Two Nights With His Bride

Wild Montana Nights #2

by Kat Latham

Wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta...

Soap opera star Nancy Parsons is madly in love with Hollywood’s favorite leading man, and they’re getting married on her parents’ stunning horse ranch just outside Marietta, Montana. Actors, athletes, and politicians will be there to watch Hollywood’s most extravagant couple say I do.

There’s just one problem. The bride’s childhood friend Wyatt Wilder knows Nancy’s making the biggest mistake of her life. Sure, Jared’s got looks, money, fame, and—it seems—Nancy’s heart. But when her bridesmaids hire him to lead them on a girls’-only adventure, Wyatt has two nights in the wilderness along the Yellowstone River to show her what a real man looks and acts like. A rugged, tough, loving man.

But will he be able to do it before she says “I do” to the wrong man?

3 - 3.5 Knowing How to Work it With What's Given Stars

Well, while reading all these past books of this series, I knew this book would be exactly what it was...and did it bother me while reading it... Not one bit. Kat Latham handled the anchor position of this relay with her strong writing ability.

Ms. Latham was given the most challenging storyline; NancyLynn, a hometown girl who was the brunt of words and actions which cut deep. She grew up poor, wore discarded clothing of her peers and was the recipient of the charity baskets they made from foodstuffs they no longer felt they wanted. This girl took all of it and turned it into play acting in her mind to get by. She used that talent and made it her career. Now these town folk are tripping all over themselves to curry favor with this Wedding Event.

The man she is marrying, Jared...He is an arrogant, self-centered, cheating, asswipe, famous actor/producer. We have seen his actions through the eyes of the town during the previous books in the series. He is the kind of manipulator who found his pawn... honed in on her weaknesses and exploited them for his own gain. He has the education and charm of a serial killer causing her to have her words twisted and turned when she tries to assert herself.

And we have the Hometown good, straight talking Man, Wyatt. He grew up with this girl; saw her grit and how she was determined to get out. Also was 6 years older than her. She had been a soft spot to his father and was asked to look out for her when she started hanging around with an older guy. Wyatt did look out for her and NancyLynn was saved by him. She decided to reach out and try to be with him not long after that....but Wyatt, 21 and torn... knew this was not what he should do...and pushed her away. This pushing away re-enforced her negative feelings ... thinking he didn't want her....that no one would ever want her due "station on life".

So, here we have the final tale with these main characters who have been in and out of the other books. Nancy's bridesmaids from hell kidnap, blindfold and dress her in a Bunny Costume to take her on her girl's only getaway before the wedding. She has been hinting to go to a spa but to her shock and surprise... they arranged a rafting/camping adventure instead. When they take off the blindfold, she is in front of Wyatt, the one man she was trying to avoid during this whole time. The girls hired him to lead them on their adventure. His company is known for taking people down through the rivers near Yellowstone and giving them the VIP treatment. Nancy is Dying; the girls have her in a Playboy Bunnysuit because Jared calls her Bunny... Right....Wyatt is looking at her and he is having a very hard time training his eyes to stay on her face....When he goes into his Company's store for clothes for Nancy, she turns and asks her friends... Why this...and not the spa she hinted for...These dingbats looked at her and explained... they remembered her stories she told of Marietta when she first came to Los Angeles... how she talked of her favorite times... camping, fishing and hiking...how it use to light up her face. It was there in that moment these women who were the bane of everyone's interaction with them...it was there we were able to understand why they were part of these books.

Wyatt gives Nancy clothes to change into for the trip. As she goes into the store she sees how he has made a huge success doing what he loves. So Wyatt... a straight, tell it like it is guy. A man to admire... and her feelings for him had never died...they were there nudging her... causing her to fight to regain her focus on her love for Jared and the upcoming wedding.

She comes out; the van and gear are packed and ready to go. They all change into wetsuits for the rafting as the water is very cold. One of the girls takes a picture of all of them before they start and it includes Wyatt with his suit on but only pulled up to his hips. Nancy takes a gander at the pic and seeing it tells her friend to Not post it... knowing it would trigger Jared in questioning her about Wyatt and why his arm is around her. It wouldn't matter his arm is around the other girl too... she just is very aware and hypersensitive of how he thinks all of the time...she has been conditioned.

We can see the writing on the wall as she makes excuses for him to the girls... and Wyatt is hearing the things she is saying...paying attention. He has also started chanting a new mantra... She is off limits...she is taken. For Wyatt has always had a soft spot for Nancy...that fateful night he wanted her... but also knew it was wrong... she was just too young. Now she is grown into this woman...and he sees bits and pieces of the determined girl from long ago...On this trip Nancy has been more relaxed and happier than she has been for a long time. She has made a home for her long suffering family...has the mortgage to show for it...and by marrying Jared... she will never have to be worried again...He came to her when she needed him and thought this man was a safe haven, a protector and someone she could rely on...

As the rafting continues we see the draw between Nancy and Wyatt... the natural way they communicate; straight forward, no BS... just talking about things without hidden agendas or manipulations. Nancy see the man Wyatt has become...and she fights her inner voice telling her all the things which Jared does to make her do what He wants is not what it should be and to look to Wyatt.. what a real caring man is.

I don't think I need to tell you where this story is going...there is no cheating or underhanded actions by Nancy or Wyatt. We are shown quite clearly as the story progresses what a jerk and swine Jared is...

As I mentioned earlier, it is not the easiest of positions to write the final book in a series such as this. We have already had bits and pieces of these characters through the other books and our minds will have made some kind of assessment before this book ever begins. With all of these factors, this book was predictable in its storyline; however we did have a better result than usual. Wyatt was a man who saw the need in Nancy to let her make her own choices. Nancy saw her bad habits of letting a man "save" her in times of need. The author did not have the characters fall into the usual patterns and gave a little push back which helped the story.

I enjoyed reading all of these books and Tule Publishing has used this theme of tying series together to allow readers to feel as if they know the locations, characters and community. I think they have figured out it is a winning combination. I agree.

2.5 - "Please help me stay positive here. I'm really struggling." Stars.

My low rating is purely for the characters in this book, and not for the authors writing etc. I have read and enjoyed Kat Latham's books previously, I suppose in a way it is a compliment to the skill of her writing that she managed to portray Jared and Nancy in such a light that I despised the former for the whole book, and despaired for the latter (and not in a good way) for the first 60%, that by the time things started to pick up the damage was already done.

"This isn't how I want my story to go."

I had a feeling Nancy would be a character I would struggle to like with in the glimpses we see of her and Jared through out the previous books in the series. The author managed to nail the particular trope of her and Jared's relationship parameters so well that I almost DNF'd when he decided to surprise her on her Bachelorette party. Wyatt was a glimmer of sweet, in all of the bitter but I just cannot get on-board with a woman knowing something is wrong, unhealthy and ultimately not in her best interests, and then justifying it with a load of weak ass excuses. Again I reiterate the author wrote those characteristics perfectly, and they are just something that hit all of my personal dislikes when reading.

I wouldn't discourage anyone from picking up this book, the things that annoyed me are not necessarily big issues for anyone else. I would certainly encourage you too read the other books in the series as well, it has on the whole been an absolute joy. Sadly, this time, reaching this particular couple's happy ending just went a route that was not for me.

Nancy Parson is now a successful soap opera star, a far cry from her meager beginnings in Marietta, Montana. Now she is returning home to marry her fiancée and A-lister movie star actor, Jared. She is looking forward to her new life but nervous about coming face to face with her crush, Wyatt. Nancy has carefully avoided seeing Wyatt every time she returned home. But she isn’t going to be able to avoid him now…

Her bride’s maids have decided Nancy needs a wilderness adventure for her bachelorette party. They hire Wyatt’s company and specifically Wyatt to be there guide, not knowing of Nancy and Wyatt's past history.

Wyatt had no idea it was a party for Nancy and 2 other actor beauties, but the mere sight of Nancy floods Wyatt with thoughts he shouldn’t have for someone that grew up with him, let a loan the fact she is getting married.

Nancy’s fiancée unexpected crashes the adventure. Every protective instinct toward Nancy erupts when Wyatt sees what a self absorb asshat Jared is. Wyatt will do what he can to make Nancy see the error of her ways.

Two Nights With His Bride was a perfect romance read. The story has characters you couldn’t help but want to know. I truly was disappointed when the story ended, wanting more of Wyatt’s and Nancy’s story. Quick and easy read, this was the superb contemporary romance read.

Una preciosidad, ambientada en Marietta (Montana). Nancylynn Pruitt (29), hoy actriz de éxito con el nombre de Nancy Parsons, se va a casar con un actor y productor de éxito. En su despedida de soltera se reencuentra con Wyatt Wilder (35). Notan chispillas y mariposas en el estómago. Solo que, claro, ella está comprometida para casarse con otro.
Encuentro lo que me gusta tanto de Latham: una ambientación atractiva, unos personajes realistas y que Wyatt no es un caballero con brillante armadura que mágicamente le arregla sus problemas. No, Nancy asume que esta vez es ella la que tiene que resolver las cosas para asumir una nueva relación con libertad e igualdad, sin deberle nada a Wyatt.
Una gozada de lectura. Me la he leído de un tirón y solo lamento que Latham ya no publique más.

•••••••••


REVIEW: TWO NIGHTS WITH HIS BRIDE is the sixth installment in the Montana Brides series written by several authors including Kat Latham, focusing on the town of Marietta, Montana. This is soap opera star Nancy Parsons (aka Nancylynn Pruitt), and Wyatt Wilder’s storyline. There is a slight cross over with Kat’s ONE NIGHT WITH HER BACHELOR with the appearance of Molly Dekker and Wyatt’s half-brother Gabriel Morales . TWO NIGHTS WITH HIS BRIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty although Nancy’s storyline has been building throughout the series.

Told form alternating third person points of view (Wyatt and Nancy) TWO NIGHTS WITH HIS BRIDE focuses on a second chance for Wyatt and Nancy. Nancy is about to get married to one of Hollywood’s leading actor/ directors but no one is happy about the upcoming nuptials including Nancy, herself. Jared’s control over Nancy is abusive and exploitive, and her television career is tied to the man with whom she is about to marry. When Nancy’s bridesmaids book a bachelorette wilderness weekend, Nancy finds herself face to face with the man who broke her heart, years before.

Nancy and Wyatt grew up together. Nancy’s family worked on Wyatt’s family ranch, and in this Wyatt became Nancy’s protector and big brother but Nancy wanted something more. Wyatt’s rejection broke Nancy’s heart but she has never forgotten about the man, his family, or his ranch.


At the beginning of the storyline, the relationship between Wyatt and Nancy is tepid; there is a history between our couple that is slowly revealed throughout the novel. The $ex scenes are provocative and steamy, but limited to the final chapters of the book. Several of the previous storyline characters play a secondary and supporting role (if only by way of mention). Nancy’s best friends are a force to be reckoned with especially when it comes to taking control or minding their own business.


TWO NIGHTS WITH HIS BRIDE is a slow building, friends to lovers/second chance (of sorts) storyline that focuses on Wyatt’s attraction to his former friend, and Nancy’s struggle with her upcoming wedding to one of Hollywood’s biggest a$$holes. TWO NIGHTS WITH HIS BRIDE is the culmination of a troubled relationship between Nancy and her controlling, stalkerish fiancé. Jared’s control over Nancy is far reaching that will affect her career and current television role.

In all honesty, I felt slight disconnected from the characters. Perhaps, it was because I had not read all of the previous installments in the Montana Brides series and therefore did not know the entire story behind Nancy’s attraction to Jared, or her desire to ‘keep face’ in the eyes of the Hollywood elite, but there was something ‘missing’-the spark? the sympathy? the emotional aspect? –I just didn’t care when all was said and done.

This book was received free via Netgalley for an honest review. My review is below.

And so the brides series comes to its conclusion with the bride's book. Nancy Pruitt is one of Marietta's golden children. She's moved away and become a star. She's living her dream and about the marry the love of her life and co-star, Jared. Their wedding has turned Marietta inside out and inspired several other romances. Except for the fact that Jared is cheating, the bridesmaids can't get along and are just horrible people, the wedding dress is hideous, Nancy is at her wit's end and exhausted. So, to cap it all off, the bachelorette party is a camping trip, a trip run by Wyatt, childhood friend and crush. Wyatt knows Nancy is making a mistake, but it seems there is nothing he can do about it.

And so, the camping trip commences with the bridesmaids making plays for Wyatt who only has eyes for Nancy. The Jared shows up demanding all sorts of nonsense. Wyatt would do almost anything to stop the wedding. Nancy is seriously wondering what she is doing. It's a madcap adventure with hijinks galore mixed with annoying idiot people who really need to grow up.

The wedding day dawns... and then you get the rest of the story.

I really liked Nancy. Not only did she go from passive to taking control of her life, she grew, she learned, she showed everyone up, and she acted with grace and from a position of kindness as opposed to being the Valkyrie she could have been but would have wreaked untold havoc. (Don't get me wrong, wreaking havoc would have been great, but it would also have hurt those she loved.) Wyatt worked overtime to help Nancy see herself better and to help her with all the issues that arose. This is definitely a two heads (or many many heads) are better than one since it took two families to deal with all the mess. I liked how they both worked together and were willing to make sacrifices for each other, how they both bent a bit even when pride demanded they not bend at all. I liked how, in the end, it really was wonderful.

I received this book through NetGalley & the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a light, quick read, meant especially for the cold snap we're currently having. The story was predictable, but the details were fresh and new enough that it didn't matter.


Nancylynn Pruitt, now known as Nancy Parsons, is marrying Hollywood's biggest star, Jared. Only she's having second thoughts about it because he's changing. It might have something to do with the fact that her old crush, Wyatt, is the tour guide for her bachelorette party. It might also have to do with the fact that everyone around her is trying to subtly tell her that Jared isn't the right one for her. But Nancy sticks to her word. So she continues to go forward with the wedding.
It isn't until Nancy is standing before Jared & all their guests that she realizes she can't marry him, because she knows who she is, and it's not who Jared wants her to be.
She runs off with Wyatt, and hides away in a little cabin while the dust settles.
Jared continues to try to manipulate Nancy in order to get them back together, but it doesn't work, because Nancy is in love with Wyatt.
In the end, Nancy and Wyatt do end up together.

Two Nights with His Bride is the sixth and final book in the Montana Born Brides Series. It is however, the only book I’ve read from the series. It’s definitely the book I’ve been waiting for. Two Nights with His Bride is full of surprises. The biggest being how crazy I am for the hero, Wyatt Wilder. Wyatt was mentioned in Kat’s One Night with Her Bachelor, and I was sure I wasn’t going to like the man. I thought Wyatt was going to be one of those heroes who had to be knocked down and put back together in order to be likeable. From the minute he appeared in the book, I knew I was wrong about him and page after page I realized what an amazing man he was.

Nancy Parsons is known as Nancylynn Pruitt in Marietta, Montana, where she was born and raised. She has returned to marry a man she thinks can give her everything she’s ever wanted. Her bachelorette weekend is going to be the catalyst to finally allowing her to wake up and truly take a look at herself and her life, whether she wants to or not.

I’ve already gushed about Wyatt but he’s a man who has known Nancy her entire life. He was her high school crush who broke her heart. He’s also the only person who knows a secret that Nancy prefers to leave in her past. It’s this secret and their shared past that makes Nancy nervous. Wyatt was once her savior and he has no intention on stopping now.

Two Nights with His Bride is a second chance love story with main characters who are strong, courageous, and likeable. Kat Latham has written a story that includes a topic I feel very strongly about. She’s made the characters and their actions real. She’s shown that real love doesn’t mean you have to stifle yourself or live in fear. Real love isn’t about putting someone down or belittling them just to make yourself look or feel better. Real love is being there for the each other, whether it’s a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, or simply just being there.

Kat has once again proved why she’s an author I look forward to reading. She brings wonderful main and secondary characters to her stories. She makes you laugh and tugs on your heartstrings. She somehow manages to make me never want a story to end. I’m definitely looking forward to returning to Marietta when Austin Wilder, Wyatt’s brother gets his story.

This is the sixth book in the series and this one concerns Nancy Parson, the bride to be around whom all the other books in the series are based. The time for the wedding is rapidly approaching and her bridesmaids from hell arrange her bachelorette party - rafting, fishing and camping in the Montana hills along the Yellowstone river. Sounds great - err, no because their mountain guide is Wyatt Wilder who knew Nancy as a child and teenager, helping her out of bother and always protecting her, even from herself and her desires. They’ve never met since she came home to marry the movie star, Jared, but Wyatt isn’t convinced Jared is good enough for Nancy…. It would be too easy to give spoilers away now so I’ll stop with the synopsis - you’ll have to read it yourself to find out what happens!

A great conclusion to the series. The characters involved from the other books continue to play roles in this one and are developed further but the book would still work as a standalone, too. The drama, trauma and conflict in this story are worthy of a soap opera like that starring Nancy. You’re not quite certain how things are going to work out until very near the end of the story, lots of cliff hanger moments to keep the reader enthralled, making this a great addition to the whole series.

Thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley, too,

I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest review.

Soap opera star Nancy Parsons thinks she has found her next leading man to play the very big role of husband! Jared seems like the obvious choice but for some reason her heart wont let go of her first love Wyatt Wilder

Wyatt Wilder knows Nancy better than anyone and if there is one thing that he knows it is that the Jared is not the man for her. Can Wyatt keep his heart out of the equation and support her decision or will he throw his good intentions out of the window and show her what a real man looks like?

Read and find out!!

I may have received this book as an ARC but I must admit that I stalk this site waiting for the next book in the Montana Born Bride series or any book that has anything to do with the town of Marietta published by Tule Publishing.

This book did not disappoint it was laugh out loud funny, shocking, sexy and totally bursting with sweetness. I loved every second of it, Nancy at times seemed like a push over when it came to love but when it really mattered she stepped up and did what was needed. Wyatt is soo sexy and manly that you want to just gobble him up.

This book is selling on Amazon kindle for 2.99 and that is a great price. If you know me, my criteria is always, "is this a great book for a great price?", and by golly it is! Great job Kat Latham.

[Isha Coleman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book did not turn out like I expected. There is a huge wedding set to happen between Nancy Parsons (the hometown girl turned soap star) and Jared (the big time movie star). In Nancy you have a successful soap star that is unsure of herself. So she has a tendency to make spur of the moment decisions. Like getting engaged. The problem. Wyatt Wilder has been in love with Nancy forever and has no intention of letting her go. This set off a chain of events that may lead to the Wedding of the Year imploding. Two Nights with His Bride is another great read from Kat Latham. Readers will have a good time as they party with these characters. Full of heartwarming surprises and heartbreaking reveals. Nancy and Wyatt lead the heart on a merry chase.

Final book in a "series" but can be read as a stand alone.

Content: 2 sex scenes, language including the F word, innuendo

**This series frustrated me simply because some of the books were fairly clean with minimal language and sex while others were very steamy and had a lot of innuendo and crudeness. The first book had mild language and fade to black sex, I had to skim the the 4th book because it was all sex and language.

[Char (1RadReader59) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nancy (Nancylynn Pruitt) Parson the soap opera star of good old Hollywood and someone from Marietta, Montana. Did not come from the apple pie in the sky humble beginnings she led her friends to believe. No, it wasn’t the lap of luxury either. It was dirt poor, junky trailer on the land owned by Wyatt Wilder’s family.

Although, she and Wyatt have six years in age difference she loved following the older boy with the rattlesnake disposition around. He could strike at a moment notice yet at those times when you needed him most, he was always there for you. Sometimes even for piggyback rides.

But when an abusive boyfriend came after her at fifteen, he allowed her to handle it but was there to comfort her afterward. Stood guard by her that summer. Though a misunderstanding ended their friendship for good that summer too. Not ever running into one another. Leading right up to the present and the whole time they prayed they would be able to avoid one another for the wedding prep.

She knew it might be hard because when his dad fell on hard times and had to sell the ranch. She came in and bought the place for her parents. But now his dad worked for her parents as the foreman instead of the other way around. Awkward!

But when her hair-brain bridesmaids do a kind gesture for her, due to all the made-up stories she fed them, when they first. She was, whisked away for an adventure weekend. Let the fun begin or not. When her fiancé shows up things get extremely weird.

I thought Ms. Latham for having to bring up the rear (so to speak) with such established characters. She did an excellent job. I did not see Jared going in the direction you took his character. Bravo!

3 solid stars for book two in the Wild Montana Nights series. Wyatt Wilder and Nancylynn Pruitt have known one another their entire lives. Nancylynn had a huge crush on Wyatt and at age 15 let him know and tried to take things too far. Wyatt was 21 at that time and there was no way he was interested in a 15-year-old. He had to shut that down quickly! Fast forward 14 years and Nancylynn, now known as Nancy Parsons, a soap opera star, is back in town for her bachelorette party/weekend and Wyatt is the guide for it all. A lot of soul-searching by Nancy and Wyatt goes on during that weekend. Could Nancy be about to make the biggest mistake of her life?

Two Nights with His Bride is a quick, cute story with a little bit more than a little bit of drama. It isn’t over the top, though. You can read this one in an afternoon.

Book 2 in the Wild Montana Nights series, also book 6 in the Montana Born Brides series. Easily can be read as a stand-alone.

Starlet NancyLynn in engaged to one of Hollywood's hottest stars. Before the wedding, she returns to her hometown for her bachelorette weekend and runs into her childhood crush, Wyatt. As she spends time with Wyatt, she begins to realize that Jared is not as perfect as she thought.

This book was not for me. More than half of the book is about Nancy's relationship with Jared, not her and Wyatt. I get the premise, but this is a short book and way too much time was spent on it.

* Audiobook Review *

3.5 stars. A fun friends-to-lovers romance with a side of a runaway bride drama to make it interesting. Maxine Mitchell was wonderful and I believe it was my first listen from Connor Brown. His performance for Wyatt fit so well. I really enjoyed the performances by both narrators. The romance in this story is subtle, yet steady, the emotional tension builds, and Wyatt was the man Nancy needed all along.

First reviewed at Keeper Bookshelf

Like anyone who has followed the Montana Born Brides series from the beginning, I have been waiting for Nancy’s story. We have gotten bits and pieces, mostly about the super jerk Jared (who on principle I despised from the first mention of his sorry ass) – now we have the future bride’s perspective… and it is simply amazing.

For this review I’m simply going to let the synopsis above be the lead-in tease. Because, honestly I do not want to give away much in the way of spoilers. (and it would be so easy for me to give a complete summary of this amazing love story, but I won’t) Two Nights with His Bride is a story that you need to read for yourself to completely fall in love with the characters and the story. It is detailed enough, rich enough, engaging enough and definitely sexy enough to read as a stand alone novel. So if this is the first time you’ve encountered the Montana Born Brides don’t hesitate to read this addition to the series (actually the final story in this particular series). Yet, I have to say that you will be so much more deeply engaged with the characters if you have read the entire series. Not totally necessary, but the ride will mean so much more to you if you have, in my opinion.

Nancy is simply a sweetheart. She’s risen to the top of her profession and she should have it all. But Nancy is also impulsive, which gets her in a lot of trouble – and one huge spot of trouble is the man she has chosen to marry, Jared. She is seeing a different side of him than is shown to his adoring fans. This time her jump in now and think later tendencies might have landed her in the biggest mistake of her life.

Wyatt has known Nancy most of her life and he is convinced that Jared is not the man for Nancy. In fact, he is the man for this impulsive lady – he now just has to convince her of that fact. A trail ride set up by her bridesmaids is the perfect chance to show her exactly the kind of man she needs in her life – now and forever.

The author, Kat Latham, doesn’t take it easy on us readers either. Expect some moments when you don’t know exactly how things are going to turn out. Edge of your seat reading is definitely in your future in Two Nights with His Bride. I loved this final story in the series, it offers a lovely couple, tension, tears, laughter, a chance to catch up with characters from previous novels – and a absolutely charming romance where there will be happy ever afters – it just takes a bit of time to get there. But the journey is so worth it. Pick this one up and simply enjoy.

The wedding of Nancy Parsons is the glue that has kept the Montana Born Brides series held together. Each couple has had a part to play in the celebrity wedding of the year, and we've caught glimpses of the bride in the run up. So for her story to close what has been another great series from Tule Publishing, with the added factor that Kat Latham has written it, was a real treat. This series has hit all the right spots for me and Two Nights with His Bride ended the series on a high.



Kat Latham has done what she does best and brought her reader a strong, emotive read with fabulous characters. Nancy and Wyatt's story is the one I have been waiting for; I was intrigued how their relationship would work bearing in mind Wyatt isn't the groom and it was a book I struggled to tear myself away from. It is a little heavier than the previous books, but the emotion is balanced by a romance which holds humour, is sensitive and perfectly paced.

"Making a few bad decisions doesn't mean all our choices are doomed to fail."

Nancy and Wyatt have known each other for years and whilst Wyatt knows her past was not what people would expect the trust and respect he shows her was heartwarming. He was exactly what I was hoping for and once more a Kat Latham man has stolen a piece of my heart.

"Buckle up, sweetheart. We're in for one hell of a ride."

This series has brought many superb visits to Marietta and there are couples here that will no doubt feature and bring added value to future books from this imprint. It's worth pointing out that, as per the previous books, Two Nights with His Bride can be read as a standalone, but you will appreciate it even more if you have not only read this series but One Night with Her Bachelor and Taming the Legend; whilst these are separate series, they feature Wyatt's siblings who themselves are great. And now begins my wait for Austin Wilder; he may have only made a fleeting appearance but he made an impression.

Title: Two Nights With His Bride (Book 6 in the Montana Born Bride)
Author: Kat Latham
Genre: Contemporary Romance

The theme is Montana Born Brides and for this book, its specifically celebrity wedding meets Runaway Bride. The whole Montana Born Brides by Tule Publishing plays on the overarching plot wherein a homegrown hollywood celebrity is holding her wedding in the town of Marietta, Georgia. Each of the books has its own plot going on but it centers around this main event. One other thing that seems to be common among these books as well was how nice the celebrity bride was and how much of a douche bag the groom is. All the books however can be read as a standalone.

The bride is Nancy Parson aka Nancylynn Pruitt small town girl, who grew up dirt poor but so determined she actually did break out and became a star in Hollywood and now she's about to marry another star to make her fairy tale come true. But is Jared really her prince charming or the douche manipulator that her close friends and family and even the people of Marietta seems to think he is. Wyatt Wilder has known Nancy since she was a little girl but when she was fifteen their closeness seemed to have detonated. Never one to mince words, which is also his weakness, he's seen how much Nancy has grown and how much her dirt bag/stalker of a fiance really didn't deserve her. So can he stop this wedding from even happening and can he finally admit that he has more than sentimental feelings for the girl he once knew.

I love how the characters of Nancy and Wyatt was played out in the book, what they were to each other, how close they really were and how those feelings seems to have given way to something stronger and more adult. Kat Latham managed to put down on paper such a simple but multilayered relationship that it really does make you believe in a happily ever after without one sacrificing who they are but instead they become stronger for who they are to one another. The dialogue was fantastic, the tone was light despite the theme of emotional and psychological abuse, the secondary characters were all perfect. Fans of the series will definitely breath a sigh of relief that douchebag Jared gets his due (yes it seems the A-hole is the secondary overarching plot).

It's finally time for the Hollywood wedding in Marietta. Nancy Parsons is the local girl turned Hollywood starlet, marrying in her hometown using locals for everything... Nancy has done well for herself -- she is no longer poor NancyLynn Pruitt who wore donated clothes and whose family depended on others' generosity to keep them afloat. She is marrying a handsome Hollywood star whom she loves and she looks forward to the security of her marriage. Too bad the groom isn't the Prince Nancy has convinced herself he is. Nancy is relieved when her two Bridesmaids come together to plan a Girls' weekend for her Bachelorette Party because she could really use the time away. Unfortunately, they booked a rafting weekend with Wyatt Wilder -- her high school crush who rejected her.
Wyatt was happy to be well away from all the celebrity wedding hoopla, When he realizes that the Bachelorette weekend he is leading is Nancy's, he decides to make the best of it, and try to make amends for his past behavior. It becomes clear to Wyatt fairly quickly that maybe Nancy's making a mistake. Can he convince her that he is the better choice.
Kat Latham is quickly becoming an author on my must-read list. This story is no exception. A fitting end to the Montatna Brides series, she has created a story of two people that are successful at what they tried to do, but flawed and human. Nancy has become successful doing what she once used as an escape from her life, but with all her success, she still fears a return to poverty. She knows she is lucky and tries very hard to be deserving. Unfortunately, the man she put her trust in is a true jerk. One thing she never had was a healthy relationship with a good man. Wyatt is a good man who only wants the best for Nancy, and he spends his time trying to get her to realize that she is worthy of a whole lot more.
I don't want to spoil the story with specifics, but I will say that I laughed out loud at some of the antics, wanted to strangle Jared, and rooted for both Nancy and Wyatt.
Though it can be read as a stand alone, this was a great ending to the series. The story kept me interested and I was so anxious to find out what would happen next that I could not put it down.

Now that is how you end a series on a high note! Kat Latham's Two Nights with His Bride was exactly what I wanted in this sixth and final book in the multi-authored Montana Born Brides series from Tule Publishing. Nancy Parsons, aka Nancylynn Pruitt, was a constant figure throughout the first five books and to finally have her story told in such a manner is the proverbial cherry on top of what's been an entertaining and fun-filled series about six women who become brides and the men who they spend their forever-afters with. The snippets we get of Nancy and her groom-to-be, Jared Lovell, show that their fairy tale love story is exactly that: a fairy tale, one that sounds too good to be true and we get evidence of it time and again. I found myself wishing she would see him for what he truly was but sometimes, we see what we want to see, refusing to listen to others when they tell you otherwise, as was the case with Nancy.

With stories like this, you pretty much have an idea what kind of an ending you're going to get but the route that Nancy and Wyatt took to get their was such a pleasant and unexpected ride and I couldn't help but grin like a complete nut when I got to the end. I oohed and I aahed and I simply enjoyed this contemporary romance and Nancy and Wyatt's tale of true love coming to fruition in its own perfect time. On a side note, I had no clue that Wyatt was connected with Gabriel Morales from One Night with Her Bachelor (the Bachelor Auction series) and Camila Morales from Taming the Legend (the London Legends series). I had already read both books and completed both series and it's highly possible that Wyatt was mentioned then but I didn't make the connection until Gabriel showed up in this story. Silly me. I'm happily recommending the Montana Born Brides series with an extra special mention to my favorite book in the bunch: Two Nights with His Bride by Kat Latham. This very fab read gets five out of five stars. ♥

I started reading these books during the Bachelor Auction series, I am so glad that they were connected to the second series Montana Born Bride series. These books, all of them, were phenomenal!
However, this review is on "Two Nights with His Bride".
It is about Nancylynn and Wyatt two people that knew each other growing up. When Nancylynn was in high school her dad did not like Brady, the person she was dating, he thought there was something just off about him and did not trust him. He asked Wyatt to start picking Nancylynn up from high school. The first time Wyatt saw Brady, he felt the same way. Wyatt is six years older than Nancylynn, and for some reason Wyatt feels very protective of her. Unfortunately, Brady does try something and fortunately, Wyatt steps in before it becomes more serious. When Nancylynn finished high school, she moves to Hollywood, becomes a big star and changes her name to just Nancy. She meets Jared on the set of the soap opera she works on when he does a guest appearance on the show. They start dating and they eventually become engaged. Nancy comes home to plan her wedding. However, something is wrong in this relationship; Jared is ... Stop, no spoilers from me!

Kat Latham does a phenomenal job telling this story. She will make you laugh. She will make you aggravated while reading the story! She will make you want to take a steel pipe to Jared! Then, turn around and hug the stuffing out of Wyatt. I am so glad that Nancy told Jared to....... Darn it, I said no spoilers!

I want to thank Net Galley and Tule Publishing for the ARC of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to finish the series…I missed one darn it!

Thank you for reading my review. Please, read "Two Nights with His Bride" and the others in the series as well, you will definitely not be disappointed in any of these books. :-)

What a grand finale for the series, I am still gasping for a breath.. wow. Through the series, there are glimpses of this celebrity wedding, and now we finally have the story, and it is nothing like I expected, oh, it is so much more.
First, what a respectable way, and tone, the author has written about an abusive relationship. The way it is described escalating incident after incident. The control and jealousy, the checking up on her every moment and move, and slowly taking over her life in every aspect, was eye opening and chilling.
Wyatt and Nancy have so much history, after all, they basically grew up together. As they reflect and share the childhood memories, there is so much pain, hurt, and shame, but also pride, respect, comfort and joy. Their journey has not been an easy one, the things Nancy has gone through, my respect towards her grew with every page. Wyatt has such a big heart, he is protective, kind, affectionate, wants to fix things. Oh, he comes off at first as a grumpy and surly, but that is just the protective shell in him.
This story just took my breath away, and captured my mind. I read it at one sitting, and wanted it to just go on. Wyatt and Nancy are so perfect for each other, not perfect people, but they fit so well together. They listen to each other, support each other, through some really tough times, and are always willing to help each other where needed. The story is on the edge, with the relationship with Jared, the consequences of ending it, and unforgettable wilderness trip in the gorgeous scenery of the Yellowstone, with the childhood memories and experiences, and the relationship with Wyatt, all together it makes a wonderful, heartbreaking love story, that tops, and finishes, the lovely wedding series in Marietta

Kat Latham did it! Honestly, I thought it would be impossible to make Nancylynn Pruitt, aka actress, Nancy Parson into a character that I not only liked but also sympathized with after reading the first five books in the series. This author did have a huge challenge because Wyatt, by his own admission, was not a good older brother to his stepbrother growing up. Since I had also read Gabriel’s story, Wyatt was not on my list of heroes either. Then she was able to give the two manic bridesmaids some redeeming qualities too, Boy, am I impressed.

Two Nights with His Bride deserves 5 stars for the way the author took these two from hardship childhoods, developing them into worthy characters. The insight into how they overcame their past caused me to start to pull for them. Though I will say Ms. Latham waited until the last possible moment for Nancy to see the light. That wedding dress would have been the last straw for me. Even if Wyatt had not come riding up, I believe this strong woman would have found a way out of the marriage before it was too late, even wearing that hideous dress..

I even liked the conclusion. Jared still is the controlling vindictive jerk doing exactly what he threatened to do. Slowly over time Nancy is able to rebuild her career, while I was thinking she would be decide to give it all up. Instead this conclusion stay within the behavior that Nancy has shown throughout her life. She simply lost herself for a while with Jared.

Easily a stand-alone but why would you want to read just one. The building up to Nancy’s HEA is worth every penny for all five previous books. I kind of like how her almost wedding from hades helped so many other couples find happiness.
