Always His Girl

Fit Mountain Instaloves Vol. 2 #7

by Stella Banks

He always said his girl was the one who got away. Now she's back in Wyoming with his biggest surprise.

Blake
I never thought I would see her again.
The girl who stole my heart in one night in Vegas, then disappeared without a trace.
But now she's here. In my hometown.
With a baby girl who looks exactly like me.
I don't know why Julie kept our daughter a secret.
But as I hold the two of them in my arms, it doesn't matter.
I have a chance to create the family I always wanted.
And I’m not letting my girl get away this time.

Julie
I can see the shock on his face, the questions in his eyes.
I never meant to keep our daughter a secret.
But things were complicated, and I was scared.
Seeing Blake again stirs up all those old feelings, the love I tried so hard to bury.
And now he says that he wants to be a family, to give me the life I've always wanted.
I want to believe we can have a fresh start for our daughter's sake.
But my life is a mess and I'm barely keeping it together.
Can I find the courage to move past the pain to build a life with the man of my dreams?

Always His Girl is an angsty secret baby instalove with all the steam, all the feels and a guaranteed HEA. It can be read as a standalone in less than 90 minutes. Enjoy!

Always his Girl is Book 7 of the Fit Mountain Instaloves Vol. 2 series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, secret pregnancy, girl gets her billionaire, second-chance romance. Julie meets Blake on her 21st birthday in Vegas. The two had a connection and a very sexy encounter where she gave him her v-card only for her to be called away with an emergency. She rushes out. Blake has never stopped thinking about her since. Fast forward about 18 months, and Julie is a single curvy mom taking care of her adorable daughter, Maddie ( 6 months old) and her 15 year old sister Josie. Blake is a hunky billionaire. When he goes to get a security deposit back for his sister in law, he never expects Julie to be the landlord or that he's a dad. But he is over the moon with joy. Will Julie stay? Can Blake convince her she's not alone and he is all in on their family??? Yes, yes, he can. Their chemistry is so hot. He is completely drool-worthy in the way he loves and cares for Julie and their family. Julie was such a kind soul. She and Josie deserved to have family in their corner. I loved everything about this swoon-worthy, feel-good romance!!.

Julie (h21) takes a rare moment for herself to go to Las Vegas to celebrate her birthday with friends, but soon realizes that the club scene isn't for her. She captures the eye of Blake (H) and the two share an instant connection and as they get to know one another, things heat up quickly between the two. But a family emergency sends Julie rushing back to her younger sister Josie, leaving Blake devastated that the woman he'd been waiting for got away. Eighteen months later Blake unexpectedly encounters Julie and a baby girl, Maddie, who looks an awful lot like him. Determined to be part of Maddie's life, Blake invites Julie, Maddie, and Josie to stay with him for the weekend in hopes of convincing Julie that what they shared in Vegas was just the start of their future together. Loved the last triplet finding his love, Blake was so caring and supportive, and that proposal, so amazing. Hot and steamy instalove, age gap, mountain man romance, exploring unexpected love, second chances, commitment, family, and home.

Wow, talk about insta love! Julie (h) and Blake (H) meet and instantly are hooked on one another. An emergency happens and Julie leaves in a rush. I really enjoyed the story and characters. The way Blake was with the baby was very sweet and his family was very supportive. There were a few inconsistencies and I do wish there was an epilogue!

H- older?! No real mention of previous experience.

h- 21 years old, virgin

Condom used the 1st time

No OW/OM drama

Safe read.

Julie and Blake have one steamy bathroom moment until she gets an emergency call and leaves. Neither thought they would ever see each other again but neither had forgotten the other. It's been over a year and she has a special little surprise and they are reunited. This is a sweet and steamy second chance at love story with likable characters that had me cheering them on to get their happily ever after. Always His Girl is a great addition to the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Nicolle Cherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so glad Julie's book is finally out! I've been waiting since Willow's book. This was a short and sweet read. No unnecessary drama. Just rekindled love and a HEA.

"Drew: Time to eat. Stop defiling my future sister-in-law and get your asses downstairs. I bark out a laugh and shake my head as I type back a reply. Me: On our way. And she started it.".

This is a surprise baby novella with a bit of steam. Blake and Julie have such an emotional second encounter. Blake has been looking for Julie since their time together in Vegas. Once he finds her, he finds out about her secret and what happened to her during their year apart. Their story is quick and smutty. I liked their story.

It all started in Vegas, and it was night to remember but it ended before it started. Julie comes back and the encounter was emotional for her and Blake. Blake has been looking for Julie since their time together in Vegas. When he finds the truth about Julie's secret, he wants her back and their baby. It was a great story, and you are going to love it as much I did.

Always His Girl is a beautiful and sweet second chance romance with a lovely twist and gorgeous characters. Blake is the quintessential cinnamon roll alpha male who embraces his second chance without thought. Julie is such a kind, hardworking, loving soul. I love the relationship between Julie and her sister, and how Blake handles the entire situation. What a delightful tale!.

The last triplet has found his forever after. This short story was great.
One night in Vegas meeting a beautiful amazing woman, only to have to disappear.
But a year later, the fates would bring them back together.
These two were fated and meant to be together. To find the place where you truly belong.

[Brianna Bello · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one was completely different than the others. In the last book we see Blake pining over a girl he met in Vegas. This book is about that girl and what happened more than a year earlier with her and what happens now. This one definitely made me tear up a bit. It was the perfect ending to this series!

[Linda Elliott · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a short story but well written

You know you have nights that you just don't have a lot of time to read this story would fit into that type of situation. It's a short story it has heart It takes 30 minutes I guess to read it And you won't be disappointed cause it has a beginning middle and ending.

Very cute. Loved it

It was a quick and perfect instalove story. Although they were apart for over a year fate brought them back together and they were able to move on as a family. I just love this quick reads.

-Quick insta love
-Vigin FMC
-Secret baby

This book was a quick read, fun and easy.
The insta love between the characters was so cute.
I needed an easy book and this didn’t disappoint.
Who doesn’t love insta love and HEA? ❤️

[Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly, I loved this one. It didn't seem as instant because of the background of their relationship, which I thought was kinda funny (but really worked in the storyline).

And the fact that he had just bought a 6-bedroom house? Very easy way out, I think it would've been better if he was still lounging on his brothers' couch when everything went down.

[meeeee · Rating 5 out of 5]

His three girls. ❤️

Oh this book gave me all the feels!!! I absolutely loved this! I cannot even write a decent review because I’m too excited to move onto the next book!!

[Jackie · Rating 1 out of 5]

What, Huh?

What was that? Seven chapters? Seven very short chapters! I can’t rate this higher than one star. ⭐️ because it wasn’t long enough.

[Nancy Lovallo · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was shorter them I thought but, I loved it. I would love more of Blake and Julie and baby Maddie.

[Lesli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good quick read

This was a real quick read, just over 50 pages. This was quick moving with minimal angst and a cute ending. Now I'm eager to follow this series.

[Rebecca Pickett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book

Why Amazon insist on 20 word minimum for reviews I will never understand.I just want to say that I enjoyed this book

[CJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has given us a heartwarming older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Blake and Julie. The story keeps us turning the pages with instant connection, devastating news, the need to flee, a second chance, revelations and steam.
