4 STARS

Home to Montana is easy to fall for the characters. Does make you hungry for all the good food they talk about. It's a clean read.

Nick was trained by the army to be a chef. He was in Afghan when the kitchen was hit by enemies and he survived with rod and screws in his leg.
Greg really wants a dog and a dad. He wants to be with Nick and his dog.
Alisa is afraid that she will be hurt again when Nick leaves. Once she knows that he is a ex-con she is leary of him but she needs his help badly.
I grew to care about Nick,Alisa and Greg. wanted they to become a strong family.
Alisa was willing to help Nick with his problems once she understood them.
I enjoyed getting lost in the story and look forward to reading more from Charotte in the future.
I was given this ebook to read and in return asked to give honest reviews by Netgalley.
