The Wilds of Montana, Book 2

De: Kristen Proby

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, Connor Crais

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new Small Town, Friends to Lovers, Law Enforcement romance.

Summer Quinn’s life changed five years ago when she walked in on her boyfriend and her best friend in bed together. She silently left, ghosting both of them, and never looked back. She came to Bitterroot Valley, looking for a fresh start, and that’s exactly what she got.

After purchasing the local floral shop from her eccentric aunt and finding herself again in the absolute delight she brought to the community, Summer feels welcome and safe in her new home.

But things have started to happen. At first, she could blow it off as bad luck, or kids starting trouble. But then the bad luck turns into serious, life-threatening incidents that can’t be ignored.

Bitterroot Valley is Chase Wild’s town. His family settled the area almost a hundred and fifty years ago, and as a police officer, Chase takes pride in keeping his community safe. Sure, he’s had his eye on the gorgeous florist since she moved to town, but he’s kept his relationship with her strictly professional.

Now, someone’s trying to scare Summer. She claims she doesn’t know why, but Chase is determined to get to the bottom of it and drive the danger out of his town. As time passes, and the more he gets to know Summer, the harder it is to keep his hands off of the beautiful woman. With their connection growing, he’s falling in love with her and will do anything to keep her safe.

As Chase learns the truth of who is threatening Summer, will he be able to protect her, and will their love withstand the challenges ahead?

Chasing Wild is a standalone, contemporary romance novel, and book two in the picturesque Wilds of Montana series.

Yes!

Amazing narrators! Check
Intriguing storyline. Check!
Toe curling romance…check!
Enjoyed every minute of this. Loved how the author set several more characters for future stories.

Story was good

The storyline was great! The foul language almost had me just turning it off. It may not bother some people but for me, I’m like why. It doesn’t add to the story, it only makes me upset. Foul language does not make things look great. It does not make anyone sound great. To me, it only makes people look uneducated and ridiculous. It’s not needed in so many situations.

The story line, though, was great. The only thing that I have a hard time with (other than the language) is the fact that when the female narrator was reading stuff Chase was saying, it was so low, I couldn’t hear what was said.

Wilder Brothers series

The overall story is good. I had to suspend judgment a few times with a female character who was supposed to be strong and bad ass, yet allowing Chase to call her "Blondie" irked me to no end. I also tried to give Chase the benefit of the doubt as a cop trying to be sensitive, which as someone who has worked with cops, I think Connor Crais portrayed accurately even if I lost patience with the MML at times too.

I had to suspend judgment at the end with Evan as well. Like it was already established he was a dirt bag and not to be trusted, then the MFL lead goes off down the block with him!? I was expecting an abduction frankly. The dog Lily stole the show for me.

Connor Crais and Stella Hunter played off each other very well. Timing was spot on and Stella Hunter does male voices SO well! I love that Connor doesn't force a female voice. which actually is more effective.

There is open door sex scenese for anyone who is sensitive to that content.

TRIGGER WARNING for abuse and stalking.

Oh my a must listen

Book came out today on audible and I spent the whole day listening to it. So good cannot recommend enough ❤️❤️❤️

This book touched me on so many levels, I fell hard and fast for Chase, Summer is the girl I would love in my corner and I was captivated by the story Ms Proby wove but what took this book to the next level was catching up with some of my all time favourite characters from the first books I ever read by this author at Erin and Remington’s wedding. Loved everything about this book and I highly recommend you one click this gem. Can’t wait for my next visit to Bitterroot Valley, Montana.

Sweet and Spicy

I really loved this book! The story is hot and sexy and set in Montana with cowboys, a cop and horses..what more can you ask for?! Oh yes, it has Connor Crais and Stella Hunter narrating too.. that's the best part!!

a little tired but good story

I kept thinking this story was apart of a couple different series from other authors before I realized it wasn't. some of the names and story lines were very familiar from other books. this had its own things going for it too. I was able to see the twist coming from the beginning but it was still a good listen. loved this couple. the narrators were the best part.

Chase and Summer’s love story

Chase and Summer’s love story was filled with sweetness and warmth. I loved this story and everything that came with it. Chase has liked Summer since she first came to town. Summer has always been attracted to Chase but wasn’t ready for a relationship back then, but she is now. When she finally gets the courage to ask him out, the ball gets rolling and doesn’t stop. But somewhere lurking in the background is someone set on hurting or scaring Summer. They try to break into her house, spray paint it and even throw a rock through her window. When her flower shop catches on fire, it’s the last straw. Chase needs to figure out who the culprit is to save Summer before it’s too late.
Their relationship begins sweetly and continues sweetly. The narrators were right on target with this one. As I always say, Connor can do no wrong and this was no exception. He was Chase. Stella Hunter was fantastic as Summer. This duo always knocks it out of the park. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for a sweet read about love and respect.

Five Stars 🌟

I absolutely loved returning to Bitterroot Valley. Kristen Proby delivers a phenomenal second installment in this series and I could not be happier! The world building and character development keeps you hanging on every word, i just couldnt get enough!! Chase & Summer were perfect together and I loved every moment of their story. I cannot wait for Ryan's story next!!

What a way to bring the swoon to life!

The swoon is even greater in audio. That could be my review of this book. Because Stella and Connor reach that perfect mix of sweet, heartwarming, and sexy!

When Summer first came to Bitterroot Valley looking for a fresh start, Chase asked her out, but she shut him down. She wasn’t in the right headspace for a relationship. So they’ve remained friends… except it’s not enough for either of them.
I’m a huge Connor Crais fan, I think everyone knows this. And he knows how to bring both the sweet and the protective side that Chase has in spades, all while bringing the hotness factor.

This was my first Stella Hunter book! I loved Summer as a character and how she takes charge of her life and destiny, all while wearing her heart on her sleeve and being so helpful and open with others. Stella was the perfect Summer!

They’re both attracted to each other and it’s so seamless. From that very first date to the things he does for her so she knows he’s close. So she knows he cares. Even the way he dotes on her dog tells you he’s in for the long haul.

When Summer is in danger because someone in their small town is coming for her for reasons unknown, Chase is there. He brings her to his house. He wants her safe and protected, but most of all, he wants her with him. And you’ll love protective, growly Connor, ready to fight whoever it is for her just as much as you’ll love Stella’s spirit, ready to save herself and fight for what they have.

This book is super sweet and the sexy times are steamy, open, and honest in writing. In audio, they felt very real. The way Connor becomes Chase in his want for Summer, the way Stella becomes Summer when she owns her desire for him. So. Good.

You get to see all his brothers, including Rem from the previous book, and Connor really has a knack for doing very distinct voices. And Stella… her male voice is to die for, and the way she gave me every emotion got me all smiley.
A wonderful audiobook with narrators who brought the swoon to life.
