After her motherβs tragic death, Dani Wilde had no choice but to abandon her dreams. She left Columbia University and returned to her familyβs Montana cherry farm, intent on being a maternal figure to her brothers. Now the kids are grown, and itβs finally her time to fly. Her sights are on New York City, and nothing will stop herβnot even an old flame with gorgeous green eyes.Celebrity photographer Ben Denton hasnβt seen Montana in yearsβand hasnβt spoken to Dani since βthat nightβ so long ago. When he discovers heβs a dad to a four-year-oldβand the childβs mother refuses to care for herβMontana and the Wilde farm spring to mind. The orchard is the only place thatβs ever felt like home, but will the warmth of the Wilde family be enough to help Ben figure out how to be a father?As the Wilde family gathers for the yearly cherry harvest and Dani struggles to figure out what she really wants in life, she discovers the shocking truth about her own mother.
This is definitely a book about relationships and what do you do when the foundation that youβve been living on for so long is ripped from you.
Dani had given up an Ivy League scholarship to come home and help raise her brothers after her mother was killed in a car accident. We meet her when she is in her early 30βs and she finally feels like that job is βdoneβ and she is getting ready to leave the family farm to resume her dreams.
In the month or so before Dani is ready to leave, she faces a lot of relationship challenges and a tough family meeting causes Dani to take a hard look at her life. The author does a wonderful job of letting us see Dani sort things out. We see her work on herself, her relationships with her father, her brothers, and her aunt. Some of these scenes are hard to see because there is a lot of emotion going on, but they are crucial to understanding what is going on with Dani.
Ben has been a longtime friend to Daniβs family, but hasnβt seen her in 10 years. He has come back for help learning to be a father to a 4 year old daughter he didnβt know he had. Dani is instrumental in helping him and Haley become a family and he has a front row seat to the issues Dani and her family are dealing with. We get to watch Ben grow and see how he and Haley develop as a team.
I loved watching Ben and Dani together. Their chemistry together is noticeable from the very first time they are in the room together and seeing how the move from resuming a friendship to becoming romantic is sweet and sad at the same time.
There is definitely a lot going on in Montana Cherries, but everything is set up so that nothing feels rushed or crowded. The different pieces of the story line are woven together so well that it just works. I enjoyed Dani and Benβs story, but now I want to know what happens to the other Wilde siblings.
