Here with Me

An Ex-Boyfriend's Dad, Small Town Romance (Sugarland Creek, Book 1)

De: Brooke Montgomery

Narrado por: Tor Thom, Maxine Mitchell

A forbidden age gap stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a daring horse trainer and her off-limits ex-boyfriend’s dad…

When we met at the rodeo, I only knew his first name.

Sparks ignited between us, and we spent an unforgettable night together.

It's not until the morning after when I recognize his last name do I realize who he is.

So I do what any rational woman would and make the walk of shame while he sleeps. It's not like I'll ever see him again or have to explain why I left.

But I'm proven wrong when he shows up at my family's ranch as the new farrier.

We can't be more than friends—for many reasons.

He's twice my age, workplace relationships are off-limits, and he moved back to rebuild a relationship with his son—the one I used to date.

Getting involved would ruin everything.

As we struggle between right and wrong, our connection deepens even though his traumatic past makes him doubt he deserves a second chance.

But it doesn't matter when everything's against us, including a rival who's out to get me and my ex who's determined to win me back.

After a riding trick goes wrong on his watch, he insists on taking care of me. Even though the odds are stacked against us, we keep the truth to ourselves.

But secrets don't stay hidden for long in a Southern small town.

Here With Me is book 1 in the Sugarland Creek series. Contains 20+ year age gap, ex-boyfriend's dad, workplace romance, opposites attract, and secret relationship vibes. Each book in this Southern, small town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after.

Noah & Fisher

Noah meets Fisher at the Rodeo and after one night together, she finds out Fisher is her ex-boyfriend's father and he is going to start working at her family's ranch. I absolutely loved them together, there was so much sexual tension between them. I loved the forbidden aspect of it and I can't wait for the next book.

I HIGHLY recommend the audio, the narrators did an amazing job. It was soooo good!!

Terrible Narration

I don’t know who lied and said narration was fabulous, but they lied. Narrators have terrible fake southern accents. I’m a southerner from South GA, and have traveled extensively through southern states. We don’t sound like that. It’s terrible! I’d rather them just use their own accent. Listening to a clearly poorly faked southern accent was wholly distracting. I’m not sure I’ll finish the book. I may just have to read it.

5 stars

Noah is a horse trainer and when she meets Fisher at a rodeo sparks fly. They have one amazing night together, but the next day Noah finds out Fisher is her ex's dad. They avoid eachother as much as possible, but Fisher gets hired to work at her family ranch.

This was so good! The audiobook is fantastic! Told in dual POV. I thought Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell captured Noah and Fisher's characters so well. I felt the pain and heartbreak they went through. What a great performance.

I thought Noah and Fisher had great chemistry. I loved how Fisher was very selfless and patient with Noah. I adored Noah. She was feisty and loved her and family and friends fiercely. I loved the family dynamic of the Hollis family too. Highly recommend the audio!

Loved it

I loved this book. It tugged every heart string and was so hard to put down. I loved the chemistry between Noah and Fisher and how they find their way to be together even when it might not be what others would say they should do. I loved how their relationship grew and oh man I don’t know what else to say without giving stuff away. This is a small town cowboy love story with lots of spice and a big family and I can’t wait for their stories. There are some trigger warnings that I would recommend checking out before reading. This is an amazing book with a beautiful love story and all the spice, but it also hits on some serious topics that might be hard for some. So be aware of that before reading.

The narrators were amazing. They did a great job bringing the story and characters to life. Loved it and would highly recommend.

Ex boyfriends dad romance

Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell did a great job bringing Noah and Fisher's relationship to life. the narrator's performance in the prologue of the book was great that's why I gave this book 5 stars because of the prologue it was so emotional. I shed a couple tears.

Okay, I LOVED This!! 🥰

Okay, I LOVED this story!! Which I didn’t think I would love it as much as I did; generally, I don’t love age-gap romances that much. Just not my thing, especially with THIS BIG of an age-gap, but Brooke Montgomery convinced me that it COULD work & it did!! 👍🏻🥰 I specifically liked that he, Fisher (the MMC) asked for Noah’s (the FMC) constant BEFORE doing anything with her!! That’s always a nice thing to see a guy doing! (Would also love an explanation as to WHY her name IS Noah, though, come to think about it, b/c I always assumed Noah to be a guy’s name . . . 🤔) (Also, not gonna lie: had to look up what a “farrier” does on a ranch since I didn’t know that ranch/horse term . . . 🙊😅) I also LOVED all the Taylor Swift references in it (& I’m hoping there’s more as the Series progresses, too)!! (I’m a HUGE Swiftie, as well; have been since 2006!! 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🤍🤎💙😍) The ONLY thing Brooke SHOULD’VE done was not capitalize the “R” in ‘reputation’ . . . 😉 But, anyway, now I’m VERY much looking forward to reading/listening to Magnolia & Tripp’s story in January (as well as the other brothers’ stories later on)!! I TRULY CANNOT wait; guys who step up to be fathers are my kryptonite in terms of Romances!! 🥹💗

amazing!!!!

Absolutely amazing! This book was phenomenal. The narrators really made this book amazing. I loved Noah and Fisher together.
The chemistry they had was really amazing. This was a heartbreaking story at several points but this author made it all worth it.
Very well done book. I can't wait for the rest of this series to come out!
5 stars all day long.

This series gets better and better!

I love Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom for this couple!!!

Noah is cheering one of her clients at a Rodeo when she meets this handsome man and spends the best night of her life with him. The next day, sneaking out, she finds out that he is her ex-boyfriend’s dad and ghosts him.

Fisher shows up to his first day of work at Sugarland Creek for his first day of work. Where he finally see Noah, after their awesome night. Noah tells him that she dated his son, but they can’t stay away from each other and see each other is secret, because Fisher came back home to fix his relationship with his son.

The sneaking around, the spice, and the suspense scenes ad sooo good! I absolutely loved this book, and can’t wait for the next one!

Ticked all my boxes

If you love small town romances with broken hero’s look no further than Fisher and Noah’s heartwarming and at times heartbreaking journey in Here With Me ( Sugarland Creek #1). Brooke Montgomery has shown why she is one of the best authors of small town romances with this one and if this book is anything to go by she will certainly have a hit series on her hands.
Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom did a wonderful bringing this book to life. They were spot on with the banter and the chemistry and very easy to listen to which made the narration perfect for this great journey.
I fell hard and fast for Fisher, the man trying to reconnect with his adult son only to find out he crossed the line with his son’s ex girlfriend Noah.
I adored the strong and sassy Noah who knows what she wants and normally gets it but what took this book to another level was the camaraderie and loyalty of this family. Ms Montgomery has created a family that is going to give us endless enjoyment and hours of escapism. I loved everything about this book, I was captivated by the witty banter, the sizzling chemistry and the love. A perfect start to a new series that left me excited for what’s to come.

New book boyfriend!!!

Wow just wow!!!!! If all age gape/ ex-boyfriends dad books are this good then I think I just found my new favorite genre!!

Absolutely worth the credit. I promise you’ll love it!!!
