Jamie Colter is a combat-hardened Marine who’s back in Glacier Creek recuperating from a mortar attack that left him with a busted leg and a serious case of cabin fever. He just wants to get back on his feet and rejoin his unit, until the one woman he’s never been able to forget walks back into his life. The last time she saw him, he was a scrawny teenager. Now he has just two weeks to make her see him as the only man who is perfect for her.

With her marriage in ruins, Rachel McCafferty returns to Glacier Creek to nurse her wounds and make a fresh start—one that doesn’t involve someone who will eventually abandon her, the way her ex-husband did. When Rachel catches sight of Jamie, she’s dumbstruck by his good looks 

and brash confidence. He’s no longer a boy—he’s a man, and when he makes it clear he’s hers for the taking, she finds herself rethinking all her rules about younger guys.

Actual Rating: 3.75 stars

A Hot Montana Summer is a fluffy and lighthearted romance with enough heart to make you swoon. I really enjoyed this one. The heroine of the story is recently divorced and finds herself having a summer fling with a younger man who is friends with her brother. The older woman/younger man is certainly a trope that I love- what a sexy little fantasy, yea? I also liked that the book is a friends to lovers small town romance (some of my other favorite tropes). I guess this one encompasses many! If you are looking for a book that you can get lost in for a few hours this is definitely the book to do it. Had I not been so damn busy I would have read this in under three hours. Sigh, don't you hate when life gets in the way of reading?!?!

I am going to leave this review short and sweet because that is exactly what this book is. If you need to know what it is about then read the synopsis as it breaks the book down pretty good. However, I will let you know what you can expect when you go into this one:

1. A small town romance (while I wish the author would have put a little more detail in the setting, you do get the vibes of small town).

2. A friends to lovers love story. When you read the first chapter/introduction to the story you will see the hero making a statement about how the heroine will be the one he marries despite their significant age difference at the time (he was 13 and she 19 I believe). These two have known each other their entire lives thanks to the friendship of her brother and the hero. 

3. An age gap trope. As I mentioned, there is an age gap between these two and the HEROINE is the older one! While it doesn't feel like a big difference when they are older, it it certainly something you notice when they were younger. 

4. A sweet and lighthearted read with a nice and believable romance.
