erica lives in a converted fire house (note the fire pole does play a part in the story! Wink wink!!) and happens to be Jenna’s teacher. She knows Jenna is capable of being a better student and sees how Jenna manipulates her father to get what she wants. She and Gabe lock horns over how to handle the situation and their relationship gets off to a rather rocky start. As time passes, Gabe begins to depend on Erica and her experience in dealing with children. They take it slow but their friendship begins to bloom into something more. He will do anything to protect his daughter from more pain and so is careful in keeping his relationship with Erica a secret. He does not realize how much he and Jenna have come to love her until she leaves when her temporary teaching position has ended.

This is a well written book that will tug at your heart strings. You want to be angry with Jenna for her hateful behavior but yet you feel sorry for her for all she has gone through. Gabe and Erica both have healing to do and watching them come to grips with their pain and push through it was the best part of the book. You will find yourself rooting for them by the end of the book! I would recommend this book and the other two in the series without hesitation.

I couldn’t finish this book, I like the author’s writing and have enjoyed many of their books before but this one wasn’t one I could get into. I will try again when the author’s next book is released as I am a fan of theirs.

I love Kim Law's writing. This is the third book in the series. Consider reading the other two first in order to understand better what has affected Gabe as he grew up. This is a second chance at love trope.
Ms. Law writes emotional stories about characters who are challenged by events in their lives and must work through all the things that are keeping them from being happy. In this series, the Wilde siblings were all twisted and manipulated by their mother. Gabe somehow married a woman much like his mother. Now, while he awaits his divorce, he is struggling to make a new life for him and his daughter. His daughter is fighting him every inch of the way. 
Erica is also starting over after her own traumatic relationship and divorce. Erica, who is Gabe's daughter's temporary teacher, feels that Gabe isn't dealing with his daughter the way he should. The two, who dated once in college, butt heads and the attraction they feel for each other is in danger of being lost. Can the two overcome their differences in order to have a relationship together? Sometimes the problems seem insurmountable, but just maybe the two were meant to be together from the start!

Great book. Loved the storyline and the writing style. I'd read Kim Law books again.

I loved this book I loved the premise writing and the connection between the characters

I love Kim Law and this book is another reason why. Her stories are always well told. The characters are relateable and the story draws you in. Once I started reading I was hooked and couldn't wait to see how Gabes story would unfold. The family dynamics in this book are great and makes you want to know more about all of them. I hope there will be more books in this series. All three books were amazing.

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley!

I enjoyed this book, and found the two main characters to be relatable and likable. However, I thought the exes were overly simplified as villians. Also, I think the young girl will likely need more counseling in the future. The relationships felt real and made the story enjoyable. Maybe a bit too steamy for me.

I love Kim's stories and writing styles, and this story was no exception :) A story about two friends that fall in love. Even though this is a very popular plot line and has been done so many times before, Kim is able to breathe fresh air into this story. You can't go wrong with one of her books!
