So this is a new to me author who I have heard so much about.
BUT I could not get into this one. I stopped at 22% and then just started to skip around. It just wasn’t the book for me. It was written. That wasn’t the issue. Maybe I’m just not in to bull riders??? I don’t know. I will say I want to try Ty’s story when it comes out
3.5 stars.

A wonderful start to a new series of small town cowboys set in the hills of Montana. I quickly fell into the dynamics of the Shaw family and can't wait for the boys to get their unexpected HEAs.

PBR Champion Brock Shaw has been there done that and still wears the guilt left behind on his sleeve. Raising his little boy Blayze with the help of his parents and brothers when he is away on tour. Blayze and the tour are his main focus. Sure he spends time now and again with a lady but swears he will never open his heart again, feeling he proved long ago he can't put a woman first over his bull riding.

Lincoln is finally doing it stepping out from under her parents meddling and doing life on her own. Selling her successful business in Atlanta, starting over working for someone else in Montana. She purchased a cute little house with a barn in hopes of getting back on the horse and sharing that love with others. It's gonna take some time to get used the slower pace but she is ready.

Lincoln is surprised by the helpfulness of the Shaw family, who are her direct neighbours. Quickly taking a liking the cutest little boy who comes along with his uncles and grandma. She was not prepared for the feeling that Brock brought to life the minute he was in a room. She wasn't her looking for a relationship, just to start over. When Brock realizes that she has evoked feelings he didn't even feel when he was married, he stumbles a few times. Will this broken cowboy realized he might be worth a second change? Will she break down his walls and help him heal?

This was a great sweet romance. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in Hamilton Montana. Who is next on the HEA block?

Never Enough

Never Enough is the first book I've read by Kelly Elliott and what an amazing introduction to this author it was. As this is an utterly enchanting, believable, and engaging story. That has characters who have real depth and warmth. Not to mention a cowboy who is equal parts sexy and sweet. And I was gripped throughout.

Plus, it had a great storyline aside from the romance. Which was pretty perfect, and I adored the pace at which the relationship developed between Lincoln and Brock. As well as that Lincoln created with Brock's adorable son Blayze.

Furthermore, this story was full of well-rounded secondary characters who its clear all have stories to tell and I for one am really excited to read them.

As for Never Enough, I would definitely recommend it to others. Especially if you love a great cowboy/single parent romance. As this is definitely both of those things, and so much more.

Brock really hasn't dealt with his wife's death and he's not really being a dad to his 5 year old son Blayze. The latter is living with Brock's parents while he goes on the bull riding circuit. Lincoln, an interior designer, makes a somewhat impulsive move to Hamilton, Montana. Of course, she meets Brock, sparks fly, they can't quite get over themselves, Blayze is cute, and so on until...... That's the synopsis, yes, but what that misses is the good characters, the nice story telling, and the buoyant approach Elliot takes to her tale of three people who become a family. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good happy read- and I'm curious which of the other characters will star in the next book!

A fantastic read! Give me a tortured sexy bull rider and I’m hooked. Loved the chemistry between Brock and Lincoln. I absolutely adored Blayne and I’m hoping for Ty and Kaylee’s story as well as Dirk’s.

4 1/2 Stars!

Brock is a single father and a PBR bull rider ... he’s currently working towards his third world title. He hasn’t been interested in a relationship since his wife died, but he has second thoughts on that when he meets Lincoln ... the beautiful woman that has just moved to his hometown. Lincoln needed to get away from her controlling parents ... the farther the better. She falls in love with the small Montana town ... and the hunky cowboy is just a perk!

I loved the characters in this book ... the banter between them is just so realistic. This book checked all the boxes for me ... it was funny, romantic, heartbreaking ... and the steamy scenes were WOW! I really fell in love with Blayze ... what a little cutie! A great start to a new series and I can’t wait for the next book.

I am a huge fan of Kelly Elliott. I always know when I pick up get books I’m going to get a good country story. Never Enough was just what I needed. I devoured this book in one sitting.

Brock is a professional bull rider and lives what he does for a living. He is a single parent and thankfully had family to help him raise his son. He doesn’t do relationships and open himself up to many. When he meets Lincoln for the first time there is this pull they have towards each other. They didn’t meet in the best of terms.

Lincoln was in need of a fresh start and wanted to leave Atlanta. She never thought she would like living in the country as much as she does. She also never thought she would fall for a moody bull rider. Brock and his adorable son stole Lincoln’s heart. I loved that little boy, he’s the sweetest.

If you’re looking for a feel good sweet romance this is the book for you.

This is my first Kelly Elliott book and will not be my last. I loved this story- small town romance, single dad, bull-riding, strong heroine.... so good!

Brock and Lincoln are amazing together, the push and pull between them keep me turning pages. Their story is of trust and honesty and being there for each other and how to get to happily ever after. Blayze was so sweet. All the supporting characters made me fall in love with them. The family for Brock, Lincoln and Kaylee's friendship was beautiful.

I look forward to reading more of Kelly Elliott's books!

This book was super sweet, Brock is a widower trying to balance his life as a bull rider and a single dad. When he meets Lincoln, he falls for her fast however he is dealing with the guilt he feels about his wife's death. Lincoln moves to Montana for a fresh start when she meets Brock and things aren't the same after that. Like I said this book was super sweet, with a little bit of angst as the couple work through their lives together. Enjoyable story.

5⭐️

I got this ARC from Montlake Romance through NetGalley. I was sold on the blurb. I mean wouldn't you be curious about what happens if you put a sexy bull-rider, who's a single dad and a feisty heroine together??

I've read a Kelly Elliott book before but it was one of those older books. I have yet to take on my TBR shelf and read one of hers again...

This book was so unexpected... Don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be good but I didn't expect to love it so much. I'm not normally a fan of "insta-love" but Lincoln and Brock's story will totally give you all the feels!

The pacing was great, the characters were captivating and the overall story would just melt your hearts.

I'm excited for Ty and Kelley's love story! I hope they'll have their book. I'm very curious about those two! Lol

For the fans of Melanie Harlow, A.L Jackson and Lisa Renee Jones, this is the book to pick up next!

Kelly Elliot you have done it again. Beautifully written characters wrapped up in a storyline that I could not put down and that will stay with me until the next book in the series is released. Brock Shaw, PBR Bull Rider, widower and father of a young boy matched up with Lincoln Pratt, interior designer and in a position to start over far away from her take over parents. What starts off as a hatred, turns into lust which then moves onto love but not without loads of hurdles and chemistry that leaps off the page. Perfect second change romance thrown together with a single dad. A perfect combination.

I enjoyed this endearing and emotional small town story. I immediately connected with the two main characters and they had me hoping they would be able to work through their issues. This story is about fresh starts in life, after being hurt in the past and Montana makes the perfect backdrop for it. It’s a small town, so everyone knows your business and they like to give their opinions, whether you it want it or not.

Kelly Elliott takes the reader on an emotional journey with Brock and Lincoln. They are two lost souls afraid to open their hearts and take the chance of being hurt again. Lincoln is an interior designer and moves to Montana to get a fresh start. Lincoln and her best friend Kaylee are pleasantly surprised to discover such good looking guys in Montana.

Brock has dedicated his life to becoming the number one bull rider in the country. He has spent the last few years tormented with guilt because he has had to give up everything for his success. His life feels empty and he questions his decisions. Brock is an emotional mess and has a hard time dealing with all his demons.

This story is filled with longing and has great dynamics between the characters.
Lincoln and Brock are perfect for each other and meet at just the right time. They try to fight their attraction to each other, but can’t and I love watching them fall in love.

Review Kelly... she's done it again. Whenever she bring a new book out I just love them every damn time and I'm not even sorry lol.

Lincoln and Brock *swoon*.. My new favourite couple!!!

I now want to move to America just so I can watch these Bull Riders ♡

I loved Brock alot.. He's such an amazing father to Blayze. After what happens in his past he thinks he doesnt deserve to love again. But that all goes to hell when Lincoln shows up.

I loved Lincoln lots.. I loved their first meeting. Brock was a little bit of an arse to her but she certainly put him in his place. Also I loved how much love she had for Blayze.

I really do hope we get a book for Ty and Tanner because I just loved them both.

Well done again Kelly on another fantastic read

Bull riders and cowboys oh my oh my. This new series by Kelly Elliott is bull rider perfection.

Brock and Lincoln are perfect for each other. It took them time to get there but in the end they did and along the way learned valuable lessons about love and life. Throw in a sweet young boy into the story and bam, you've got an awesome small town romance going on.

Never Enough is the first book in a new series by author Kelly Elliott. I have to say I LOVED it. I felt like this story was everything about Kelly Elliott and her writing that I fell in love with 4-5 years ago! This was the classic cowboy/romance/realistic happily-ever-after story that Kelly writes SO WELL!!

I'm so excited to read more in this series and from Kelly. I hope she sticks to this same formula, because I felt like I was curled up with an old friend while reading this book.

The story of Lincoln and Brock. She is new in town, and looking forward to starting life on her own terms. He stays away from the town as much as possible, despite his young son living there and needing his father. He wants her, but can he get past the issues he has to have a future with Lincoln?

A great read.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Never Enough by Kelly Elliott a five-star read that I will never get enough of. This is my first read by this author, but I know it won’t be the last, as it blew me away, this is number one in the Meet me in Montana series and I am eagerly awaiting number two. Kelly Elliott has become a one-click author for me. Lincoln Pratt is a great character she will make you fall in love with her so hard, at first, I didn’t love her so much, but by the end I was smitten. Her warmth just surprises you, the way she cares for her bestie Kaylee just makes you realise that you know she will be good for Brock even if he can’t see that. Brock of a wonder all of his own, they certainly grow somethin special in Montana, even when they are young like Blayze they win your heart. Some people will love this as it has cowboys and romance, the fact it has a great storyline just makes it more perfect.

This is a great small-town romance book ! I enjoyed it a lot!
Throw in a gruff, sexy professional bull riding cowboy, a ‚city-girl‘ who grew up in the south - so she knows her way around, smart, sassy, tough girl. And you get yourself a perfect story!!
But I think the most adorable character is the 5 year old son! Loved him!

Great story, kept me interested from the first to the last page, nice flow, awesome side characters, can’t wait for more books in this series!!

Can you ever get enough of the cowboy, bull-riding romances? Elliott's newest novel leaves smoke on the pages. Readers are introduced to designer Lincoln, who has just moved to Montana in search of being a bit more independent from her parents, and Brock Shaw, an absolute workaholic, and single dad. Even though I am a fan of slow-burn romances, Elliott did a good enough job of leaving believable pauses and communication in this relationship between Lincoln and Brock. Their relationship was believable, and that really helped the romance leap off the page. This book is for anyone who enjoys romances between a damaged cowboy hoping to fall in love again and a rockstar woman hoping to give a little piece of her heart away. Also, who doesn't love hilarious and adorable five-year-olds? Brock's son, Blayze, might have been the reason this novel deserves five stars... and that's not a white lie ;) (anyone who reads will clearly understand this inside joke and one of my all-time favorite parts of the novel). Happy reading!

What do you get when you have a single father who is sexy Bull Rider and a sassy heroine who is looking for a new start?? You get Never Enough, Kelly Elliott’s first book in her newest Meet Me In Montana series.

This book was liking going back to the beginning with Kelly’s books. We got a small town romance and Kelly’s famous cowboy Hero. Although I will admit I had trouble warming up to Brock at first. He isn’t like Kelly’s first set of cowboy Heroes. But once I did start to connect with Brock he truly stole my heart.

What I loved about this book was that even though we got what we have to expect from a Kelly Elliott book, she still made this book feel fresh and original. I think that has to do with the Bull Riding storyline. I don’t think I have read any other book about bull riding. I found that aspect truly refreshing. I also felt Kelly did an amazing job of researching this subject. She wrote it in such detail that I felt like I was in this world with all these characters.

Like I said this book is the first book in her newest series. It is a standalone novel that will have unconnected characters for the following books. It is told in Dual POV. I loved the pace and flow of the book. I think the pace she took Brock and Lincoln worked for them. Yes, they even make comments to this moving quickly but for some reason it all worked!!

In this story we follow the love story of Brock and Lincoln. Brock is a single father who is a professional Bull Rider. After suffering a tragic loss in his past, he has shut his heart off to anyone new and lives only to be the best bull rider and provide the best life for his 5 year old son Blayze. Lincoln is a single woman who has recently moved from Atlanta to Hamilton, Montana to start a new life. She was feeling suffocated by her dad back in Atlanta and she wanted to prove she could do it on her own. So when Brock and Lincoln first meet to say fireworks shot off is an understatement, but so did tempers. It was not a friendly first meeting. Can Lincoln get Brock to break the walls around his heart?? Can Brock move on from his guilt and open his heart up again to Lincoln?? Can these two get their HEA?? Read this book to find out the answers.

I loved the secondary characters just as much as the main characters in this story. Kaylee, Ty, Tanner, Stella and Ty Sr. And most of all Blayze!!! That 5 year old little boy truly stole my heart. I love when Kelly writes young kids into her stories. I look forward to the other books in this series. I think Kaylee and Ty will have an interesting story ;)

If you love a story with a broken, sexy, single dad who is a bull rider and a sassy heroine who is also down to earth and the perfect match for the Hero, then give Kelly’s new book a try. I think you will fall in love with this story just like I did.
