Christmas in Montana Romance #1
More Than a Tiara
Marisa Hiller abandoned her modeling career to nurse a broken heart in Montana, far from the photographer who ruined everything. Her family farm is now part of a CSA program teaching gardening and cooking to single moms, but when the coordinator begs her to represent the program in the Miss Snowflake Pageant, Marisa balks.
Jase Mackie has long regretted the hot accusations he'd flung at Marisa over two years before. God has forgiven him but hasn't answered his prayer to bring Marisa back into his life… until Jase finds himself out West as the official photographer for a beauty pageant, face to face with the woman he's never forgotten.
Can Jase make amends for past mistakes and offer Marisa not only a tiara, but a partner in her crusade to help needy children and families?
More Than a Tiara was available as part of Snowflake Tiara in 2014 and Home For Christmas multi-author box set in 2015. This is its first solo release.

More Than a Tiara is a quick read.
Look out, love triangle ahead. However, it is pretty obvious that Jase is not serious with Avalon and breaks it off pretty quickly once Marisa is back in the picture.

👑different type of story
I struggled a bit with the writing style. At times, the story seemed choppy. I think because this is a novella, the characters ended up seeming underdeveloped.

5.0 – A Happy Surprise
This book begins with a girl who discards her high-end modeling career and salary to run home to mamma and the family farm. She thinks that Montana is surely far enough away from her totally disappointing, high-flying photographer/boyfriend to be the perfect place to nurse her broken heart.
Having just finished a rather intense read, More Than a Tiara appeared to be an amusing, quick read, which after completing would be quickly forgotten.
Let me show how wrong my perceptions were and what I commend about this book.
My Negative Perceptions:
I am not a fan of books about glitzy, "Who’s Who" people, but the price was right and I like to give a new to me author a chance. When it comes to pageants, I have not watched any pageant since I was a little girl. Thirdly, I love the tranquility of a scenic, rustic countryside, but I am a city girl through and through. So, as you can see, this was an odd book pick for me. My expectations were low. All this book had to do was keep me entertained for a very short period. Let me state, this book did so much more, it delivered real people, living real lives, committed to living out their faith and loving their neighbor. What a Surprise, a Real Treat.
What I Enjoyed:
• Valerie Comer jumps into the story, introduces the key characters, presents the direction, and sets up various hiccups our hero and heroine must jump through. Some books take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to set the stage and grab your attention, Comer wastes no time. Chapter one presents the situation, the characters, and shows the direction the “problem” will go, which is a pageant that will help broaden the outreach for the new owners of “Grizzly Gulch Resort.” The resort had been around forever, but the new owners, the parents of Jase Mackie, professional photographer and “dream smasher” of Marisa Hiller need to re-introduce people to the resort. Helena’s 150th Birthday seems a great time and venue to increase exposure. The resort will host a beauty pageant as part of the birthday celebration, which hearkens back to the original owners of the resort, Calista. Calista is our heroine Marisa’s distant relative. Calista was the first winner of the Miss Snowflake Pageant back in 1889, when Montana became a state.
• Chapter two began the process of deconstructing my flawed opinions of pageants. Marisa is coordinating the donation of canning jars to a mother who has a hundred pounds of tomatoes. Hum, Marisa isn’t an empty-headed beauty, but a woman who came home, jumped in to help on the family farm, and creatively came up with a way to make the farm productive and help women and children of her near neighborhood with dreams of reaching the world. She really was a teacher, her heart aims to teach people how to feed themselves, by learning to grow, harvest, and preserve their food. At this point, Marisa’s antagonist, Avalon is presented. She is a real stinker.
• I liked seeing professionals being kind, caring, hardworking, reaching out to others by using their profession, such as Jase, sister Kristen, the Mackie’s, and Bob who is part of the CSA program. The contrast between those who focused on others and those who did not is striking. Their actions were substantive, not superficial.
• The biggest way this book won me over was in the natural way it presented faith and practice elements. In fact, the philosophy that Marisa worked under is one I espouse as a teacher and musician – "Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him for ever." It is not about us, but about Him.
◦ Marisa is careful about the motives behind her actions. She asks, “Was it wrong to do good? Or only if she benefited as well? But how could she do good if she avoided opportunities like this? What did God want of her?” A scripture reference comes to her mind, it is Micah 6:8. She is concerned that she retains humility while competing in a beauty pageant! That was awesome. In Chapter 16, Marisa prays and asks the Lord to give her humility, to help her be genuinely happy for the winner of the pageant. This is after all kinds of attacks have been made against her to keep her derailed and not a pageant winner.
◦ In another place she says, “I don’t get my confidence from what people think of me, but what God thinks.” Marisa is also reminded that God cares who wins the pageant. “He cares, not because of the [pageant] title, but what He wants to do through you because of it…” His Glory not ours.
◦ Near the end of the book, after Avalon has done her best to sideline Marisa, Marisa still reaches out to a crushed and feeling worthless Avalon. Avalon has been trying to win the pageant to prove her worthiness to her father. Marisa’s response, “The only way we can get lasting value is from God. He created us. He declared us beautiful. Good. Made in His image. When we accept His love for us, it changes everything.”
I highly recommend this book. I think it would be excellent for teens, for twenty-somethings, and for anyone struggling to find their worth in things and stuff. It is also a good reminder for all of us. Wonderful Christmas read and all year long. This was much more than a “pageant” book.

I've had this series sitting in my TBR list for a while. When one of my challenges for the month was to read a book with a pet on the front, I grabbed this one. I think dogs are the best pets.
What a unique and delightful story, Honestly, I am not surprised. I love Valerie Comer's books. Not only are they enjoyable reads, but I also feel I learn something each time I read one. I love her views on food and sustainable gardening. And here she focuses on hunger and food insecurity.. a very real issue in our world.. in the US.
Marisa and Jase have a history and it is not a good one. He has wanted to find her and apologize, but she has essentially disappeared. So imagine his surprise when he runs into her in his parents new home town. Add in both being involved in a community project / event together, matchmakers, old feelings threatening to surface, a jealous want-to-be girlfriend and you have a recipe for a fun emotional rollercoaster of a ride.

This was such a cute book. I really liked Valerie Comer's easy-to-read writing style, fun and developed characters, storyline that is a bit different from the books I've read so far, and the believable dialogue amongst the cast of characters. I enjoyed learning about the nuts and bolts of beauty pageants and organic farming. A strong element of faith and evangelism in the plot rounded out this enjoyable book.
Jase and Marisa are totally lovable! Their extended families are lovable, too! I love their town of Helena and wish I could live there ;)
Now I'm on the hunt for book #2 of the series to find out what happens to Marisa's friend Bren, the single mom who's learning to get back on her feet.
I received the book from the author. I was not required to give a favorable review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

More Than a Tiara is the first book I've read by Valerie Comer. Loved it! Marisa goes home to Montana with a broken heart. A fashion model now in the midst of helping her mom with the family's small farm.
Jase, photographer and the one that broke Marisa's heart is in Montana too. His family runs a lodge there. They meet again. She is persuaded to compete in the Miss Snowflake pageant to help promote the CSA program she and her moms farm are involved to help promote teaching gardening and cooking to single moms. Sparks fly on many fronts. Can these two find the love they once had?
Loved their devotion to their faith and God. Loved the twists and turns thanks to an ex girlfriend and her father of Jases. Loved the agricultural aspect since that was were my career was and I grew up in a faming community. Loved the Montana setting. I look forward to reading more of the books. Read, enjoy, blessings.

Marisa Hiller abandoned her modeling career and went to Montana, far from the photographer who ruined everything. Her family farm is now part of a CSA program teaching gardening and cooking to single moms, but when the coordinator begs her to represent the program in the Miss Snowflake Pageant, Marisa balks. Jase Mackie regrets offending Marisa. Then he finds himself as the official photographer for a beauty pageant, face to face with the woman he's never forgotten.
This was a nice story. Interesting characters with a good plot. I like the Christian & Christmas elements. It puts me in the mood for the season.

I really liked this book. The characters were relatable and likable.
Marisa is voluntold to represent the local CSA program in the Miss Snowflake Pageant that is being resurrected. Her several-times-great-grandmother had won the first pageant.
Unbeknown to her, her ex, Jase, is the official photographer and son of the family sponsoring the pageant.
Marisa and Jase are Christians, trying to live out Christian tenets even when it's hard. Their actions and reactions seemed realistic, and the author was kind enough to the reader to share the characters' thoughts, showing that the right thing didn't come easy to them.

I loved this story!
I love the way Valerie intertwines growing and eating homegrown food into her stories. It shows her own heart. This story included a desire to share knowledge with all the children of the world - how to grow, harvest, preserve their own food. What a wonderful way to help children who must fend for themselves! It gives them hope and character- building at the same time...planting seeds and watching them grow...a lot like the reality of life!

Charming, beautiful, quick pick me up
The perfect pallet - cleanser after something more intense,( like a thriller or medical text, in my case). This story is sweet and hits all the right notes - beauty, competition, family ties, history. The background is the Christmas season, but it's not all cotton candy and snowflakes- this story has substance as well. The important themes of charity, motives and trust drive the story. Bravo!!!

Super fun Christmas read
The characters are so very likable, and the Montana setting is perfect in this Christmas novella. I grew up watching Miss America every now and again with my cousins (who had more tv channels), and it was fun to revisit a that world on a smaller scale in “More Than a Tiara.”

A fun Christmas themed romance. I would have liked to see a prologue or something that showed Jase and Marisa at JFK or in Kenya to flesh out the backstory a bit more. I liked reading about the CSA and community garden plots. I am excited to see that book 2 focuses on Bren's story.

Despite retiring from modelling she enters a pageant to help children in need.
The photographer is one that she had a history with.
Can they put their differences aside?
God's Mercy and Grace shows strongly in this sweet romance

Loved it!
I put this book in my TBR pile early this year, waiting to read it at just the right time. I loved it! Valerie’s passion for Whole Foods is infused in her stories, but in a friendly way. I loved the characters, the platform and even the turnaround for the “villain.”

Love and snowflakes
I loved this book because it was such a powerful reminder that love, either for God and/or a special person, is so much more important than fame and success. Very well done!

Snowflake Queen
Marie's didn't really want to run for Snowflake Queen but so many people were pushing her to it. When she discovered that Jase was the official photographer, she almost backed out.

Really a 4-1\2
Good book, just not quite a 5. The writing seemed slow at times. The storyline was fun and the characters were lovable. The book was worth reading.

Great book

The casual racism and shaming single moms for becoming pregnant unmarried and their men leaving them overshadowed the cliché-y love story.
October 20, 2024
Terrific.
What a warm story of redemption and love. What also makes it special is that it's a Christian work of fiction.
I highly recommend it and you won't be disappointed.

Marisa enters the Miss Snowflake Pageant at the urging of the coordinator of the CSA.
I was impressed when Marisa said"I don't get my confidence from what people think of me but what God thinks. "To him I am always his cherished princess regardless of whether I win or lose in the eyes of society...It's worth more than a tiara."
This novella is about romance but at the same time it deals with your self worth and that the fact we need to ground ourselves in God to weather life's storms.
I enjoyed the characters, the setting and the story line.
A copy of this novella was given to me and I give my honest opinion..

What a cute story!
Marissa Hiller isn’t too happy to be part of the Miss Snowflake Pageant, especially when she discovers that Jase Mackie is the official photographer. . . after all, they have a past that, well, let’s face it, she’s never going to truly get over. Thankfully, the pageant is just the excuse Jase needs to confront her.
Avalon Penhaven is someone to be avoided at all costs, and although Marissa tries, Avalon is determined to get in her way — and inflict more than a few bruises. Boy, she burns me up! Marissa can’t seem to get far enough away from her. I found myself getting angry every time Avalon appeared. Can’t someone stop her!!!
I’ve probably said more than I should because now you know who to watch out for!
But if your interest has been peaked, as I hoped it would, it’s time to pick up a copy of More Than a Tiara and read it for yourself.
Will Jase choose Avalon over Marissa? You’ll have to read th story to find out. It’s a really good story and one I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
Happy Reading!

More Than a Tiara : A Christian Romance (Christmas in Montana Romance Book 1 )
By: Valerie Comer
More Than a Tiara is book one in Christmas in Montana Romance series. I really enjoyed this novella by Valerie Comer , she writes a good clean Christian romance. She grab me right at the start and did not let go till the end. When I started reading More Than a Tiara I did not want to put it down till the end. Marissa is a former runway model and Jase is a celebrated photographer. They knew each other in the past. Jase is trying to get Marissa to enter the Miss Snowflake Pageant. She does not like this idea. She is a very caring person. Will he get her to enter the pageant ? Has she still got what she once had? Can the relationship between Marissa and Jase be repaired?
I was given a copy of this book , but was not required to do a review.

I don't know why I waited so long to read this book! I've had it in my library as part of Snowflake Tiara for a while! I love Valerie Comer's writing style and the way many of her characters consider caring for the earth part of their responsibility as followers of Jesus. This book, like her others, is encouraging, challenging, and entertaining - a winning combination! The setting of a pageant next to a CSA farm was unique and fun as were the characters being a supermodel and photographer. I'm delighted to hear there is a sequel coming soon!

I love Jase and Marisa. Such a sweet contemporary romance. I love Ms. Comer's other books. Marisa is a professional model who cares about the environment, natural foods and healthy eating. She's on a mission to teach people how to garden (I wish she'd teach me. I try, but don't have a green thumb). Jase is a previous boyfriend, a professional photographer, who believed Marisa only gardens to make herself look better as a model. But when he discovers the truth is it too late to get her back? I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
October 5, 2016
Oh my what an emotional book. I absolutely loved this one. Absolutely delightful. Allowing others to judge us drives a lot of this story. Looking to God is the solution this story offers, and I sure do agree with that. Can one overcome the hurt of the past??? Read this and find out what takes place between Marisa and Jase. You will not be disappointed!!! I highly recommend this book. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
October 6, 2016
Marisa and Jase's story is truly remarkable. Marissa is a amazing person, the way she helps the families at her farm is wonderful. Watching Marissa and Jase try to rekindle there old relationship will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. You will feel God working throughout this whole book. I had the honor to review this book for the author.

Great new series!
This is a wonderful kick off story to Valerie's new series! A pretty easy light hearted read with just enough drama to stay interesting. It also addresses some social issues that need light shined on them, as is typical of Valerie's books Can't wait for the next. I will definitely pick it up.

I read this story when it was previously released as part of Snowflake Tiara. I love the contrasting elements of this story, Marisa is participating in a pageant one minute then getting her hands dirty in a gardening project to help single mothers and children the next. Faith, forgiveness, and healing are major themes in this Montana Christmas romance.
