corbin22's review against another edition
3.5
This was difficult for me to rate. First off I really liked Tanner. He was such a sweetheart. When he was in, he was all in. I also liked Timberlyn. She went for what she wanted. I liked how Tanner was always encouraging her to follow her heart and dreams. There were definitely a lot of swoon worthy moments between the two of them. All this being said this book was kind of boring. It didn't catch my attention like the other books. Which is strange because after the epilogue and the bits we got from the previous book I was super invested but then it just sort of dragged on. I wouldn't say this was a bad book. Like I mentioned, there were many sweet parts, there were also many good parts with the family dynamic that I loved, as a whole it was just kind of a miss.

I am pretty positive that Tanner has taken the top spot as my favorite Shaw brother. He had me swooning over him from the moment he tipped his cowboy hat and Timberlynn felt the same damn way. This book had everything - romance, drama, humor. Every single character we’re introduced to is easy to love and now I want nothing more than to pack up and move to Montana to live on the Shaw ranch.

Good Enough is the sort of romance that will steal your heart. With incredible highs and lows, a swoon-worthy hero, and a family who are truly the ultimate definition of what a family should be. And those Shaw brothers are phenomenal and boy do they know how to love and love hard, and Tanner certainly showed that throughout this story.
But I have to say, I struggled with Timberlynn at times. Although I understood why she was the way she was having suffered childhood trauma, and seemingly being rejected by those closest to her. Yet, there was still something about her that didn't always sit right with me, particularly through the first half of the story, and I felt like there were moments when Tanner got a really raw deal.
Yet, that didn't take away my utter enjoyment of this book or the fact that this was a gorgeous story, full of love, hope and family. And that Ms Elliott really knows how to write emotional tales, that are full of depth and sublime dialogue.

Another amazing book by Kelly Elliott! I loved this one so much! I got sucked in right away! I didn’t even notice the time passing by until I finished this book! I loved Tanner and Timberlynn together!!! This book gave me all the feels. If you love small town, family driven series this book is a must! These books are all standalones but I personally think reading them in order would be best! I love how you get so much of the rest of the family, but not have it take away from Tanner and Timberlynn’s story! I hope someday we get a book for A grownup Blayze. I would absolutely recommend this book!
Received an arc for a honest review.

“You don’t have to hide your scars, you know. Open up to him, and I promise he’ll help you heal them.”
Timberlynn carries a lot of baggage and insecurities from her childhood and that makes her reluctant to even consider that Tanner is being genuine with his interest in her. Slowly, Timberlynn let’s down her walls and allows Tanner in and realizes the dream she’s been dreaming is only complete with Tanner by her side.

This is Book #3 in the Meet Me in Montana series. Loved this book. I need to read the first two books and the next one. I love books based in small towns and especially cowboys!! Timberlynn has had a lot of heart ache. Tanner was a playboy who couldn’t stop thinking about a woman he met at a wedding. Loved how Montana was described in this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I have already fell in love with the entire Shaw family, but Tanner Shaw completely stole my heart.
Tanner and his roping partner, Chance, needed a break from the rodeo circuit and decided to take an extended break home. Tanner is feeling a little lost when it comes to his life. His brothers have both found love and settled down, he missed the Shaw Ranch and just being near his family. This extended time gave him time to think about what he wanted to do with his future. Timberlynn is ready to get out of Atlanta and spend the holidays in Montana with her cousin and decide if it is the place she wants to start her business.
Tanner and Timberlynn first met at his brother and her cousin’s wedding. There was a connection and neither of them forgot about the other, even months later. When they find out they are going to be spending the holiday’s together at Shaw Ranch, they form a friendship and begin to spend more time together, however, the chemistry between them continues to brew and grow stronger.
I LOVE Tanner and Timber so much. Their chemistry is amazing. Their relationship has so many sweet moments and some steamy moments. Tanner is a sweet heart and you can see how caring he is. He is scared to put himself out there, but when it comes to Timber it just feels right. Timber also has some walls put up, she doesn’t let people in easily and given her history and past it makes sense why.
Blayze Shaw continues to steal some scenes throughout this story and gives his Uncle Tanner a run for his money, along with their family friend Dirk.
Good Enough is emotional, beautiful, full of many great family moments and full of love. A MUST READ!!!

Good Enough is the third book in the series and Tanner Shaw gets his turn at finding love. Taking some time off from roping, Tanner heads back to the ranch for Christmas. He has no idea that Kaylee’s cousin Timberlynn will also be visiting for the holidays. He hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her since Kaylee and Ty’s wedding. When he sees her standing in his parents' kitchen, everything changes for him.
I loved so many things about this book!

GOOD ENOUGH - Kelly Elliott
Meet me, and the characters of the third standalone instalment in the series with Good Enough, in Montana. Saddle on up for the story lasting longer than Tanner’s roping record, as we explore the budding romance between Tanner Shaw, and Timberlynn Holden.
If you like the slow-burn, small-town, friends-to-lovers, southern, cowboy/ranch hometown tropes to name a few, then Tanner & Timberlynn’s story is the one for you. A must-read for all romantics at heart who love all things Shaw brothers.
The time has come to get to know yet another Shaw brother, one whom we’ve been itching to read more about since his introduction in Brock’s story, Never Enough. Tanner Shaw, the roping brother of the trio, steps up to the plate of fate and stands eye-to-eye with the prospect of loving something other than his roping career. Timerlynn.
By now if you, like myself, have already read the other two standalones in the Meet me in Montana series, you be familiar with all three Shaw brothers. Namely, Brock and Ty with a bit of Tanner thrown in here and there. Good Enough sees us get an extra helping of the one who shall not be roped into love, and his journey to a place where he thought not possible for his heart to go. And it’s all thanks to Timberlynn, a Holden he will be holding onto longer than a roped steer.
Initially what drew me in to reading Good Enough—other than absolutely being besotted with the loveliest human on the planet, Kelly, and her books—was the allure of the nature of Tanner Shaw. We were teased with his introduction previously, and of course I like many others, wanted to know more about him and how he ticks. The mystery deepened as when Timberlynn was introduced into the story in Always Enough, Tanner became even more mysterious and I wanted to get my sleuth shoes on and investigate him even further. Seeing him change from what we had been teased with, to what we saw he COULD become, made me itch to read about him even more.
Refreshingly, the Good Enough’s main focus is taken away from the career of the Shaw brother, and encompasses the journey of two souls trying to find equal harmony in the Montana town that we have all come to know and love equal to, or even more than, previous towns in Texas introduced in other Kelly Elliott writes. The blend of interior and exterior factors around Tanner and Timberlynn has been written and executed flawlessly, without the overbearing nature of any main or sub-topic. Not an easy feat but as always, Kelly aces it with expert style. Making the wait for reading more in-depth about Tanner well worth the wait and twice as enjoyable.
Additionally and just as enjoyable, was how the personalities of the characters shone through more than I ever expected them to. When reading a book you can aways tell how a character is feeling via how the author conveys their emotions, but it is rare that you connect on such a level where you physically feel how the author has written those emotions. I felt this deeply here with Timberlynn in particular, connecting with her as if I was in her shoes and journeying along with her in her shoes. This is something I always admire about Kelly’s writing.
Each page turned (or even swiped!) made the admiration blossom even more until it was a lovely bouquet of sweet southern romance, mystery, and a will-they-won’t-they that will leave you rooting for your latest favourite fictional couple. As always, I could not put the book down until every last page was read. Unputdownable doesn’t even come close to describing the urge to read from cover to cover. It didn’t even enter my mind to put it down. Tanner and Timberlynn had me tantalised at every turn. You yourselves will discover the same when you pick up the rope, ready your steed and rope this romance read right onto your bookshelf.
It’s fair to say that as much as I—and thousands of others—love the good old-fashioned allure of many a small Texas town in other Kelly Elliott novels, Montana is quickly becoming the new Texas with its draw of equally attractive and captivating characters, charming towns, and everything in-between. Good Enough, like it’s book brothers before it, stands parallel in becoming a must-read of 2020 for both Kelly Elliott and new readers alike, to the genre and to southern romance in which you’ll be craving more of by the book’s end.
Good Enough won a new record in becoming one of my top ten of 2020, will it be yours?
Tempt yourself with Tanner and Timberlynn, and book a one way ride right to Montana on October 6th!

The third installment if the Meet Me in Montana companion series from Kelly Elliott was no slouch. Like the other books in the series there are heartfelt moments intertwined with humor and steamy moments. The characters have depth and you can't help but root for them and their relationship with each other. The family dynamics are a blast to see and just give all the warm fuzzy feelings one could want.
Good Enough is no exception to any of this. Tanner and Timberlynn were great characters and watching their relationship develop throughout their story was great. I loved that Tanner never gave up and did try his absolute hardest to understand Timberlynn. And I love how strong Timberlynn ended up being in not giving into her fears.
I am quite excited to read the last book in this series and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the following.
✔️ Strangers to Lovers
✔️ Forced Proximity
✔️ Small Town
✔️ Western/Ranch Life
✔️ First Person Dual POV
