Good Enough by Kelly Elliott
4.0
The first two "Meet Me in Montana" books I absolutely loved, and this one was no different, except I had run into quite a few grammatical or plot errors that started to ruin the story for me.
The first issue I ran into was at the beginning, when Tanner returns home and Ty finds him in the barn. Ty tells Tanner how Stella thinks that Lincoln is having a girl because of how sick she is again. A few chapters later, Lincoln tells Timberlynn that Stella thinks she's having a boy because she isn't as sick this time. Just doesn't make sense.
Next, at the roping event at the very beginning, it is indicated that Tanner is on his horse Trigger and Chance is on his horse Banker. A few chapters later when they are back home, Tanner explains that he dropped off Chance at home with Chance's horses and his backup horse, Banker, but brought his main horse home with him. Then, back home, Tanner explains to someone else that he dropped off Hank (new name never mentioned?) with Banker and Miller, this time Banker is presumed to be Chance's horse and Hank is Tanner's backup. It just got very confusing to read.
After the snow storm, Tanner explains that Stella taught Timberlynn how to make all kinds of baked goods and casseroles and taught her how to make a homemade ragu, a recipe from Stella's friend. A few chapters later, Tanner and Timberlynn are living in the cabin by the lake and he makes lasagna. Timberlynn thinks it's amazing and he explains it's the sauce and she says she's never had a sauce that tastes that good. This doesn't make sense considering she's had it before and she's learned to make it, because she's talking like she's never heard of it.
On the same page, Tanner says "...don't tell Tina you're eating jar from a sauce." It wasn't played off as his error in saying it so I'm taking it as an error.
In all, I loved Timberlynn and Tanner's story and can't wait for the fourth book to come out, but I definitely think Kelly's proofreading and editing teams are letting her down!
