Oh, how I loved this book! There is something about a single dad romance that just does it for me. I absolutely love them. Add in the fact that there is bull riding? Be still my heart. I am a HUGE PBR fan, so when I heard that this book was coming out, I knew I was going to love it.

This book did not disappoint. Brock and Lincoln's story was absolutely just what I needed. I loved watching their chemistry together and seeing how their story progressed. Watching Lincoln interact with Blayze was also one of my absolute favorite parts.

Everything about Never Enough was awesome. It's light, it's sweet, and it's amazing.

Hold onto your hearts because Blayze will steal it!!!! He is an adorable little boy who is the apple of everyone's eye. He brings out the best in Brock. Then there is Brock and Lincoln. I loved Lincoln. She is a very strong independent woman who not only doesn't let Brock treat her wrong, but also gives him chances to be better. Brock was a professional bull rider with layers of guilt after his past. But when I read what happened, my heart broke for him. This was such a great loving story with a great family banter and a start of a second story with Ty and Kaylee that I would love to read. Ms. Elliott is a new to me author that I will now be reading more. Never Enough was a very tugging story that brought tears to my eyes, especially the epilogue.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

Never Enough is the great start to a new series by Kelly Elliott!! Brock is a single dad who is a bull rider. Lincoln moves from a big city to the tiny town in Montana. When she buys his house the chemistry between them can’t be denied. He can be a jerk though. And will he open up again after losing his wife?

As with all of Kelly’s stories, I loved Never Enough. She always pulls me in and makes me fall in love with everything about her stories. The story, the characters, the setting. I loved it all.

Another job well done!

I loved everything about this fantastically written, swoon worthy story from Kelly Elliott.
This new series has definitely gotten me under its spell Brock and Lincoln had an amazing chemistry.

Brock's a professional bull rider who's a little broken, carrying guilt for something that wasn't his fault and Lincoln is an Interior designer, new to town with a strong personality.
They don't get off to a great start but soon things get a little heated. Can Lincoln break down the walls of Brocks heart and is Brock ready to let someone in.

A fabulous start to this new series and add in a very adorable 5 year old what more could you ask for. A fantastic 5 stars from Crazy Cajun Book Addicts.

I absolutely love everything that Kelly Elliott writes. Never Enough is the first book in her Meet Me in Montana series. This book is told in alternating POVs and has an HEA.

Lincoln Pratt is ready to move out of the big city of Atlanta and start a new life in a small town in Montana. She buys a home from a man she has never met and when she does she is less than impressed with him. He is very good looking but is very rude to her and she doesn't have time to deal with that. She simply wants to start her new job and remodel her new home.

Brock Shaw spends his life riding bulls for a living. He carries alot of guilt for things that happened in his past. When he first meets the woman buying his house he is very defensive and rude to her. He finds her attractive but knows he is not the relationship type. The more time these two spend together the stronger their feelings get. Will Lincoln be able to handle Brock's life as a bull rider? Will Brock be able to let his walls down and let Lincoln in?

I loved the connection between Brock and Lincoln. The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline. I absolutely love Blayze and can't wait to watch him grow up in this new series. I am super excited for the next book in this new series from Kelly!!

Book Review- Never Enough by Kelly Elliot

I really like the stories I’ve read from this author and was excited to read this one. She didn’t disappoint. Lincoln is striking out on her own, making a fresh start in Montana. I liked her instantly. She was a nice person and independent woman, not afraid to do things for herself. She is such a strong character living in a small town.
Brock is a bull rider who is a hometown boy. He is definitely strong physically and a hot cowboy. However, the baggage he has is almost overwhelming. It makes him real though. His character is far from perfect. Both Brock and Lincoln come across as real people that you could know anywhere.
I love how she knocks Brock for a loop. He has no desire to fall in love or let any woman into his heart in anyway. You know what is going to happen by the end, but the fun is watching how it unfolds. I love how Brock fights the impossible. Lincoln is awesome. She fits in well into his family and his hometown. She is brave and smart. She is willing to take a leap of faith which shows her courage. She is the stronger of the two main characters. She realizes Brock is fighting demons when it comes to his past life with Kacy. The dynamics she brings to Brock’s life is exactly what he needs. It was a great story. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Brock is a professional bull rider and a single father to his five year old son Blayze. He knows that his time on the circuit has a time limit, so he is determined to garner as many wins until it comes to an end especially when riding bull is when he truly feels alive as he is still dealing with the guilt he feels about his wife’s passing.

Lincoln is an interior designer who is looking for independence and a new beginning. She has purchased a home from Brock and she and her best friend are excited about their new venture in Montana.

From the moment that Lincoln and Brock meet the sparks fly but they are not the good kind. He is abrasive to the point of rudeness, but she is not about to let him put a damper on her happiness especially since she has already fallen in love with his son and family. Brock is confused and angry about the reaction that Lincoln inspires in him as because of his past he is determined to never care for another woman.

This is a hot and heartwarming story about love, family, healing and second chances. Everyone around them knows they are perfect for each other and now they just need to convince Brock that he deserves to find happiness.

Never Enough was a nice read. Lincoln and Brock are people who needed a second chance though for completely different reasons. When the two of them come together it was special. There was a little meet-hate but it was evident there was underlying attraction. Their banter was intriguing and I enjoyed the process of their relationship as the story progressed. I also liked the supporting characters. They were pleasant and the family atmosphere was deep. I was interested to see how the story would go. Overall a fine story.

It's been a while since I've read a cowboy book and boy did this one hit the spot! It's a bit if insta but it worked out fine for me. The writing is clean and the world building impressive. Definitely recommend if you like small town and hot cowboys!

Brock was a man with a lot of guilt and just surviving. Lincoln was a strong woman, knew what she wanted and was who she said she was. Together they were solid. I loved Blayze too.

I can't wait to see more from the Shaw family and Dirk!

Never Enough by Kelly Elliott is book one in her Meet Me in Montana Series.
Meet Brock Shaw and Lincoln Pratt.
Brock is a famous bull rider, single dad and on the road most of the time.
Lincoln just moved to Montana to start over. She's an interior designer and great at her job. She loves the smalltown life, the mountains and quickly falls for the grumpy but irresistible cowboy and his adorable sidekick.
Brock has some issues that threaten to destroy a good thing. He has a lot to work through and that he does.
Never Enough is a beautiful story, a slow burn, sweet romance with a few twists and turns.
I loved the writing and the characters, they gave me all the feels.
5 beautiful stars.

I cannot begin to express how much I loved reading Never Enough by Kelly Elliott. The story was emotional, charming and angsty with characters I adored and a story I devoured. Brock Shaw broke my heart. He was a good man with a caring heart, but the past weighs heavily on him. Intent on forgetting this past mistakes, bull riding has become his escape. And yet he is full of guilt every time he leaves his son with his parents for work.

Lincoln is looking for a fresh start and this small town in Montana may just be what she needs. What she never expected was Brock and his adorable son to steal her heart. But Brock is not an easy man to love. Letting love in again was never his intention, but right from when they meet, the chemistry and connection is there. Can he learn to let Lincoln in?

I absolutely loved Never Enough by Kelly Elliot. It was emotional, angsty and heartwarming. I loved the characters so much and cannot wait to see what comes next in the series, though I have an idea! A great read and one I highly recommend.

Happy reading!

NEVER ENOUGH (Meet Me in Montana #1) by Kelly Elliot is the start of a new contemporary cowboy romance series. Kelly Elliot is a new-to-me author who pulled me in with her writing style and I will be continuing to look for her name and series in the future.

Lincoln Pratt is one of the top interior designers in Atlanta, but she wants and needs a fresh start. She sold her company and is starting over in Hamilton, Montana. Lincoln and her best friend, Taylee drive across country to the new home she purchased from the mysterious Brock Shaw.

Brock Shaw is attempting to win the competitive bull riding championship for the second time. The money and endorsements will secure his future and allow him to raise his young son with no financial worries. But even as he misses raising his son himself, the travel that keeps him from home and the adrenaline of the rides let him forget even if for just a short time the pain and guilt of his wife’s death.

From the moment they meet, even with the strong physical attraction, Brock and Lincoln do not know whether they even like each other. Lincoln cannot resist Brock’s son, Blayze and is willing to open her heart to Brock, too even as he runs hot and cold. Brock wants Lincoln, but he is going to have to let the pain and guilt of the past go to finally find what he needs.

This romance ticked off all the things I love about this genre. A book that I can sit down with and fall into the story and lives of all the characters immediately. Also, a strong, but wounded hero, add cowboy and single dad, to reel me in and a strong heroine who stands up to and takes no bull from this bull rider, but wants to heal his heart. The sex scenes are smokin’ hot, but not gratuitous. All the family and secondary characters were fully fleshed and add depth to this story. I am looking forward to seeing them in future books in this series.

I can highly recommend this second chance contemporary cowboy romance. I am looking forward to more books in this series and by this author.

Oh my gosh this novel was so good! I loved it! From the very first page this novel hooked me and I could not stop reading until the last page. I loved Lincoln and Brock. Oh my gosh their chemistry was off the charts. Brock had been through so much. I loved the dialogue between the characters. I love when a novel can make you laugh out loud, bring you to tears and leave you with a happy heart and smile on your face. This novel check all of my boxes. I loved it!

Kelly is an author who never fails to deliver a romantic story that delights. Lincoln and Brock have to work hard for their happiness and I liked that theor struggles were not too dramatic but ones that felt easy to indentify with. At first I was not a Brock fan he came across as a bit of a jerk with a chip on his shouder. Slowly as the story progressed I liked his bossy moody persona and when we started to see him interact as a father to Blayze my heart melted. LIncoln was a great female character, she was not afraid to let her feelings show and air her opinions. I liked that the fanily dynamic took awhile to form and we saw how hard it was to become a strong unit.

A short and easy read, "Never Enough" is one of those books that you can curl up during a lazy Saturday afternoon and read through it. The characters are lovable and very charming in their own right.

I like it, but I am giving it only three stars because the book became repetitive after awhile. How many times can you tell the story of Kaci. and yet in the end, it was never resolved.

Still, it's a good story but there were just holes in it.

OMG, Kelly Elliott just slayed me with ALL. THE. FEELS 👏🏻👏🏻 Finishing that last page, wiping the tears from my eyes, Never Enough is an emotional journey that is written with such grace.

Firstly, Montana cowboys float my boat. Their charisma and charm are on another level. Brock and his brothers are a dream come true. Their cowboy drawl, tight Wranglers and fierce love are a force to be reckoned with. Brock loves hard but had been hurt deeply. Moving past his guilt and opening his heart to love again is beautifully explored and written with perfection. Lincoln is his perfect match! Their instant connection lit up my kindle pages!! The hot/cold chemistry kept me on my toes, while cheering for them to get it on! Their story fills my heart with joy, every page was better than the last ♥️

I’m so excited for more of this series. Kelly Elliott has stolen my heart with the Montana cowboys. Brock and Lincoln FOREVER!!

This book had me feeling so many different emotions that I didn't want to put it down until I read the last page. Unfortunately, I had to be an adult and go to work. However, I was not disappointed. Brock and Lincoln set my Kindle ablaze and I couldn't wait to see how Kelly brought their story together.
Brock was a man who was filled with so much guilt that he didn't believe that he deserved to be happy. Being a bull rider adds a lot of stress to any relationship, but when he was married to his first wife, things weren't great. The greatest day in his life turned out to be the one that changed him and he couldn't seem to find his way out of the darkness. Until Lincoln. Even though she bought his house, he couldn't stay away. When he pushes her away, he regrets it immediately, but doesn't know how to get his light back.
Lincoln moved away from home for a fresh start. Brock doesn't make a good first impression, but everyone else does, including his son. As she gets to know the man (as confusin as he is) and his family better, she realizes he isn't what he appears to be. She knows that he is fighting some demons, but he is giving her whiplash with his attitude. When he pushes her away, she believes it is for good.. When an accident occurs, she has a choice: stay by his side like she said she would, or run like everyone else has. When she gets some news of her own, it could change everything between them yet again.
This book had me happy, sad, hopeful, irritated, and most of all, in awe at how strong Lincoln was and how determined Brock ended up being. I can't wait to read more in this series. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

Great angsty and lovely story with interesting characters and a love that’s meant to happen even if it’s heartbroken and it takes time for Brook to heal and realise what he really wants for his future.
