Never Enough was amazing and I couldn’t get enough lol. Kelly does an amazing job with Brock and Lincolns story. Brock is a single dad after he lost his wife. Lincoln is moving to town to have a new start. Will they both be able to have a new start together? Kelly is an amazing writer and this story is no different make sure you one click and enjoy this book just as much as I did.

Small town romance with a sexy bull-riding hero, a strong-willed heroine and a cute, adorable little boy and you have a winning combination! Well-developed characters and an intriguing, interesting plot -- this was an very enjoyable contemporary western romance. I voluntarily read and reviewed ARC for NetGalley.

I think everyone has that one story that they have been searching for...their “unicorn” story.  I’ve been waiting for mine and then Kelly gives us Never Enough and I found it.⁣
.⁣
Brock is a single dad professional bull rider.  After the death of his wife, he is broken.  The only thing that gives him solace is getting on the back of a bull.  Yet it adds more guilt because he is away from his son. But the memories that wait him back on the ranch are too much.  Enter Lincoln who moves to Montana and buys the house Brock shared with his wife.  Of course, her first interaction with Brock is anything but welcoming when he is a jerk to her. So while they are attracted to each other both want nothing to do with the other.⁣
. ⁣
Lincoln was exactly what Brock needed.  She was tough and loved with her entire heart.  As times passes, she gets glimpses into the man he is and realizes how wonderful yet damaged he is. I loved how Lincoln supported him…something he desperately needed from her. When Brock finally deals with his sorrow and guilt I admit that it hit me in the heart and I had to wipe away a few tears.  Watching both their walls crumble was sweet, steamy and heartwarming.⁣
. ⁣
I loved the detail that Kelly wrote about bull riding.  Even if you know nothing about PBR, you will feel the excitement and fear the cowboys face every time they get on a bull. You will feel why Brock loved it so much…the adrenalin and the high of riding a bull for 8 seconds.  You will even see why his wife hated it and why Lincoln’s support was everything.  Kelly didn’t over-glamorize this life.  It’s long days in trucks driving to events, broken bones and missing home. Kelly portrayed it perfectly. As someone who loves bull riding and has gone to many PBR events it was everything I wanted people to read about something I love so much. ⁣
.⁣
This book was more than I hoped it would be when I read the blurb. It was a beautiful story about getting a second chance at love while giving us all the sexy PBR cowboy you could want. I think this book is perfection and a book I will be re-read forever. ⁣

I received an ARC from @netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A wonderful read that will fill your heart with joy. I loved Never Enough so much. I couldn't put this one day. You have a bull riding single father Brock who just holds onto so much guilt from the past. Then you have Lincoln, she is just so sweet and caring. I love how she is with Brocks son Blayze from the very beginning. You can just feel the chemistry rolling off Lincoln and Brock from the start. I love how much they try and fight what is just so natural. I can't wait for more of Meet Me In Montana series. Never Enough is just the first book and I'm already hooked. I love what Kelly Elliott gives us with this one.

I found Kelly Elliot’s first book (I think), Wanted, way back in 2013 and loved it. I read the entire series as it was published, but somehow along this journey of romance book blogging, I didn’t gobble up her books as frequently as I did in the beginning. And I’m not really sure why because I honestly do enjoy her books. So when I had the opportunity to read and review Never Enough, I jumped on it!

Brock lives to work because if he stops, the guilt he feels will completely overwhelm him. And as a champion bull rider, that’s the only part of his life he feels he can be proud of except for the son that loves him and worships the ground he walks on. Brock’s family knows he’s got to heal and let go of the guilt or his son will ultimately be lost to him. So when Lincoln drops into his family’s day to day life, his entire world is shaken up. He wants her but doesn’t feel like he deserves to be happy. Lincoln needed a fresh start so she’s moved to Montana to prove to herself that she can make it on her own and be successful without her father meddling in her personal and professional life. Can she be the one to help Brock heal or will he push her away for good?

NICUnurse’s Rating: I’m just going to throw it out there that I’m totally jealous of Lincoln. I love Montana and would love to live there. She’s the kind of brave that I wish I had been at her age, as well as fierce and loyal. And who doesn’t love a wounded hero who’s also a single dad? Yeah, Brock is stubborn as all get out, but it was fun to watch him grow and heal and finally realize what everyone else knew all along: he’s a really great guy and a really great father. The book is the story of these two characters learning what I consider one of life’s biggest lessons: our past mistakes should never define us. Everyone deserves a second chance if they truly want to change. And that’s what Never Enough is all about. Along with some pretty sexy and swoon-worthy scenes, too! Oh, and Brock’s son, Blayze, kind of steals the show at times. He’s too darn cute, and he knows it!

I give Never Enough by Kelly Elliot 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Kelly Elliott delivers a fabulous start to this new series and I am in love! I am a sucker for a sexy cowboy and this one is full of them.
Brock now has my heart. I fell head over boots for him and I couldn't get enough. I mean come on, who couldn't love a single dad who rides bulls for a living.
Lincoln is just the kind of heroine I love too. She is smart sassy and independent. She doesn't let Brock get away with anything and I just want to be her friend.
I loved this one and cannot wait to see what Elliott brings us next in this series.

Never Enough is the first book in Kelly Elliott's Meet Me In Montana series. An emotional, second chance, fresh start, small town romance that had me captivated from the very beginning.

I have to say that at the beginning of the story I was hesitant to like Brock. He seemed selfish and and came across as rude. Once I got to know Brock's story and see his character develop, I was a goner for him. My heart broke for him. Losing his wife and being a single dad takes a toll on a person. The weight he carried on his shoulders was gut wrenching. Despite the pain of his past, Lincoln came along and was able to get him to see what true love really was. Is it enough for him to open his heart again though?

Lincoln. This woman is my idol and may be my favorite Kelly Elliott heroine to date. She is an open book and so understanding. Young and successful, she decided she needed a change (and more independence from her parents) so she packed up and moved from Georgia all the way to Montana. Is it sad for me to say i'm envious of her ability to do that? Because I am! She was missing something in her life and she set out on a path to find it. And in walks Brock and his absolutely adorable son Blayze.

The the chemistry between Brock and Lincoln was HOT but more than anything, I LOVED the relationship Lincoln established with Blayze. It was so sweet seeing those little moments between them. Never Enough is definitely an emotional ride. I could feel Brock's pain and emotional turmoil through the pages. There is no over the top or unnecessary drama that distracts from the story. The secondary characters were as prevalent and exciting as the main characters and I am beyond excited to read Ty and Kaylee's story next.

Lincoln is making a change, a big one. She is closing her business in Atlanta and moving to the wide-open spaces of Montana.  She has bought a house on a ranch and plans to fix it up and starting a new job, what she doesn't expect is for the former owner to be hot as hell but onery as a snake.  Brock is a bull rider and father determined to never fall in love again, having messed it up so much the first time.   He didn't see Lincoln invading his life, though.

This is a sweet, second chance story. One not only of love's second chances but also second chances at life.  Lincoln is an independent woman who takes life by the horns and makes her own way.  Bravely, she does it by not only changing her location but her outlook.  Brock is a wounded man who needs to see that not all mistakes are his own, and sometimes life just happens to all of us.

With just a dash of heat, Never Enough has a great secondary cast of characters to accompany its mains.  The story moves along at a nice pace, adding in humor and realistic conflict that makes for a relatable story.  A good choice to sit a while away a couple of hours with.

Gah! I'm in love!
It's been a long while since I've read a Kelly Elliott book and i feel like kicking myself because i forgot how much i love reading her books. And damn does she know how to write a cowboy!
I can't get over how much i loved this book, i loved everything about it. The highs, the lows and everything in between.
Lincoln and Brock was amazing together, i loved reading about their relationship.
Lincoln i really liked her, she wasn't shy in what she wanted and was so easy to like.
Brock i loved him so much! He had so much heartbreak inside him but still had so much love for his son.
I hope his brothers Ty and Tanner get a book and Kaylee

Lincoln needed a new start away from her family so she moved to Montana. Brock is a professional bull rider and when he meets Lincoln things didn't go as planned, he felt something that he had never felt before for a woman even though he had been married and his wife died. Brock's son Blayze is a character on his own and some of the things that he comes out with had me laughing and there were parts of this book that was so emotional that it made me cry. Omg this is an amazing book and I really enjoyed reading it. There were twists and turns along with so many emotions that I definitely recommend you read this book as it is so well written and worth reading.

THIS BOOK. I don’t even know where to begin. I fell in love with this story instantly and the more I kept reading the more and more I fell in love with the characters and the story. Never Enough is a beautifully written, emotional story that will have you falling in love with Lincoln, Brock and Blayze from the very first moments you meet them.
Brock, who I just kept picturing Scott Eastwood as, loves bull rider. It is his passion. He has his eyes on the world championship, however, being away from his young son is starting to take its toll. When he meets Lincoln, things start to change for him and he starts to really think about the future. Is a future with his son and Lincoln worth giving up his career?
I LOVED the chemistry between Brock and Lincoln. I loved the relationship between Lincoln and Blayze. It was so sweet and adorable and just warmed my heart. Really the entire Shaw family plus Kaylee were amazing secondary characters and I am completely obsessed with Hamilton and I am already dying for more!
If you love bull riders, second chances, an adorable little boy and a strong heroine YOU WILL WANT to read this book. Kelly Elliott knocked it out of the park with this one!

I fell for Brock long before I learned all the backstory of tragedy that haunted him. Though not an easy character to get to know, there were red herrings sprinkled all over the place with a trail pointing to his past. Lincoln was more of an open book. Or so I thought. Little by little, Elliott took off the blinders and exposed the masquerade. It turns out there was more to Lincoln than she let on. Never Enough is a fresh start for two bruised souls, with a ton of baggage dogging their every step. Elliott has a gift for stirring up emotions. What happens when a beautiful lie exposes all the ugly drama underneath? An unforgettable romance. With in depth characters and a heartbreaker of a backstory, from start to finish, Never Enough wraps itself around your heart and refuses to let go.

Thanks goes to the publisher, via Net-Galley, for giving me a chance to read and review Never Enough by Kelly Elliott in advance of publication. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.

This is my first experience reading a novel by Kelly Elliott. It’s a fast-paced book with an intriguing hero and interesting secondary characters. The plot is excellent, and Ms. Elliott’s writing flows smoothly with light-hearted banter between the hero and heroine. The novel had plenty of emotions, especially for the hero’s back story which is beautifully weaved through the story with no information dumps. There is also a bit of excitement in the rodeo scenes.

Lincoln Pratt’s character has some depth. Although she doesn’t have any major baggage to create deep emotions, she is a likable heroine, an independent woman, determined to leave the comforts of home for a new entirely different life in an unfamiliar place. I would have enjoyed more concerning her decision to move from Atlanta to Hamilton, Montana.

Brock Shaw is my favorite kind of hero. He does have a great deal of baggage he’s carrying. He blames himself for his late wife’s death because he made the decision to go ahead with his bull ride, knowing his wife had gone into labor and that there were complications. He arrives immediately following his son’s birth, just in time for his wife to smile and present his son. She immediately dies from a blood clot right after. In no way, did he cause her death, but grief is irrational many times.

Because of his guilt, he craves the adrenalin rush he feels when riding an ornery bull. This keeps him away a lot, and he leaves most of the child rearing to his mother. When he meets Lincoln, he’s immediately overwhelmed by the attraction he feels. This too, adds to the guilt over his late wife’s death. As you can see, he indeed does have a lot of baggage he must unload before he can open his heart to love again!

The romance between the hero and heroine is wrought with emotion and an amazing amount of attraction. There’s a great deal of sexual tension between them, which I enjoyed a lot, so it was a fulfilling love story for me. I could see them with a great chance to have a life-long relationship.

If you enjoy a romance with a fulfilling love story, and an enthralling hero, then you will like Never Enough. I loved most of this book, just would have preferred more depth to the heroine’s character, hence, the 4 Gold Crowns. I do enjoy Ms. Elliott’s writing and will look for other books by her. I’m amazed I’ve never read any of her romances before because she has a long back list. Happy reading!

5 "Championship" Stars!!

Never Enough had all the ingredients to be one of my favorite books for the year. I went into this book thinking it would be a fun read and finished it with a new favorite author to follow! I can't put my finger on any one thing that makes this book so special but it really struck a chord with me.

"I feel like I've known you forever, yet I don't know you at all."

Brock is a damaged, but still swoony bull rider and single dad with a five year old son who he is raising with the help of his parents. Lincoln is new to their small community. She's an interior decorator who bought a house and piece of land from Brock and his family that connects to the rest of their family's property. Initially, Brock and Lincoln clash but naturally that's just because they're attracted to each other. Eventually they will give into their attraction but that will just be the beginning of the challenges in their relationship. Brock has a lot of baggage he's dealing with and Lincoln can only be expected to be put off so much before she may choose to move on.

"Ever since I first met you, you've been a beautiful dream that plays alongside a nightmare."

Lincoln finds herself falling in love with not only Brock, but also his son, Blayze.. She worries that losing these pieces of her heart to these two will end up breaking her. Brock isn't used to having a woman in his life who can accept his bull riding career and is amazed that Lincoln supports it. He knows he loves her but is frightened by his feelings. Meanwhile, the rest of his family, their friends and most of the small Montana town they are living in watch their relationship bloom and grow. Most everyone is cheering for their happiness. They just have to work through Brock's issues so that he can fully invest himself in their relationship with no hesitation.

"You're the light I didn't even know I was searching for."

Thank you to NetGalley, Montlake Romance and Ms. Elliott for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

*I couldn't resist including a few quotes. I"m noting that they were pulled from an ARC which means they could potentially change by the time the final book is issued.*

Release Date: December 10th 2019
Spoken In: Dual POV
Rating: 4.5 Stars ⭐️

Never Enough is the first standalone novel in Kelly Elliotts new Meet Me In Montana series. As soon as I saw the blurb on Net Galley for this book I jumped on the chance to read it, I'm a total sucker for small town romances, add in sexy cowboys? Hell yes! Kelly was a new to me author but it definitely won't be the last thing I read from her.

Lincoln and Brock were everything and more. Brock try's to fight his attraction to Lincoln at first because he still holds a lot of guilt from losing his wife years ago but he can't fight it for long and when they do come together it is beautifully epic and I could not help but fall in love with the relationship Lincoln makes with Brock's son Blayze it was the sweetest thing.

I'm not normally the biggest fan of stories with a hero that his lost his wife but this was so well written and I couldn't stop reading once I started. It was heartbreaking, sweet, sexy with a dash of humor.

I loved all the secondary characters and I can't wait to read what Kelly does with the rest of this series!

I've read a few books from different series' from this author and I've liked all the books I've read from her! I found out about this book from the cover reveal on the author's Facebook page and I love the cover a lot! I was then send blog tour sign ups from the publisher and this book was included, so I decided to give it a read! After reading, I can say that I enjoyed this book a lot and it may actually be my favourite book from this author! It only took me a few sittings to read and the plot kept me intrigued and wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! I loved the pace the romance developed at and that it allowed for a few seriously hot scenes! There was a bit of suspense as well, which added to the plot and kept me wanting to read on and find out how things were going to progress! The characters were also amazing and did make the plot better! Lincoln was the main female character, and in this book she wanted a change of scenery and this is how she came to meet her love interest! I loved Lincoln in this book! She stood up for herself, which helped during her first encounter with her love interest lol! Lincoln also helped her love interest a lot and she supported him instead of telling him what to do! I connected with Lincoln all the way through this book as well! Brock was the main male character and love interest of Lincoln! I felt for Brock in this book because he was dealing with a lot and he really had to talk to someone about his loss! He was also very focused on work and this took him away from his son! Brock learned a lot in this book and he learned what was important and came to terms with his loss! I loved the way he was with Lincoln as well! He was a gentleman and it was easy to see how deep his feelings for her were! This book was written from both Lincoln and Brock's point of views, which I was expecting in a way because the synopsis makes it sound like it's going to be! the other series' that I've read from this author have been written from dual point of view as well! I loved that it was because it helped me connect more with Lincoln and Brock and it allowed for a few more things to happen in the plot, which helped as they didn't spend every second of the plot together and were dealing their own emotions! I now can't wait to read the next book in this series! I know that it's going to focus on secondary characters in this book, but I was expecting this because the ending of this book was left at the perfect place and summed up the characters story beautifully! I know that the next book doesn't release until the beginning of April, but this isn't that long of a wait! I'm looking forward to reading it and will definitely be reading the next book as soon as it releases! The cover for this book is also absolutely stunning! It would definitely draw me to the book if I didn't already know the author's name and I love how well it suits the book! The cover models are the perfect Lincoln and Brock as well!
