I have to say I am really loving this new series by Kelly Elliott. Always Enough blew me away with the swoon worthy moments. The heartfelt and heart shattering moments. The story flow and concept is amazing as well as the character build. I felt like I was transported to Montana while reading this one! I cannot wait for more!

Always Enough is the second book in the Meet Me in Montana series. It can be read as a standalone but as with all Kelly Elliott books, reading them in order as intended makes for a much better reading experience.

Kaylee gets the fresh start she needs after her fiancé’s death by following her best friend to Montana. Instantly, she loves Montana and everything it has to offer, including Ty Shaw. The injured ex-bull rider who is the town’s biggest playboy, who happens to be her best friend’s husband's brother. Sparks fly the instant Kaylee lays eyes on Ty. Once Ty finds out Kaylee is here to stay, he knows he can't give into the lust he feels for her. The baggage he carries is too heavy for him. He can't ask her to deal with it, but there is something about Kaylee that pulls him in. Ty is scared to death to find out what it is and terrified to not.

I loved the buildup and relationship between Ty and Kaylee. She was embarrassingly hilarious, of course, always in front of Ty. This book met and exceeded any expectations I had. I can't wait for the next installment of the series. Every time I think I found my favorite Kelly Elliott cowboy, she says challenge accepted and creates my next favorite.

The second book in the series, but wasn't lost at all. When Karlee had first met Ty the attraction was instant, but neither one was ready to give what each other needed. Sparks fly, and really liked the characters in this one. A sweet Montana romance, and one I highly recommend. Hard to put this one down, and now reading book one.

I thought the first in this series was amazing, but I loved Always Enough even more. Kelly Elliott proves ,yet again, why she is my favorite author. She never fails to capture my heart with her sweet sexy cowboys. I loved Ty and Kaylee from the first time I met them in book 1 and I couldn't wait to get my hands on their story. And boy was it ever worth the wait!
With the both of them trying to heal from their painful pasts, these two fight their feelings tooth and nail. I couldn't help but root for them. Kaylee is so the kind of girl I would want to be friends with and Ty is all kinds of swoony. I just loved them!
I highly recommend picking this one up today!

This is the second book in the series and follows Kaylee and Ty, who we met in the first book. It is a standalone novel but I feel like it added a bit to read the series in order.
Kaylee and Ty were really attracted to each other from the beginning but Ty kept pulling back. We get to find out why he was doing that and his past is a doozy. There is a lot of push/pull within the book with Kaylee generally being the constant and loyal woman and Ty being a commitment phobe. I really loved how, in general, the relationship unrolled well-paced (though slowly, given Ty's issues due to his past). Kaylee, also, suffers from a difficult past but both are stronger together.

Kelly Elliot does such a nice job building this world and giving us a great couple but also a nice supporting cast, including the Shaw family as well as Dirk, their family friend and fellow bull rider. I look forward to all the other HEAs that will happen for these characters. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read early!

This is the second book in the Meet Me In Montana series and whilst you can read it as a standalone I would recommend you reading Never Enough first.

I loved this story!! Ty and Kaylee are both broken souls for different reasons but together they may be able to find hope, to love.

The push / pull between them was honestly hot to watch play out. I loved that Kaylee was strong and fought to get what she wanted even when Ty was frustrating hiding behind his fear.

Kelly always manages to write her small town romances brilliantly and she makes her cowboys seriously hot! Once I start her books I am always hooked from beginning to end and finish the book with a huge smile on my face.

I am looking forward to seeing what she is going to bring us next in this series

Nobody writes cowboys and small town romance like Kelly. Ty and Kaylee's story is one of the most heartfelt and emotional of hers that I've read for awhile. The way she wrote the depth of their pain was beautiful and so realistic. Some people whether in real life or in books are meant to be together and Ty and Kaylee are one such couple. From the start the connection is not just physical they see something in each other that completes them. I love the family dynamics that are the Shaw family, they make me want to find them Montana. Another great story that has me wanting more from this series.

Always Enough was a pleasant read. Ty and Kaylee had such intense and instant connection in Never Enough (book 1 of the series) and I couldn't wait to read their story. There was a lot of back and forth between the two (mostly Ty) and I was intrigued to see how their relationship would play out. When Ty and Kaylee were together they were so good. Their interactions were sweet and hot. However I wish there was more of them being good together. I enjoyed seeing the family interactions of the Shaws and the friends they consider family. This was a nice read that I enjoyed for the most part. I hope Tanner is next. I am intrigued by the youngest brother.

3.5 ⭐️
The romance was rocking and I really liked the chemistry between these two! It had angst, lust and steamy sex. The h and H had a lot to get through to find each other and I loved when they got snowed in.
This was a light easy read that had all the things I loved. This was a stand-alone with a HEA.
Parts of this story dragged a little but overall it was a fun, enjoyable read and I’ll definitely read another book by this author.

This was a Netgalley book by the publisher and all opinions are my own.

Tyler's life was being a bull rider but when he was in a car accident and told he would never ride a bull again he felt like his whole purpose in life had gone. Kaylee moved to Hamilton from Atlanta with her best friend Lincoln after her fiance John committed suicide and she needed to get away. When Tyler and Kaylee meet there is such a strong connection and instant chemistry between them but Tyler would not act on it as he felt that he was broken and wasn't good enough for her. Kaylee couldn't understand why Tyler put distance between them and why he hated her so much, she was so hurt and angry. When Kaylee confronts Tyler she is not expecting his reaction. Will they ever get a chance to be together or will there be no happy ending for them. Omg I love this book and series so much and you have to keep turning the page's to see what happens next and it is so addictive. Kelly Elliott is an amazing author and talented writer and her books are definitely worth reading.

I really enjoyed this cowboy romance. My first read from this author.

Ty is the quintessential broken cowboy.back home on the family farm after an accident takes him out of the rodeo circuit. Kaylee was super sweet & just the fix he needed fo heal. Sweet read with fantastic chemistry.

I am absolutely loving the Meet Me in Montana series by Kelly Elliott. The stories are character centric and you can’t help but fall in love with them and cheer them on. In Always Enough we get Ty and Kaylee’s story and let me tell you, it is full of the feels. It was emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming and I devoured it. I loved seeing old friends, thought this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first book, and learning more about Ty and Kaylee.

Kaylee was strong, determined and yet vulnerable at times. She loves Ty but knows he can never love her back. Ty Shaw, the oldest of the brothers, is a broken and lost man. He thought he lost everything after tragedy struck and everything seemed to turned upside down on him. There is something about Kaylee that draws him to her. He craves her, but cravings are dangerous and can leave you wrecked if you are not careful. But the chemistry and connection between them is undeniable.

Always Enough by Kelly Elliott wan an emotional story about second chances, new beginnings, loss, grief, family and love. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it!

Happy reading!

As human beings, we tend to dwell on our inadequacies…in some ways, we allow ourselves to be defined by the things that go wrong in our lives, wearing them almost like an albatross around our necks, finding it extremely difficult to let go of the things that tear or knock us down, even when what happened was completely out of our control.

For Kaylee and Ty, their pasts define their present and have been doing so for quite some time, and given the tragic nature of the events that categorically changed every part of who they were and where their lives were headed, it makes sense that they would be carrying their heartbreak and their baggage into their present-day lives.

But as difficult as it is to shed the hurt, the pain, and the self-recriminations…as much as the unanswered questions and unspoken words threaten to upend them, Kaylee and Ty persevere, even if it’s one second…one minute…one hour at a time, and while there will be good days and bad days, ups and downs, steps forward and backward, together, they push through it all and work toward a second chance, both individually and as a couple.

Kelly Elliott is my go-to romance author for emotional second-chance reads because it’s clear in the words she crafts and the characters she creates that she writes with her heart, taking her hero and heroine where they lead her, and doing so in a way that her readers can clearly see how far these characters have come and what they’ve overcome in order to live their best lives, and even though, the new path is not where they thought they would be, now, it’s the only place where they feel whole, not in a better way, but in a new way - one that makes them feel more than enough.

I absolutely love everything that Kelly Elliott writes. Always Enough is the second book in her Meet Me in Montana series. This book is about the up and down relationship of Ty and Kaylee. This book is a standalone but I highly recommend reading Never Enough first to get their backstory.

Ty and Kaylee have both been through alot in their lives. They are both afraid of getting to close to anyone as bad things tend to happen when they do. There is alot of push and pull between these two. I definitely wanted to smack them both a few times. I really enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on. Will Ty and Kaylee be able to move on from their pasts and give a relationship a try? I guess you will have to read to find out.

I loved the connection between Ty and Kaylee. The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline. I can't wait to see what Kelly is working on next!!

5 Emotional Stars

Always Enough is small town romance at its finest. Ty Shaw and Kaylee Holden have both been through major tragedies and are both struggling to overcome their demons. Struggling with feelings that neither expected. With exceptional writing and characters you can’t help but fall in love with, Kelly Elliott brings us a story full of love, heartache, and swoon worthy moments. I loved seeing all the Shaw’s again and am so looking forward to the next book in the series.

100% adorable light read, i loved this story. Definitely what we need right now, a lovely book of happiness. Sure there’s emotion and a bit of a journey to get there, but that’s why I love these books, I know I’ll be smiling. I loved Kaylee and Ty, they were such a great couple, stubborn but not pig headed and lovely chemistry. A lovely heartwarming read.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Book 2 in the Meet Me in Montana series and it can be read as a standalone. A very touching and heartfelt story about two people who have suffered a loss in their lives and who have found the perfect person who will be there for them to help find each other again. However, they will fight their attraction towards each other. I really loved watching them find themselves and each other. Can’t wait to read more in this series (hopefully, there will be more, love it) and from Ms. Elliott.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Always Enough is the second title in the Meet Me in Montana series.

I was eager to see more of Kaylee and Ty after they were featured in the first book in the series, Never Enough. Both the hero and heroine of this tale, are flawed and damaged, and more than a little vulnerable.

Ty is a damaged hero, a former bull riding champion who was injured in a car accident, that changed his life in a blink of an eye. He’s struggled to come to terms with his injuries, pain and the baggage from his past decisions.

Kaylee is a resilient, strong and independent heroine who battles her own demons. She’s loyal, feisty and sassy, but also quite vulnerable.

Kaylee and Ty’s story is packed full of angst, but is also a passionate story with strong themes of family, friendship and love.

The banter is witty and fun, often antagonistic an at other times deep and full of emotion. The chemistry between this pair is undeniable, no matter how much they try to ignore it, they are inexplicably drawn to one another.

I look forward to seeing what Kelly Elliot has in store for us next.

When an accident unexpectedly ends Ty’s career, he becomes a bitter, unhappy shell of a person he used to be. It doesn’t help that his sister-in-law’s best friend Kaylee has moved to town permanently. With the way she looks at him & her beautiful smile, he’s finding it harder & harder to resist her. He knows she deserves better than a broken man so he will do whatever it takes to push her away.

Kaylee is dealing with her past that still haunts her years later. Moving to the town where her best friend lives gives her a fresh start. Everyone has been kind & welcoming except for the broody, grumpy man that seems to have it out for her. She can’t figure out Ty. Despite the fact he’s gorgeous he’s so hot & cold it has her head spinning. Despite her little crush on him, it’s best he continues to ignore or be irritated with her. She’s in no position to be involved with anyone.

This is a great book! Ty was trying to do the right thing by pushing Kaylee away, & his actions ended up hurting them both. They went back and forth with a lot of bad decisions and no communication. They both had to deal with their pasts & overcome the obstacles to see if they have a future together. Looking forward to the next book!

What a frustrating and amazingly beautiful story!!! I loved the storyline…..2 broken souls learning to heal and finding love again.

But I have to tell you….I was ready to smack Ty on so many occasions. I thought my rage and frustration ran strong for Brock in book 1…..well Ty beat him by a mile. But even saying that I LOVED this story.

What I have always loved about Kelly Elliott’s books is the small town country feel she gives us in her stories. She always makes me want to move to Texas and now Montana. She gave us great characters in this book and a storyline that will keep you interested.

Always Enough is the second book in Kelly’s Meet Me in Montana series. This is a standalone novel, but I would definitely recommend reading this series in order. We meet Ty and Kayleigh in the first book, so I think that will help build into their story. I thought the pace and flow of this story worked well and this was a well written book. It is told in Dual POV. I will say that this book didn’t deal with the bull riding aspect as much as book 1….I kind of missed it, but with Ty I didn’t expect it because of his history.

In this book we follow Ty and Kaylee’s story. Ty is the oldest Shaw brother and he has suffered a major injury that has taken his bull riding days away from him. Ty has gone through many challenges and ups and downs. With his life not going in the direction he saw for himself, he has shut himself off to everything that can make him “feel”. That is until he meets Kaylee and she flips his world upside down!!! Can Kaylee open up Ty’s heart?? Make him see there is more to life?? Read this book to find out.

I loved that we got to see all the same characters from the first book in this one. I also liked getting to know Tanner (the youngest shaw brother). I look forward to reading his book next!!!

If you love Kelly Elliott’s books, then you don’t want to miss out on this newest series of hers.
