Truly Madly Montana (A Medicine River Romance)
Truly Madly Montana (A Medicine River Romance) - Fiona Lowe Truly Madly Montana (Medicine River #2)by Fiona Lowe

Sexy and charming Australian doctor Will Bartlett will do anything to help out a friend, even if it means moving to Bear Paw for the summer. Some small-town hospitality, and the uncomplicated friendship of his co-worker, Millie, is just the ticket to shake off the restlessness that’s been gripping him lately.
Millie Switkowski, RN and medical student, is home for her clinical rotation, and she’s determined to make this summer so much better than last. She’s got a year of medical school under her belt, her diabetes is under control and she’s kicked her crazy crush for Will Bartlett, who only ever treated her as “one of the guys.”
But when Will turns out to be Millie’s supervising physician, without warning the summer gets a whole lot hotter than either of them anticipated. With both of them holding onto thorny secrets, can they walk away with their hearts intact?



My Review:
Truly Madly Montana is a mish mash of small town living, redeeming a future, and over coming pasts thrown in with the ensemble of characters living in our River series for the second installment, along with a pinch of "general hospital" thrown in. Everyone has something they have to overcome in their lives and that is the issue we face in this installment and I felt Fiona handled the relationships and the development very well. I really enjoyed Truly Madly Montana it was a really beautiful book that I connected to on a personal level and I like reading stories that can provide that kind of emotion for me.



My Rating:
4 Stars

Truly Madly Montana (Medicine River #2) by Fiona Lowe - Blog Tour, Excerpt, Review & Giveaway
Truly Madly Montana (A Medicine River Romance) - Fiona Lowe
This series keeps getting better! Will and Millie get off to a rocky start, partly due to her crush on him and partly because of an assumption he makes about her. The following weeks of them getting to know each other as friends and then lovers are filled with humor, medical emergencies, sad memories and a bit of heartache. Fortunately for all of us who like HEA's, Will redeems himself and goes after Millie. As a bonus, there is a second romance between the nerdy town librarian and the stern new sheriff's deputy. Ethan is one the sweetest guys ever and I wish his and Tara's story would have been longer. I love this small town series and look forward to the next one. I hope Ty, the heartbroken cowboy from the first book in the series get his HEA soon!

Montana Actually
Montana Actually - Fiona Lowe

I received a digital and print copy in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley and Berkley.

I thought that Montana Actually was a great book, the no strings attached hook up between both our h/h ofcourse builds up to a more serious relationship and while there is quite a bit of deeper emotional lessons the author adds about obligations to family and loved ones there feels to be a bit of resistance to that idea from our characters. I did feel as if there could have been a better connection between the h/h that the author explored on a deeper scale but in the end even though I didn't get the predictable happy ending and loose ends tied up I still enjoyed the book.

You just got the big news and it triplets, quads, or more and you can't have a drink cause you are so knocked up. 

 

Here is a collection of great Romance Novels that deal with what do to when you are expecting or have multiples. Cheers to all of you wonderful mothers and fathers of the hordes!

 

1. Let's Misbehave by Lisa Plumley

 

With no skills besides scoring the perfect stilettos, maxing out her credit card, and partying till dawn, Marisol Winston is about to get a lesson in the real world—and in love...

After years of perfecting her party-girl image, Marisol wants to open an L.A.-based deluxe boutique. Unfortunately her father refuses to foot the bill until she agrees to do a stint in shopaholic rehab. Surely she can survive a few weeks without Dior, right? But part of Marisol's anti-retail remedy entails getting a real job as a nanny/housekeeper in Podunkville, Arizona. Suddenly she’s knee-deep in PB&Js and dirty laundry, surprised to find herself just a teensy bit smitten with her three sticky-fingered charges—and their deliciously distracting Dad (even if he does wear discount denim).

Quarterback Cash Connelly has one last shot at being re-signed to the pros, which means he needs a nanny who runs a tight ship. Marisol seems to know way more about Tiffany’s than T-ball, and she has more miniskirted sex appeal than is strictly
necessary for laundering jockey shorts. But his kids seem positively smitten. Well, who wouldn't love a woman who serves up ice cream for breakfast? Now if only Cash can find a way to stick to his strict hands-off-the-nanny policy...

 

2. Single Dad's Triple Trouble by Fiona Lowe

 

Dr. Gabe Lewis is a single dad...to triplets!

 

But Gabe's adorable tots are triple the trouble--when it comes to simple things like babies' bath time, this brilliant doctor meets his match.

 

He knows someone who could help, someone really special who has recently re-entered his life. But Gabe once broke Dr. Elly Ruddock's heart in two—can he perform another miracle by mending it again, with the help of his mischievous trio?

 

3. Lisbon: Richard and Rose by Lynne Connolly

 

On a ship bound for Portugal with her children and the man she loves, Rose should be blissfully happy. Except Richard treats her like she’s made of porcelain. She’s recovered from the childbed fever that nearly killed her, yet he won’t share her bed and it’s driving her mad.

 

To win him back body and soul, she resolves to use every wicked, seductive trick he’s taught her. Until a possible attempted murder on board puts them both on alert for the trouble that seems to dog their every move.

 

Richard is almost relieved to have something to investigate. He loves Rose too much to risk losing her—which is exactly what could happen if he gets her pregnant again. When it becomes clear a series of accidents is no such thing, they realize an old enemy has caught up with them.

 

It’s imperative for Richard and Rose to work together to defeat this foe, but their new distance could prove their undoing. Especially when Mother Nature conspires to make them endure one last, desperate test of their love…

 

4. The McCallum Quintuplets by Mary Anne Wilson

 

"And Babies Make Seven" 

 

Will a weekend getaway in a secluded cabin rekindle the sparks between new parents Adam and Maggie McCallum?

 

5. Multiples Mystery by Alice Sharpe

 

Olivia Capri knew giving birth to quads would cause a stir in her media-starved small town. But she didn't realize it would bring back Zac Bishop, the boy she'd once loved with all her teenaged heart. Luckily, as sheriff, he'd returned just in time. It seemed someone was after her and her babies thanks to a past she knew nothing about. And though she knew whoever it was didn't stand a chance against Zac and his protective nature, reminiscing about old times stirred up too many long-buried emotions. Still, Zac assured her everything would be okay, all she had to do was trust him. And she did. With everything but her heart.

 

6. The Baby Invasion by Helen Conrad

 

Scott Carrington--bachelor for life. The man is downright allergic to children. So when divorced mom Cathy Feenstra appears next door with six young ones in her care, he vows to stay as far away as he can, no matter how cute and sexy she is.


But Fate is not on his side. When a bad guy threatens Cathy, Scott finds himself playing protector, and before he knows what hit him, he’s racing across the countryside with a van full of babies and a cuddly woman he’s rapidly falling for.

 

7. Five of Hearts by Jennifer DeCuir

 

Dean was looking for a quiet place to put down new roots and leave the craziness of his old celebrity life behind him. His new house, on a rocky bluff overlooking the Atlantic, seems ideal. The only other house on the road is a summer cottage and was sure to be empty except for a few weeks during the summer. Unfortunately for him, that summer rental next door came with a year-round caretaker. A gorgeous redheaded caretaker and her three mischievous heathens.

 

Shannon didn’t have any use for men. Her mother raised her alone and after her ex-husband deserted her upon learning they weren’t having one baby but three at once, she was doing the single mom routine with her own triplets. Sure it got lonely being out here on the bluff, away from the rest of Scallop Shores. So she may have been a tad excited to learn someone had bought the house next door. Until that someone moved in. Looking more delicious than any man had a right to, Shannon wanted to ignore him. But her new neighbor was hiding something, and she was intrigued.

 

Years ago, as lead singer for the boy band Five of Hearts, Dean learned that women only wanted him for his money and fame. Not for the person he was. So he has a good reason for hiding his alter-ego from his neighbor and everyone in Scallop Shores. Right? But the closer he gets to Shannon and her children, the more he realizes he may have made a mistake in keeping the truth from them. Because a relationship requires honesty and trust to make it work. Was it too late to stop hiding and start doing a little trusting of his own?

 

8. The Doctor's Family by Lenora Worth

 

Raising four-year-old triplets and an abandoned teenager, single mother Arabella Clayton Michaels has her hands full. She loves everything about her big family in tiny Clayton, Colorado. But when a Denver surgeon arrives with the news that her beloved teenager is his long-lost niece, Arabella worries she'll lose the girl—and much more.

 

Jonathan Turner's harrowing past makes her want to open her heart to him. But will the handsome doctor accept a bigger ready-made family than either dreamed was possible?

 

9. Father Most Wanted by Marie Ferrarella

 

Never let anyone get too close were the words single father Tyler Breckinridge chose to live by. And except for occasional bouts of loneliness, he did just fine...until his three little girls led him to lovely bookstore owner Brooke Carmichael.

 

She was a woman whose sweet temptations made him forget his best-laid plans. And Tyler longed to woo Brooke with kisses that left her hungering for his touch. But he knew their future was one he could never claim, for he had secrets he kept under lock and key. Still, he would do almost anything to find a home in her arms...

 

10. Quade's Babies by Brenda Jackson

 

Quade Westmoreland's one-night love affair with Cheyenne had branded him body and soul, but he'd never even learned her last name. Almost a year later, driven by memories and one incriminating photo, the sexy operative had finally tracked her down—and discovered three little babies bearing his features. Learning he was a father made Quade even more determined: he would claim Cheyenne Steele in every way. Shockingly, the irresistible beauty seemed intent on resisting him. But the Westmoreland destiny was at stake, and Quade would fight for what was his.…
