A second chance stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a literary agent from NYC who returns to her Southern hometown and the cowboy high school sweetheart she left behind…
I fell in love with him when I was only fifteen—tall, handsome, and so damn charming—it was impossible not to.Years later, we got married, and I thought we’d have our perfect happily-ever-after.
But I wanted more than being his wife in a small mountain town, so I chased my dream job seven hundred miles away. I begged him to come with me, but he wouldn't leave his family's ranch.
Walking away and letting him go was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced.
But then I meet someone new, and he's everything I need—stability, mutual respect, and ambition. He's my second chance at love. When he proposes, it’s a no-brainer to tell him yes.
There's just one little problem…
I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, who refuses to sign the divorce papers.
Even worse? I never told my fiancé.
Now I have to return to Willow Branch Mountain, find my ex, and demand he sign them.
When I show up at his door and he slams it in my face, I know he's not going to make it easy—especially when those old feelings resurface and I’m left making the hardest decision of my life.
Take My Name is book #1 in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one, and although you don’t have to read them in order, you’ll get a better reading experience if you do.
4.5 I'll take your name stars
I'm thrilled that we are finally getting the Willow Branch Mountain Series. If you have read the Sugarland Creek Series, you'll recall meeting some of their cousins who have a resort ranch. This is the cousins' series. And if this first book is anything to go by, you're going to LOVE it!
Warren is the oldest of the Langston siblings and has been a bit of a grump for the past several years, with good reason, of course. You see, his high school sweetheart went to New York for college and then followed her dream of becoming a literary agent there as well, after they had married. Fast forward seven years, and she is back looking for him to sign the divorce papers that she has sent him several times over the years so she can marry someone else, but he isn't going to make it easy for her. Oh, let the fun begin!
I adored Warren and his caring and nurturing manner. Being the eldest child usually means they're the one who usually helps out with the younger siblings, but that isn't always the case, and the way he cares for Maisie is beyond anything a sibling would do for one another. The term "It's always been you" is perfect for the way Warren feels about Maisie, you can see it in EVERYTHING he has done and hasn't done in the time they have been apart. Oh my heart, to have someone so dedicated to you, I think that is something everyone hopes for in a relationship.
Maisie was a hoot at the beginning, showing up to the ranch in heels, like she forgot what it was like to be in the small town. But once she became less frazzled, it was fun to watch her fall for Warren all over again.
I enjoyed this story so much, I didn't want it to end. Although I must admit that I truly disliked Maisie's fiancé and had a feeling that he was a piece of work, just as he proved himself to be, and if that scene hadn't been added, I would have been happy. However, it was pivotal to the story, so I understand.
Brooke Montgomery has given readers a taste of what's to come in the Willow Brance Mountain Series, and I, for one, cannot wait for the next book - it's going to be a fun one if you enjoy the Brother's Best Friend trope.
I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy SPICY Contemporary Romances, Small Town Romances, Cowboy Romances, Second Chance Romances, Slow Burn Romances, Forced Proximity Romances, or Estranged Lovers Romances.
Happy Reading!!!
