I enjoyed this endearing and emotional small town story. I immediately connected with the two main characters and they had me hoping they would be able to work through their issues. This story is about fresh starts in life, after being hurt in the past and Montana makes the perfect backdrop for it. It’s a small town, so everyone knows your business and they like to give their opinions, whether you it want it or not.

Kelly Elliott takes the reader on an emotional journey with Brock and Lincoln. They are two lost souls afraid to open their hearts and take the chance of being hurt again. Lincoln is an interior designer and moves to Montana to get a fresh start. Lincoln and her best friend Kaylee are pleasantly surprised to discover such good looking guys in Montana.

Brock has dedicated his life to becoming the number one bull rider in the country. He has spent the last few years tormented with guilt because he has had to give up everything for his success. His life feels empty and he questions his decisions. Brock is an emotional mess and has a hard time dealing with all his demons.

This story is filled with longing and has great dynamics between the characters.
Lincoln and Brock are perfect for each other and meet at just the right time. They try to fight their attraction to each other, but can’t and I love watching them fall in love.

Review Kelly... she's done it again. Whenever she bring a new book out I just love them every damn time and I'm not even sorry lol.

Lincoln and Brock *swoon*.. My new favourite couple!!!

I now want to move to America just so I can watch these Bull Riders ♡

I loved Brock alot.. He's such an amazing father to Blayze. After what happens in his past he thinks he doesnt deserve to love again. But that all goes to hell when Lincoln shows up.

I loved Lincoln lots.. I loved their first meeting. Brock was a little bit of an arse to her but she certainly put him in his place. Also I loved how much love she had for Blayze.

I really do hope we get a book for Ty and Tanner because I just loved them both.

Well done again Kelly on another fantastic read

Bull riders and cowboys oh my oh my. This new series by Kelly Elliott is bull rider perfection.

Brock and Lincoln are perfect for each other. It took them time to get there but in the end they did and along the way learned valuable lessons about love and life. Throw in a sweet young boy into the story and bam, you've got an awesome small town romance going on.

Never Enough is the first book in a new series by author Kelly Elliott. I have to say I LOVED it. I felt like this story was everything about Kelly Elliott and her writing that I fell in love with 4-5 years ago! This was the classic cowboy/romance/realistic happily-ever-after story that Kelly writes SO WELL!!

I'm so excited to read more in this series and from Kelly. I hope she sticks to this same formula, because I felt like I was curled up with an old friend while reading this book.

The story of Lincoln and Brock. She is new in town, and looking forward to starting life on her own terms. He stays away from the town as much as possible, despite his young son living there and needing his father. He wants her, but can he get past the issues he has to have a future with Lincoln?

A great read.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.

What a romantic story. Through all the pain and suffering came a beautiful ending. The way the author intertwined all people in the book was very relatable.

The flames these two made on their first meet-cute, as they say, is oh so good. Lincoln had just bought the ranch that used to be owned by Brock and his former wife, Kaci. She had never met him during the sale because he is a famous bull rider in the PBR and is on tour.
His brother TY and parents handle the sale. It was a week later, and Ty brings Brock’s son with him, Blayze with him to deliver the pie his mother made for her. To welcome her as a neighbor. Brock gets home early and finds out Blayze is at the old ranch, so he heads over there.
When he sees him in the barn, he heads in. He catches sight of the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen with the greenest eyes ever also. If that wasn’t enough to piss him off lusting after a woman after what a mess, he made of his first marriage. Him overhearing her asking Blayze, “I bet you really miss your mom, huh?”
When he barks at her for pumping him for personal information it startles her so back, she falls on her rear. When she gets up, she comes up fighting. Not to mention she orders him off her land. When his brother comes out to check on the loud voices, he is not happy to see and hear Brock has pissed off Lincoln.
He made sure to tell him, wait till mama finds out. She’s already upset with your not getting off the tour to raise your son. Brock is obsessed with the rush he gets from riding bulls that he can’t stop because then he would have to face his past. Not to mention he would have to live a new normal.
See how this guilt-ridden single father finds love even though he doesn’t think he deserves it. I wish we got a better hint as to what happens to Ty, Dirk, and Kaylee. Hopefully, we will get a book two.
I give this: 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.

Never Enough by Kelly Elliott a five-star read that I will never get enough of. This is my first read by this author, but I know it won’t be the last, as it blew me away, this is number one in the Meet me in Montana series and I am eagerly awaiting number two. Kelly Elliott has become a one-click author for me. Lincoln Pratt is a great character she will make you fall in love with her so hard, at first, I didn’t love her so much, but by the end I was smitten. Her warmth just surprises you, the way she cares for her bestie Kaylee just makes you realise that you know she will be good for Brock even if he can’t see that. Brock of a wonder all of his own, they certainly grow somethin special in Montana, even when they are young like Blayze they win your heart. Some people will love this as it has cowboys and romance, the fact it has a great storyline just makes it more perfect.

This is a great small-town romance book ! I enjoyed it a lot!
Throw in a gruff, sexy professional bull riding cowboy, a ‚city-girl‘ who grew up in the south - so she knows her way around, smart, sassy, tough girl. And you get yourself a perfect story!!
But I think the most adorable character is the 5 year old son! Loved him!

Great story, kept me interested from the first to the last page, nice flow, awesome side characters, can’t wait for more books in this series!!

I kindly received an arc from the author/publisher through Netgalley and voluntarily left a review

Can you ever get enough of the cowboy, bull-riding romances? Elliott's newest novel leaves smoke on the pages. Readers are introduced to designer Lincoln, who has just moved to Montana in search of being a bit more independent from her parents, and Brock Shaw, an absolute workaholic, and single dad. Even though I am a fan of slow-burn romances, Elliott did a good enough job of leaving believable pauses and communication in this relationship between Lincoln and Brock. Their relationship was believable, and that really helped the romance leap off the page. This book is for anyone who enjoys romances between a damaged cowboy hoping to fall in love again and a rockstar woman hoping to give a little piece of her heart away. Also, who doesn't love hilarious and adorable five-year-olds? Brock's son, Blayze, might have been the reason this novel deserves five stars... and that's not a white lie ;) (anyone who reads will clearly understand this inside joke and one of my all-time favorite parts of the novel). Happy reading!

What do you get when you have a single father who is sexy Bull Rider and a sassy heroine who is looking for a new start?? You get Never Enough, Kelly Elliott’s first book in her newest Meet Me In Montana series.

This book was liking going back to the beginning with Kelly’s books. We got a small town romance and Kelly’s famous cowboy Hero. Although I will admit I had trouble warming up to Brock at first. He isn’t like Kelly’s first set of cowboy Heroes. But once I did start to connect with Brock he truly stole my heart.

What I loved about this book was that even though we got what we have to expect from a Kelly Elliott book, she still made this book feel fresh and original. I think that has to do with the Bull Riding storyline. I don’t think I have read any other book about bull riding. I found that aspect truly refreshing. I also felt Kelly did an amazing job of researching this subject. She wrote it in such detail that I felt like I was in this world with all these characters.

Like I said this book is the first book in her newest series. It is a standalone novel that will have unconnected characters for the following books. It is told in Dual POV. I loved the pace and flow of the book. I think the pace she took Brock and Lincoln worked for them. Yes, they even make comments to this moving quickly but for some reason it all worked!!

In this story we follow the love story of Brock and Lincoln. Brock is a single father who is a professional Bull Rider. After suffering a tragic loss in his past, he has shut his heart off to anyone new and lives only to be the best bull rider and provide the best life for his 5 year old son Blayze. Lincoln is a single woman who has recently moved from Atlanta to Hamilton, Montana to start a new life. She was feeling suffocated by her dad back in Atlanta and she wanted to prove she could do it on her own. So when Brock and Lincoln first meet to say fireworks shot off is an understatement, but so did tempers. It was not a friendly first meeting. Can Lincoln get Brock to break the walls around his heart?? Can Brock move on from his guilt and open his heart up again to Lincoln?? Can these two get their HEA?? Read this book to find out the answers.

I loved the secondary characters just as much as the main characters in this story. Kaylee, Ty, Tanner, Stella and Ty Sr. And most of all Blayze!!! That 5 year old little boy truly stole my heart. I love when Kelly writes young kids into her stories. I look forward to the other books in this series. I think Kaylee and Ty will have an interesting story ;)

If you love a story with a broken, sexy, single dad who is a bull rider and a sassy heroine who is also down to earth and the perfect match for the Hero, then give Kelly’s new book a try. I think you will fall in love with this story just like I did.

"Ever since I first met you, you've been a beautiful dream that plays alongside a nightmare."

Never Enough is the first book in the exciting new Meet Me in Montana Series by Kelly Elliott and follows the story of Lincoln & Brock. Brock lives and breathes bull riding. Not only is the power from riding the bull addictive, but it provides a much needed distraction from the guilt he lives with on a daily basis. Only being on the road takes its toll, especially for a single dad. His family wants him to settle down and be the father he needs to be, but in order to do that, Brock must be willing to let go of the past...Lincoln is a long ways from Atlanta and is hoping that Montana will provide her with the fresh start she so desperately needs. What she didn't plan on was meeting Brock. At first sight, Brock was everything she could ever want, but then he had to go and open his mouth. He's rude and abrasive and just an overall jerk. But, as Lincoln gets to know the Shaw Family, she'll quickly see that there is more to Brock than meets the eye. He's been through a lot and Lincoln terrifies him. Will Brock open his eyes and grab on to his second chance at love before it's too late??? There's only one way to find out....

Never Enough is a heartwarming and beautiful second chance romance. From the moment you meet Lincoln and Brock, you can just tell their story is going to be special. The push and pull between them is instant and consuming. Brock is broken and damaged and only bright light in his life is his son. Brock holds on to a lot of pain and guilt where his past involved and is doing the best that he can. His walls are sky high, but Lincoln might just be the one able to break down those walls. And speaking of Lincoln, Lincoln was such an amazing character. She loved big and with all of her heart. She was tough as nails and was just what Brock was missing from his life. Just being around Lincoln made Brock see what his life was missing. She brought him back to life without even trying. Together, these two were a match I just couldn't help but root for. I loved watching them trying to figure things out and just couldn't wait to see how their story would unfold.

Never Enough is well written and consuming. This book can easily be finished in a single sitting. I know I devoured it. This story is filled with so much heart and hits all the elements when it comes to small town romances. Never Enough truly is a sweet and addictive story. The characters will capture your heart and leave you screaming for more. Never Enough is the perfect start to the Meet Me in Montana Series and I for one can not wait to see where this series will go next!!

I just loved this book! First time reader for this author and I will definitely be reading more because it was such a delightful surprise. I wouldn’t normally go for a cowboy romance but heard good things about it in a post from one of my favourite authors, T. Gephart. Now I’m thinking just how fast can Kelly Elliott write and when can I be getting my hands on book #2 of the series? This book was touching and just perfect! Lincoln moves to Hamilton, Montana for a fresh start. She buys a beautiful old home sight unseen and moves to a small town to leave behind her family and her past. And when she arrives she meets the family who sold her the property, the Shaw’s. There’s 3 generations of Shaw men who are her neighbours but it’s Brock Shaw who’s got her intrigued. He spends time on the road as a bull rider and in between fixtures returns home to his parents, brother and young son Blayze. Lincoln doesn’t know the first thing about bull riding and doesn’t realise that he’s one of the top bull riders in the world and is part of the professional bull riding circuit. There’s a powerful connection between the two, yet for Brock this attraction is tinged with guilt. He’s not ready for a relationship because he still hasn’t come to terms with his previous one. With these two it’s like one step forward and two steps back. Who knows, maybe they can help piece each other back together, or maybe they’re just not good for each other at all. He knows Lincoln deserves more than he can currently give her and he’s not certain that he can let himself love again. Being with Lincoln and experiencing life and love again, although it’s undeniably scary for him, it makes him realise that everything about this is totally different than last time...

OH-MY-LAWD.....this story, this book, WOW.....it was EVERYTHING!! I definitely needed to let this one settle but even then, words will never express how much I LOVED this story! In true Kelly fashion she gives us a book that will monopolize your days and nights because the story will consume you from beginning to end. I love when a book has me so immersed that I don't realize I've come to the end until I try to swipe to the next page but there are none left, that is how you know you've just read a 5-Star Masterpiece!

I received a copy of Never Enough by Kelly Elliot from Net Gallery in exchange for an honest review.
Brock Shaw’s wife died a while ago and he is trying to ease the pain of her death by immersing himself in bull riding.
As a result, he has to be on the road often, which involves leaving his son in the care of his parents.
Lincoln Pratt is looking for a change in her life because she feels that being an interior decorator is not gratifying enough.
While in Montana, she meets Brock who may be the answer to what is missing in her life
A great romance

Kelly Elliott does it again. There is so much that can be said about Never Enough. From the first page I was enthralled with the lives of Brock and Lincoln. Honestly what is there not to love when a bull riding single dad and a interior designer on a path to follow her dreams collide.
Brock and Lincoln's story made me laugh and cry and all the feelings in between. Their story is written in a way that you can visualize it truly happening to someone and not just in a book. From the love and friendship between all the characters this book is hands down amazing.
I can't wait to get my hands on book 2 of this series. I definitely need more of the Shaw family in my life.

* Copy received from Montlake Romance and Net Galley for a honest review. All words are mine and mine alone.

Wow, what a heart warming story written by Kelly! 5 stars for this one!
Meet Lincoln, just relocated to Montana, after leaving Georgia in desperate need of a change, to get away from her overbearing father. She meets the Shaw family, she purchased a home from them and she couldn't wait to get inside it. When she meets Brock, she's instantly attracted to him.
Brock isn't so happy about Lincoln moving into his old home, and worse yet, his son Blayze is quite smitten with her! Brock is smitten as well, but how can he be, he doesn't deserve to find another woman to make him happy after losing his first wife. Will he get over his self imposed punishment and allow himself some sort of happiness?
I loved this story, the heartache, the struggles that Brock is going through, gave me all the feels. And Blayze will steal your heart! He's adorable! Grab this book asap!

Kelly is one of my favorite authors. She just reels you in with the characters. In this book we have Lincoln and Brock. Lincoln is looking to start a life away from her parents so she moves to Montana. Her father believes she can not succeed without his help. So to prove to him she moves away. Brock is a bull rider who has shut himself off to love. He has a son named Blayze. Brock was once married. Those memories keep him shut off from falling for anyone.
Lincoln moves to town and purchases Brock’s old home. Brock shows up one day and Lincoln catches his eye but he doesn’t do love or date. He is really mean and hateful to Lincoln. But he can’t get her out of his head. Can Brock let go of the past? Will he ever be able to fall in love? You must read this book. There will be other books in the series.
Kelly is a wonderful author. This book is based in Montana and has the country living. I don’t live in the country but this book sure makes me wish I did. Take a gamble, read this book and you will fall in love.

This is the way to start a new series! Laying the foundation of a series, the first book can sometimes get bogged down in details and bringing in supporting characters so you'll be sucked in and want their stories. But Kendra Elliott lays it all on the line with book 1 and it's a serious MUST READ!

Everyone lives a cowboy, but seriously, the Shaw brothers are the BEST! Reading this book I could vividly imagine the scenery, the people, and the feelings each carried. Brock is damaged, so he thinks. His wife died in a tragic way, his friendship suffered, his family suffered, and his son felt the brunt of it all. He can't give up the limelight, the adrenaline he gets on the back of a bull, no one understands.

Lincoln is escaping the controls of her father and makes a bold move to Hamilton, Montana. She is in love with her new home, the majesty of the mountains, and her especially her neighbors- the Shaws. ERRRTTT- wait, I meant everyone but Brock Shaw. Lincoln can't figure out Lincoln and why he seems to hate her. This man has some secrets and some heartbreak. Good thing Lincoln is drawn to him enough to dredge through the pain and figure out Brock Shaw. Brock doesn't like the feelings he has for Lincoln- it makes him feel guilty and vulnerable. Feelings he has never experienced and that is not such a good thing when you were once married.

Lincoln and Brock are fabulous together and hash out their romance in a spectacularly written book. I cannot wait for the rest of this series.
