Synopsis:


Can she trust him again

For the sake of their baby?

Returning to High Mountain pregnant is not the fresh start Carly Davis imagined—nor is telling Jack Peters he’s the father. And with Jack in the early stages of addiction recovery, she questions if he can handle being a parent. But Jack is determined to show that he’s changed, and a chance to prove himself arises when they must care for a litter of rescued baby bunnies. Trust slowly builds between them again, but as unexpected news threatens their fragile bond, can they overcome the uncertainties to be the family they both need?

My Review:

I was excited to return to Montana and Three Sisters Rescue Farm in this wonderful faith filled, second chance romance from best selling author Allie Pleiter. The second book in the series, A Montana Sized Secret brings back some favorite characters, while also introducing a few new ones, including couple Carly and Jack.

Carly and Jack split up after his drinking addiction caused them to take a step that neither were truly ready for. Now Carly's back in town, Jack's reclaimed his faith and found sobriety, and surprise, there's also a baby on the way that neither of them were expecting.

In true Allie Pleiter fashion, this ended up being a wonderful story that highlights the importance of faith no matter what we're going through, and doesn't sugarcoat the hard things that life often throws at us. Besides an unplanned pregnancy, addiction, church hurt and familial struggles all play a part in the story, and I appreciated the grace and truth with which each of these serious issues was handled. While I won't give spoilers, there's also some added struggles later on that not only made the story that much more compelling, but also taught me about certain things that I had no clue were possible.

All in all, this was a wonderful second chance romance that I had a hard time wanting to put down. I didn't love either main character for the first half of the story, but they both grew on me after that, and I was pleasantly surprised with how the author chose to wrap up their story.

The added bits about the adorable bunnies and the rescue farm were just the icing on the cake, and I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a clean, faith based romance to pick up this summer.

Final Rating: 4/5.


Thanks so much to the author for providing me with a copy of the novel to read and review!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author as part of her review team Allie's Allies. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and this is my honest review.


Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
