Videti je, da jima nič ne zapira poti do sreče … Toda Megan je izgubila že toliko ljudi, da se boji spet na koga navezati. Bo tvegala srce za Hunterja?

Unrequited love is one of my favorite romances. Seeing that desperate longing finally recognized and reciprocated brings joy to my heart. This is why I’ve been excited for Hunter and Megan’s romance, and it did not disappoint.

Hunter Abbott has been smitten with Megan for years, not that she knows, because she only had eyes for his brother, Will. When he catches Megan crying outside the family store, he finally gets a chance at showing just how deeply he cares for her. When he finds out Nina, Megan’s sister is moving and possibly closing the diner, Hunter resolves to do everything in his power to work things out so that Megan will stay in town. He’s determined to make the most of his chance to finally get the girl he’s dreamed about for years.

Megan’s life is in an upheaval. After years of working at her sister’s diner, she gets the shocking news that Nina is moving and selling it. Also, she’s had to give up her long held crush on Will Abbott when he fell hopelessly in love with Cameron. That hurt, but not quite as much as she thought it would. Maybe she was more in love of the idea of Will than actually being with him? When Hunter swoops in and offers her a shoulder to cry on, she can’t help but replay Will’s words to her “You’re focusing on the wrong Abbott brother”. Hunter is so sweet, helpful and intense and for the first time she starts to see him in a new light.

I had my doubts about Megan when I heard that Hunter would be paired with her. I love all the Abbotts and I wasn’t sure Megan was good enough for him after the way she treated Cameron. When Megan apologized in the last book, my feelings started to change for her, and I was eager to see the softer side of Megan and find out what made her tick. I was relieved to find a woman who cared about the town folk like they were her own family members, and I felt sympathy for a woman who lost her parents in tragedy at such a young age.

My heart went out to Hunter, the oldest of the Abbott children, because he yearned for a woman who barely registered his existence for so many years:

How exactly did you tell a woman who barely knew you were alive that you thought about her constantly? That seeing her upset killed you. That wanting her kept you awake at night.


Through the previous books, I got to know Hunter on the surface. He was devoted to his twin sister, Hannah, was there for her through the grief that threatened to consume her when she lost her husband. He also came off as a little stuffy and uptight. I was happily surprised to find Hunter anything but stuffy, he was definitely bossy though, in the best possible way, *wink* and all about taking control behind closed doors:

Gazing down at her, he touched his lips to hers. “After tonight…You’re mine. You know that, don’t you?”

“I wasn’t expecting our resident mild-mannered accountant to be so alpha.”
Don’t let the pocket protector fool you.”


Megan is a little overwhelmed by Hunter, and worried about loving someone and losing them, like she did her parents, so it’s a gradual process breaking her walls down. Hunter helped Megan realize that you have to risk some hurt to let someone fully in, but the rewards are well worth it.

I was thrilled to see sweet, hot, and bossy Hunter finally get the girl, and I was relieved Megan proved a worthy, loving woman for him!

Marie Force has created a place I dream to live in, not only because of the quaintness of a small picturesque town, but because of the big loving Abbott family. I look forward to being immersed back into their world again with the next romance (possibly Ella?). I’m getting to know all these characters so well it feels a little like coming home with every new installment.

Uff ich weiß nicht, ob die Reihe mich nach Band 1 direkt anfing mich langsam aber sicher zu verlieren. Irgendwie mag ich jeden weiteren Teil weniger als den davor, dabei will ich diese Reihe so gerne mögen und zu einer Wohlfühlreihe für mich machen. Es könnte doch alles so schön sein mit diesem traumhaft idyllischen Setting und der liebenswerten Großfamilie Abbott.

Auf Hunter als Protagonisten hatte ich mich wirklich gefreut. Ich wollte sehen was hinter seiner spießigen "BWL"-Fassade steckt. Auch auf Megan war ich gespannt, da sie in den vorigen Teilen nicht gut wegkam, hat mich hier vor allem die potenzielle Charakterentwicklung gelockt.

Aber was soll ich sagen? Meine Erwartungen wurden leider in beiden Fällen enttäuscht. Hunter war eine ganz seltsame Mischung aus "Ich mach dir den Tiger im Bett" und "Ansonsten bin ich ein Schmusekater, der komplett nach Megans Pfeife tanzt". Versteht mich nicht falsch: es gibt weder gegen das eine, noch gegen das andere etwas einzuwenden und eine gesunde Mischung aus beidem mag ja normalerweise auch den Reiz ausmachen. Aber ich hab es hier der Autorin einfach nicht abgekauft. Weder den Tiger noch das Schmusekätzchen. Es war in meinen Augen einfach alles überzogen kitschig und es ging mir auch alles vieeeeel zu schnell. Ganz seltsames Pacing hatte die Lovestory für mich.

Am Ende bin ich jetzt echt unentschlossen, ob es noch Sinn macht die Reihe weiter zu verfolgen...

AND I LOVE YOU by Marie Force
(Book 4 Green Mountain Series)
Release Date: March 3, 2015

REVIEW:

Marie Force gives readers another standout addition to her Green Mountain series, along with an extra bonus short story at the end that you won’t want to miss. The mountains are once again alive with the sounds of the heart-stealing Abbott family and the lives they share.

This time around we’re having fun with the oldest Abbott brother. Hunter has suffered in silence long enough. It’s time for him to make up for all the lost time he’s spent pining away and yearning for a chance with Megan, but done nothing towards putting some points on the scoreboard. Game on!

After the object of Hunter’s desire is suddenly faced with a bleak future, Hunter realizes he might lose any chance he has with her if he doesn’t do something and fast. Unbeknownst to Hunter, there’s some sneaky behind-the-scenes matchmaking and plotting going on to ensure that the opportunity comes knocking. As Hunter finally steps forward and makes his stand, things take a sharp turn towards that long awaited happily-ever-after.

Beneath those suits and ties, there’s a hottie begging to be unleashed, and Hunter won’t disappoint in his newly appointed status. And even the once not-so-likeable Megan begins to expose her lighter and brighter side, along with redeeming herself in a way that’s understandable and believable. Although Megan has ongoing issues that make her hesitant in starting a relationship with Hunter, together they move forward and share some truly unforgettable moments. Hunter puts forth every effort and uses all his best qualities and skills in assuring that he doesn’t lose the prize. You won’t be disappointed in Hunter’s “courting” skills. He’s a man of many talents. Plenty of emotionally sweet and tender moments, along with laugh out loud fun. Hunter and Megan are the perfectly paired Ying and Yang.

The Abbott family and the entire cast of characters are irresistibly captivating. Their romances are delectable and yeah, they’re also blazing with heat and passion. The updates on other family and friends are always an added treat, too. And the matchmakers extraordinaire are already busy working on their next project. And, of course, you’ll find plenty of Marie’s trademark snarky and sassy dialogue that keeps the snap, crackle and pop going strong. Nope - there’s never a dull moment from the time you arrive in Butler until that sad moment when you realize it’s time to go home.

MF makes sure that you’ll never want to say good-bye to Butler and the Green Mountains of Vermont. And no, you can’t take Fred the Moose with you – but the invitation is always open for another visit!

Megan ist am Boden zerstört. Ihre Schwester, die zugleich auch ihre Freundin und Arbeitgeberin ist, zieht ins Ausland. Sie wird ihr furchtbar fehlen. Als Megan schluchzend zusammenbricht, findet Hunter sie und versucht, Megan zu trösten. Aus dieser tröstenden Umarmung wird schnell mehr, hat Hunter doch heimlich schon lange für Megan geschwärmt...

Mein Leseeindruck:

Eigentlich liebe ich Romantik und ich mag schöne Liebesgeschichten. Ich mag es auch durchaus, wenn es mal kitschig wird. Doch in dieser Geschichte war mir das alles zu viel. Eigentlich ist Megan schon lange in einen von Hunters Brüdern verliebt, doch kaum zeigt ihr Hunter seine Gefühle, wendet sich Megan ihm zu. Daraus wird ganz schnell die große Liebe, die beiden haben den besten Sex und alles ist gut. Für mich ist das alles zu viel Harmonie, zu viel "rosarot".

Ich muss nicht in jedem Buch Drama und Spannung haben, aber diese Geschichte konnte mich so einfach nicht fesseln. Ich fand sie stellenweise sehr langatmig und vorhersehbar. Mir haben ein paar Überraschungen und Wendungen gefehlt. Zudem konnte ich mich in die Charaktere nicht hineinfühlen; sie blieben mir fremd und wirkten zum großen Teil auch unecht auf mich.

Mal gleich vorneweg: Dieses Buch war nicht schlecht, aber im Verhältnis zu den anderen Bänden der Reihe (besonders Band 1 und 2),hat mir einfach was gefehlt 😪.
Megan war in den vorherigen Bänden ja nicht gerade ein sympathischer Charakter 🙈, das hat sich hier zwar geändert, aber sie ist extrem blass geblieben...
An Hunter hatte ich hohe Erwartungen, aber irgendwie war es mir zu extrem wie sehr er sein Leben nach Megan ausgerichtet hat und einfach alles hingenommen hat 😳.

Es war mir einfach zu.... perfekt? 🤔 Dadurch habe ich mit den beiden überhaupt nicht mitgefiebert 🙈.

Ich muss allerdings sagen, dass ich bei diesem Buch von Anfang an skeptisch war 😅. Mir war fast klar, dass "Schenk mir deine Träume" nicht zu meinen Lieblingen zählen wird 😅, aaaaber nachdem mich das Paar in Band 5 sehr interessiert, musste ich da jetzt durch🤷🏻‍♀️😅

One thing I can always count on when picking up a Marie Force book is complete and utter enjoyment.

I'll admit that Megan was difficult to like in the previous books because of her feelings for Will (Hunter's brother) and her treatment of Cameron (Will's GF).  I truly wondered how Ms. Force was going to endear the reader to Megan.  Did she?  Did I like Megan?  I did.  Once Megan understood her feelings about Will, she was able to get out of her own way and realize just how incredible Hunter truly is.

Hunter...ohhhh Hunter.  Hunter is a bit of a workaholic who dearly loves his family.  He's the older sibling, the herder and keeper of everyone else.  He isn't intrusive or annoying, he's just always there, quietly in some way, making sure everyone else is okay.  Ms. Force gives us more of Hunter and Hannah's sibling/twin relationship and I truly loved that.

Once Hunter decided he wanted Megan he stopped at nothing to make her his. Hunter was much more alpha in the bedroom than I anticipated.... I totally did not see that coming!  He even admits to Megan that he likes being the boss...

 
"I'm the oldest of ten kids.  Bossy is my business."

"Are you always like that?"

"Sometimes  more than others."

"Like when?"

"You really want to know?" he asked.

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't really want to know."

He leaned in close to her. pressing his lips against her ear.  "I'm really bossy in bed."

A tremble went trhough her that he felt becasue he was sitting so close to her.

"Is that right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Bossy how?"

[...]

"I know what I want, and I know how to get it, but only after you get what you want."

 

Uh yeah.  so-hot
 

Hunter is all quiet, buttoned-up, fancy pants wearing and totally in control.  With the exception of his feelings for Megan, once he lets them loose, he does not back down where she is concerned. Megan needs someone to tell her she matters and give her encouragement to be who she really wants to be.  Can you imagine being told, "I really like you and I just want you to be you?  I'm not going to put up with the walls you've put up because I want you... no matter what." (In a non-stalkery way, of course)

I adore the family aspect that is prevalent in Ms. Force's novel's and the Abbott family is so completely fascinating.  Elmer and Lincoln play matchmaker once again, I just love those guys.

Who's next?  Ella and Gavin.  Ms. Force always manages to introduce a new couple and make you out of your mind and ready to read them immediately.  She dangles a new couple in front of you like bait on a hook.  Consider me HOOKED.

As always there are so many hilarious moments, Ms. Force never fails to make me laugh and inevitably, swoon.

Who was this guy??..When did Hunter have a character transplant??...I just didn't recognise this man as it certainly wasn't the Hunter we had encountered in the previous books of the series! Can't say that I liked Megan very much either and just didn't buy into their relationship :((

Still can't wait to read Ella's story :)

Auf diesen Teil war ich wieder mega gespannt weil Hunter - neben Colton - für mich der Interessanteste der Abbotts war. Dazu erschien Megan ja nicht so sympathisch in den letzten Teilen, deshalb war es umso spannender sie kennen zulernen und zu sehen wie sie tickt. Und ob sie der Abbotts würdig ist.

Hunter will Megan schon lange, hier ergibt sich jetzt die Chance ihr näherzukommen, die er natürlich direkt ergreift. Megan zeigt eine ganz andere Seite von sich, ist erstaunlich nett und süß, witzig aber vor allem verletzlich. Sie hat Angst Gefühle zuzulassen und die beiden lassen sich erstmal auf eine lockere Sache ein, ganz unverbindlich - und was für eine Nacht das ist.
Hunter der Buchhalter ist nämlich alles andere als langweilig. Er ist toll, er ist heiß und bossy und bleibt - neben Colton - mein Liebling. Obwohl ich auch Will und Nolan super finde.

Wie sie sich ihm ganz langsam öffnet, wie sich die Beziehung der beiden ganz langsam entwickelt, ohne dass ständig betont wird wo sie aktuell stehen, alles an den Beiden ist total authentisch.
Die beiden sind wohl mein Lieblingspaar bis jetzt.

Aber was ist los mit den Männern in Vermont?! Die sind sich alle immer so sicher, dass es die Eine ist und dann auch noch total geduldig, bis die Auserwählte erkennt, dass sie einfach zusammengehören und bereit ist.
Dazu war ich hier zum ersten Mal genervt von der Betonung wie perfekt alles ist.
Hat mich aber nur minimal gestört und gibt deshalb auch keinen Abzug.

Das Buch ist wieder vollgepackt mit Drama, Emotionen, Gefühl und lustig.
Der Bogen ist ähnlich wie beim letzten Teil, hat mich aber trotzdem gepackt und mitfiebern lassen.
Es ist toll, dass wir wieder viel von den Anderen mitbekommen. Manche Stories gehen weiter, Andere beginnen und entwickeln sich und machen Lust auf die nächsten Teile. Vor allem ist es endlich Zeit für Ella und Gavin. Deshalb lese ich auch gleich weiter.

Es ist doch immer wieder schön bei den Abbotts!

Another great installment to this wonderful series. The Abbot family has quickly become a new obsession of mine. So many amazing siblings still to read about. I just adore big and loud families.

I wasn't sure about this couple, since we have been hating Megan from the beginning. I was glad to be proven wrong. I actually ended liking her quite well, and I was able to sympathize with her pretty fast. It was easier to like her once we got to know her better. Hunter ended up actually being very mellow and caring. It was funny to see both roles getting reversed. I truly liked the match, for while one was way too caring, the other brought things more to a real plane. They truly were great together, and complimented each other perfectly.

Next book seems amazing, can't wait.

The covers look great! It's amazing how fast and greatly Marie Force has grown into one of the best authors in the genre. Way to go. I truly recommend this author.

Leider hat mir dieser Band der Reihe bisher am wenigsten gefallen. Ich mag die Protagonistin Megan leider gar nicht. Hunter dagegen ist mir sympathisch, aber leider auch irgendwie farblos. Die ganze Geschichte fand ich schon sehr over the top. Glücklicherweise konnten die Szenen mit Fred und Elmer die Sache retten ❤❤

Piper's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

A couple weeks ago DiDi, my road trip partner in crime, and I headed out to San Antonio for a weekend of fun with some of the other GP crew for Wild Wicked Weekend. Of course during our three and half hour drive we talked life and books! Oh, and of course we had our must stop at Bucee’s (It’s a Texas thing) moment.

While discussing books that we were reading and books we could not wait to come out, I said to DiDi, you know my review for Marie’s new Green Mountain book will be short, sweet and read like this…It is Marie Effing Force, the book is effing AWESOME, GET this EFFING book now and read it!

And I Love Her is book four in the Green Mountain series. I loved this series from book one and my love for these characters continues to grow more and more with each book. And I Love Her is Hunter Abbott’s story. You will fall head over heels with this sexy numbers man. Boy can this man make you swoon with his words!

Hunter Abbott is the oldest of the 10 Abbott children. He is the CFO of the family business and the responsible one. Hunter analyzes everything. But one thing he knows for sure are his feelings for the waitress at the local diner.

Megan Kane’s world turned upside down when she was teenager and her world is turning upside down again with the news that her sister and brother in law have decided to sale the diner and move to France. She has had a crush on Will Abbott for years, but when it is pointed out to her by Will that she is focusing on the wrong brother she starts to see Hunter in a whole new light.

I could not get enough of Hunter and Megan. They complement each other perfectly. They have their struggles, but one thing I love about this series is that the struggles this couple and the other couples from the previous books go through are real life struggles. You find yourself rooting for these characters and falling in love with them and with the town of Butler. There were times when I wanted to scream at Megan, and times I wanted to smack Hunter upside the head. To tell them to get their act together. There are so many wonderful and sweet moments between Hunter and Megan. Hunter knows what he wants and goes after it with all he has. I loved that Hunter saw that he could be responsible CFO Hunter, but still could let loose a little, not plan and analyze everything in his life. It was wonderful is see Megan learn to open up again and let love in. I felt a strong connection to Megan. I struggled right along with her as she learned to open her heart to Hunter and realize that everyone needs and deserves love and happiness. This story will have you laughing, sighing from Hunter’s sexiness and crying.

We also get to check in with the rest of the Abbott crew. Hannah and Nolan are expecting a baby. Will and Cameron get engaged with a little help from Fred the moose. Never thought a moose would make a proposal one of the sweetest proposals ever, but leave it to Marie to make it a perfect moment in the book. We get see a little more of Ella and Charley, which I enjoyed. Of course I am very much looking forward to Ella and Gavin’s story. I think Lincoln and Elmer are going to have a hard time getting these two on the same page and the road to happily ever after.

The Green Mountain series are romance stories written to perfection! Marie Force just has that something special in her writing that you cannot get enough of. With each book this series gets better. You just fall more in love with this family chapter by chapter, book by book. If you have not read Marie Force you truly are missing out on something special.

Happy Reading!!

For Megan Kane, finding out she is losing her job at the diner and her sister is a one-two punch and when Hunter Abbott finds her crying one night, well let’s just say that Megan finds out that Hunter is much more than a pretty face and stodgy executive. Hunter Abbott is used to ‘fixing’ things for his family. But falling for Megan is something he never anticipated but he wants to know this beauty much better and to show her that loving someone doesn’t mean they will leave her alone. Can Megan find a way tot rust Hunter with her heart?

I absolutely adore this series by author Marie Force. With a rich and diverse cast of characters to a setting that takes your breath away, Ms. Force delivers another wonderful addition in her Green Mountain series that will surely steal your heart as it did mine. The writing is tight, story flows smoothly and the characters are well written. The author is a wonderful storyteller and she delivers another stellar addition to her Green Mountain series with AND I LOVE HER.

AND I LOVE HER is a fun sexy tale that showcases Hunter Abbott, the oldest of the Abbott siblings and CFO of the Green Mountain Store and other Abbott holdings, Hunter is a sexy buttoned down accountant who finds his interest in Megan is not as one sided as he thinks. Hunter is a man who loves to fix things for his loved ones and when he finds Megan crying, well let’s just say this man is determined to help her see that life may throw curveballs at you but all it takes is a little risk to see just what lies ahead. He is a complex man who the author slowly reveals within the pages of AND I LOVE HER. The author does a great job in capturing this character’s vulnerabilities as well as his heart especially when it concerns Megan. I loved how he tried to keep things slow and showed Megan that he would risk it all just to make her happy. Megan is a heroine who is afraid to risk her heart to anyone, even Hunter. She has had too many people she loves leave her behind and she is afraid to love someone like Hunter. But Megan isn’t as cruel or closed off as she seems (especially when we first met her in the first book, All You Need is Love). I love Megan a lot. She is a character who had a lot happen to her and the author really explores her parent’s deaths and everything on how it affected Megan. The way this author incorporated it into the storyline had me feeling sorry for Megan a little. Here was a woman who is trying to just make it through the day, never letting herself dream of something more in life that is until Hunter comes along and opens her eyes to something so precious and real. The chemistry between these two is off the charts hot! The sex scenes are smoking hot and I had to fan myself a few times to cool down. I was amazed the book didn’t catch on fire from those pages.

What I loved even more was seeing some of the Abbott family as well as past couples again, seeing where they are going and finding out what is going on in their life after their happy ending story ended. I have to suggest that you read this series in order to get the full enjoyment of the Abbott family and the residents of Butler, Vermont. The author is fast becoming my go to for when I need a fun romance to escape into. If you enjoy your romance stories filled with captivating characters, you will really enjoy the Green Mountain Series, in my opinion. This author has a way of drawing the reader in with the first page and never letting them go, even after the last page is read. Now all I can ask the author is, when will book five be coming?

This is an objective review and not an endorsement.

I am a huge fan of the Green Mountain series, and the first books were one thrilling read. Overnight reads, to be honest. This one? Negative report.

This novel is hot from the start. Skip the part with getting to know the other person the romantic way. Or the cautious approach. Instead the smooth opposite. Compared to the other books in this series, for most of the time it was untypical. The dialogues are sometimes too intense and individual words did not fit into the overall picture.

Marie Force has largely maintained her sensitive style. And it was also wonderful to read how Hunter makes Megan understand what he wants from her and how he wants it. You get to know a side from him, I didn´t expect. And the psychological component which gave an explanation, why Megan reacted to Will for years and later then to Cameron the way she did in a previous novel, was understandable.

But the language between Megan and Hunter, mercilessly direct, open and honest to the point of hurt, that was not always nice and sometimes damn close to be set in a pure erotic novel. Not fitting for this romance series.

Megan lost all her grip years ago when an accident suddenly killed her parents and left her and her sister alone. Since then, she is terrified of living the life. Behaves as if there is no tomorrow, and treat all those who enjoy life to the fullest and sometimes take risks as if they are evil. Just do not show feelings (other than contempt and aggression) or let a person in on you. Hot sex yes please, a caring and loving partner no thanks. Sorry, but I just don´t like Megan.

No matter what she does, says or wants: Hunter understands, excuses, gives or reacts accordingly. The fashionably dressed head of the Abbott family business becomes a hungry animal in bed. Demanding absolute control between the sheets. In everyday life, he is wax in Megan´s hands, almost becoming a softie. This contrast between a correct accountant who always plans everything in detail, who becomes a researching, inexorable being when it comes to the woman he wants and loves, and the yielding man – is peculiar.

In all other Green Mountain novels, he has always been extremely shy of Megan and since the first page in this book, he goes to the top. In every way. That does not fit and takes much of the original charm inherent in the other books.

For the first time since I am reading this series, I was not inspired by it let alone an overnight read. I have clearly missed the charm for which Marie Force and this series is actually famous and popular.

Der vierte Teil war wieder richtig toll. Ich mag Hunter so gerne und er war immer der nüchterne Buchhalter, der total vernünftig, null spontan und sogar ein wenig spießig ist.
In dem Band hat er eine so krasse Wendung gemacht. Außerdem haben wir noch mehr über die anderen Geschwister erfahren, die wir bereits in den anderen Teilen kennengelernt haben. Wir erleben deren Geschichte parallel immer weiter und es macht so viel Spaß, die Familie weiter zu begleiten.
Außerdem wissen wir jetzt schon, wer quasi im fünften Band verkuppelt werden soll und dürfen gespannt sein.

War von diesem Band leider wirklich enttäuscht.
Ich hab nichts gegen kitschige Bücher, aber alles, wirklich alles was Hunter gesagt war so übertrieben kitschig das es sogar mit zu viel war 😖
Megan war mir schon in Band 1 der Reihe unsympathisch und das hat sich auch jetzt, da sie die Protagonistin war leider nicht geändert.

Was ich absolut nicht verstehen kann ist wie es Hunter so egal sein kann das sie jahrelang in seinen Bruder verliebt war. Das muss einem doch stören 🤔
Dann sind die ein paar Tage zusammen (aber er liebt sie natürlich schon ewig) und schon kommt seine Familie nur noch an zweiter Stelle und nur noch Megan ist wichtig 😳

Am Ende hat er noch einen Unfall und was sagt Megan? “Er hat es mir versprochen das er keinen Unfall haben wird”. Klar, er hat das natürlich mit Absicht gemacht um sie fertig zu machen 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Die Stellen wo wieder die ganze Familie Abbot vorkam war wie immer toll und ich habe mich gefreut wieder von Will und Cameron zu lesen.
Allgemein hat mir alles gefallen solange es nicht um die beiden Protagonisten ging 😄

"Schenk mir deine Träume", der vierte Teil der Green Mountain Reihe, war für mich bislang das schwächste Buch der Reihe.

Das lag zum einen daran, dass ich mit Hunter und Megan nicht so richtig warm geworden bin und den beiden gefühlt viel zu wenig Zeit im Buch eingeräumt wurde. Zum anderen hat es sich einfach viel viel zu schnell zwischen den beiden entwickelt und gerade von Megans Seite war das für mich nicht allzu glaubhaft, zumal sie bis vor kurzem noch in Will verliebt war.

Schön fand ich wieder mal, dass man auch noch jede Menge von den anderen Paaren erfährt und immer mal wieder was aus deren Perspektive erzählt wird. Hier haben sich jedoch ein wenig zu viel Raum eingenommen.

Insgesamt war die Geschichte wieder sehr unterhaltsam und ich kann von der Abbott Familie definitiv nicht genug bekommen.

Marie Force zählt nach den ersten drei Bänden der Green Mountain Saga bereits zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsautoren; nicht zuletzt weil in jedem einzelnen ihrer Bücher eine so heimelige Atmosphäre herrscht. Auch in Band 4 fühlte ich mich wieder restlos Zuhause; nur leider konnte mich die Liebesgeschichte von Megan und Hunter überhaupt nicht erreichen; und das obwohl sich Hunter zu meinem liebsten Abbott gemausert hat. Schade - denn so ist dieser Teil der für mich der bisher schwächste der Reihe. Was mich so störte und welche Probleme ich mit Megan hatte, erzähle ich euch, wie gewohnt, » hier « auf meinem Blog. Schaut also gerne mal vorbei. Viel Spaß ♥

And I Love Her is another heartwarming visit to Green Mountain and the Abbott family. Hunter Abbott and Megan Kane are both homegrown residents of Green Mountain. When Megan learns her sister is selling the diner and moving to France, her world seems to collapse. It won’t be long and she won’t have the one family member left in her daily life, nor will she have a job, or a reason to stay in Green Mountain.

With Will Abbott’s advise that she may have spent the last few years pining after the wrong Abbott brother, and knowing that Will is moving on with his life with Cameron, Megan can’t think of any reason to stay. Except for that wonder in the back of her mind about what exactly Will meant by his comment.

Hunter has known Megan was it for him, even when all she could see was his younger brother. He held out hope that one day she would see him instead, only now there’s a chance she will leave town before he gets a chance with her.

With some (expected) meddling from Hunter’s father and grandfather, a plan is hatched to keep Megan in town and give Hunter a chance to finally make his move.

Hunter has always been so sure of his feelings for Megan that it wasn’t hard to root for him from the very first pages of this book. Though their actual book only covers a relatively short period of time, his determination makes it feel like just the right pace. And watching the usually so precise, planned out Hunter make moves with little to no plan, embracing the spontaneity that he feels when he’s with Megan meant I often had a grin on my face while I was reading.

I love the dynamics among this family. From Elmer and Lincoln’s interference, to the siblings’ inability to stay out of each other’s lives, there are plenty of humorous moments interspersed with the emotional ones. As has been established in the series, there are glimpses of Ella’s heartache (which I hope will be the focus of the next novel) and bits and pieces of the siblings who have already found their matches.

While Hunter and Megan’s story didn’t feel as emotional as the previous Abbott sibling’s stories, it was no less a solid read. Hunter and Megan had such a different journey, with the only a few hurdles to maneuver rather than the more emotional and deep-seated hurdles faced by Hannah and Nolan, Will and Cameron, and Colton and Lucy.

✦BLOG TOUR, Review & Giveaway: And I Love Her (A Green Mountain Romance, Book 4) by Marie Force http://t.co/SJgJRGud0F

Rated: 4.5 Stars

REVIEW:
I loved this new addition in Marie Force’s Green Mountain Series. "And I Love Her" is the fouth book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. I recommend the entire series though. "And I Love Her" captured and held my attention from start to finish. It’s a fun and sexy love story that is well written with characters I loved. Because Hunter is the oldest of his 10 siblings he’s use to taking care of everyone. When Megan’s life was falling apart he showed up when she needed him. I loved them together. Their chemistry was off the charts and their love scenes burned up the pages. I highly recommend this book for romance lovers looking for a great love story! It’s a great book to curl up with and get lost in for a while.

First, can I just say I absolutely love Hunter Abbott?! My goodness! The man is all kinds of hot! I've been waiting for his and Meagan's story and when I read it I was not disappointed. Oh my Mr. GQ! He knows how to make a girl swoon. I loved that Meagan had put on her big girl panties and finally give her love to Hunter, whom has loved her for years, from afar. The banter between the Abbott siblings is always fun to read. Sure had some laugh out loud moments.

Can't wait to see what Elmer and Lincoln have up their sleeve for Ella and Gavin.

Another good one by Marie Force. Lincoln/dad and Elmer/granddad did a fine job of matchmaking once again. Hunter all out adored Meagan from the get go. The only thing that made me unhappy with this one is it ends at the 91% mark. I always want her bks to last far longer than they do. Elmer and Lincoln already have their heads together to cook up a matchmaking scheme to pair up Ella and Gavin for an HEA in the next bk. Happy reading!

I hated to give a Marie Force book 2 stars but I COULD NOT STAND the hero or the heroine in the book. Hunter was such a push-over and a little too soft in my opinion. As for Megan... ugh... don't even get me started on that bitch. She suffered from the "it's all about me" mentality. I still plan on reading the rest of the Green Mountain stories in the future but I could care less if I never heard about this couple again.
