3 stars- A story which brings siblings and their dynamic, a woman who is helping with those who are involved in animal therapy and a budding romance. All of these elements are put to the test in this book. Teenage years...ugh... so hard on those in them, a wistful look at falling in love and the challenges of working and crossing paths with those in charge.

Overall a good story. Wade has come back to Montana to take care of his half brother while his dad and wife are in Europe. Struggling to get along, he takes the 15 year old to a equine therapy ranch nearby, and ends up falling for Erin. She is struggling with her own issues, but the sparks fly and the story is good. End is a little rapid though, and felt rushed, otherwise I highly recommend this story. Always fun to read about the beautiful state of Montana.

The Healing Heart Acres brings the three main characters of the book together by rekindling family relationships, building trust, new employment opportunities and romance.
Erin has been hiding out emotionally but a new Employment opportunity and new friendship leads to romance and new beginnings.
Half brothers Wade and Brent, (despite their age difference) slowly build a relationship. They unite over perfecting the perfect batch of Chili and take second place. They used their Dad’s recipe but accidentally made it their own by adding a wrong ingredient.

This was my first book by Lynne Marshall. I loved it. I was very sweet, and it was a good story. I'm a sucker for a happily ever after. I can't wait to read more.

Sweet Home Montana is a very well written romance. I enjoyed the plot, characters and setting. The author is new to me and I will be reading more of her work. I highly recommend to fans of romance. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my ARC. This is my unbiased review.

Wade and Erin met when Wade took his brother to participate in equine therapy at a facility where Erin was an equine therapist. They were instantly attracted, but Wade’s brother had a crush on Erin, and he was only in town for a short while. As Wade’s relationship with his brother improved, he began to realize that he missed living in Montana. Wade and Erin also looked like they were closer to having a relationship, when a misunderstanding caused Erin to draw back from Wade. Eventually, Wade decided to move back to Montana and to fight for Erin.

“Sweet Home Montana” is the third book of Lynne Marshall’s series set in Charity, Montana, and is another heartwarming story about romantic love and family bonds. It’s a surprisingly different tale about half brothers taking a step towards bonding, a young man – the hero, Wade - assuming the big brother role and letting go of old grudges in a new family after divorce.
I loved Lynne Marshall’s depiction of Brent, the sullen teen with a chip on his shoulder. His volatile temperament and personality, his stubbornness and endearing and irritating crush on Erin are so typically adolescent and sweet. The siblings’ relationship development is wonderfully portrayed, as was the healing between Wade and his father.
The romance between Wade and Erin was not as alluring to me as the previous stories in this series. Wade is endearing as a common, steady hero, and while I loved him while he was rebuilding the relationship with his 15-year old brother, he lacks the edge I usually like in my heroes.
I liked Erin but the secrecy about the job was something I couldn’t totally understand.
I really enjoyed the small-town ambience and the glimpses on Hunter, the fabulous hero in the previous story, whom I’ve loved, Tracy, and their small family.

Short read set in and around an animal therapy farm in Montana. Erin has been volunteering there since she was jilted by her fiance. Wade shows up with his troubled younger brother, hoping that a stint of volunteering will help out his brother. Wade and Erin are drawn together, but things are complicated and thats before she secretly gets a job for his company using her real first name.
