Take My Kiss

A Single Mom Small Town Romance (Willow Branch Mountain, Book 3)

A forced proximity stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a cowboy who’s ready to settle down and the single mom who’s used to doing everything alone, but reluctantly takes his help when a threat looms…I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet—and into his bed.

The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.

But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we’re forced into hiding.

Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.

And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us—but he does without hesitation.

It’s impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.

I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is—and it'd never work out.

Perfect for fans of:

Forced proximity Protective heroes Caretaking & Acts of Service

Lots of banter & angst Spicy open-door romances

All the yearning, tension, & HEA you crave.

Take My Kiss is book #3 in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one, and although you don’t have to listen to them in order, you’ll get a better listening experience if you do.

Single mom x golden retriever MMC

Take My Kiss is my favorite so far this series! Colton and Amelia’s story was full of so much heart and love.

💛Golden retriever MMC
💛Single mom
💛Forced proximity
💛Protective and emotional healing

Amelia finds herself in a tricky situation when she is being stalked. So her found family finds a new home for her and her kids to hide out in - the home of the man she had an amazing night with at a wedding. A man who hasn’t stopped thinking about her.

Colton is such an amazing MMC. His golden retriever vibes and the way he takes care of Amelia and the kids really makes him stand out. The way Amelia, Colton, and the kids really formed a family unit had me at an emotional high.

Meg Sylvan and Aaron Shedlock do such a great job with these characters! Meg is the epitome of a strong single mom with a hint of vulnerability, and Aaron’s strong and confident vibes really shown through as Colton.

Colton and Amelia

Love it! The narrators performance is perfection. I had to listen to it in one sitting. A year after Colton and Amelia meet at a wedding they are forced together when she is in need of a place to hide out with her kids. They have amazing chemistry and Amelia tries to fight it but Colt is so sweet, supportive, caring and before long all lines are crossed. This book is full of heat, angst, suspense, and twists I didn't see coming. Definitely a tear jerker and had me going through a range of emotions. I couldn't help but fall in love with Amelia, Colton, those adorable kids and all the wonderful family and friends. 10 out of 10 star must read or listen.

I was sent an advanced copy audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Colton Langston has my whole dang heart!

5⭐️ 3🌶️ 5🎧

Colton Langston has my whole dang heart! The way he cares for Amelia and the kids is amazing. He never has to be asked, he just does what needs to be done. He is the embodiment of "If he wanted to, he would" and my goodness does he want and he shows it! Amelia has been hurt in so many ways and came out stronger each time. The twist at the end had my jaw on the floor, literally not even a blip on the radar, straight took my feet out from under me! Thank goodness for found family, they all had Amelia and the kids and would stop at nothing to make sure they stay safe and happy.

I loved the glimpse we get into book 4, Take my Soul, and we are introduced to characters for a new series coming in 2027 and I couldn't be more excited for what’s to come in this universe!

This book is narrated by Meg Sylvan and Aaron Shedlock. They did an amazing job bringing these characters to life!

Absolutely delicious

I did not think it was possible, but I think Colton just might be a leading contender for best book boyfriend to ever exist within the pages/audio file. Seriously he is everything and then some.

As for the story it’s 😍 and 🥹 and 🌶️ and then HOLY PLOT TWIST BATMAN and then 😲🤯😯and then our guaranteed 💕.

Take My Kiss is one of the best cowboy romance audiobooks I’ve listened too this year. It was a comfort read wrapped in a WTF just happened kind of listen. Loved loved loved every second and the narrators did a fantastic job bringing everything to life. 👩‍🍳💋
