We've met Tess in the previous installment, she is a waiter at a local diner in Gardiner. Last we've seen of her she was oggeling Sam (the MC in the previous book). It was very cheap and in my opinion SO inappropriate even if everyone calls her "Fast Tess". I mean, acting provocative is one thing, playing suggestive with someone else's date is down right mean. Then in this installment we see a totally different Tess, I wasn't sure which one was "real". The one idoling Jenny from this one, or the one who can hit on Sam while he's in Jenny's company. I think most of my problem with her was how polarized her character was, not only between the two installments but also in the sense she cries over EVERYTHING in a blink of an eye, yet she feels nothing as she lets guys use her and it feels like she's even encouraging them. Even if it's just to prove herself right (that they only want to use her).
Lucas spent time in jail basically for defending his little sister. Yet when people meet an ex-con they don't bother themselves with too many questions, his (bad) reputation walks in front of him. Lucas is actually a great guy and when he sees how sweet Tess can be while no one is looking he sort of falls for her. Asking her on a date took courage. Tess was more than surprised Lucas was actually interested in HER and not her body / sex, she gave him rough times - not trusting him or believing the good he saw in her but in the end Lucas made her realize she's it for him and with tears in her eyes (per usual) she accepted.
The story was a bit too sugary for me and both MC were "misunderstood" and besides that nearly if not totally perfect. I needed more depth to the story even if it was just a short novella.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
Heart of Montana is a Contemporary Romance series by Katy Regnery (the
first books she published), all taking place in the sweet small town of
Gardiner. It mostly tells us of the Lindstrom family - Starting with
the youngest in the family - Jenny, and moving on to her three older
brothers. Besides these there are two more stories, one an almost
outside short novella (though one of the MCs DOES appear in the first
and last installments for a short part, liked her better in the last
one) and another of Paul who is almost a part of the Lindstrom family as
it is (looking like one too!).
I loved Gardiner, loved the way the town was described, wished I was there at Maggie's cafe enjoying a cup of coffee while reading these books :)
My absolute favorite was the last one of Nils and Maggie. But I also really enjoyed Jenny and Erik's books (1st and 3rd).
