Willow Branch Mountain #3
Take My Kiss
A forced proximity stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a cowboy who’s ready to settle down and the single mom who’s used to doing everything alone, but reluctantly takes his help when a threat looms…
I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet—and into his bed.
The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.
But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we’re forced into hiding.
Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.
And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us—but he does without hesitation.
It’s impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.
I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is—and it'd never work out.
Perfect for fans of:
✔️ Forced proximity
✔️ Protective heroes
✔️ Caretaking & Acts of Service
✔️ Lots of banter & angst
✔️ Spicy open-door romances
✔️ All the yearning, tension, & HEA you crave
Take My Kiss is book #3 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.

Colton and Amelia’s story is a heartwarming one and more than a little drama filled. After meeting at Wilder and Delilah's wedding and spending the night together, they didn't see each other again until Amelia gets herself a stalker and they moved her in with Colt to hide her and the kids away for her protection. Colt's interactions with these kids and the way they bond as a family is the soul of this story, her family drama keeps everything interesting and the pacing is perfect with the way the reveals roll out along the story arc.
If you've read these stories in order then you’ll enjoy seeing the family members get involved in the story as I did, like visiting with friends.
It was easy reading and very enjoyable.

The plot is a masterclass in storytelling that grips you from the very first page. It weaves a complex, fast-paced narrative filled with unexpected twists that keep you guessing until the absolute end. The tension builds organically, balancing high-stakes action with deep emotional moments.
Characters:
Colton Langston is the ultimate book boyfriend —he is fiercely protective, patient, and absolutely amazing with Amelia's children, Sam and Lily. He brings all the alpha protector vibes while maintaining a heart of pure gold. Amelia is an inspiring, fiercely independent single mother who is used to carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Watching her learn to lower her walls, accept help, and realize she doesn't have to face life's battles alone is deeply emotional and rewarding.
Favorite qoutes:
"I spent one night with her and spent every day after looking for her in every crowd. You don't have to carry the weight of the world alone anymore, Amelia. Let me hold it for you."
Final Thought:
This book is a flawless blend of single-mom romance, forced proximity, and protective hero tropes. It delivers a beautiful message about building a family, trust, and finding safety in the arms of the person you love. I could not put it down and highly recommend it to anyone who loves emotional, comforting, yet thrilling romance stories.

Thank you Brooke for an early copy of this one!
Ummm I think I have a new favorite Brooke book. I don’t know what it was about this one that just hooked me right from the start. I inhaled this one in under 24 hours.
Colt + Amelia were everything. I loooved how patient and doting Colt was from the start. He is a top tier book boyfriend. Every interaction he had with Sam and Lily turned me into the heart eye emoji. He deserves everything. I loved Amelia and how honest she was. The way they both just said what they meant and how they felt actually was great. They had amazing chemistry, and the spice was.. spicing. Brooke never misses with that.
I loved all the side characters and the somewhat unhinged plot and how it all came together at the end. I could NOT put this one down once I started.

3.75* (rounded up to 4)
It was fun returning to Willow Branch Mountain and the Langston family. Even though the reason for Amelia and her kids moving in with Colton was serious, this entry in the series felt more lightweight than the previous two. The fact that 90% of the book took place within the four walls of Colt's cabin made the story feel... small. How much plot could there be when everything was so contained? There was little interaction beyond the confines of the cabin setting.
That being said, Colt and Amelia were both likable characters. The kids were sweet and their connection with Colt definitely tugged on the heartstrings. Colt's and Amelia's relationship progressed at lightning speed, and while she had reservations, he was all in from the start. That made their relationship kind of appear out of nowhere with little build-up and that's the reason for the 3.75 rating.
The mild suspense plot line was interesting and included a twist I didn't see coming. Overall, this was a fun entry to the series and I'm looking forward to Bodie and Raven's story.

Take My Kiss is book 3 in the Willow Branch Mountain series, it can read entirely fine as a standalone, but for a deeper understanding of family dynamics reading in order definitely enhances the experience. I absolutely love returning to Willow Branch, this small town is a little treat. The people inside it even more. I always love revisiting all the characters from previous books and series as they make appearances. I was hooked right from the start, since the ending of the previous book I was waiting for Colton's story, I knew he would be swoony, but never this swoony. The man deserves an award! The added suspense Brooke sprinkled in this one was so good, it kept me hooked and intrigued, truly catching me off guard with the twists.
Colton is a dream. He is so perfect. The way he cared, cherished and worshipped Amelia was absolutely beautiful. He was patient, respectful of her boundaries and let her come to him when she was ready. He cared for her 2 children as if they were his own, that right there is a true man. All the acts of service he does made my heart melt. Amelia was such a fierce FMC, so strong, resilient and the best mom to her babies. The connection between Colton & Amelia was fire, they had so much chemistry, fun banter but also so much trust between each other. After that bonus epilogue I cannot wait for the next book!
Overall, this was another fantastic installment in this series. Colton, Amelia & the kids truly won my heart.
🎧 The narration by Aaron Shedlock & Meg Sylvan was so good. Loved them together, their voices just fit perfectly. They really played the characters so well, bringing out all the emotions and the flirty banter in their performances. They also played the kids very well which I always enjoy.

“You only said I couldn’t bail, nothin’ ‘bout pushin’ you out.”
“Wow…way to find a loophole.”
Brooke has done it again. These Willow Branch Mountain men are something special. The whole family is!
Supportive, protective, patient, and loving to no end!
Colt and Amelia are explosive from night one! I loved how we caught a glimpse of their night in book 2 but jump right in to seeing how it all unfolded. They make you believe in love at first sight. I devoured their story in less than 24 hours. I just couldn’t put it down. Colt Langston is a man obsessed, from just seeing her across the room… add in a one night stand - where she’s gone the next day, and he’s toast. Pierced, tattoos, successfully runs his family’s resort, and lives in a “tree house.” He’s perpetually single because he longs for commitment and connection. When he hears that Amelia and her 2 kids are in danger this man jumps into action is the absolute sweetest way. He’s a total goner for them all! He’s not the only one, even his dog is gone for their new house guests. Amelia, this sweet girl has not had it easy. Her life has unraveled from every direction and when she discovers someone is after her she’s forced back into the home, and arms, of the one man she’s been trying to forget.
The suspense/subplot in this one totally got me! Like whoa, I did not see that coming!! My jaw hit the floor in such a way I just stared off into space going “you’ve got to be kidding me!”
I swooned over Colt every time he was with them. He is complete book husband goals! Like greenest green flag! Everything about this book was precious and when their thread finally snaps, holy chemistry!
If you love:
✨ Single Mom in need of a safe space
✨ Forced Proximity
✨ Protective MMC
✨ Acts of Service
✨ Found Family
✨ Secret Hookups
✨ Suspense
This one is for you!
I’m so here for the Langston family and their cousins! I can’t wait for the rest of this series! Willow Branch Mountain is something special!!

❤️ Single Mom
❤️ Forced Proximity

❤️ One Night Stand
❤️ Caretaking Hero
❤️ Small Town Romance
Colt is literally a dream. Like… this man just wants a family and the way he shows up for Amelia and her kids?? I was gone. 😭
From the second she ends up at his house, he’s taking care of her, helping with the kids, cooking, checking in, but never pushing her. Especially when it comes to her kids. He’s so respectful of her boundaries and it was honestly just really nice to see. 🥹
Also the fact that they had a one night stand at his cousin’s wedding a year ago and he fell that hard… only to wake up and realize she ghosted him?? I’m sorry that took me out 😂 This man has been down bad from the very beginning 😭
And even his dog Remy loves Amelia and the kids like please.
Colt bringing her dinner while she’s in class hit me right in the heart because it reminded me so much of when I was finishing my degree and my husband would do the same thing 🥹
And LILY?? When she asked Colt if he was her dad and he said
“No, I’m not sweetie. But I’d be the luckiest person in the world if I were.”
HELLO??? I was done. GONE.
Amelia’s been through a lot, and you can tell it really affects how she handles relationships. It made sense why she kept her guard up, even when Colt was… literally Colt.
And he never stops showing up for her. Just steady, patient, all in.
The spice was also 🥵 but it didn’t take away from the emotional side at all.
AND THAT PLOT TWIST?? I did not see that coming at all.
Overall this was just a really sweet, emotional small-town romance with a protective cowboy who is basically everything. ❤️

Ugh this book!! OMG I love Colton and Amelia so much! This man falls for her pretty much at first sight and never gets over her 😍 While Amelia thinks nothing can really happen between them she can’t deny her feelings and I loved seeing her finally stop resisting! 🥵 Once she does and it gets spicy!! 🥵🔥 The mouth on this man, and he is pierced! Amelia is an amazing mom, resistant to Colton’s help but he helps her anyways no questions asked from day one and it’s so freaking sweet 🥹 I loved how quick he took to the kids! This man wants nothing more than for her and the kids to be taken care of if every way he can. I love the suspense elements Brooke puts in her books. They keep you on the edge of your seat to see what the heck is going to happen!
This entire series so far has been absolutely AMAZING, which is not surprising as I’ve loved every book of hers I’ve read! Cannot wait for the twins books!!

Can I just say that I loved the love-at-first sight that Colt felt? Can I just say how much I love his cinnamon roll ways? The first 60% or so of this book will literally fly by, it's just so good and flows so well and how the intrigue has you riveted, turning those pages so fast. Brooke is a wonderful storyteller and the way she's crafted the world and family of not just the Willow Branch Mountain series but the series before is incredible, and to "see" old faces in each story is amazing. This story for me was sweet and heart wrenching in a way that we can all relate to, and the fear most of us have had about when to trust - to just let go and blindly let yourself fall... it was really something. I was so glad they got their HEA and cannot wait for book #4!

thank you to must love audio for the alc!
this story was absolutely full of sweet heat + tenderhearted moments between our main characters, the kids, + the family that surrounds them. after reading book #2 in this series, i was excited to read book 3, and i was not disappointed!
Colton Langston is down bad for Amelia from before they even meet. What better place to meet the love of your life that at a wedding? Colt charms his way into spending the whole wedding reception with Amelia, and then convinces her to spend the night with him, too. They have chemistry, but Amelia is more interested in raising her two kiddos and establishing a life for herself (aka she doesn't trust her judgment when it comes to men, which is fair with her track record). She's convinced they'll never see each other again... until she gets herself a stalker + finds herself being sent to Colt's family's ranch for protection while they find out who is terrorizing her family. And, as they say, was the start of their happily ever after.

THE AUDIOBOOK: Performed in dual narration by Meg Sylvan and Aaron Shedlock, I was so into this story + listened to it so quickly! There were a lot of fun elements to this story that were absolutely brought to life in audio. The chemistry between our two main characters played a starring role, but there was also this instant-family feeling between Colt and Amelia and her children. There was adventure, tension, suspense, sweet moments, funny moments... it was the perfect book to consume via audio! Out now!

This series has captured me 100%! I feel like it keeps getting better with each new book!
Take My Kiss is a single mom, forced proximity, small town romance that brings the heat and brings the heart. I love these characters so much. Colton really does have such a big heart and Amelia is so sweet. This connection was just effortless. The way these two main characters, Amelia and Colton protect the ones the Cara about is what really makes the story fierce. I absolutely love this book.
I can’t wait for more from Brooke Montgomery. I am highly intrigued by Maddox and hope he has a book! The twins in this series are also intriguing that I have questions. This book, I think, would be great for anyone!

✨ Forced proximity, small-town charm, and a cowboy who’s impossible to resist… Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery swept me off my feet! 💕
Single mom + one-night stand + a threat that changes everything = a recipe for sparks, family feels, and swoony moments you won’t forget. Her kids adore him, the town is charming, and the chemistry? 🔥 Absolute perfection. The audiobook narration by Meg Sylvan and Aaron Shedlock was amazing and truly brought Amelia & Colton to life. They both captured every tender, protective, and mouth‑dropping moment perfectly!
📚 Take My Kiss is book #3 in the Willow Branch Mountain series, but you can jump in anywhere—though reading in order makes it even sweeter. Thank you @mustloveaudio for the alc

Take My Kiss
What a wonderful, exciting story about people who meet at a wedding of family and friends, never expected to find the one. When hearts just know, then go you separate ways, until an unexpected event occurs, an you thrown together again. Finding love, feelings and emotions that brings them together, yet there is someone else out there who is behind trying to find, and possibly due harm to them. Suspense, drama and deception is always around the corner, be there for what is yet to be revealed. Great story.

Finding love, feelings and emotions that brings them together, yet there is someone else out there who is behind trying to find, and possibly due harm to them. Suspense, drama and deception is always around the corner, be there for what is yet to be revealed. Great story.

I received an ARC of Take My Kiss, book 3 in the Willow Branch Mountain series by Brooke Montgomery. This was another great story in the series. The bit of suspense kept me turning the page and I definitely didn’t anticipate the twist toward the end. Colt and Amelia’s story was an overall great read.

This was so fun, the suspense was an added thrill that I truly enjoyed.
Colton is a man who knows what he wants and is so swoon worthy. The fact that he adores her children and has tattoo and piercings 🫠
Amelia is a single mom of two who is just trying to provide the best life for her kids while danger is never far away.
This cute found family was 🤌🏼💋

3.5 ⭐️ I’m so thankful to have gotten an arc for this book!
Unfortunately this book missed the mark for me. I think some of it is my mood and not feeling this book and the other part just feeling like the things that happen in this book being so rushed and seeming completely random at times.
I was really looking forward to this book because I have loved all of the books in this series and I love a good single parent trope, but this one just didn’t do it for me.

I swear these men just keep getting better and better. Colton is by far my favourite. Hes the biggest sweetheart. I found this book hard to put down, I just wanted to keep reading.
The chemistry between Colton and Amelia was amazing and the spice was definitely spicing

Somehow Brooke always gives us a world that is perfect and heartbreaking and beautiful and heartwarming and SPICY! Colton is an acts of service KING!!!! Amelia and her kids never stood a chance! When they call him daddy I cried. Perfection then add Aaron Shedlock and Meg Sylvian and you have a perfect audiobook

Colt and Amelia have a one night stand after meeting at his cousin’s wedding. They later meet again when she and her two kids are unexpectedly forced to move in with him at his family‘s ranch after realizing that they are being stalked. Although the chemistry that they shared during their one night is still very much there, Amelia is determined to keep her distance from Colt due to her past.
This was such a sweet yet suspenseful single mom romance! The forced proximity in this was everything! I loved Amelia and her kids, and all of the ways that Colton showed up for them. He loved them so fiercely and was willing to do anything he could to prove to Amelia that he was completely all in. He really is the definition of a man down bad. I also love love LOVE a protective MMC, especially in a romantic suspense. Colt was SO protective and sweet!

It was ok. The first book was by far better. The fmc in this annoyed me with her irresponsibly. It didn't make any logical sense given her past.
I felt very luke warm about the romance and skipped the spice altogether.
It was a fast, easy read, and helped pass the time.
3.5 🌟 stars.

ARC Review: Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was absolutely obsessed with this book and the chemistry and perfection between Amelia and Colton.
What starts as a fun, flirty, chemistry-filled one night stand at a wedding where she sneaks out, turns into something so much deeper when life throws them back together and forces them under the same roof. Watching her try to play it off like she doesn’t remember, "I'm glad she did, or I would've almost bought that little act of yours in there. Pretendin' you didn't remember his name or meetin' him. You're evil!" while he very much does and is more than willing to remind her was equal parts hilarious and so full of tension.
But what really made this story stand out wasn’t just the steam and yes the cowboy delivers, "Don't worry, darlin'. I gotchu." He winks, then places the cowboy hat back on my head. "Now ride me like a good cowgirl." it was the heart. Seeing him step into her world, care for her kids, and quietly build something steady and safe around them? That’s the kind of romance that sneaks up on you. It’s not just about the spark, you could feel that instantly, it’s about realizing that what felt like a mistake might actually be exactly where you’re meant to be.
By the end, it wasn’t about remembering that one night, it was about her finally seeing that she belonged there all along, her and her two kids. "I know you won't. That's why I called you Dad, even if you aren't my real one, you'll protect me like Dads are supposed to."
Sexy, swoony, and surprisingly emotional, this one is a must-read if you love a protective cowboy, forced proximity, and a “this was never supposed to be forever” turning into exactly that!

Flew through this since I'm sick 😅 Thoroughly enjoyed Brooke Montgomery's writing, a typical feel-good romance with some angst and scary moments! Definitely what I needed while laying in bed all day 🥰 Enjoyed this one the most out of the series so far! Colton and Amelia's romance was really sweet and I'm a sucker for kiddie-sidekicks and an amazingly sweet guard dog ❤️

One night stand + single mom + man obsessed = sign me up!!! Love the tropes combination, great spice and very well written romantic suspense component!
