Married In Montana (At The Altar Book 1)

This is the first Contemporary series by Kirsten Osbourne and she has another hit on her hands. I want the next book in the series now! But I will patiently wait because Kirsten has other series that she writes, which will keep me in books, because no matter what she writes, it's that good!

This is on the premise that a psychotherapist that believes she is a matchmaker because of the couples she put together in school... but she comes up with an idea of putting people together at the altar (hence, the title of the book) that are too busy, or have been unlucky in the dating scene. But what happens when you put together a willful high school English teacher from New York City and a Montana Rancher? That's where you come in... buy this book and get ready for tears and cheers, love and uncertainty, jealousy and hope. This book does not disappoint!

The author puts a lovely twist from times long ago with a Modern day Mail-order Bride what a way to start a series. Two people wanting the same things but finding it seems to be an issue. If you love mail-order brides you are going to love this modern day one with all the twist and turns of getting to know and living with someone you have never met.

For Savannah the men she dates only want one thing. She is saving herself for marriage as she finds it is hard to find a man who wants a relationship. She wants her mother to move on but knows she will not until she is married. She finds a matchmaker Dr. Simpson that promises her the world with only one catch she cannot meet or talk to her soon to be until they get married. Her mother thinks she is crazy why would someone do this. Her mind is set she puts forth her plans to marry and meet her soon to be husband.

For Scott who lives on a ranch in a small town in Montana finds there just isn’t any women to marry they are either to old, to young or already married. He wants a lady that he has things in common with, someone he can grow old with, have children with and will help on the ranch. He turns to matchmaker Dr. Simpson to make his dreams come true.

I love the meeting, the sparks, the getting to know each other. I totally loved their humor and the way they dealt with issues. Savannah is a little spitfire with a hot temper, I thought I would die laughing when she throw his food in his face. Poor Scott is totally clueless on how to romance a women I really didn’t think there were men like this but I guess there is. I laughed myself silly at his gifts and his friend telling him to go buy a book on romance. I just loved Jake and the way he told it like it was.

What took me by surprise was how fast Scott went from whatever you want to I want you to stay at home and take care of me. It didn’t take long for Savannah to show him the way it needed to be. I thought the author did an outstanding job on showing how hard it is for two stranger to live together and get along. How hard they worked at making a marriage work to find that they were really right for each other. I totally adore her mother her text was so funny, I enjoyed watching Scott and her work out in-law issues.

The author gives you wonderful characters that are believable with today issues. I just adored the supporting characters how they bought new life to the book with their words of wisdom. Humor can overcome just about anything as the author shows. I live my life with humor most days it is about the only way to get through life. The author had no trouble keeping my attention I totally enjoyed this read.

I did feel the booked moved a little fast at times but it did make a wonderful read. Scott turning all macho throw me I sure wasn’t expecting that. The author pulled me in from page one and hooked me. I read this all at one setting staying up late to finish it. She puts some wonderful twists that will keep you laughing. This is the first I have read of this author and can’t wait to read more of her work. Sign me up for the next in this series. I do believe the author has a hit on her hand at least in my book.
I received my copy exchange for an honest review.

Another excellent book by Kirsten Osbourne. I will wait patiently for the follow up on this series because I know that she has other series she is writing. I am never disappoint in any of her books.

Good premise but found actual characters a bit annoying. Female was whiney and main conflict was complaining about husband. At times felt like nails on the chalk board. Also not as clean as I expected and even that was anything but romantic.
