A Note From the Publisher

Kat Latham writes sexy contemporary romance, including the London Legends rugby series.

She’s a California girl who moved to Europe the day after graduating from UCLA, ditching her tank tops for raincoats. She spent several years teaching English in Prague followed by several more working for a humanitarian organization in London. She now lives with her British husband and baby girl in a small town in the rural Netherlands surrounded by miles and miles of green pasture, canals and Shetland ponies. Kat’s slowly adjusting to life in a place where bicycles and cows seem to outnumber people.

With degrees in English lit and human rights, she loves reading and writing stories that reflect the depth, humor and emotion of real life. She’s been fortunate enough to win some contests, including the Golden Pen and Ignite the Flame, though her Mom is most proud of Kat winning the sex-scene contest, Between the Sheets.

Through her British husband (Dr. Smarty Pants, PhD), Kat’s gained a keen appreciation for rugby, cricket, and the sound of a pucka English accent saying words ending in ‘-er’. He inspired her to write a series about hot rugby players with incredibly sexy voices. The first in the series, Knowing the Score, was published by Carina Press in summer 2013.

Kat’s other career involves writing and editing for charities, and she’s had the privilege of traveling to Kenya, Ethiopia and Northern Ireland to write about the heroic people helping their communities survive poverty, inequality and hunger.

When she’s not traveling, reading or writing, Kat can be found sharing overly personal things on her blog, Twitter and Facebook.

Nancy Parson is now a successful soap opera star, a far cry from her meager beginnings in Marietta, Montana. Now she is returning home to marry her fiancée and A-lister movie star actor, Jared. She is looking forward to her new life but nervous about coming face to face with her crush, Wyatt. Nancy has carefully avoided seeing Wyatt every time she returned home. But she isn’t going to be able to avoid him now…

Her bride’s maids have decided Nancy needs a wilderness adventure for her bachelorette party. They hire Wyatt’s company and specifically Wyatt to be there guide, not knowing of Nancy and Wyatt's past history.

Wyatt had no idea it was a party for Nancy and 2 other actor beauties, but the mere sight of Nancy floods Wyatt with thoughts he shouldn’t have for someone that grew up with him, let a loan the fact she is getting married.

Nancy’s fiancée unexpected crashes the adventure. Every protective instinct toward Nancy erupts when Wyatt sees what a self absorb asshat Jared is. Wyatt will do what he can to make Nancy see the error of her ways.

Two Nights With His Bride was a perfect romance read. The story has characters you couldn’t help but want to know. I truly was disappointed when the story ended, wanting more of Wyatt’s and Nancy’s story. Quick and easy read, this was the superb contemporary romance read.

This book did not turn out like I expected. There is a huge wedding set to happen between Nancy Parsons (the hometown girl turned soap star) and Jared (the big time movie star). In Nancy you have a successful soap star that is unsure of herself. So she has a tendency to make spur of the moment decisions. Like getting engaged. The problem. Wyatt Wilder has been in love with Nancy forever and has no intention of letting her go. This set off a chain of events that may lead to the Wedding of the Year imploding. Two Nights with His Bride is another great read from Kat Latham. Readers will have a good time as they party with these characters. I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.

I finished this book and I wasn't really sure how to rate it. I liked the series, it contained great romance reads. I really liked Nancy and Wyatt. She's so strong and stubborn, he's so not Prince Charming but still Mr. Right. The problem is, Jared - aka Nancy's fiancé - is an abuser. He's not just bad for her, he's really psychologically abusing her. I always have mixed feelings with romance books containing abusing relationships. I like that the woman get her HEA far away from the a******e that was abusing her but I have trouble accepting abuse as part of my entertainment process. For me, romance books may contain abuse as part of the character's background, not as part of the main story. But that's me. Without consideration for the abuse, the book was really good. The characters were great and I recommand this book if you're not as squeamish as me with that sort of thing.

This is the sixth book in the series and this one concerns Nancy Parson, the bride to be around whom all the other books in the series are based. The time for the wedding is rapidly approaching and her bridesmaids from hell arrange her bachelorette party - rafting, fishing and camping in the Montana hills along the Yellowstone river. Sounds great - err, no because their mountain guide is Wyatt Wilder who knew Nancy as a child and teenager, helping her out of bother and always protecting her, even from herself and her desires. They’ve never met since she came home to marry the movie star, Jared, but Wyatt isn’t convinced Jared is good enough for Nancy…. It would be too easy to give spoilers away now so I’ll stop with the synopsis - you’ll have to read it yourself to find out what happens!

A great conclusion to the series. The characters involved from the other books continue to play roles in this one and are developed further but the book would still work as a standalone, too. The drama, trauma and conflict in this story are worthy of a soap opera like that starring Nancy. You’re not quite certain how things are going to work out until very near the end of the story, lots of cliff hanger moments to keep the reader enthralled, making this a great addition to the whole series.

Thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley, too,
for letting me read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a grand finale for the series, I am still gasping for a breath.. wow. Through the series, there are glimpses of this celebrity wedding, and now we finally have the story, and it is nothing like I expected, oh, it is so much more.
First, what a respectable way, and tone, the author has written about an abusive relationship. The way it is described escalating incident after incident. The control and jealousy, the checking up on her every moment and move, and slowly taking over her life in every aspect, was eye opening and chilling.
Wyatt and Nancy have so much history, after all, they basically grew up together. As they reflect and share the childhood memories, there is so much pain, hurt, and shame, but also pride, respect, comfort and joy. Their journey has not been an easy one, the things Nancy has gone through, my respect towards her grew with every page. Wyatt has such a big heart, he is protective, kind, affectionate, wants to fix things. Oh, he comes off at first as a grumpy and surly, but that is just the protective shell in him. This story just took my breath away, and captured my mind. I read it at one sitting, and wanted it to just go on. Wyatt and Nancy are so perfect for each other, not perfect people, but they fit so well together. They listen to each other, support each other, through some really tough times, and are always willing to help each other where needed. The story is on the edge, with the relationship with Jared, the consequences of ending it, and unforgettable wilderness trip in the gorgeous scenery of the Yellowstone, with the childhood memories and experiences, and the relationship with Wyatt, all together it makes a wonderful, heartbreaking love story, that tops, and finishes, the lovely wedding series in Marietta

This is Montana Born Brides Book 6. The wedding to which the previous five books have been leading up is between Nancy, a soap star, and Jared, her leading man and producer. It is set in Marietta, Montana, home of the various Montana Born series. I adore the Montana Born books, have read and liked a lot of them.
I give this one three and a half stars. This one is different, in that the heroine is heavily involved, almost married to Jared, but he is not the hero. Not even close. He is a major jerk, we have seen foreshadowing in the previous books. In this book we see that he is more than that, even abusive. Yes, our hero, Wyatt, is Nancy's long ago neighbor, but she doesn't really recognize him as that until halfway through the book. I did find all the wedding craziness amusing. I loved how Wyatt totally understood, and forgave, a lot of Nancy's dramatics, particularly her lunatic friends.
I also really like that, although this is the final Montana Born bride novel, it is highly connected with One Night with Her Bachelor, Wyatt's brother Gabriel's story, and Taming the Legend, Wyatt's sister's story. And we have Wyatt's brother Austin's story still to come! Can't wait!

The wedding of Nancy Parsons is the glue that has kept the Montana Born Brides series held together. Each couple has had a part to play in the celebrity wedding of the year, and we've caught glimpses of the bride in the run up. So for her story to close what has been another great series from Tule Publishing, with the added factor that Kat Latham has written it, was a real treat. This series has hit all the right spots for me and Two Nights with His Bride ended the series on a high.

"Making a few bad decisions doesn't mean all our choices are doomed to fail."

Kat Latham has done what she does best and brought her reader a strong, emotive read with fabulous characters. Nancy and Wyatt's story is the one I have been waiting for; I was intrigued how their relationship would work bearing in mind Wyatt isn't the groom and it was a book I struggled to tear myself away from. It is a little heavier than the previous books, but the emotion is balanced by a romance which holds humour, is sensitive and perfectly paced.

"Buckle up, sweetheart. We're in for one hell of a ride."

Nancy and Wyatt have known each other for years and whilst Wyatt knows her past was not what people would expect the trust and respect he shows her was heartwarming. He was exactly what I was hoping for and once more a Kat Latham man has stolen a piece of my heart.

This series has brought many superb visits to Marietta and there are couples here that will no doubt feature and bring added value to future books from this imprint. It's worth pointing out that, as per the previous books, Two Nights with His Bride can be read as a standalone, but you will appreciate it even more if you have not only read this series but One Night with Her Bachelor and Taming the Legend; whilst these are separate series, they feature Wyatt's siblings who themselves are great. And now begins my wait for Austin Wilder; he may have only made a fleeting appearance but he made an impression.

After reading all of the books in this series I was looking for the answers they had led us to believe were in this book.
Who was Jared kissing in the alley? Why was he late to the rehearsal dinner?
But this book didn't address any of the questions that had been signposted along the way. Everyone guessed it wasn't going to be a happy ever after for Nancy and Jared but I was surprised at the direction this book took. Jared was obviously a selfish man in any disguise and Nancy deserved her happy ending!
A lovely story of how money doesn't buy you everything in life and the riches you thought you were seeking were there all along in the family and friends you hold dear.
Loved reading the conclusion to this story.

Now that is how you end a series on a high note! Kat Latham's Two Nights with His Bride was exactly what I wanted in this sixth and final book in the multi-authored Montana Born Brides series from Tule Publishing. Nancy Parsons, aka Nancylynn Pruitt, was a constant figure throughout the first five books and to finally have her story told in such a manner is the proverbial cherry on top of what's been an entertaining and fun-filled series about six women who become brides and the men who they spend their forever-afters with. The snippets we get of Nancy and her groom-to-be, Jared Lovell, show that their fairy tale love story is exactly that: a fairy tale, one that sounds too good to be true and we get evidence of it time and again. I found myself wishing she would see him for what he truly was but sometimes, we see what we want to see, refusing to listen to others when they tell you otherwise, as was the case with Nancy.

With stories like this, you pretty much have an idea what kind of an ending you're going to get but the route that Nancy and Wyatt took to get their was such a pleasant and unexpected ride and I couldn't help but grin like a complete nut when I got to the end. I oohed and I aahed and I simply enjoyed this contemporary romance and Nancy and Wyatt's tale of true love coming to fruition in its own perfect time. On a side note, I had no clue that Wyatt was connected with Gabriel Morales from One Night with Her Bachelor (the Bachelor Auction series) and Camila Morales from Taming the Legend (the London Legends series). I had already read both books and completed both series and it's highly possible that Wyatt was mentioned then but I didn't make the connection until Gabriel showed up in this story. Silly me. I'm happily recommending the Montana Born Brides series with an extra special mention to my favorite book in the bunch: Two Nights with His Bride by Kat Latham. This very fab read gets five out of five stars. ♥

Finally the wedding that has had Marietta running ragged! When the bridesmaids book a two night adventure, Nancy is reunited with childhood crush Wyatt Wilder. They both realize pretty quickly they aren't kids any more! When Nancy's fiancee Jared shows up unexpectedly she begins to realize just how overbearing he can be. Trouble in Marietta?????

I really loved this one! It wrapped up the series beautifully. Nancy and Wyatt are great characters and seem perfect together! This can easily be read standalone but I recommend the whole series!

Like anyone who has followed the Montana Born Brides series from the beginning, I have been waiting for Nancy’s story. We have gotten bits and pieces, mostly about the super jerk Jared (who on principle I despised from the first mention of his sorry ass) – now we have the future bride’s perspective… and it is simply amazing.

For this review I’m simply going to let the synopsis above be the lead-in tease. Because, honestly I do not want to give away much in the way of spoilers. (and it would be so easy for me to give a complete summary of this amazing love story, but I won’t) Two Nights with His Bride is a story that you need to read for yourself to completely fall in love with the characters and the story. It is detailed enough, rich enough, engaging enough and definitely sexy enough to read as a stand alone novel. So if this is the first time you’ve encountered the Montana Born Brides don’t hesitate to read this addition to the series (actually the final story in this particular series). Yet, I have to say that you will be so much more deeply engaged with the characters if you have read the entire series. Not totally necessary, but the ride will mean so much more to you if you have, in my opinion.

Nancy is simply a sweetheart. She’s risen to the top of her profession and she should have it all. But Nancy is also impulsive, which gets her in a lot of trouble – and one huge spot of trouble is the man she has chosen to marry, Jared. She is seeing a different side of him than is shown to his adoring fans. This time her jump in now and think later tendencies might have landed her in the biggest mistake of her life.

Wyatt has known Nancy most of her life and he is convinced that Jared is not the man for Nancy. In fact, he is the man for this impulsive lady – he now just has to convince her of that fact. A trail ride set up by her bridesmaids is the perfect chance to show her exactly the kind of man she needs in her life – now and forever.

The author, Kat Latham, doesn’t take it easy on us readers either. Expect some moments when you don’t know exactly how things are going to turn out. Edge of your seat reading is definitely in your future in Two Nights with His Bride. I loved this final story in the series, it offers a lovely couple, tension, tears, laughter, a chance to catch up with characters from previous novels – and a absolutely charming romance where there will be happy ever afters – it just takes a bit of time to get there. But the journey is so worth it. Pick this one up and simply enjoy.

Nancy, a famous soap star and Marietta native, is engaged to Jared, Hollywood’s biggest star. They are marrying soon at a ranch near Marietta and the two are causing grief throughout the town (as noted in other books in the series). Nancy is whisked away on a nature adventure by her bridesmaids where they find their guide is none other than Wyatt, the boy she crushed on in her younger years and who knows all her childhood secrets. They have an uncomfortable reunion, but soon settle into a friendly, comfortable friendship.

After Jared makes an unexpected appearance at the girls’ weekend, and creates some unplanned and unwelcome adventure for the group too, Wyatt becomes convinced that Jared is not the man for Nancy, although he believes she is old enough to make her own choices. In the days and even hours leading up the wedding, readers find that there are many others who question whether Jared is right for Nancy. Nancy, however, is convinced that Jared is the right man, although even if he wasn’t, she’s in too deep to get out now.

I enjoyed this book, even though I didn’t find it as ‘light’ as other stories in the series. In fact, there were times that I was even a bit sad knowing that Nancy’s story is far from unique in this world. I appreciated getting a glimpse at a couple of the characters from One Night with Her Bachelor, and I was both content and pleased with the conclusion. I love that so many authors can contribute to entwining storylines that even cross series – so fun!

Thank you to the author and publisher for an ARC, from which this review is based, in exchange for an honest review.

I have really enjoyed the Montana Born Brides series, especially the way each book has teased the big celebrity wedding taking place in Marietta.

In Two Nights with His Bride, we find out what happened to Nancy and Jared. I was expecting a story about a spoiled Bridezilla, but instead got a sweet story about a woman who had made her way in the world and realizes, not too late, that she doesn't need to make compromises in order to ensure her happiness or success in life.

Nancy and Jared are the perfect celebrity couple to the world. Only her friends know that Jared in not all that he seems to be. Quite by accident, Nancy's bridemaids hook her up with a camping bachelorette party lead by her childhood crush, Wyatt. For his part, Wyatt has always felt protective of Nancy, but the woman that has returned to Marietta is grown up, enticing and, in his words, "admirable."

Together, Wyatt helps Nancy live up to her potential and Nancy realizes that her crush was just the premature love that she comes to feel for Wyatt. Pick up this suprisingly emotional book to find out what really happened at the ill-fated celebrity wedding in Marrietta, Montana.

Title: Two Nights With His Bride (Book 6 in the Montana Born Bride)
Author: Kat Latham Genre: Contemporary Romance

The theme is Montana Born Brides and for this book, its specifically celebrity wedding meets Runaway Bride. The whole Montana Born Brides by Tule Publishing plays on the overarching plot wherein a homegrown hollywood celebrity is holding her wedding in the town of Marietta, Georgia. Each of the books has its own plot going on but it centers around this main event. One other thing that seems to be common among these books as well was how nice the celebrity bride was and how much of a douche bag the groom is. All the books however can be read as a standalone.

The bride is Nancy Parson aka Nancylynn Pruitt small town girl, who grew up dirt poor but so determined she actually did break out and became a star in Hollywood and now she's about to marry another star to make her fairy tale come true. But is Jared really her prince charming or the douche manipulator that her close friends and family and even the people of Marietta seems to think he is. Wyatt Wilder has known Nancy since she was a little girl but when she was fifteen their closeness seemed to have detonated. Never one to mince words, which is also his weakness, he's seen how much Nancy has grown and how much her dirt bag/stalker of a fiance really didn't deserve her. So can he stop this wedding from even happening and can he finally admit that he has more than sentimental feelings for the girl he once knew.

I love how the characters of Nancy and Wyatt was played out in the book, what they were to each other, how close they really were and how those feelings seems to have given way to something stronger and more adult. Kat Latham managed to put down on paper such a simple but multilayered relationship that it really does make you believe in a happily ever after without one sacrificing who they are but instead they become stronger for who they are to one another. The dialogue was fantastic, the tone was light despite the theme of emotional and psychological abuse, the secondary characters were all perfect. Fans of the series will definitely breath a sigh of relief that douchebag Jared gets his due (yes it seems the A-hole is the secondary overarching plot).

Two Nights with His Bride is the sixth and final book in the Montana Born Brides Series. It is however, the only book I’ve read from the series. It’s definitely the book I’ve been waiting for. Two Nights with His Bride is full of surprises. The biggest being how crazy I am for the hero, Wyatt Wilder. Wyatt was mentioned in Kat’s One Night with Her Bachelor, and I was sure I wasn’t going to like the man. I thought Wyatt was going to be one of those heroes who had to be knocked down and put back together in order to be likeable. From the minute he appeared in the book, I knew I was wrong about him and page after page I realized what an amazing man he was.

Nancy Parsons is known as Nancylynn Pruitt in Marietta, Montana, where she was born and raised. She has returned to marry a man she thinks can give her everything she’s ever wanted. Her bachelorette weekend is going to be the catalyst to finally allowing her to wake up and truly take a look at herself and her life, whether she wants to or not.

I’ve already gushed about Wyatt but he’s a man who has known Nancy her entire life. He was her high school crush who broke her heart. He’s also the only person who knows a secret that Nancy prefers to leave in her past. It’s this secret and their shared past that makes Nancy nervous. Wyatt was once her savior and he has no intention on stopping now.

Two Nights with His Bride is a second chance love story with main characters who are strong, courageous, and likeable. Kat Latham has written a story that includes a topic I feel very strongly about. She’s made the characters and their actions real. She’s shown that real love doesn’t mean you have to stifle yourself or live in fear. Real love isn’t about putting someone down or belittling them just to make yourself look or feel better. Real love is being there for the each other, whether it’s a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, or simply just being there.

Kat has once again proved why she’s an author I look forward to reading. She brings wonderful main and secondary characters to her stories. She makes you laugh and tugs on your heartstrings. She somehow manages to make me never want a story to end. I’m definitely looking forward to returning to Marietta when Austin Wilder, Wyatt’s brother gets his story.

This is book 6 in the series and I have read them all. We have seen bits and pieces of Nancy's story in past books...and I have to say I wondered a bit about her. I already knew going into this book and I did not like Jared at all...but the jury was still out on Nancy.

I don't do spoilers so I am not going to give an in depth recap of the story. I have to say I was anxious to read Nancy's full story and I really enjoyed it. I loved Wyatt and I understood Nancy and grew to love her also....and my feelings for Jared stayed the same...I can't stand the ass.

This is a really great addition to the series and I am guessing it may be the last one...since the others all focused around the upcoming celebrity wedding (Nancy's). These books are considered stand alone but I would highly recommend the series as you will have a greater understanding of who everyone is.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I absolutely LOVE Kat Latham. Two nights with his bride was well written and engaging. I started it before bed with the intention of reading a couple of chapters before bed. Next thing I know a few hours have passed and I'm finishing the book. I admit, going into this story I had a very low opinion of Nancy Parsons because of the previous books in this series, but shortly into the book I understood her better and actually liked her. Wyatt was her match in every way and I enjoyed reading about them falling for each other. He was strong, sexy, and smart. I found myself falling for him right along with Nancy. I give this book 5 stars and recommend reading it, along with all of the other books by Kat Latham.

3 - 3.5 Knowing How to Work it With What's Given Stars

Well, while reading all these past books of this series, I knew this book would be exactly what it was...and did it bother me while reading it... Not one bit. Kat Latham handled the anchor position of this relay with her strong writing ability.

Ms. Latham was given the most challenging storyline; NancyLynn, a hometown girl who was the brunt of words and actions which cut deep. She grew up poor, wore discarded clothing of her peers and was the recipient of the charity baskets they made from foodstuffs they no longer felt they wanted. This girl took all of it and turned it into play acting in her mind to get by. She used that talent and made it her career. Now these town folk are tripping all over themselves to curry favor with this Wedding Event.

The man she is marrying, Jared...He is an arrogant, self-centered, cheating, asswipe, famous actor/producer. We have seen his actions through the eyes of the town during the previous books in the series. He is the kind of manipulator who found his pawn... honed in on her weaknesses and exploited them for his own gain. He has the education and charm of a serial killer causing her to have her words twisted and turned when she tries to assert herself.

And we have the Hometown good, straight talking Man, Wyatt. He grew up with this girl; saw her grit and how she was determined to get out. Also was 6 years older than her. She had been a soft spot to his father and was asked to look out for her when she started hanging around with an older guy. Wyatt did look out for her and NancyLynn was saved by him. She decided to reach out and try to be with him not long after that....but Wyatt, 21 and torn... knew this was not what he should do...and pushed her away. This pushing away re-enforced her negative feelings ... thinking he didn't want her....that no one would ever want her due "station on life".

So, here we have the final tale with these main characters who have been in and out of the other books. Nancy's bridesmaids from hell kidnap, blindfold and dress her in a Bunny Costume to take her on her girl's only getaway before the wedding. She has been hinting to go to a spa but to her shock and surprise... they arranged a rafting/camping adventure instead. When they take off the blindfold, she is in front of Wyatt, the one man she was trying to avoid during this whole time. The girls hired him to lead them on their adventure. His company is known for taking people down through the rivers near Yellowstone and giving them the VIP treatment. Nancy is Dying; the girls have her in a Playboy Bunnysuit because Jared calls her Bunny... Right....Wyatt is looking at her and he is having a very hard time training his eyes to stay on her face....When he goes into his Company's store for clothes for Nancy, she turns and asks her friends... Why this...and not the spa she hinted for...These dingbats looked at her and explained... they remembered her stories she told of Marietta when she first came to Los Angeles... how she talked of her favorite times... camping, fishing and hiking...how it use to light up her face. It was there in that moment these women who were the bane of everyone's interaction with them...it was there we were able to understand why they were part of these books.

Wyatt gives Nancy clothes to change into for the trip. As she goes into the store she sees how he has made a huge success doing what he loves. So Wyatt... a straight, tell it like it is guy. A man to admire... and her feelings for him had never died...they were there nudging her... causing her to fight to regain her focus on her love for Jared and the upcoming wedding.

She comes out; the van and gear are packed and ready to go. They all change into wetsuits for the rafting as the water is very cold. One of the girls takes a picture of all of them before they start and it includes Wyatt with his suit on but only pulled up to his hips. Nancy takes a gander at the pic and seeing it tells her friend to Not post it... knowing it would trigger Jared in questioning her about Wyatt and why his arm is around her. It wouldn't matter his arm is around the other girl too... she just is very aware and hypersensitive of how he thinks all of the time...she has been conditioned.

We can see the writing on the wall as she makes excuses for him to the girls... and Wyatt is hearing the things she is saying...paying attention. He has also started chanting a new mantra... She is off limits...she is taken. For Wyatt has always had a soft spot for Nancy...that fateful night he wanted her... but also knew it was wrong... she was just too young. Now she is grown into this woman...and he sees bits and pieces of the determined girl from long ago...On this trip Nancy has been more relaxed and happier than she has been for a long time. She has made a home for her long suffering family...has the mortgage to show for it...and by marrying Jared... she will never have to be worried again...He came to her when she needed him and thought this man was a safe haven, a protector and someone she could rely on...

As the rafting continues we see the draw between Nancy and Wyatt... the natural way they communicate; straight forward, no BS... just talking about things without hidden agendas or manipulations. Nancy see the man Wyatt has become...and she fights her inner voice telling her all the things which Jared does to make her do what He wants is not what it should be and to look to Wyatt.. what a real caring man is.

I don't think I need to tell you where this story is going...there is no cheating or underhanded actions by Nancy or Wyatt. We are shown quite clearly as the story progresses what a jerk and swine Jared is...

As I mentioned earlier, it is not the easiest of positions to write the final book in a series such as this. We have already had bits and pieces of these characters through the other books and our minds will have made some kind of assessment before this book ever begins. With all of these factors, this book was predictable in its storyline; however we did have a better result than usual. Wyatt was a man who saw the need in Nancy to let her make her own choices. Nancy saw her bad habits of letting a man "save" her in times of need. The author did not have the characters fall into the usual patterns and gave a little push back which helped the story.

I enjoyed reading all of these books and Tule Publishing has used this theme of tying series together to allow readers to feel as if they know the locations, characters and community. I think they have figured out it is a winning combination. I agree.

So it's finally here Nancy Lynn Pruitt's getting married in her home town of Marietta. It's the celebrity wedding of the century she and Jared are going to be so happy.......aren't they?. The bridesmaids from hell have planned a hen party getaway to take her back to her roots not realising that the man of her dreams and fantasies as a young girl would be right there with her. For Wyatt this is a nightmare first Nancy steals his chance to save the family farm now she's here invading his work. Where Nancy's concerned Wyatts always had a white night complex and fortunately for Nancy that's not changed over the years. Will Nancy go through with the wedding and live happily ever after with Wyatt or will she marry th douche Jared- readers of the Marietta series know why I call him a douche it's the perfect finale to the series and I loved reading it.

Kat Latham says she had trouble writing Two Nights With His Bride, but that is certainly not evident when you are reading the book. This one is the sixth and final in the Montana Born Brides series and tells the story of soap star Nancy Parsons, a.k.a Nancylynn Pruitt, who has chosen her home town of Marietta Montana as the venue for her celebrity wedding. Nancy's bridesmaids have organised a rafting weekend for her bachelorette party and the only person more horrified to find that their guide is her former neighbour Wyatt Wilder is Wyatt himself. Having grown up in each other's pockets, and both having had tough childhoods they're none too pleased to see each other again, yet both of them feels a strange pull of attraction as the rafting weekend gets under way. Despite the attraction Nancy is loyal to fiancé Jared, and Wyatt respects her for this. What he neither likes nor respects is Jared's overbearing manner with Nancy, and it is clear tat she too as some niggling doubts.
I found Nancy to be a bit of a weak character early in the book, but as the story progressed she grew a spine and I found myself cheering for her in the end. Wyatt appealed from the get go - all man yet caring and sensitive as well. The setting mainly on and around the Yellowstone River sounded amazing to me. Just my sort of place and what a way to spend a weekend! This book is well written, the characters are nicely developed, the plot is enticing enough to keep those pages turning and all that makes for perfect weekend reading.

Nancy has waited her whole life to marry the man of her dreams, but this wedding is turning into a hot mess and she is so not in the mood to deal with one more thing. The only thing going right is she is home and she is getting her weekend away and it will be nice and relaxing, or so she hopes and thinks. Jared is a jerk, thats all I have to say about him. Wyatt is ready to get this weekend going with another rafting tour he is so happy to be out on the water thats where he usually finds his most peace. He least expected the weekend he is about to get full of crazy surprises I mean what more could you ask for from 3 or make that 4 hollywood types. I love the fun attitude of this book is was up and down but the storyline was steady and fun full of surprise you really don't see coming, and some you do. The quirky characters really sum up the rest of this series really nicely and I loved catching up with a few from other Montana born book series. This is a short fun but amazing read you won't be disappointed.

Nancy is about to get married, but her bachelorette trip leads her back to her childhood friend Wyatt. She soon realizes she has more feelings for him than her fiance, but her career is on the line.

I enjoyed the time spent on a river in Montana along with the characters, and I bought the romance even though it happened in a short amount of time.

Kat Latham did it! Honestly, I thought it would be impossible to make Nancylynn Pruitt, aka actress, Nancy Parson into a character that I not only liked but also sympathized with after reading the first five books in the series. This author did have a huge challenge because Wyatt, by his own admission, was not a good older brother to his stepbrother growing up. Since I had also read Gabriel’s story, Wyatt was not on my list of heroes either. Then she was able to give the two manic bridesmaids some redeeming qualities too, Boy, am I impressed.

Two Nights with His Bride deserves 5 stars for the way the author took these two from hardship childhoods, developing them into worthy characters. The insight into how they overcame their past caused me to start to pull for them. Though I will say Ms. Latham waited until the last possible moment for Nancy to see the light. That wedding dress would have been the last straw for me. Even if Wyatt had not come riding up, I believe this strong woman would have found a way out of the marriage before it was too late, even wearing that hideous dress..

I even liked the conclusion. Jared still is the controlling vindictive jerk doing exactly what he threatened to do. Slowly over time Nancy is able to rebuild her career, while I was thinking she would be decide to give it all up. Instead this conclusion stay within the behavior that Nancy has shown throughout her life. She simply lost herself for a while with Jared.

Easily a stand-alone but why would you want to read just one. The building up to Nancy’s HEA is worth every penny for all five previous books. I kind of like how her almost wedding from hades helped so many other couples find happiness.

This story has a different flavour than the other Montana Born Brides series books. Nancy is engaged to Jared, and we soon find out that Jared is a very controlling and not very nice guy. While Wyatt isn't the only one who tries to convey to Nancy that she's making a mistake, he's the one who held a piece of her heart long ago, and still does. Will she see the truth before it's too late?

I really like Kat Latham's writing and she does a wonderful job with this story too, painting the picture of how a woman can be fooled by a man into thinking that he's a wonderful protective guy when he really is just a controlling person. I cringed for Nancy as she tried to justify his behaviour to her friends and family, and most of all to herself. It was sometimes hard to read this story, I wanted to shake her awake and make her see what she was doing. Wyatt comes across as a friendly, generous man and you can see how Nancy's relationship with Jared affects him. When Nancy finally sees the truth of Jared's behaviour, Wyatt is there to help her figure things out, and they have some sweet and sexy scenes, with a happy ending. 3.5 stars.

And finally we get the story about the bride that's be causing a ruckus in Marietta, Nancy Parsons. Also it was great to be back with the Wilder siblings and their extended family.

Everyone except her is aware that she is marrying the wrong guy but she's too "blindly in love" to see Jared for the jerk that he is. Until her bridesmaids organize a "roughing it in the wild" bachelorette party. But things get complicated when Nancy's childhood friend and crush turns out to be the guide. Getting back to her roots and rehashing their complicated history with Wyatt leaves Nancy with the feeling that something is amiss. Then Jared crashes the bachelorette party and things start falling into perspective. What follows is quite nerve wracking and nail biting for a while but with Wyatt by her side to protect her as he always did we closed on a finale that is quite fitting for this series.

t's finally time for the Hollywood wedding in Marietta. Nancy Parsons is the local girl turned Hollywood starlet, marrying in her hometown using locals for everything... Nancy has done well for herself -- she is no longer poor NancyLynn Pruitt who wore donated clothes and whose family depended on others' generosity to keep them afloat. She is marrying a handsome Hollywood star whom she loves and she looks forward to the security of her marriage. Too bad the groom isn't the Prince Nancy has convinced herself he is. Nancy is relieved when her two Bridesmaids come together to plan a Girls' weekend for her Bachelorette Party because she could really use the time away. Unfortunately, they booked a rafting weekend with Wyatt Wilder -- her high school crush who rejected her. Wyatt was happy to be well away from all the celebrity wedding hoopla, When he realizes that the Bachelorette weekend he is leading is Nancy's, he decides to make the best of it, and try to make amends for his past behavior. It becomes clear to Wyatt fairly quickly that maybe Nancy's making a mistake. Can he convince her that he is the better choice.
Kat Latham is quickly becoming an author on my must-read list. This story is no exception. A fitting end to the Montatna Brides series, she has created a story of two people that are successful at what they tried to do, but flawed and human. Nancy has become successful doing what she once used as an escape from her life, but with all her success, she still fears a return to poverty. She knows she is lucky and tries very hard to be deserving. Unfortunately, the man she put her trust in is a true jerk. One thing she never had was a healthy relationship with a good man. Wyatt is a good man who only wants the best for Nancy, and he spends his time trying to get her to realize that she is worthy of a whole lot more. I don't want to spoil the story with specifics, but I will say that I laughed out loud at some of the antics, wanted to strangle Jared, and rooted for both Nancy and Wyatt. Though it can be read as a stand alone, this was a great ending to the series. The story kept me interested and I was so anxious to find out what would happen next that I could not put it down.

I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest review.

Soap opera star Nancy Parsons thinks she has found her next leading man to play the very big role of husband! Jared seems like the obvious choice but for some reason her heart wont let go of her first love Wyatt Wilder

Wyatt Wilder knows Nancy better than anyone and if there is one thing that he knows it is that the Jared is not the man for her. Can Wyatt keep his heart out of the equation and support her decision or will he throw his good intentions out of the window and show her what a real man looks like?

Read and find out!!

I may have received this book as an ARC but I must admit that I stalk this site waiting for the next book in the Montana Born Bride series or any book that has anything to do with the town of Marietta published by Tule Publishing.

This book did not disappoint it was laugh out loud funny, shocking, sexy and totally bursting with sweetness. I loved every second of it, Nancy at times seemed like a push over when it came to love but when it really mattered she stepped up and did what was needed. Wyatt is soo sexy and manly that you want to just gobble him up.

This book is selling on Amazon kindle for 2.99 and that is a great price. If you know me, my criteria is always, "is this a great book for a great price?", and by golly it is! Great job Kat Latham.

Kat Latham's Two Nights with His Bride wraps up the Montana Born Brides series. This is the story that readers of the series have been waiting for. Nancy is the hometown girl turned soap opera star that has returned to Marietta for her wedding to a Hollywood actor. I loved how the story starts and couldn't put it down until I reached the last page. Latham delivers the feels, I was laughing and lamenting throughout. Nancy and Wyatt's story was a great way to tie up the Montana Born Brides series.

From the first Montana Brides book, Nancylynn Pruitt had interested me. So I followed her story through this series and I got super excited when I finally read Two Nights with His Bride. And I loved it!

Nancylynn Pruit aka Nancy was a bigtime TV soap-opera actress who decided to have her wedding in Montana. She thought she was living her dream. She thought she was in love. Until she saw again her childhood friend Wyatt.

Her groom, Jared Lovell, was adored by many, but the people of Marietta weren't big fans. Especially Wyatt. He thought Jared was a pretentious jerk and Nancy deserved to know the truth and be with a real man who will love her.

This is the last book in the Montana Born Bride series and I am fortunate for the opportunity to read the books. So far, this Kat Latham penned story is my favorite. Two Nights With His Bride had all the ingredients I look for in a good book - drama, hint of comedy, fighting men, hometown hero, intense love affair. Highly recommended summer read!

I started reading these books during the Bachelor Auction series, I am so glad that they were connected to the second series Montana Born Bride series. These books, all of them, were phenomenal!
However, this review is on "Two Nights with His Bride". It is about Nancylynn and Wyatt two people that knew each other growing up. When Nancylynn was in high school her dad did not like Brady, the person she was dating, he thought there was something just off about him and did not trust him. He asked Wyatt to start picking Nancylynn up from high school. The first time Wyatt saw Brady, he felt the same way. Wyatt is six years older than Nancylynn, and for some reason Wyatt feels very protective of her. Unfortunately, Brady does try something and fortunately, Wyatt steps in before it becomes more serious. When Nancylynn finished high school, she moves to Hollywood, becomes a big star and changes her name to just Nancy. She meets Jared on the set of the soap opera she works on when he does a guest appearance on the show. They start dating and they eventually become engaged. Nancy comes home to plan her wedding. However, something is wrong in this relationship; Jared is ... Stop, no spoilers from me!

Kat Latham does a phenomenal job telling this story. She will make you laugh. She will make you aggravated while reading the story! She will make you want to take a steel pipe to Jared! Then, turn around and hug the stuffing out of Wyatt. I am so glad that Nancy told Jared to....... Darn it, I said no spoilers!

I want to thank Net Galley and Tule Publishing for the ARC of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to finish the series…I missed one darn it!

Thank you for reading my review. Please, read "Two Nights with His Bride" and the others in the series as well, you will definitely not be disappointed in any of these books. :-)

And so the brides series comes to its conclusion with the bride's book. Nancy Pruitt is one of Marietta's golden children. She's moved away and become a star. She's living her dream and about the marry the love of her life and co-star, Jared. Their wedding has turned Marietta inside out and inspired several other romances. Except for the fact that Jared is cheating, the bridesmaids can't get along and are just horrible people, the wedding dress is hideous, Nancy is at her wit's end and exhausted. So, to cap it all off, the bachelorette party is a camping trip, a trip run by Wyatt, childhood friend and crush. Wyatt knows Nancy is making a mistake, but it seems there is nothing he can do about it.

And so, the camping trip commences with the bridesmaids making plays for Wyatt who only has eyes for Nancy. The Jared shows up demanding all sorts of nonsense. Wyatt would do almost anything to stop the wedding. Nancy is seriously wondering what she is doing. It's a madcap adventure with hijinks galore mixed with annoying idiot people who really need to grow up.

The wedding day dawns... and then you get the rest of the story.

I really liked Nancy. Not only did she go from passive to taking control of her life, she grew, she learned, she showed everyone up, and she acted with grace and from a position of kindness as opposed to being the Valkyrie she could have been but would have wreaked untold havoc. (Don't get me wrong, wreaking havoc would have been great, but it would also have hurt those she loved.) Wyatt worked overtime to help Nancy see herself better and to help her with all the issues that arose. This is definitely a two heads (or many many heads) are better than one since it took two families to deal with all the mess. I liked how they both worked together and were willing to make sacrifices for each other, how they both bent a bit even when pride demanded they not bend at all. I liked how, in the end, it really was wonderful.

When the love of your life is about to marry someone you risk it all to tell them how you feel.

Wyatt Wilder has one chance to convince Nancy Parsons that her fiancé isn't the man for her.

Take a trip on a bachelorette adventure and see who she ends up with, will there be a wedding?

This book was fresh, flirty and fun. I had a desire to go on an outdoor adventure when I finished the book.
