"ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴏᴜʀs, ᴜɴᴛɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴀsᴛ sᴛᴀʀ ғᴀʟʟs ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴀᴛ sᴋʏ.”
SWOON-WORTHY........need I say more!! Kristen's men are always top-notch in this category, and Bridger was no exception! This man knew what he wanted and wouldn't stop until he got the girl or, in his words, his "Kitten."
Dani had a traumatic childhood growing up, but the one constant she did have was the Blackwell family. More importantly, Bridger was her safe place, and now watching their friendship organically grow to lovers is beautiful and meant to be. The chemistry between these two is hot as hell, and the dirty talking fire chief is wow, just wow!
“ʙᴀʙʏ, ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ ɪ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ’ᴍ ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ ᴏғ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴍᴇ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ’ᴍ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜ.”
I love the growth between the two together, but watching Dani gain the strength and courage to stand up for herself and become the mama bear she needed to be for Bridger's sweet daughter Birdie was heartwarming. I loved all the family bonding between the Wilds, Blackwells, and Lexingtons, plus add in some of our faves from the With Me In Seattle series and it's perfection.

If you've read and loved The Wilds of Montana, then you'll definitely LOVEEE this new series, The Blackwells of Montana it has all the small town, single dad, brothers bestfriend, friends to lovers romance with a side of suspense we've come to love from Kristen Proby. Enjoy the trip back to Bitterroot Valley.
