⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️.5 / 5
K.M. did it again…. I couldn’t put this down once I started it. This one gave me vibes of White Christmas with My Enemy & Winter Wonderland.
You get the humor, storyline and just enough spice with the story.
This one follows Miles and Kelly. Miles is a single father to Emma. But he hasn’t really dated since his last situation. He’s focused on Emma. Emma’s got him wrapped around her finger. Kelly decides to go to Wintervale and leave her bookstore duties to her eager sister who wants the position. Kelly is battling with what she truly wants to do be a wedding planner vs doing what she does. Can she leave Colorado? Her family is there. Wintervale with her best friend Ava is exactly the distraction she needs.
I mean nothing say hello nice to meet you like throwing your groceries on someone’s car window…. It’s flu season and Miles finds himself needing help and needing a wedding planner cue Kelly. The chemistry is there from the beginning but Kelly isn’t in Wintervale to stay.
Let’s just say Wintervale provides a lot of answers for Kelly. This series has been so much fun! I’ve enjoyed every single one of the siblings stories and I am looking forward to the Colorado stories! The characters were introduced perfectly!

Miles and Kelly
KM does it again, but I wouldn’t expect anything else. From the very beginning, I was invested. Throwing groceries, to falling in love with sweet little Emma, Kelly was meant to be in Montana!
“Watching” the last Blake brother fall in love was definitely bitter sweet. Kelly and Miles were absolutely perfect!

The sweetest ending for these 4 seasons/brothers!
Overall: 4
Spice: 2
Plot: 3.5
I love these little novellas by Ms. Ryan. They're short, fast, a little spicy, mostly sweet.
As with any novella, the plot runs fast, so a lot is jam-packed into the pages. Sometimes, (as with all novellas) it can seem a little frantic or overly terse, whether plot or dialogue, but Ms. Ryan always balances the shorter page count so well with that tough line between "too little" and "not enough".
Can't wait for future little snacks like this one!
Thank you to the author, KM Ryan, for the opportunity to read and review this fun, tasty short story!
All opinions are my own.

Beta read this book, it’s the fourth book in the series. It was so good. Miles and Kelly are perfect for each other. The way I laughed out loud and related to Kelly so many times! I loved how Emma trusted Kelly as so as she met her too. I cried the last few chapters because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to this family.
September 28, 2025
This was such a cozy and wonderful read! This was such a a well written novella and I loved every minute of reading it. This was my first book from K.M Ryan and I wish I had found sooner and read the series! I'll definitely be catching up and be reading any books from this author from now on.
Miles and Kelly were such a dream together. I liked the chemistry, the spice between them and the overall sweetness of how it all happened. They gave me soulmate vibes for sure! Miles is this sweetheart of a single dad, chef and part owner to his parents hotel. Kelly also helps run her family bookstore business as an event coordinator but wants more so she decides to take a vacation. Their meet-cute was so funny and cute. I like how they worked Kelly into doing what she loved there by helping out and in doing so her and Miles got so close together. Their HEA was chef kiss.
Such a perfect fall book to cozy up on the couch to. This one will have you smiling throughout and not wanting you to put it down until you've read it all. Highly recommend this one!

This is by far my favorite book in the series! I have been patiently waiting for Miles’s story and it was as good as I cld have hoped for!
I related so much to him for being a single dad and always putting his daughter first and foremost. He didn’t date much if at all, because he wldnt bring just anyone in for Emma’s sake. He prided himself on working and taking care of her and that’s so commendable.
The family dynamic in this series is absolutely beautiful! I love the relationship with all the siblings and the parents! Some people can only dream of having.
I just love Kelly and I absolutely love the way KM brought them together! It was truly a match made in heaven!

This book is the fourth one in this series written by this author and it was a pretty good one. This focuses on the final brother Miles, he finally gets his turn at love and his 5 year old daughter gets a mom, Kelly. So Miles is the cook for his family's resort and Kelly is there visiting. She needed a break from her small town home with her best friend. The flu starts taking out the employees and Kelly steps up to help out only to realize she loves the work. It has a bit of humor and a splash of spice.

This book had me so hooked that I was up HOURS past my bedtime and on work nights!
I'm sad to know this is the last book of the series, I would LOVE to read a 2nd epilogue book one day checking back in on all these amazing characters I fell in love with.
If you like a good Hallmark Rom-Com would love this book and series!
Honestly, Hallmark is having a missed opportunity if they dont reach out to K.M. Ryan to turn these books into a script.

Read this as an arc reader for K.M.
This is the fourth book in the series, it follows the final brother, Miles, as he finally finds love and a mother for his 5-year-old daughter in Kelly. She comes to the family resort for a break, but when the flu takes out the staff, she steps in to help and ends up loving it. It’s a sweet story with humor and just a touch of spice. Highly recommend, K.M. Ryan did it again, she’s an amazing author

Miles finally gets his book and what a book it is! Kelly visits Wintervale on vacation and steps into the role of event coordinator when Karen falls ill with the flu. This leads to her and Miles working closely together for the benefit of this wedding. And the sparks were sparking! I’m so happy the Miles, and by extension Emma, finally get their HEA.

This is the first book I've read by K.M. Ryan and it didn't disappoint. Very well written. Both funny and serious. Small town with a happy ever after.

We FINALLY get Miles’ book and it was as perfect as I was hoping for! Kelly was a perfect match for him and little Emma, with plenty of giggles and swoons along the way!

This Montana series has been one of my favorites and I'm sad it's almost complete. This whole series is a must read. You won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book, I could not put it down. The story is amazing I felt like I was really there . The character are super cute .. Would highly recommend

This was the perfect start to my fall reads while I was sick in bed. K.M. Ryan managed to deliver all the feels within a shorter book, without losing any of the details that keep you hooked.
The small-town setting made me want to move there myself, and the family dynamic was written beautifully. The spice was just the right amount—enough to add some heat without being overwhelming while I wasn’t feeling my best.
I hate to admit this was my first K.M. Ryan book, but it certainly won’t be my last. Great book, girlfriend!

She wanted a break. He needed help. Neither expected love.
Kelly isn’t running away. She just needs a pause. Swapping her small-town routine for a quiet winter getaway in scenic Wintervale, she expects cozy days and maybe a decent cup of coffee. But when a surprise grocery-bag incident throws her into the path of Miles, a single dad and local chef juggling more than he can carry, her reset starts to look a lot less predictable.
Miles doesn’t invite change easily. Between raising his daughter Emma and keeping the family resort afloat through a staff crisis, he’s running on fumes. The last thing he expects is for a guest to step in and help. But Kelly’s not just capable. She fits into the chaos, into his day, and into places he didn’t realize were still empty.
What starts as a temporary favor turns into something neither of them dares name. Shared work becomes shared moments. Distance softens. The lines blur. Kelly starts to question what she’s really meant to return to while Miles wrestles with the risk of hoping for more. Some connections aren’t planned. That doesn’t make them any less real.
Kelly’s journey is about more than a vacation. It’s about stepping out of the familiar long enough to see herself clearly. Miles begins with structure and silence, but Kelly brings light, unpredictability, and a chance to want again. Together, they grow from strangers to something solid, steady, and worth holding onto.
A steamy, instalove, single dad, small town romance filled with warmth, wit, and emotional depth. It explores self-discovery, love, family, second chances, identity, belonging, vulnerability, and found family. It’s about finding love where you least expect it, starting over when life feels uncertain, and coming home to the people who make you feel seen.
The Elevator Pitch: A woman chasing a fresh start collides with a single dad barely keeping it together, and sparks fly where neither expected them. In a snow-covered town full of charm and chaos, their connection grows from unlikely allies to something deeper and impossible to ignore. It’s a slow burn with heart, heat, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.

A FALL SHE WON'T FORGET is part of the multi-authored Seasons in Montana - Fall series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, forced-proximity, curvy girl gets her hunk romance. Kelly is a sassy, curvy girl who works at her family’s bookstore but longs to be a wedding planner. She decides to go visit her bestie in Wintervale, Montana hoping to get some clarity. Miles is a hunky single dad to the adorable Emma and works at his family’s resort in Montana. When he needs help planning a wedding at the lodge, Kelly is happy to help. I have loved this entire series and this was no exception. Expect hot chemistry, some laughs, an adorable daughter, and a happy ending before it's over. I loved it.

And the final Blake son falls....
I love the Miles that we get to know in this book, in his brother's books he has been gruff and serious, but here we get to see his playful and fun side with Emma and his sweet and sexy 'falling in love' side with Kelly.
It is lovely to see Kelly spread her wings as she helps the family out and takes on her dream job for a weekend. Dreams really do come true, especially if they include a sexy chef and an adorable little girl.
Miles, Kelly and Emma make such a sweet family, this is a lovely final book for this author and the Wintervale Resort in this multi-season, multi-author series.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Miles story......I needed it and absolutely loved it. This wraps up these brothers and let me tell you....beautiful.
Kelly seems like the perfect fit that is needed for their little town, but she had a family all her own and can’t leave them. We'll, it also doesn't help she’s scared to take on a new adventure, even if she is perfect for it. So it’s no surprise when Miles asks her but she’s hesitant to turn it down. Until she has a surprise talk with her family.
Oh, these two throughout just had me cheering them on. I love this family, but this one...yeah, I think it took the cake. Adore! So, make sure to grab it.

Kelly is on vacation and Miles is trying to pick up the slack when his family/staff get sick. His daughter is precious and her relationship with Kelly is so cute. Miles is so responsible as a single father, but he deserves a chance to enjoy life too. Kelly gets a chance to test out her dream job while falling in love. Quick read. I do love this series and the family! It's always an entertaining read.

Once again, K.M. Ryan knocked it out of the park. I am obsessed with all of her books, but this one tugged at a few heart strings more than others. Lots of laughs, and quite a few tears were shed. So sad this series is over, but every story was worth reading. Grab a few tissues and take a couple hours to read this sweet novella.

I’ve read a couple of books by this author now - definitely recommend! I love the Seasons in Montana series. Miles and Kelly were great together - and Emma was a little cutie. I love small town romances and this one didn’t disappoint.

Miles finds his forever! What a sweet love story. Things are a mess at the resort and a visitor, Kelly, steps up to help. Sparks fly between Miles and her but will Kelly stay or go home. Emma was darling, the family banter was fun, a little bit of angst and a whole lot of love. Heartwarming romance read.
