Love in Montana #3
Brave Enough
Hunter Shaw is handsome, charming, and a minor celeb on the collegiate team roping circuit. Not to mention, he looks damn fine in a cowboy hat. So it’s no surprise when he’s ardently pursued to be the star on a new streaming network’s debut program—a reality dating show. The money on offer would do wonders for his family’s charity, but it’s only after catching a glimpse of the show’s host that he’s all-in. The former Ms. Montana catches his eye and his interest…inconvenient, to say the least, when he’s about to date twenty women on national television.
Kipton Howse also desperately needs the money from hosting Swipe Right , but for different reasons. With barely a glance at the contract, she signs on for the two-month shoot. She’ll do her job, collect her payment, then put Shaw Ranch in her rearview. Of course, she didn’t count on loving the place so much…or the entire Shaw family…or Hunter himself. From the moment they meet, sparks fly, and they only get hotter as the show continues, despite a houseful of women vying for his attention.
Sexual tension is at an all-time high when things take a dramatic turn, both on and off the cameras, thanks to the show’s rabid fans—who vote to shake things up in a way no one saw coming. It’s safe to say Kipton and Hunter’s sizzling attraction is no longer a secret. But at least one contestant isn’t ready to admit defeat.
After all…what's reality TV without a bit of drama?
Brave Enough is book three in the Love in Montana series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but for a better reading experience the author recommends you reading in order.

"Brave Enough" is a quick and easy read that fans of reality dating shows like The Bachelor may enjoy. It offers a natural and engaging romance but could benefit from a bit more ranch life and cowboy charm. While it has its moments, it falls short of a four-star read for me due to the crowded family dynamics and the characters' occasional immaturity.
Hunter and Kipton are amazing. I love the chemistry as they work together with the social experiment they are a part of. Kipton is trying to help her parents out for everything they have done for her. Hunter is looking to help the family charity. this dating experiment can go in so many ways. Hunter may be the target for the single ladies, but he has eyes for only one.Kipton is such a sweetheart. You are just going to love her so much for Hunter. I love how they come together. This is my favorite read in the Love in Montana series so far. I love Hunter. I could not put this one down. You need to read this one today.

"Brave Enough" by Kelly Elliott is the third installment in the Love Me in Montana series, and it takes readers on a journey into the world of reality TV dating on a Montana ranch. While it has its moments, I found it to be an okay read, deserving of a three-star rating.

Overall, I thought this story was an enjoyable read. I adored the characters and found the plot to be entertaining. Roping Circuit celebrity, Hunter Shaw, is handsome as they come and a charming bachelor who enjoys his life and isn’t looking to settle down anytime soon. When a streaming network seeks him out for their newest dating show, Hunter feels a little out of his depth. But when Hunter meets the host, Kipton, all bets are off. The attraction between them is instant, but couldn’t have happened at a worse time. To say their situation is complicated would be a complete understatement. I loved watching these two try to navigate their way through all the obstacles that stood in their way; I mean hello, Hunter was on a reality dating show! But in the end, these two had me rooting for them to find their way to happily ever after.
Brave Enough is a terrific addition to the Love in Montana series and I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for Hunter and Kipton’s story.

I loooooooooooooooved Hunter's story! It was such a unique concept and I would totally watch this reality TV show if it was real :) I enjoyed the chemistry between Hunter and Kipton. They were electric from the start. I liked the friendship that started between them and seeing how things began to morph into more. While the producers had other plans, I liked how natural Kip and Hunter were with each other. I was completely captured by their story and I never wanted this book to end! Do yourself a favor and grab your copy now!

Ohhh how I fall into these books! And reality tv used to be my thing so omg I was hooked from the beginning of this book! But also curious to see how Kipton and Hunter would work out. Along with enjoying the ride of this family! I can’t wait for the next story and more from our favorite characters

Brave Enough is the third book in the second generation Montana Series: Hunter & Kipton’s Story. I enjoyed the family portions of the story and keeping up with the progress of the previous couples.
The reasons Hunter and Kipton chose to do the reality show were admirable: he the bachelor and her the host. He had trepidation about taking the role, and the entire process made him uneasy and overwhelmed. The portion of the story that revolves around the show was not my favorite; however, being behind the scenes was fun. I am still a fan of this series and await the next book.

What a plan for love! After the shock in the previous book that Hunter was approached for a reality dating show, I was so excited to see where Kelly would take this, and she did not disappoint! While Hunter isn’t interested in a relationship, he is interested in the money that the network is throwing at him to participate and donate to his father’s charity, and once he finds out who is hosting the show, he decides to move forward with it for the opportunity to meet Kipton. When her accountant runs away with her parents’ money, and her adoptive parents go broke searching for justice, when Kipton is given the opportunity to host a new show, she jumps at the chance so she can help pay off the debt she feels that she caused. While she’s attracted to Hunter, she knows that she has a job to do and tries to keep her feelings in check, but what she doesn’t know is that he feels the same way, and as the show goes on and they forge a friendship, those lines start to blur and get harder to keep in check. This was a hilariously wild ride of reality shows, and I was on the edge of my seat wanting these two to get the HEA they deserve. The only thing I wish we would’ve got from the story was that Kipton’s father would have found the man that stole her money, but overall, it was a hit read and I can’t wait for the next one to fall!

We have the next book within the "Love in Montana" series. I am not a big fan of stories about MC being on a dating reality show, but in this case I think that it was really good.
Their story starts with Hunter being the main contestant on a reality dating show and Kipton being the host of the show.
I can definitely say that Hunter was the one to fall first. As soon as he sees her picture before the show starts, he is in love. The cute thing is that she feels exactly the same when they meet for the first time.
They tried very hard to resist that pull, but they couldn't stop themselves. What I loved in the story was that they were quite young, they fell in love really fast and I could see how much they were in love. The other thing was their families. Everyone was so supportive and they wanted to see them together even with the show running.
When they got together...OMG, it was so sweet. The heat and spice between them was scorching hot and the scenes with them were just so so good.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Brave Enough is book 3 in the Love in Montana series by Kelly Elliott and is the second generation of the Shaw family in Meet in Montana series.
Up next is Hunter Shaw and Kipton Howse’s story. When Hunter is approached about a reality dating show wanting him to be the bachelor, he is not sure but decides to just go with the flow though he’s not interested in a relationship but the money for his father, Brock’s charity foundation. Then he finds out the host of the show is Kipton, something clicks and he hasn’t even met her yet. Once that happens…sparks ignite but…he needs to date the other women from the show…
What a twist of fate, friends to lovers, love at first sight, jealousy, seeing family from both series and so much more..can’t wait for Rose’s book coming up next!

This book series keeps getting better!
I will admit I don’t keep up with TV dating shows so that world was new to me but anytime Kelly Elliott adds a Shaw boy to the mix, you know it’s going to be good.
And that teaser for Rose’s book …… I cannot wait!!!

This story felt like a big hug you didn’t know you needed. It was sweet and funny and I enjoyed the slow burn. Hunter and Kipton’s attraction was instantaneous with a forbidden vibe which made it entertaining to watch play out. I’m addicted to this series and would love to be adopted by the Shaw family.

I love that Hunter and Kipton immediately formed an alliance and friendship. The chemistry between them was palpable, and I was waiting on pins and needles for it to explode. The spice, the family dynamic, everything about this book was so great. I adored how the Shaw family embraced not only Kipton, but also her parents, as their own. Devoured this book in one sitting and can’t wait for the next one! *I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

OMG! I cant even put in words how much I LOVED Kipton and Hunters story!
It was soooo different from anything I've read in the past.
Hunter entering a dating show and then finding his true love was not what I expected at all! Especially not with the gorgeous host.
I seriously adore these two and the familys. I'm addicted to these people and cant wait to see what Kelly has in store for us next.
The cover is so pretty. I need them all on my shelf!
5 Stars

WOW! Kelly Elliott has done it again! I absolutely loved Brave Enough the third book in her Love in Montana series! The Love in Montana series is a spinoff series of Meet Me in Montana series, which I LOVED! I can honestly say that Brave Enough is an incredible love at first sight love story, which filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions, and it was impossible to put it down. I loved every moment on every page. Kelly Elliott continues to deliver incredibly written love stories that I LOVE to read, and she is one of my favorite authors to read. I love this incredible love at first sight love story, the Hamilton, Montana setting, and the amazing characters, they feel like family! Kelly Elliott definitely does not disappoint her readers with all the feels in Brave Enough and has once again delivered an amazing story filled with everything that I have come to love about and expect from her books. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong, passionate females, big loving families, and caring friends, who always support each other? I love how Kelly develops her characters in such a way that you fall in love with them and care about them much like a good friend. I love how Kelly Elliott always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy man. Kelly Elliott continues to deliver all that and so much more. Another favorite part of her book is how she incorporates the picture on the cover of the book into the love story and the title of the book with different statements from Blayze to Kipton, and to Hunter. I am not sure how she continues writing my favorite books to read. I love that Kelly chooses dialogue that stays true to her characters. Brave Enough is filled with all the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments and plot twists that I have come to love and expect in a Kelly Elliott love story. Kelly Elliott continues to prove that she is an incredible storyteller. I love that she writes her stories in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting inside their minds and knowing their thoughts and how they really feel. Brave Enough is a love at first sight love story between Kipton Howse, a former beauty queen, college student, and host of the new reality dating show, Swipe Right and Hunter Shaw, college student, collegiate team roping champion, the bachelor for Swipe Right. Swipe Right is bachelor type show that will be filming on the Shaw Ranch. Kipton and Hunter initially meet via a Zoom meeting, and Hunter is immediately interested in Kipton, and one of the reasons he decided to do the show. Both Kipton and Hunter agree to appear on Swipe Right for the money, but each wants the money for a different reason, Kipton wants to repay her parents for retirement money they recently lost, and Hunter wants to donate his portion to his father, Brock’s foundation for improvements around Hamilton. Kipton is staying at Lincoln and Brock’s house during the filming, while Hunter is staying at the guest house. As Hunter goes on dates, he can either swipe right to keep the contestant or swipe left to send her home. Kipton is jealous as she watches Hunter go on dates with the contestants. Conversation between Hunter and Georgiana flows so easily, I love the chemistry between them and the easy banter. I love that Hunter calls her “Kip” a nickname that no one has called her before. As Kipton and Hunter spend more time together, things change between them. I love how the Shaw family embraced Kipton; she always wanted a big family. I love how the audience voted for Hunter and Kipton to go on a date following a group road trip date in Las Vegas. An unexpected plot twist changes things between Kipton and Hunter and puts their relationship and the show in jeopardy. I love the resolution of the plot twist and Hunter’s role in it. My favorite part is Hunter’s proposal, the location for the proposal and the significance of the engagement ring that Hunter gives to Kipton and the Christmas gift that Hunter’s grandmother, Stella gives to Kipton. I love the ending of their love story and everything they accomplish before getting married. I love the epilogue and how it reveals which Shaw cousin is next to fall in love. Brave Enough was an amazing love at first sight love story; I am so glad that Kipton and Hunter got the happily ever after. I loved all the surprises that filled the pages of this love story and I needed to have my Kleenex nearby on occasion. I love that all the Shaw men follow Blayze’s example with flirting. I love all the characters in this series, but I especially loved catching up with all the characters from the Meet Me in Montana series, it feels like a family reunion. I enjoy all the interactions among all the Shaw siblings and cousins, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love all the new babies that will be coming soon! I love the descriptions of Hamilton, Montana. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I loved every moment. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series. Highly recommend this beautifully written love story.

'Sign me up! Kelly Elliott's latest cowboy is one all the bookish ladies will be fighting over. We'll be hunting Hunter Shaw! - The British Bibliophile
Thank you to Kelly for sending me an ebook Advanced Readers Copy for me to read and leave an honest review as part of her ARC team
NOTE: My review will be spoiler-free but will make reference to the book's blurb so if you wish to go in blind and not know anything about the book, please scroll away from my review...now :)
Are you ready to head back to marvellous Montana with Kelly Elliott's latest upcoming release and third book in her Love in Montana series? Well grab your hat and get ready to save another horse, because Brave Enough is here and so is our next cowboy obsession, Mr. Hunter Shaw. Familiar readers to the series will already know him from mentions across books one and two, but this is his time to stand front and centre.
The Love in Montana series has already become so beloved to me as did the original main series -- Meet Me in Montana -- , that with each new novel added to the series, my excitement grows even more. Cherished Enough left things in a really good place after a change of pace in terms of its storyline compared to book one, Fearless Enough , leaving room for Brave Enough to take the reins in another direction.
Hunter is the youngest son of Brock and Lincoln Shaw (nee Pratt), and the younger brother to Blayze who has his own story in book one, Fearless Enough . As a son of Brock Shaw, he's naturally as handsome as he is talented. Hunter is known as a minor celebrity in the college roping circuit so team that with his good looks and cowboy hat, it's only a matter of time before opportunities come knocking on the door for him and in this novel, one certainly came knocking right on his very own doorstep. He's to be the star, the bachelor if you will, of a reality dating show. Like with any reality show, there's of course prize money. Naturally as to the good character in Hunter, he accepts--albeit with reservations--so he can use the money for purely honourable purposes. However, it isn't only the money that catches his eye.
Cue the host of Swipe Right and the former Ms. Montana, Kipton Howse.
Kipton as previously mentioned, is the former Ms. Montana. Though unlike others who compete in such things for the glitz, glamour and glitter, Lipton is more like Hunter and is down to earth as to her reason for competing in that and accepting the host position for Swipe Right. Agreeing to the two months the show requires of both her, Hunter and the contestants, Kipton keeps her boots on the ground to get the money for her private to her reason. That reason, you'll soon discover. One of the only contingencies she didn't back on accounting for, is how much she would fall head over boots for the Shaw ranch where the show is being filmed at. Just as much as she finds herself falling for one of the men who lives and works on the ranch. Take a guess as to who he may be.
As time and filming for the show goes on, both parties find it harder and harder to keep things above board and as per their contracts. Sparks fly and the smouldering embers of desire grow into forbidden flames. But will those flames get put out by the dozens of ladies in which Hunter is meant to interact with, date, kiss and dodge as they are all vying for his attention?
When a major shake-up in the show looms on the horizon, it puts to the test the off-screen chemistry that has since bubbled over between the host and Hunter the bachelor. The tests, though, don't end there. Though their attraction is no longer a secret, their final test--or rather, conTESTant--may not be ready to throw in the towel or her chances at being chosen as the final episodes draw closer and closer, which may be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back.
Drama is all part of reality dating, faked or not, but how much drama is too much drama?
Kelly puts her own unique spin on a familiar and long-standing part of tv viewing culture. Though it is not something I am a fan of or watch in the real world, I wanted to see where she would take both the show and the storyline to see if this would be something I would watch, should it be real. Though I wasn't convinced (not though any fault of Kelly's) to watch this kind of thing, this is something I would most definitely read about and open my mind more to in the bookish world. I liked how Kelly set it in a place where it was in the control more of the people who owned it, rather than it being a set dedicated for the show only. It brought the 'real' into reality in an otherwise controlled setting.
What I happened to like most about this book aside from Hunter, the storyline and the sexual tension & drama, was the familiarity and feeling of coming home it brought. Though this story is very much focused on Hunter and Kipton, it didn't exclude the rest of the family or the characters we fell in love with int the first place. Having journeyed along with this family--and others--for so long, makes me feel as a reader like I'm part of the family myself and seeing the others dotted in scenes here and there felt like a big warm hug.
I truly hope Kelly realises that her dedication and efforts put into each book, this one included, shines through the page and is being received by all of us who know her, love her, and love the characters with our whole hearts. At times I wish the Shaws--and others--were real, because these would be some fantastic people to know, love and appreciate in the real world.
Brave Enough is a must-read for the summer and for lovers of Kelly Elliott, happily ever afters, tantalising tension and everything along the way.
Five stars.

At times I wish the Shaws--and others--were real, because these would be some fantastic people to know, love and appreciate in the real world.
Brave Enough is a must-read for the summer and for lovers of Kelly Elliott, happily ever afters, tantalising tension and everything along the way.
Five stars.

Recensione per il blog PECCATRICI LIBROSE
Bentrovate mie adorate Peccatrici,
oggi vi porto in un ranch ma non per farvi lavorare in mezzo al fieno e ai cavalli, no, questa volta vi faccio partecipi di uno spettacolo davvero interessante: un nuovo reality!
Kelly Elliot con "BRAVE ENOUGH" ci porta a conoscere 20 donne e un cowboy da conquistare a suon di appuntamenti.
Hunter Shaw non è il classico donnaiolo, nonostante sia bello, aitante e abbia quel fascino selvaggio che tanto piace. Decide di partecipare a questo reality solo per una questione economica e non per trovare l'amore della sua vita di cui non è in cerca, i soldi guadagnati possono aiutare l'associazione no profit di suo padre.
A presentare il programma sarà Kipton, ex miss Montana, che però non ama i riflettori, sembrerebbe un paradosso perché partecipare ad un concorso di bellezza implica l'esporsi, ma quando lo si fa per mero interesse economico e solo per potersi permettere i costi universitari, le prospettive cambiano ed è il futuro e l'amore per la propria famiglia che si visualizzano dinnanzi a lei, non il successo o la fama o il mondo dello spettacolo. Ed è proprio per la stessa ragione economica che accetta la conduzione.
Il ranch di famiglia di Hunter, scelto come location per la messa in onda, si riempie di telecamere e di addetti più o meno invadenti.
20 donne agguerrite a prendere al lazo il cuore di questo cowboy, privacy inesistente, una famiglia unita che cerca di preservare la sua normalità, una conduttrice che con la sua semplicità ha già conquistato tutti e il successo del programma è assicurato.
Peccato che, tutte queste donne bellissime, da Hunter vogliano solo il loro quarto d'ora di notorietà e che lui non riesca proprio a lasciarsi andare, soprattutto da quando ha capito che l'unica a vederlo davvero per quello che è, sia proprio Kipton che purtroppo con quegli appuntamenti non può avere niente a che fare, hanno entrambi un contratto da rispettare.
Ma è pur sempre un reality e chi sta dietro alla regia ha il solo interesse di alzare l'audience e se per farlo occorre un po' di dramma...che dramma sia!
Capovolte le regole e sfruttati i sentimenti altrui, il pubblico da casa andrà in visibilio ed è questo l'unico scopo di questo reality, ma a che prezzo?
Non vi resta che immergervi in questa storia per scoprirlo 😉
Che dire se non che sono stata conquistata dalla famiglia Shaw. Questo è il terzo capitolo della serie e, a onor del vero, io i precedenti non li ho letti ma non ne ho risentito minimamente, anzi mi ha solo incuriosito per andare a leggerli.
A fare da sfondo a questa storia non è il ranch, o le telecamere o le innumerevoli donne che si susseguono, no, il vero fulcro è questa famiglia numerosa e unita che fa di tutto per dare sostegno e protezione a chi ne fa parte. Persone che riconoscono la genuinità quando se la ritrovano davanti, come nel caso di Kipton, e che allargano le braccia per accogliere, persone che agiscono per il bene comune e che se c'è un segreto da salvaguardare lo fanno a occhi chiusi. Con una famiglia così, Hunter non poteva che essere quello che è: un ragazzo con i piedi per terra che cerca stabilità e progetta consapevolmente il suo futuro, che quando ama lo fa con tutto sé stesso ed è pronto a donarsi per intero, rispettoso dei sentimenti altrui ma anche pronto a difendere la sua essenza.
Kipton è la sua versione al femminile: pronta a sacrificarsi per la sua famiglia e per chi le ha dato tanto nella sua giovane vita, una donna che non è intenzionata a sfruttare la sua bellezza per raggiungere i suoi scopi ma che è pronta a impegnarsi per costruire il suo futuro senza usare scorciatoie, una ragazza che sogna una sua famiglia numerosa e che quando viene accolta così facilmente dagli Shaw ne rimane commossa ed estasiata.
Una storia che mette in contrapposizione i buoni sentimenti e la vita semplice fatta di sani principi con l'esistenza legata all'apparenza e all'arrivismo senza scrupoli.
Una lettura che per me è stata molto piacevole e che sono sicura saprà catturare anche il vostro interesse.
Ma ora sono pronta a lasciare questo ranch così accogliente per correre verso una nuova avventura a caccia di emozioni.
Alla prossima lettura 😘

Questo terzo libro della serie Love in Montana di Kelly Elliott è una lettura coinvolgente, romantica e sorprendentemente attuale, capace di conquistare fin dalle prime pagine. L'autrice riesce ancora una volta a costruire una storia d'amore intensa e credibile, mostrando come i sentimenti possano nascere nei modi più inaspettati e crescere persino sotto i riflettori di un reality show.
Hunter Shaw è il classico cowboy affascinante e sicuro di sé, ma dietro l’immagine della star del team roping universitario si nasconde un uomo generoso e profondamente legato alla sua famiglia.
Kipton Howse, invece, arriva nello Shaw Ranch con l’intenzione di risolvere i propri problemi e andarsene il prima possibile, ma ben presto si ritrova coinvolto in qualcosa di molto più grande. La chimica tra Hunter e Kipton è immediata e irresistibile, e assistere all’evoluzione del loro rapporto è il vero punto di forza del romanzo.
L’ambientazione nel mondo di un reality di incontri aggiunge ritmo, tensione e momenti divertenti, ma la storia non si limita all’intrattenimento. Le difficoltà che i protagonisti affrontano risultano autentiche e rispecchiano molte delle sfide del mondo contemporaneo, rendendo il loro percorso ancora più emozionante.
Vedere Hunter e Kipton affrontare ostacoli, dubbi e pressioni esterne senza perdere di vista ciò che provano l’uno per l’altro è estremamente appagante. Il loro amore cresce pagina dopo pagina in modo naturale e sincero, regalando momenti di dolcezza, vulnerabilità e speranza.
Un altro elemento che rende il libro speciale è il forte senso di famiglia. I momenti tra padre e figlio sono pieni di affetto e saggezza, e mostrano quanto Hunter ammiri gli uomini che lo hanno cresciuto.
Queste scene aggiungono profondità alla narrazione e ricordano che l’amore non si trova solo nelle relazioni romantiche, ma anche nei legami familiari che ci sostengono lungo il cammino.
Gli easter egg disseminati lungo la storia sono una meravigliosa sorpresa per i lettori della serie e scaldano il cuore con un pizzico di nostalgia.
Il finale è tutto ciò che si può desiderare da una storia d’amore: intenso, commovente e profondamente meritato.
Dopo aver affrontato ostacoli, aspettative e paure, Hunter e Kipton trovano finalmente il coraggio di scegliere sé stessi e ciò che li rende felici. È impossibile non fare il tifo per loro e non emozionarsi vedendo il loro amore trionfare contro ogni previsione.
Ma ciò che rende questo libro davvero speciale è il cuore che pulsa in ogni pagina: l’importanza della famiglia, il valore dell’accettazione e la forza di essere autentici anche quando il mondo sembra chiederti di essere qualcun altro. Ritrovare la famiglia Shaw, con i suoi legami indissolubili e i suoi momenti di tenerezza, è stato come tornare a casa.
Ho chiuso questo libro con un sorriso sulle labbra e quella piacevole sensazione di vuoto che solo le storie più belle riescono a lasciare. Hunter e Kipton sono una coppia che resta nel cuore, e la loro storia è una di quelle che ricordano perché amiamo leggere romance: ci fanno sognare, sperare e credere che l’amore possa davvero arrivare quando meno ce lo aspettiamo.
Un romanzo emozionante, dolce e indimenticabile, che consiglio senza esitazione a tutti gli amanti delle romance contemporanee. Una storia che parla d’amore, famiglia, coraggio e seconde possibilità, destinata a rimanere nel cuore dei lettori molto tempo dopo l’ultima pagina. E ora, come sempre accade con i libri migliori, l’attesa per la prossima storia è già iniziata.

He is a roping cowboy in his Senior year of college when he gets asked to be featured in a reality dating show. She is a former beauty queen who has been asked to host that dating show. Sparks fly, but not between the young bachelor and his 20 dates.
Hunter Shaw, at age 21, has never seen himself falling in love or settling down. His talent for roping would have been a fine career for him but lately he has felt a need to be at home. In the Fall of his Senior year of college, a network comes to him asking him to be on a reality dating show. Hunter is reluctant to participate until he sees a photo of who will be hosting the show.
Kipton Howse was Miss Montana that came in third place for Miss America. Her motivation to participate was driven by the need to get her family out of debt. So when she is approached by a network to ask her to host a dating show she easily accepts the impressive paycheck. With just a few more semesters left in her college career this opportunity will really help her parents. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with the Shaw family on her first visit before the show starts.
Hunter can't help but be drawn to Kipton. His desperate attempt at connection with her has him putting himself in the friend zone with her. He is dreading working on this show and needs to have at least one person on his team. As the show begins Hunter realizes he may have made a huge mistake.
Kipton tries her best to hide her growing feelings for Hunter. Seeing him date all the contestants has her wondering if she can be an actress or not. But when she and Hunter realize they are not only being manipulated but also fighting their mutual attraction, this human experiment suddenly gets very interesting.
Dual POV, forbidden romance, friends to lovers, love at first sight, OW dating, open door love scenes.
!¡!¡!¡SPOILERS!¡!¡!¡
I try not to give too much of the story away when I write my reviews. That way people can make their own personal informed decisions but I have some things I need to VENT!
Yes, Hunter is 21 years old but, thankfully, he is mature and doesn't read like a foolish new adult. Kipton is the same way, and likeable even though she makes a huge mistake when she really needed to be mature.
Ok here comes my issues: -WE NEVER FIND OUT THE ENDING of the reality show?! Maybe I accidentally missed it. Did I miss it?
Another detail: we never figure out if Kipton's parents win their lawsuit? Am I the problem? Am I the drama? Am I the only one who likes all my details to tie up like a pretty little bow?!?
Also: I usually don't have an issue with insta-love (a very very very common theme in this Shaw family series) but insta-engagement for two college kids, that have never seriously dated before, that barely know each other, plan on having a long distance relationship, and have no solid plans for the future careers???
My last issue: I didn't like reading the live on page dating scenes with Hunter with Other Women. Clearly Hunter wanted only Kipton from the beginning, but reading her heart hurting in jealousy wasn't fun.
Also, can we please take "virginity" out of the plot device ideas for contemporary romance? Life is just better as a reader without this social construct. Despite it all: Four stars. The slow burn and delayed gratification was great. These two had great chemistry that was fun to read. Abrupt but sweet HEA. I felt like I missed something.

BookLover, oggi torno da voi per parlarvi di Brave Enough, terzo volume della serie Love in Montana di Kelly Elliott.
Se avete letto le mie recensioni dei primi due libri sapete già quanto io ami questa serie e quanto la famiglia Shaw sia riuscita a conquistarmi. Per questo tornare al loro ranch è stato un po’ come ritrovare dei vecchi amici.
Questa volta la storia è quella di Hunter e Kipton e vi confesso che mi hanno fatta innamorare fin dalle prime pagine.
Hunter è il classico cowboy che potrebbe colpire per il suo fascino, ma quello che ho amato davvero è il suo cuore. È premuroso, leale, sempre pronto a mettere al primo posto le persone che ama e pagina dopo pagina non si può fare a meno di tifare per lui.
Kipton, invece, mi è entrata subito nel cuore. Dietro l’immagine dell’ex Miss Montana c’è una ragazza che sta facendo tutto il possibile per aiutare la propria famiglia e costruirsi un futuro. Arriva allo Shaw Ranch per lavoro, convinta di restarci solo il tempo necessario, senza immaginare che quel luogo e quelle persone finiranno per diventare molto più importanti di quanto avesse previsto.
La particolarità della storia è sicuramente il reality che fa da sfondo alla vicenda. Hunter dovrebbe conoscere e frequentare venti ragazze davanti alle telecamere, mentre tra lui e Kipton nasce qualcosa che nessuno dei due aveva programmato. Una situazione che crea tensione, ostacoli e qualche momento in cui avrei voluto entrare nel libro per mettere tutti in riga.
Quello che mi è piaciuto di più è stato vedere crescere il loro rapporto in modo naturale. Non è solo attrazione, ma fiducia, complicità e sostegno reciproco. Sono quei legami che nascono piano piano e che proprio per questo riescono ad arrivare dritti al cuore.
Come nei libri precedenti, però, il vero punto di forza resta la famiglia Shaw. Ogni scena con loro mi ha regalato un sorriso. L’affetto che li unisce, il modo in cui accolgono Kipton senza esitazioni e quella sensazione costante di casa sono aspetti che ho adorato dall’inizio alla fine.
L’autrice riesce ancora una volta a raccontare una storia romantica e coinvolgente, ma anche a parlare di famiglia, appartenenza e del coraggio di seguire ciò che ci rende davvero felici.
Ho chiuso l’ultima pagina con il sorriso, felice per Hunter e Kipton ma anche un po’ malinconica, perché salutare gli Shaw non è mai facile.
Se amate i cowboy romance, le grandi famiglie che sanno scaldare il cuore e le storie d’amore che fanno emozionare, Brave Enough è una lettura che vi consiglio assolutamente.

RECENSIONE PER BLOG LETTURE SALE E PEPE
20 ragazze per un reality, ma lui sogna l’unica fuori concorso…
Anche se questo è il terzo capitolo della serie Love in Montana, e io non ho letto i primi due, non ho avuto la minima difficoltà a entrare in sintonia con le dinamiche della famiglia Shaw.
Ho preso questo romanzo quasi a scatola chiusa: mi è bastato vedere che c’erano di mezzo dei cowboy per catturare la mia attenzione. Purtroppo, però, avevo decisamente sottovalutato la componente reality. Lo ammetto, è un mio limite: detesto il 99% di questo tipo di intrattenimento per via delle falsità e delle macchinazioni che ci stanno dietro, quindi anche i meccanismi messi in atto in questa storia mi hanno urtato, e non poco.
Il protagonista è Hunter Shaw, studente universitario, campione di Team Roping e bello da impazzire. Viene ingaggiato per un reality show di una nuova emittente TV, una sorta di esperimento sociale a tema appuntamenti che, ovviamente, deraglierà ben presto dai binari. Lui non è certo il classico sciupafemmine, ma accetta l’invasione delle telecamere nel ranch di famiglia sia per il compenso, che aiuterebbe la fondazione di beneficenza di famiglia, che per poter conoscere la bella conduttrice.
Lei è Kipton Howse, ex Miss Montana, tanto bella quanto spigliata e verrà scelta come conduttrice. Anche la ragazza si lancia per soldi nel programma, con l’obiettivo di aiutare i genitori. Durante le riprese alloggerà proprio nella casa padronale degli Shaw, trovando in loro un vero porto sicuro. L’accoglienza di questa famiglia è una garanzia, oltre a una predisposizione genetica che li ha fatti tutti belli come il peccato, sono uniti da un affetto sincero, e Kipton si ritroverà “adottata” in men che non si dica.
L’intesa tra lei e Hunter è palpabile fin dalle prime riunioni su Zoom, e di persona l’attrazione diventa così evidente che è impossibile non notarla. C’è solo un piccolo problema: lui ha ben venti ragazze da frequentare per arrivare alla finale con la speranza (da contratto) di trovare l’anima gemella. Ma se ha occhi solo per la presentatrice, come andrà a finire?
Se la parte legata alle interazioni tra i due protagonisti è stata piacevole e godibile, l’atmosfera della trasmissione mi ha fatto letteralmente venire i nervi. Ho odiato ognuna di quelle corteggiatrici pronte a tutto pur di attirare le attenzioni del bel cowboy, tra falsità e arrivismo spicciolo. I protagonisti stessi si renderanno conto di come la produzione stravolga i piani originari solo per soddisfare la brama del pubblico, finendo in un tritacarne mediatico fatto di sondaggi e teatrini ben orchestrati. Probabilmente è stata una scelta deliberata dell’autrice per farci empatizzare con loro e sentirci soffocati dalla situazione… e ci è riuscita fin troppo bene.
In conclusione, se amate i programmi di incontri, adorerete sicuramente ogni singola dinamica di questo libro. Io, invece, l’ho chiuso con un attacco di gastrite per il nervoso! Carino, comunque, ma decisamente non per tutti i palati.

"Brave Enough" di Kelly Elliott è esattamente quel tipo di romance dolce, coccoloso e rassicurante che potrebbe benissimo essere una commedia romantica anni '90 (in senso assolutamente buono!). Se amate le storie che vi lasciano con gli occhi a cuoricino, siete nel posto giusto.
Lo spunto di partenza è super accattivante: un reality show in cui il minore dei fratelli Shaw, Hunter, stella del roping universitario, deve scegliere la sua donna ideale tra 20 agguerritissime concorrenti. Quello che nessuno aveva previsto, però, è l’ingresso in scena della presentatrice dello show, Kipton, ex Miss Montana. Tra lei e Hunter nasce un’intesa immediata che scombina totalmente tutti gli equilibri e le regole del programma.
Rispetto ai capitoli precedenti della saga, qui l'età dei protagonisti si abbassa un pochino: abbiamo due ventenni bellissimi, genuini e un pizzico ingenui, il che è assolutamente coerente con il loro background e la loro esperienza. Di conseguenza, anche lo stile dell'autrice si adatta, regalandoci una storia fresca, leggera e divertente, specialmente durante alcuni appuntamenti assurdi del reality.
In pratica entriamo in un "gioco nel gioco". Hunter e Kipton provano subito qualcosa l'uno per l'altra, partono come amici e costruiscono un rapporto che si evolve in modo semplice e delizioso.
L’intreccio tra le rigide regole dello show e la loro neonata relazione clandestina è la base di una trama lineare ma super efficace. Ovviamente, la famiglia Shaw ha un ruolo fondamentale: è impossibile non amare il senso di comunità di questa serie, e qui non solo ritroviamo tutti i personaggi già noti, ma viene anche introdotta la prossima storia.
Se devo essere del tutto onesta, a livello di trama ho preferito i primi due libri della serie, ma ho apprezzato anche questo.
È una storia romantica e positiva, senza colpi di scena rocamboleschi o spicy estremo. Se cercate drammi siete fuori strada, ma se amate le grandi famiglie, i legami veri e la dolcezza pura, correte a leggerlo!

Hunter and Kipton were both trying to prove themselves in a way. She was trying to make a name for herself as a journalist/host and he was trying to help his dad’s charity. They didn’t think that meeting each other would change their lives forever. Whether they survive the reality dating show is anyone’s guess, but their connection is strong, if they can over look some things and people. I enjoyed the fact that everyone around them could see the writing on the wall, but they were fighting it.
Hunter is your typical bachelor and he loves the ranch. He never thinks he’ll get married and enjoys the single life. When he meets Kipton the first time, something sparks between them, but he tries to stay away because he just agreed to date multiple women for a tv show, and she isn’t a contestant, she is the host. Even though he tries and he knows he needs to stay away, he can’t make himself. But, what will happen if the show finds out about their hanging out.
Kipton is hired to be the host, but she is also supposed to write a story about Hunter’s dad. I appreciated that she was up front about the story. The connection she felt was instant and she also tried to stay away from him. I loved the element of surprise when it came to the reactions they would have when he was faced with the dates with the contestants. There were some people who were working against them and others working with them.
I loved seeing his family again and the relationship between them. I also fell in love with Hunter. Once he was in he was all in and wouldn’t let anything stop him from being with Kipton. When the inevitable wrench gets thrown into their relationship I was heartbroken. The culmination of the tv show, a misunderstanding and their love all play a huge part in this book.
I have loved this series and this was a perfect addition. Thank you Ms. Elliott for the ARC. This is my honest, voluntary review.

I had the pleasure of diving into 'BRAVE ENOUGH,' the third installment in Kelly Elliott's LOVE IN MONTANA series, a delightful spin-off from the 'MEET ME IN MONTANA' series. What a heartwarming story it turned out to be!
The narrative is centered around Hunter Shaw, a 22-year-old college student and roper/rancher, and Kipton Howse. The beauty of this book is that you can pick it up as a stand-alone, as I did, without any difficulty.
The story unfolds through the perspectives of both Hunter and Kipton, offering us a unique insight into their thoughts and feelings. Their relationship, filled with forbidden allure, is a captivating slow burn that starts with a spark the moment they cross paths. Hunter, a rodeo sensation, finds himself entangled in a 'Bacheloresque' reality show called 'Swipe Right.' He hopes to use the earnings to support his father's charity, but the world of reality TV is far from real.
Meanwhile, Kipton Howse, a former Miss Montana, takes on the role of the show's host. Little do they know that their worlds are about to collide, setting off sparks that can't be ignored. As the show and its contestants become increasingly chaotic, a new and familiar face is introduced into the mix.
The story beautifully captures the essence of the tight-knit Shaw family, showcasing their dynamics, love, and unwavering support for Hunter and Kipton. It's clear to everyone, including the production team, that there's an undeniable connection between the two.
Hunter and Kipton's relationship transitions from mere acquaintances to friends and eventually to lovers. However, they're bound by contracts and the rules of the show. With Hunter's family well aware of their mutual attraction, a secret plan is set in motion to bring them closer. The intimate scenes are tastefully written, adding depth to their romance without resorting to explicit language.
'BRAVE ENOUGH' is not just a love story; it's a tale of family, friendship, acceptance, and unwavering support. The character-driven narrative is both amusing and authentic, featuring characters who are sassy, sexy, and sensitive. The romance is a perfect blend of spice and emotion.
In conclusion, 'BRAVE ENOUGH' is a delightful read that will warm your heart and keep you hooked from start to finish."

Okay there is just something in the water in Montana because man Hunter Shaw is like a dream come true. I loved that Kelly Elliott shows us the younger son of Brock Shaw and boy does Blayze have serious competition. Here is a man who is all cowboy yet is at crossroads right now. Bullriding is in his genes yet Hunter is unsure what he really wants right now. Going on the show, which is a brilliant concept, was supposed to help his family but then he meets Kipton and now this is where it gets interesting. Seeing him fall hard for Kipton was awesome yet there is still a part of him that wants to do the right thing but still want her. Now there is chemistry between them and to some people may seem predictable but Kelly Elliott doesn't just do easy with them and this is where truly her talent will get you. There's a connection they have never felt before and it is this connection that makes them wonder what will happen once the show is done. I mean Hunter has his way of really getting under your skin straight to the heart. This is where it gets hard for Kipton because Hunter is not just any cowboy to just have a fling and leave. He is definitely a Shaw and love that when he does find THE ONE he goes all in and dang the consequences just made me swoon and rooted for him.All in all this has to be favorite of mine and that is hard considering I had a soft heart for Blayze and bam Hunter just sweeps you off your feet, loved it. There is definitely something about the Shaw family you don't want to miss and once again Kelly Elliott will blow your mind, loved it.

“You don’t need a reason to do something crazy.”
“You just need to be brave enough to do it.”
This is the third book in the Love in Montana series and once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I’m a sucker from small town romance.
Hunter Shaw is Blayze’s younger brother and a champion team roper, who also happens to be the newest bachelor on a new reality show called “Swipe Right”. Which he was on the fence about the show until he saw who the host was going to be and with one look he was all in. Kipton is the former Miss Montana and when she was asked to host she couldn’t say no especially since she needs the money to help with her family’s debt. And when they meet for the first time there’s an instant attraction between them that could put have come at a worst possible time, especially since he about to be dating twenty other girl during the show she’s hosting. But the more time they spend together the more the lines between them start to blur and their feeling start to come out. Will they be able to get through this show or will the feeling become to hard to deny?
They had great chemistry and tension from the beginning and I enjoyed how their friendship develops first as a way to kept each other grounded during the show. But as they friendship grew, so did their feelings for each other which everyone saw because they didn’t do a good job at hiding it. But once they gave into their feelings they couldn’t stay away from each other. I enjoyed all the side characters especially Rose. Overall, this book was great and the characters were great and I loved the ending. I can’t wait to read Rose’s book.
I would recommend if you like:

Venturing into the Wild World of Dating and possibly Love…
Hunter’s life took an unexpected turn when he reluctantly agreed to participate in a social experiment. Little did he know that this experiment would become a wild roller-coaster ride he never anticipated. Hunter, not your stereotypical ladies’ man, had always been more focused on his future goals of team roping along with helping run the family Ranch.
Kipton Howse, the former Miss Montana, had a heart as big as the open Montana sky. After discovering that the man her parents had trusted with their lives and finances had swindled them and disappeared, she was determined to make things right.
These two individuals were willing to go to great lengths for the ones they cherished. So, when a golden opportunity came knocking, Hunter and Kipton grabbed it with both hands, diving headfirst into a world they had never imagined.
But, let’s talk about the supporting characters; they added a delightful twist to the story. Travis and Jack, in particular, were a riot, although they occasionally made me want to smack their heads together and ask, “What’s going on in there, boys?” With cousins aplenty, I can’t help but hope that their stories are waiting in the wings.
Kelly Elliott has once again worked her magic with Brave Enough, surpassing even the previous books in the Love in Montana Series. It’s a delight to reunite with familiar faces from earlier books and welcome some new additions to the cast. As we eagerly await the next installment, Rose’s story, in the Love in Montana Series, I can’t help but anticipate more heartwarming and entertaining adventures. Kelly Elliott, you’ve got us hooked!
