I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review.

I have the immense pleasure of getting to be a part of Allie Pleiter's Review Team, called Allie's Allies, and today I'm looking forward to sharing my review of her upcoming release with you all.

Publication Date: July 29th, 2025

Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Romance

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 :)

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...
