Here With Me by Brooke Montgomery

4.0

---

Here With Me is the first book in the Sugarland Creek series. Small Town + Cowboy + Age Gap = YES PLEASE! I really enjoyed this story. I loved the horse trainer x former bull rider combo. The ex-boyfriend's dad situation was messy, but I love a good forbidden romance. Fisher and Noah were great together. They tried hard to fight their attraction to each other, but their chemistry was undeniable. Fisher deals with a lot of grief and blames himself for his family's unfortunate circumstances, but being with Noah helped heal him in a way. I felt for him and wanted to hug him. Fisher is super swoony, and I loved how he cared for Noah. He was all in with her and wouldn't leave her side. Noah is a feisty, smart, and fun go-getter. She knows what she wants and works hard for it. I loved the Hollis family and need more of them. Here With Me is an entertaining read with tension, fun banter, heat, suspense, and all the feels.

Narration:
Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom did a fantastic job narrating this story. Their performances were full of passion and emotion and captured my attention.
