Cute, classic Montana Daddy book in a new setting with one of the most lovable and easy going Daddies of the series so far. I burnt out on these books at the beginning of the year & took a hiatus, but this one was reminiscent of how I felt reading the first story. I’m glad I finished it; I’m most definitely back on my Montana Daddies craze. Thank you, Laylah!
