Midsummer Sweetheart Review

Midsummer Sweetheart (Heart of Montana) Katy Regnery

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review

4 STARS!!!

This is the first book that I have read from Katy Regnery. I had not read the first book in the Montana series, but that did not cause any confusion or make me not enjoy this book. Midsummer Sweetheart can be read as a standalone, but I can’t wait to read more from this series and from Katy.

There is a lot of drama right away in the book with Katrin being threatened by her ex-fiancé. He has been harassing and stalking her so she and her family decide that she should leave town. They want her to leave town without anyone knowing. Erik Lindstorm drops her off in her in her new town when he is on his way to his new job. The moment they meet there are sparks. However, Katrin isn’t ready for a romance and Erik is strongly against having the happily ever after, however he just can’t stop checking in on Katrin or staying away from her.

The reader learns about Erik and Katrin as Midsummer Sweethearts progresses. You learn about why each feels the way they do. Katrin knows that she loves Erik pretty quickly, but has to wait until he is ready to admit to himself how he feels. Erik can be a jerk and tries to find every reason there is to why he feels the way he does other than it being love.

I liked that the story line was a little different from other books out at the moment. I loved that they relationship evolved and didn’t happen immediately. I hate when they both fall in love the second they meet. I normally like more conversation with characters, but this book worked well with reading what was going on in the characters heads. It helped you understand what was going on with the character better.

Katy did a wonderful job developing the characters and allowing the reader to understand them and able to connect with them. The only reason I didn’t give this book a 5 star is because I would have like a little more conversation between the characters and a little more drama, but other than that it was great. The passion between the characters was great. It isn’t over the top.
