Loved this one. Montana is my favorite of the three. I can relate to taking forever it seems to find out what you want to do. And Simon, the scarred miracle doctor. Just...sigh....

A quick read and a sweet story, even with all the dogs.

I really like this series. I started later in the series and am going back through the begining books. What I love about these books is you can pick them up in any order without being lost in translation. I love how each character in each book has a favorite part in the town that they show off. So every book you learn a new little special place of the town to make it more real to you.

This series have been a nice surprise. The Hendrix triplets are a lot of fun and Montana is my favourite. Ms. Mallery brings a smile to my face all the time. Can't wait to see what's going to happen with Nevada or Kent.

I keep wanting to say the best one yet but the next ones keep getting better. One to the next book.

I love this town. Nice place to 'visit'. I read this in one afternoon. Couldn't put it down. And I wish I had the next book to pick up right now. Great characters.

I am glad I gave Susan Mallery another chance. I read Only Mine not too long ago and found there was something missing. For some reason I decided to try the next book and I am glad I did. I really enjoyed Only Yours.

I liked Montana right from the start. From the moment Fluffy gets lose and wreaks havoc. She wants so much for Fluffy to be a therapy dog, even though he really isn't cut out for it. She really puts her insecurities on the dogs sometimes, but it is fine. They don't care. Montana is really sweet even if she doesn't have the most self esteem. She doesn't think she is anything special based on horrible past boyfriends.

When Fluffy gets loose he gets into the burn unit of the hospital where Montana finds him and runs into Simon for the first time. It is not good. He is a very strict black and white kind of guy. Very serious. He is not at all happy that Fluffy got into his burn ward. Even though things started off bad, Simon keeps getting stuck with Montana. I found him hilarious at first when he is trying to figure out why he is so attracted to her. Why he seems to have no control and keeps kissing her. It doesn't make sense to him and it was so much fun.

Montana knows he is moving on soon, but she can't help getting involved either. She knows he has issues, and really she is so sweet. She is the first person who really didn't see his scars after awhile. The first person to really try and help him reconcile his past and stop beating himself up for it. She really was a sweetheart.

Of course there were some bumps in the road. Some miscommunication, some things Simon had to work out and work through, some not so happy times, but everything works out in the end. I really liked Simon and Montana was just great for him. Overall a great book.

I enjoyed this book. It had a similar formula to Only Mine, girl falls in love with man that's leaving, but gets man to stay. But there was something about this one I enjoyed more.

I really enjoyed the therapy dogs that Montana works with and I really enjoyed Montana herself. If felt she was more easy to relate to as everyone has always felt there is a time in their lives when they're not lovable, where for Dakota she wasn't able to have children and not everyone experiences that.

I liked the addition of Simon's dark past. It was horrifying, but added a darker side to the story and was something that both characters dealt with in their own way.

I loved many of the smaller characters, such as Reese and Kalinda. She and Cece are just wonderful together!

There's only one thing that really bothered me, which was the Mayor Marsha asked Montana to get Simon to stay in Fool's Gold. That's kind of an odd thing to ask of someone that doesn't even really know the person. Maybe it's just me.

Also, one note for Susan!: When you're talking about the Maya, there's no "n" on the end. The only time "Mayan" is used is when you're talking about the language. I majored in anthropology in school and I learned that there. Just thought I'd add that little tidbit.

But I overall enjoyed the book and am looking forward to seeing what happens in Nevada's book!

I really enjoyed Montana's story. How the couple met was pure comic relief. I've very intrigued to see where Montana's mother Denise relationship goes with Max.

I really need to track down the first three books in this series, and I'm really looking forward to Dakota's book.

I have read all the Susan Mallery audiobooks on road trips. They are juicy, funny, and entertaining. No nerd brain needed, but highly addicting!!
