Book Description:
With four Wilde babies already due in the coming weeks, the last thing Cord expects when he returns home is to discover one more is on the way . . . his.
His hometown of Birch Bay isn’t the respite Cord Wilde envisions when forced to take a mandatory vacation. Instead, he finds that thanks to one memorable weekend back in the spring, he now faces the same situation as his siblings, expecting a “bundle of joy.” But accidental pregnancy or not, that doesn’t mean Cord has to be a hands-on dad. He can uphold his responsibilities without upending his life. Plus, his narcissistic mother once taught him a very valuable lesson: never get mixed up with a woman who can take control of your emotions. And no one has ever threatened his legendary control quite like Maggie.
Sweet and sassy schoolteacher Maggie Crowder has made one big oops in her life, but she isn’t letting that bring her down. She just has to show hunky long-time crush Cord Wilde that their weekend together was more than a good time and an unexpected pregnancy. After all, she couldn’t be the only one who’d felt a connection, right? Only, Cord has a pretty big wall around his heart, and he isn’t letting anyone through. Will the lure of unconditional love, as well as the draw of finally returning home to Birch Bay, be enough to break through his last ounce of resistance?
Return to Wilde Orchard one final time and fall in love with the Wilde family all over again.

Thanks goes to the author for the complimentary copy of Montana Homecoming by Kim Law for the purpose of reading and reviewing prior to publication. My opinions are my own and no one has influenced them.
Montana Homecoming is the final book in Ms. Law’s The Wildes of Birch Bay, and captured me from the first page to the last. It’s an amazing book and touched me on a deeper level than any in this series since Dani’s story in the first book, Montana Cherries!
Maggie Crowder’s character appealed to me from her first appearance. She has quite a bit in her cup, including a huge secret that she needs to share and can put off no longer. She wants to have everything resolved before the birth of her unexpected surprise from a weekend encounter with the guy she’d crushed on for years. I loved her determination to move forward and do what is best for her child.
Cord Wilde is a truly tortured hero, my favorite kind! He grew up with a narcissistic mother who counted on him to “save” her, but as a sixteen-year-old, he believes he failed her. He refuses to ever let any woman control his emotions again. His reason for returning to Birch Bay is tormenting him, and when he learns his carefree weekend with Maggie had consequences, he’s willing to accept financial responsible, but that doesn’t mean he needs to be in the child’s life once he’s born.
If I hadn’t met Cord in the previous books, I might not have liked his character in the beginning, but since I had and knew part of his story, I understood his fears, so my heart ached for him. He fights the feelings he has for Maggie, and I could feel his confusion when guilt eats at him over his decision to stay away from her and any thought of being a hands-on father.
The romance between Maggie and Cord begins with them on opposite sides, but as they spend time with each other, the undeniable attraction cannot be ignored. Cord’s struggle to move beyond his fears makes their love story an emotional one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I really wanted them to find their way to lasting happiness. They both deserved the security of knowing they are loved unconditionally.
If you enjoy contemporary romance with plenty of deep emotions and compelling characters, then you will love Montana Homecoming as much as I did. While this can be read as a stand-alone novel, I highly recommend reading at least the first book in this series. This has been an amazing series and I loved spending time with the Wilde family and enchanting Birch Bay. Happy reading!
