Kaylee has relocated to Montana to be close to her best friend and put some distance between her and her painful past. Although the people who loved her had good intentions, she was feeling smothered by their attention and sympathy. She was drawn to Ty, who happens to be her best friend’s brother in-law, from the beginning but he has made it clear that he doesn’t feel the same way.

A devastating car accident has changed the course of Ty’s life. His bull riding dreams came to an abrupt end, but he was able to show the doctors who said he would never walk again that they were wrong however it came at a cost. He is attracted to Kaylee but believes that she deserves so much more than he can give her.

When fate and his family throw them together the chemistry between them ignites but healing from the past so they can have a future together is a much bigger challenge. Their journey is filled with emotion, family and heat and after all that they have been through there are no two people more deserving of finding their happy ever after.

Ty and Kaylee had sparks flying from book 1 but poor Ty thought he wasn’t good enough for Kaylee. Kaylee kept getting mixed signals from Ty and that poor girl didn’t know what to do. They were both dealing with different issues from their past but my goodness these two danced around their feelings and attraction to each other so long that I wanted to strangle them, lol. But when it finally happened their story was beautiful. Everyone was rooting for them especially Blayze, lol. Never a dull moment in the Shaw’s household. These two deserved all the happiness.

Always Enough is the second book in the Meet Me in Montana series. I loved this one just as much as I loved the first one. Those Shaw men will just steal your heart. This is Ty and Kaylee's book. Of course you should read the first one to get the background on Ty and Kaylee. But just know this Ty is in full healing and recovery mode in this one. He is still living in his nightmare after the accident to where everything he loved was taken away. He never felt whole again until Kaylee entered the picture. Kaylee is strongly independent and is struggling with her own demons. I love how she tackles everything in her farm house head on with the I can do it attitude. She is Ty's perfect match. I love the chemistry between them. I love watching them heal each other. Ty and Kaylee when they are together are smoking hot. You are going to fall in love with them from the very start. This book stole my heart and then some. I can't wait to see where Kelly Elliott gives us next in the Meet Me in Montana series. I couldn't get enough of this one.

4.5⭐️. Always Enough is book number two in the Meet Me in Montana series. It was sweet, touching and tender, heartbreaking and raw, emotional and a whole lot in between. It’s a story of taking chances, second chances, mending broken hearts and finding yourself after losing everything.

Kaylee Holden follows her best friend Lincoln Pratt from Georgia to Hamilton, Montana. This is the fresh start Kaylee needs after experiencing a heartbreaking tragedy. In Hamilton she meets Ty Shaw. Ty becomes her best friends brother-in-law. Ty once was professional bull rider in the PBR but an accident has left him feeling empty after his hopes and dreams were cruelly snatched away from him. There’s a constant dancing round the fact they’re sexually attracted to each other, there’s bickering and it’s getting noticed by others. This instant attraction to Ty is both a relief and a shock to Kaylee, she’s spent time not sure she’d ever feel anything again. And for Ty, she’s the first woman he’s wanted something more with but he thinks she deserves someone not so broken and he’s as broken as they come. She knows exactly what being broken feels like and she’s not sure she could take another heart break. Being together isn’t that simple when you’ve both got pasts that have you feeling alone and empty. Just being with someone else doesn’t make how you feel about yourself change overnight...

This is book two of this series set in Montana with a ranching family of 3 boys. This book is about Ty the oldest who had to stop bull riding due to a drunk driver that ruined his leg that got him addicted to drugs after the accident. Kaylee is Lincoln’s best friend and ends up staying and falling in love with Montana. Ty gets hit with hearts for Kaylee right from the start but won’t let him feel or act on it. The chemistry for these two was started in book one and didn’t stop!

I loved book one and couldn’t wait for this one. It’s swoon worthy, depth of feelings for both of these characters, wonderful family, and so much tension it's bound to burst! It also touches on serious topics throughout the book. Loved the writing and the setting of the small town and family is still wonderful! Can’t wait for the next one!

Overall, 4 stars and 4 steams.

This author is the queen of small town romances and with the second book in the Meet Me in Montana Series we are once again are taken back Hamilton, Montana where we meet Kaylee and Ty.
This is a couple with a lot of baggage, they both have hurdles to cross before they will ever find love and true happiness and this where I have to say Ms Elliott certainly knows how to give us emotional love stories that draw us in and captivate us from the first chapter to the last line.
Kaylee has followed her best friend to Hamilton looking for a fresh start in life after losing her fiancé two years ago she now needs to stop grieving and start anew but is she really ready.......
Ty was badly injured in a car accident and it’s only through grit and determination that he is walking again but what he is not ready for is the feelings the new gal in town has him feeling.....
Two broken souls come together to make each other strong, to give each other a new start and to find love and peace. A beautifully written romance that has all the feels, I smiled, I sighed, I cried as I read this book that’s full of hope , passion and family loyalty. I also love how this author makes me feel like I belong in her small towns just by her painting pictures with her words.
I received a copy of this book through the publisher from Netgalley

Kaylee came to Montana with her friend and loved it so much she decided to stay. She needed to get away from the memories that broke her heart two years ago. When she met Ty and his brother, she called dibs on Ty. After a kiss he put her in the friend zone. That didn't stop her feelings for him though. She couldn't stop her feelings and she tried.

Ty lost his dream through no fault of his own and was lost what to do with his life. When he met Kaylee he called dibs on her too but never followed through. There was something about her though that called to him and he didn't like it.

These two, *sigh* they will pull at your heart strings, you'll feel what they feel...the emotions, the hurt, their love. Will jealousy push them apart before they even have a real chance to make it work? I absolutely loved this book! A great addition to the series and can't wait for the next one!

Second book in this wonderful series and just as sweet and heartbreaking as the first This is a story of two damaged people both trying to protect their hearts who eventually realise that their salvation is in one another

Kaylee has headed to Hamilton, Montana hoping for a new start two years earlier she lost her fiancee and she is hoping this will be the new start she needs to start living again In Hamilton she meets Ty Shaw a world champion bull rider who was involved in a car accident and was told he would never walk again. He is to stubborn to accept that and after more rehab than anyone should have to go through he is walking again but he will never ride. The attraction between them is instant when they meet but Ty knows that anything good in his life is always taken from him so he isn't sure he wants to risk his heart. Can these two damaged souls let their walls down long enough to connect and realise that what they have is real and perfect.

I’ve been so curious about Ty and Kaylee since book one and let’s just say I didn’t expect to get so emotional of their story. This was EVERYTHING and so much more! I DEVOURED this book. It sucked me in from the start.
Ty and Kaylee both have some baggage in their past. Kaylee’s is the loss of her fiancé and Ty was the aftermath of a career ending injury. They had an instant connection and so much chemistry, however, neither one of them seemed to be able to admit the truth to the other. I felt for both of these characters. Their pain, their struggles, every single emotion.
Ty does come across as a playboy at the beginning, but that was who he was, it was his reputation. Kaylee is independent. She wants to prove to herself and to everyone else that she can do everything on her own. She was stubborn at times when it came to asking for help. Of course, there is plenty of Brock, Shaw, Blayze and the rest of the Shaw family that we’ve grown to love over the course of this series. I can’t wait to see what is in store next for this crew.
Always Enough is beautiful, emotional and captivating. It deals with some tough subjects and I love that they aren’t just kind brushed over and sugarcoated. It was real. It added so much to the emotions of the story itself and allows you to connect to these characters on a deeper level. This is a MUST READ book!

Ty and Kaylee- what a beautiful story of 2 broken people. I love how Kelly Elliott tells this story.

I love both of their strength when they don’t realize they have it! Ty is broken from a loss of his career and drug abuse. Kaylee has her own grief and is making a new life for herself.

I love the family connection of Ty’s family. I love Lincoln and Kaylee’s friendship. This is such a great book that reminds us that we don’t have to do life alone.

Always Enough is a river of emotion that threatens to pull you away in the tide. Ty and Kaylee are acquaintances that are united by heart and sheltered by fear. Elliott does her best work when she holds nothing back. Waves of pain breathe new life into a couple of bruised hearts. Despite a past that haunts them and an attraction that scares them, there exists one thing that can rescue them. LOVE! Fearless yet fragile, is the risk worth the heartache in the end? A beautiful glimpse into our hearts that we tend to forget.

4 Stars!

Kaylee follows her friend, Lincoln and moves to Montana and she falls for Lincoln’s boyfriend’s brother, Ty. Ty notices Kaylee but doesn’t want anything to do with her because he’s too busy trying to get his life together after a car accident and subsequent drug problem. But one night after they give into the chemistry that flies between them, Ty thinks he’s not good enough for her and ignores her.

I loved the characters and the realistic banter between all of them ... especially the brothers. I also loved how Kaylee tried to be so independent ... but usually just created chaos. I could just feel Kaylee and Ty’s chemistry burning right through the pages. And the steamy scenes were ... VERY steamy! Even though the ending was great ... I just found it dragged on a bit. But, all in all, a great addition to the series!

I think this might be my favorite Kelly Elliott book to date! Gahh...this story was one that I couldn’t put down. I stayed up way too late reading. It’s that good!

Ty Shaw’s world changed after an accident took away his career. And then he got addicted to his meds and he slowly spiraled. But he knew he needed help and got the help he needed. Though it changed his whole way of thinking. He never though he was good enough. That was until the spitfire Kaylee wound up on his parents property.

We watch as these two fight feelings. We watch as the spark these two have ignite. And what a beautiful emotional story we get.

Kelly Elliott is a master storyteller and one of my favorite authors ever. I’m so in love with this new series and y’all will be to!

Highly recommended.

I do love me some Kelly Elliott cowboys!
When i first read book one i was instantly drawn to Ty, he had that air about him.
Kaylee i already knew i was going to love aswell because she's got fight in her, she put Ty in his place a time or two.
So in this book i excited to see how she and Ty got along.
Alot like book one you have your heartbreaking moments, your sweet moments and some hot and steamy parts.
I love how close knit they all are too.
I'm dying for Tanners book, i think he will fall hard like his brothers and Dirk too! I hope we see more of him!

Always Enough by Kelly Elliott is the second book in the Meet Me in Montana series. We meet Kaylee and Ty in book one, as Kaylee is Lincoln's best friend and Ty is Brock's brother. I was excited to read their story since it is heavily alluded to in book one and unresolved. While I liked their story and their connection, I had some of the same problems I had with book one, and the length of the book and their back and forth. It dragged on a bit as well. I also felt like the characters were similar to Lincoln and Brock, almost formulaic. Overall though, this was a really sweet romance and I like the big cast of characters that has been established in book one and we are seeing more of now.

Always Enough is a beautifully written story that takes you on an emotional journey as main characters Ty and Kaylee both have extensive baggage, Ty from an addiction to pain medication caused from a severe car accident that also ended his career as a pro bull rider and Kaylee who three years on is still trying to make sense off and grieve her fiancées suicide and has followed her best friend Lincoln to Montana for a much-needed fresh start. And so, this really was a dazzling and powerful story, that is full of love, angst, family, persistence, and hope, not only for the future, but to be a better person, and to be good enough for those you love most in the world no matter how broken you may feel, and quite frankly, I was utterly enthralled from the very first page.

Would highly recommend.

Always Enough by Kelly Elliott a five-tar read you will never get enough of. This is number two in the Meet me in Montana Series and they both tell a great tale, you could read this one and not be lost if you miss the first, but I promise you will want to go and read that one so I would advise reading them in order if you can, if you don’t then just keep reading and enjoy. Kaylee and Ty both have a history and reasons that they shouldn’t work, but sometimes two wrongs do make it right, both have lost dreams. The angst and drama in this story keep the will they wont they and the push and pull leaping off the page and make you feel that Montana snow in your hair, make you feel the warmth of the open fire on your face. Do not miss this series as Kelly Elliot has a style that makes you feel part of the story. Which cowboy will be the next Montanan we will hear from as they grow something special there and I need me some more cowboy.

Just when I think one of Kelly’s characters is my favorite, she creates a story that has me feeling as if I have lost my mind. I have loved every book that she has written, but there was something about Ty and Kaylee that had me glued to the pages. I knew their story would be awesome, just by the tidbits we were fed in Never Enough, but this was beyond anything I imagined.
Ty was a man who felt broken and unworthy. He had his whole life, dreams and career taken from him in the blink of an eye. And then, he felt like he let his family down by taking pills for the pain. He wants Kaylee, but believes she deserves better. Even though he pushes her away time and again, he can’t stay away.
Kaylee is also dealing with a lot. We knew something tragic happened in her past relationship, but it is truly horrendous. She wants Ty and has even kissed him a couple of times, but she is getting tired of the back and forth. When she decides to ask him if there could be anything between them, he acts like an a**hole and she decides to move on.
This book had so many ups and downs that sometimes I felt like I had whiplash. Once they got together, I thought they would be happy for awhile before things went south, boy was I wrong. His mind was so messed up because of a secret he was keeping from everyone that he pushes her away again. I knew his secret had to be a doozy and it was.
Just when they finally dig their heads out of their you know what’s, the rug gets pulled out again. I felt so bad for both Ty and Kaylee at certain times, but I knew Kelly would find the best way to the HEA. Their chemistry was amazing and the reasons they pushed the other away were true to life.
I loved this book and I highly recommend this book to everyone. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
