Maybe it wasn't the smartest choice for me to start the series with the 6th book, but it is whatit is.

Despite the fact that this is a 6th book, it is easely readable as standalone.
But, there is one fact you should be warned about if you decide to read just this book: you won't get attached to characters and, because of that, you won't be so pleased with the story.
At least, that is what happened in my case.

The story follows Zach who is a complete control freak that had a terrible accident while m ...more

I always like grumpy man, especially an injured and vulnerable one. Zach was seriously pissed at everyone who try to come and comfort or help him in anyway. He was verbally abusive towards his assistant, Gabriella. I didn't read the previous books, but from what I heard he was an ass to her even before he was injured from a climbing accident.

Anyway, what really bugged me is the way this story executed with too many filler and everyone is talkin ...more

I'll Be There was an OK read.

I was really looking forward to reading Zach and Gabriella's story, my attention was peaked from the previous book Meant for You it was obvious they had some serious sexual tension going on and I was excited to read how these two hotheads would get together.

While the storyline was good and it held my interest I found myself not liking Zach very much. He was such an ass, some of the things he says to Gabriella were very hurtful and imo not easily forgiven or f ...more

I really just can't get enough of these Montgomery Brother stories so I'm a bit sad to see the series end. William is a match-making genius and clearly the most important character in each book. (Edited: This wasn’t the end...there’s more to come!)

Zach was frustrating as hell. For being a brilliant business man he was pretty dumb when it came to the obvious. The way he treated Gabriella for so long after the incident with her family was extreme for the situation and uncalled for. I just wanted ...more

While Samantha Chase has good writing skills, I thought the logic behind this story was a little flawed. With a simple effort to communicate instead of drawing important conclusions about someone he worked with, Zach could have avoided a lot of conflict and achieved a happy ending. Instead, he seemed to have anger management problems and didn't seem a good risk in the matrimonial pool to me. We're talking about accepting a rumor about a person he worked closely with for six years without giving ...more

Okay, flawed dark moment

This was an okay read, nothing spectacular. I liked the deep past between the romantic leads, mutual admiration spanning years. Good peripheral and family relationships. And I liked how it the author wrote about the male lead Zach overcoming a near-fatal fall from a mountain..his physical therapist was the most sensible one in the bunch! On the downside, the romance was too schizophrenic, some of the actions made no sense at all, and the dark moment was very very weak.

I have been waiting for this Montgomery brother to fall in love for quite some time and while I'm glad to finally get his story, I'm sad to see this series coming to an end.

A powerful and successful businessman, Zach Montgomery has always prided himself in being the best, being in control of his life and making his own rules. Zach is a go-getter and an overachiever, so his inability to rally quickly from his climbing accident and having to depend on others for help is a big blow to him and he's I have been waiting for this Montgomery brother to fall in love for quite some time and while I'm glad to finally get his story, I'm sad to see this series coming to an end.

A powerful and successful businessman, Zach Montgomery has always prided himself in being the best, being in control of his life and making his own rules. Zach is a go-getter and an overachiever, so his inability to rally quickly from his climbing accident and having to depend on others for help is a big blow to him and he's pretty much given up on himself. His family has just about had enough of his bad moods and general surliness and in a two-for-one deal conspires to manipulate him into fighting to get better and get him together with the woman he's been interested in for the last five years.

Gabriella Martine has been attracted to her boss for as long as she's worked for him but knows to keep things between them professional. Her resolve is about to be tested as she works closely with him while he recovers from his accident, but she'll do anything to keep him from losing his position as president of the company.

Zach was such a meanie (I know, grade school word, but that's the only one that kept flying through my mind) and I can understand how for such a confident person, having his body fail him could be the worst thing ever but he was just terrible. Gabrielle on the other hand, was a saint in my opinion, for taking the constant lashing out and coming back for more, but as their story unfolds it's clear that there is a lot more going on. Zach hates to be vulnerable at all but that Gabrielle has a front row seat makes it even worse and their unresolved personal issues are like an eight-hundred pound elephant in the middle of the room. The time alone was just what they needed for their relationship to flourish and I like that Zach was all in once he realized how he felt about Gabrielle, even though he was quick to bail when she needed him the most.

I know I wouldn't have stuck around for so long if I were in Gabrielle's shoes and that was my only gripe about this book. That and the fact that she forgave him so easily. I would have milked it for what it was worth and made him grovel really hard (yeah, I'm mean like that!). However, I loved this story and I think that it's fitting that Zach's road to happiness would be such a tumultuous one because of his personality. He had to hit rock bottom to get an appreciation for the prize he had in Gabrielle and his wonderful family.

I'LL BE THERE is all about resilience, healing, family and love and is guaranteed to elicit a lot of emotions from readers, from the feel-good pleasure and happiness to the less than pleasant unease and anger, as Zach and Gabrielle fight for their happy ending.

I’ll Be There is an intense story with at times, almost brutal dialogue from our so called hero. Hmmm… can you tell Zach isn’t exactly my favorite person in this continuation of The Montgomery Brothers series?

In many ways Zach is an adrenaline junkie. His need for adventure and to out do his most recent accomplishment is second only to his brutish, arrogant, pure jerk interactions with Gabriella. This time his climbing adventure didn’t go as planned and Zach is seriously injured, in fact he’s lucky to be alive. But his limited mobility, the long recovery time ahead of him has turned him from just your normal grumbly grouchy bear to one with an abscessed tooth – yeah, not pretty is it?

Gabriella is Zach’s personal assistant and she’s been in love with him for years now. But she won’t do anything about that, she will put up with his rudeness, his insinuations and his animosity because… she loves him, and at least she works with him. Now his family has asked her to go face the lion in his own personal den of pain and bitterness to try to bring him back from the edge or at least to what is normal attitude for him. Dealing with Zach in the office is one thing, but in his home on a more personal level is going to stretch Gabby’s nerves and determination to the limit.

Here’s the thing – Zach has had a crush on Gabby for a very long time. Because they work so closely an office romance really isn’t in the cards for him. Besides our hero has taken it upon himself to punish Gabby for some office gossip he’s picked up about a so called affair with someone she works with. And of course he has tarred and feathered her in his mind without ever getting to the truth. The one time he confronted her, she understandably got her back up and wouldn’t tell him a thing since they only work together, he doesn’t own her. So the girl stood up for herself and in Zach’s convoluted mind that equaled guilt. (and they say girls are drama queens)

Somehow these two, who obviously have deep emotional feelings for each other, have to get past the rhetoric and talk the truth to each other. This time during Zach’s recovery could be the perfect time for them to discover who the other person really is deep inside. If only Zach doesn’t blow his chance with another of his tantrums.

I’ll Be There deals with some serious issues in life. No one gets off scot free in the troubles department. But this is an engaging story, in spite of my personal reactions to Zach. He is no hero in my mind. But he could redeem himself. If you have followed the series this will be an enjoyable addition.

It’s rare to find a male matchmaker, but in I'll Be There (The Montgomery Brothers #6), Montgomery family patriarch and romantic William finds an interesting excuse to shake up the life of his nephew Zach.

So uncle William decides it’s time to wake Zach up with a tactic meant to build his confidence and heal, all the while getting the girl that is clearly perfect for him, his assistant Gabriella Martine.

Zach is in bad sorts as he struggles with recuperating from a terrible accident. So uncle William decides it’s time to wake Zach up with a tactic meant to build his confidence and heal, all the while getting the girl that is clearly perfect for him, his assistant Gabriella Martine. The idea is designed to get Zach back in the game and round out Zach’s shallow life.

When we first catch up with Zach, he’s not the most sympathetic character. He’s brooding and now angry at his uncles’ interference, not that he knows true intentions. But Chase creates characters that are multi-dimensional and although it took some time, but I found myself charmed by Zach. He’s sexy and at his core self assured, but we see him at a time where he is very vulnerable. His stubborn nature sways his attractiveness a bit, but he’s a force.

Gabriella on the other hand is a sympathetic and likable character from the go. Maybe it’s cause we know she’s put up with Zach for a long while, but it’s easy to understand her hesitation with Williams’ proposition. But Gabriella is not a girl who backs down from a challenge and Zach is someone she knows too well. It’s likely the only person who might get through to him is Gabriella.The one thing I loved about her is that she knows her limits, knows exactly what can and can’t hurt her. This self awareness makes her an interesting character to follow.

As for the story line and Zach and Gabriella’s relationship. The pace, the buildup to them, is steady and there are many moments of contention between them. Zach is seductive and expects to get his way but Gabriella keeps him working for it. I like the angst that we get (although I expected it sooner then it came), but it’s the kind where you wonder just HOW they will salvage their relationship. Their HEA is much needed and deserved. There’s just enough damage and heartbreak, but we also get to see our characters evolve and turn faults to strengths.

It’s not necessary to have read the previous books, but there are a few backstory items mentioned that give context to Zach’s life and Gabriellas’ role in it. And the secondary characters really do add a lot to the story. Zach’s sister Summer and her relationship with Gabriella gave me some of my favorite moments The sixth book in the Montgomery Family series, I’ll Be There is a strong 4 star read. Being my first read of Ms Chase’s work, I’m impressed by the family and look forward to when i can dive into book 1 and read the series in proper order.

Zach Montgomery is part of the wealthy and powerful Montgomery family and he's used to doing what he wants and living life however he sees fit. He has a high-powered job within the family business and is a risk taker in his personal life, too. And when he suffers a life threatening climbing injury, his newfound vulnerability makes him even more difficult.

His longtime assistant, Gabriella Martine, is used to difficult men and she's always been able to stick up for herself just fine. She always th Zach Montgomery is part of the wealthy and powerful Montgomery family and he's used to doing what he wants and living life however he sees fit. He has a high-powered job within the family business and is a risk taker in his personal life, too. And when he suffers a life threatening climbing injury, his newfound vulnerability makes him even more difficult.

His longtime assistant, Gabriella Martine, is used to difficult men and she's always been able to stick up for herself just fine. She always thought Zach gorgeous and charming but has always been careful to be professional around him. She's sure he doesn't feel the same attraction for her the way she does for him.

When Zach becomes more and more frustrated and dependent on others, his Uncle William, always the charming and meddling matchmaker, asks Gabriella to go to Zach's apartment to work with him until he's ready to come back to the office, to see if she can get through to him where no one else can. And she tries, she really does, but Zach is determined to be as difficult a jerk as possible. He's fired numerous therapists and after several days, Gabriella is close to her breaking point with him. Frankly, I found it a little tough to believe he'd turn himself around, too, but I guess you never know with guys, right?

So finally, the new physical therapist is working out, Zach is making progress in getting around and he begins to see Gabrielle in a new light. The attraction he's always felt for her, that he would never before admit, also comes to light and Gabriella is soon thrilled to take their relationship to a more intimate level.

Zach has a long way to go in becoming the kind of man that Gabriella could spend her life with and he's not even sure he can change that much. He tries, but can he get it right? As I said, I guess you just never know with guys, hmm?

This is number six in the Montgomery Brothers series and it's hot and sexy and frankly, I was glad Gabrielle was a strong woman, because as cute and take charge as Zach was, he needed to be put in his place if there was going to be a wonderful HEA!

With all that said I enjoyed Gabriella and Zachs story. It Starts off with Zach doing physical therapy and trying to get his life back after falling off a mountain that he was climbing. He has let himself go and is grumpier then ever. His assistant Gabriella is used to him being this way but one can only take so much.

I liked Zach but I thought he was more mean and running off at the mouth more then he was grumpy. Some of things he said were just uncalled for and if I was Gabriella I would have left him alone to fend for himself.

Gabriella has had feelings for Zach but she is his assistant and knows nothing could ever happen. When her past comes to the surface and truths are revealed its up to Zach to believe her.

One thing I loved about these two was there arguing. They do it a lot but that just adds to the attraction between them. They have worked together for 5 years and after office gossip Zach starts to treat Gabriella different. I enjoyed how the relationship between them wasn't rushed and they were still feeling it out.

Even though Zach was working on getting his strength back I liked how he didn't want to rush getting Gabriella in bed although I did think he rushed into the I love you part.

It was good catching up with Summer and Ethan's wedding and the other Montgomerys who are in and out of the whole story. They are funny and a real bunch of characters. They make you want to be in the family right along with them.

I think towards the end of the book when Gabriella finally stood up to her family was my favorite. It was long overdue and I really just wanted to clap!

This was a great read but again I would read the book before this one so you can see how Gabriella and Zach are before the accident and when he went missing. Enjoy! ...more

The characters and their journey set this book apart from the other books in the series. I'll Be There examines what happens when a driven businessman and athlete is severely injured in a sports- related accident. Zach's journey takes him from denial, recovery and finally acceptance as he comes to terms with the fact that he almost died. The author offers a realistic portrayal of a bitter, independent man who doesn't want assistance from anyone until he accepts his situation and chooses recovery over self-pity.

The characters of Zach and Gabriella are multi-faceted and they are very different from the other characters in the series. Although the couple is attracted to each other, their path to romance has several surprising detours. Zach is a perfectionist, he's headstrong and very independent. He is a successful businessman and he loves the challenge of extreme sports in his spare time. Gabrielle Martine is a no nonsense type of person. She's Zach's assistant and Gabrielle "gets" him. She has worked with Zach and understands him better than most of his family members. Faced with losing his position in his company or accepting Gabrielle's help, Zach chooses to work with Gabby. Samantha Chase has created a great heroine. Gabrielle’s past and her family life are brought to light during the story and it’s important for the reader to understand how Gabrielle's past has influenced her and plays a part in her choices.

Kudos to Samantha Chase for writing a well-paced look at the emotional and physical issues after a life threatening accident. Loved the mutual attraction between the characters and how it simmered slowly at the beginning of the novel. I'll Be There is a fabulous story of a determined man and the woman who loves him and has strength enough for both of them. I read this book in one day as I was invested in the characters and their story. And I am hoping to read another Montgomery book soon!

I rolled my eyes throughout; it was really bad compared to the other books in the series, and some of those were maybe 2-3 star quality. It did follow the same formula with the male/female dynamic and sequence of events (basically the same in every single book), but Zach in this was completely over-the-top verbally abusive to Gabriella to the point where she never should have forgiven him, especially after the THIRD time! He goes from being completely in love and wanting to marry her one moment to telling her to leave and that he didn't love her and accusing her of things he knew she had never done...he had known her for five years, she worked as his admin. For a few of those years he had been awful to her (for such a lame reason) and she put up with it when she should have quit! He had begged her to go back to him the second time and she reluctantly trusted him. For him to do it again after that was unforgivable. The reason given for his rash behavior was completely ridiculous! It's like he has a split personality, he just keeps doing the same thing to her over and over.

That's the thing, in every book, including the other series, there is the big breakup for a time, for such stupid reasons, but it's part of the formula. Forgivable for the most part in the other books, you know it's coming at some point, but not forgivable in this ridiculous book.

Let me start by saying this is the first book I've read by Samantha Chase. When I read the synopsis, I thought this would be right up my alley, and I was excited to get started.

For the first two-thirds of the story, I enjoyed the characters and their tempestuous interactions. It made for engaging reading, even when you wanted to smack some sense into them. Zach's character was absolutely spot-on when he was giving everyone a hard time, though his "revelation" seemed a bit forced. Gabriella was p ...more

If you haven't read the previous books, I certainly recommend that you do - if nothing else that it puts Zach in a very clear position in his family and workplace. The previous books deal with William Montgomery's meddling ways in his sons and nephews/niece's romantic lives. It is a fun dynamic which continues in a similar vein here. In other words, even more than a usual romance novel, we know that WM gets his way!
