Weddings are typically and traditionally a time of joy and celebration at the joining of a couple in love and with great hope for the future. Our expectations for that shared love and hope are often reflected in customs connected with the physically wedding— the exchange of rings, the attire of the bridal party, the flowers, the cake and the toasts—all are chosen to reflect the anticipated great joy and hope for the happiness of the newly joined couple. And, for Charlotte Grey, certainly the arrangements had been made, her fiancé, Peter Simmons, a lawyer with political aspirations, made all the arrangements for the upcoming nuptials to impress and awe the population of Red River, Tennessee. The one individual who was not impressed or awed by the arrangements was Charlotte Grey, the intended bride. And, she had the black eye as evidence that the groom-to-be was not interested in her likes or dislikes.
And so, Charlotte ran, or rather flew to escape her controlling and abusive groom-to-be. And surprisingly her accomplice in her flight to freedom—away from Red River, Tennessee to Liberty, Utah was that last person she expected to ever see again, and certainly never expected to help her. Her accomplice in her escape from an abusive-husband-to-be was Lillian Harvey, the mother of her high school sweetheart, Eli, and the woman whom she thought would one day be her mother-in-law. And so, Lillian escorts her from one abusive man to a man whose heart she broke and whose trust she betrayed—Eli Harvey. And now, Charlotte is caught between her current fears and bad choices and her past fears and bad choices.
KC Crowne’s stories of the Mountain Men of Liberty, Utah, especially those peopled with the Brothers Harvey, are always full of interesting individuals dealing with the challenges that life and addressing the results that individuals' choices have put in their paths. Each tale is a standalone romance, but the plots allow the citizens of Liberty to pass through the tale, so that the reader often encounters friends and family encountered from other stories of Liberty.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for my honest review. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.
Ok I have to say this first...I need an epilogue or two. KC Crowne, I can't believe you ended the story there. It did end happily but I need more to feel complete.
Mountain Daddy's Fate is the second chance romance of Eli Harvey and Charlotte. They were high school sweethearts. After graduation, they moved to San Diego so Eli could complete his training with the Navy. While he was out at sea Charlotte broke up with him and ran home. She broke Eli, setting off him spiraling, not completely knowing what happened.
Thirteen years later Charlotte is planning on escaping from her fiancé before the wedding in a few days. He had been verbally keeping her down and then it led to a physical fight. Just by chance, Charlotte runs into Mrs. Harvey. Seeing Charlotte needs help Mrs. Harvey jumps in getting them both to Utah and to stay with Eli.
Peter, Charlotte's ex fiancé sets off trying to ruin her reputation both the personal one as well as the professional one. Eli and Charlotte are struggling with their emotions. Neither has stopped loving the other. Elia's brothers are worried he will end up in another dark place when Charlotte breaks his heart again. Charlotte also has a secret that has kept hidden from Eli. Will he hate her when he learns about it?
Charlotte is a strong woman. Sure she isn't perfect but she does know how to stand up for herself. Being with Eli, Charlotte seems to find her own voice that Peter quieted. Eli has such a wonderful heart. His ideas to help the town show just how much he cares about others. He also is willing to break his heart again to be there for Charlotte when she needs him.
All of the brother, their wives and kids are in the story. It is great to see how the families have grown. Mountain Daddy's Fate is part of a series, with each brother and some other men in Liberty getting their own book. This latest book in the Men of Liberty is my favorite. I recommend the book as it is full of romance, twists and mystery and it will rug on your heart strings.
We return to the town of Liberty for Eli’s story, but things don’t quite begin there. They take us on a detour to Red River, TN where he had roots to an first love Charlotte. Charlotte has just been through something many women in this world face every day and out of fear or hopelessness they don’t get out. She has been physically abused by her fiancé that she is about to marry. This man has power and is abusive in more ways than just physical and soon Charlotte is going to learn just that. With the help of an old family friend she doesn’t know she even has still (Eli’s mom), who still lives in Red River and happened to cross paths with her; convincing her how she knows all too well about men like Peter, she is able to escape. Charlotte has a secret from her past, the past she shared with Eli, she also has not seen him in over a dozen years; she doesn’t know if this is a good idea to be going to his home for help? Will he want her there? You can see that from the first moment that Charlotte and Eli are back in the same space that the chemistry they once shared is heating back up and they are fighting to resist. It is hard to imagine how two people stayed away from each other for so long. It can only be pure stubbornness on some level or is it fear of secrets they have? It is not long before the two of them fall into each other’s arms and things heat up for real this time. At the same time it doesn’t take long for Peter to find Charlotte either. What will Charlotte do? Will she fight back or hide forever? Peter seems to be out to ruin her in order to force her to return. In the meantime of Charlotte trying to find a way to share her first secret from so many years ago that led to her walking away she finds out that her and Eli have even more to talk about. Will Charlotte be able to get away from the clutches of a man who has been hurting her? Will he be punished for the things he has done? Is there a future for Charlotte and Eli? This is a must read to see all the exciting twists that you never expected.

This second chance at love romance offers plenty of sweet moments, tender reconnection and intriguing suspense. The characters are wonderfully relatable and easily drew me into their story. Eli and Charlotte were high school sweethearts and then young lovers when she left him thirteen years ago. Both were heartbroken and unable to forget the other or the indelible impression their love left on their hearts. Now she is on the run and in need of protection from her abusive and manipulative ex. A chance encounter with his mother has somehow led to her being ensconced in Eli’s home and under his protection in Liberty, Utah, far away from her home in Tennessee. Much to his brothers’ dismay and their objections, Eli has stepped into the role of her protector, unable and unwilling to turn her away. Even though her leaving him all those years ago sent him on a path of self-destruction which took him years to escape, his heart still yearns for her. It doesn’t take long for them to give into the desires that have been simmering below the surface, though both realize afterwards that it was a mistake to do so. Nothing has been resolved between them, and she is still reeling from her broken engagement to her nasty ex. Eli and Charlotte agree to keep things platonic between them as they investigate incidents and notices defaming her character and implicating her in all manner of unsavoury things. But their hearts and attraction will not be denied even as secrets from the past are revealed and their future together is threatened. Will they get their second chance at a happily ever after?

Wow this book was amazing, I loved all the characters from the this entire series so far and being book 11 I cannot wait to read the book 12 Declan’s story. Charlotte Grey has loved her high school sweetheart Elijah Harvey (Eli) and he has for her to and every thing they did it was together and so when Eli joined the navy they moved to San Francisco and it ended badly. Now on the run from an abusive ex fiancé Peter Simmons after he left her with a black eye over wedding stuff she calls it all off and it doesn’t go down well with Peter and he sets about ruining her career. Her high school sweethearts mother takes her to Utah where Eli now lives and hopes that they can rekindle there love for each other and also he can protect her with his life. When your mother calls and said she is bring someone home that needs his help she never said who it was and at that moment when she walked through his door he new there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her because he still loved her with all his heart. To say his brothers are worried is an understatement they where there when he fell apart before and they don’t want it to happen again. Can two sweethearts get a second chance at love with everything that happened years ago and what about the man she was about to marry does she have feelings for him and who now is out to destroy her if she doesn’t come back to him. Feelings are super charged in this book and miss understandings and lack of communication isn’t helping either so can they get it all together to have a future they both want.

Continuation of the series Mountain Men of Liberty book eleven Charlotte and Eli’s story.

So Eli is shocked to see Charlotte. It doesn’t take long at all and they discover they both still have deep feelings. This story runs you through the emotions roller coaster with love, hate, betrayal, disappointment, cheating, loss of life, physical and mental abuse, heartbreak, corruption and careers and reputations on the line. The characters are very good together and their chemistry doesn’t take a break. I do have to say wasn’t a huge fan of the abrupt ending just thought there should have been MORE. I absolutely love this entire series. One of my favorite authors. I am looking forward to the next book. I received an Advance Reader's Copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest thoughts and opinions.
A fantastic read Charlotte couldn’t believe that her fiancé had punched her and left her with a blackeye a week before their wedding. She knew she had to get out and leave but she knew that Adam was a very powerful man. She had to think, she just didn’t have the time when she bumped into her exes mum she persuaded her to leave and go to Utah and stay with her sons. They would protect her. But that meant seeing Eli again. And when she saw him all those feelings came back and all the hurt of why she left him back when they were so young. Eli had thankfully be on the straight and narrow for the last year. He had never got over losing Charlotte and tend to drink and partying to hide his feelings. It got to the point where he just didn’t remember what he done the night before and he knew he had to stop so one year on and he was in a good place. And then his mother bought home Charlotte who had a blackeye and it left him with a feeling of wanting to hurt who ever had hurt her. Could you keep her safe and keep his hands off her?? This is a fantastic read the storyline is brilliant and there is just so much going on that you don’t know which way is up. Her ex is vile and Charlotte and Eli work together to get her life back. I really enjoyed their connection it just seem to be so electric. I could read this book over and over again.

A woman, never needs to sit still and take anything, except her time. Charlotte was nursing a black and on an excursion to hide the damage. Peter, her fiancee was a powerful man, and not afraid to use his power. He was going places and using their wedding as a networking opportunity. He didn't like when Char pushed back. She ran into her ex boyfriend, Eli's Mom. She offered Char protection by her boys, Graham, Sam, Mason and Eli. Char was meeting her sister, Alexis and her friend Luna who came to town early, to spend time with Char. Alexis was ready to confront the problem. Char decided she needed to be strategic and plan her exit. She was reluctant to take the easier way out and run home where Eli was living. When they were younger, she and Eli were a sure thing. Then shesuffered a tragedy and abruptly left, with no explanation. Eli and his brothers only had his house left to finish and their Mother's of course. Char decided to accept Mom's help and return to Utah. Eli's Mom stayed with him when she visited. This time, she said she would bring a 'guest'. Char was a big surprise, a welcome one, but a surprise. Will Charlotte reveal her secrets? Will Eli forgive her? Does Peter find Charlotte? Will Eli go after what he wants? Is Charlotte ready to stop being Peter's victim? Will Peter look for his 'possession'? Interesting twists, turns and more secrets. Miscommunications add to the confustions. Nice story.

No she should have realized she that Mrs. Harvey could see right through her flimsy story. And that It had been the her charming fiance whom left that darn bruise and not a door or anything else. Charlotte knew her little sister had a volatile temper and trying to keep her from running off was no easy task but she needed her to understand she'd had some tough choices to make and very little time. To say my mother dropped a huge surprise in my lap; was the understatement of the year. She said she was bringing a plus one with her not once did she ever mention it was one of my old girlfriends. But the moment I really looked at her I understand why because my mother has a big heart. Unfortunately my now ex-fiance is showing more of his true colors and he's out to ruin my good name and destroy my business that I've built from the ground up but what really hurts Is all the fair weather friends. We had an interesting history together Charlotte and I shared many firsts an being young and maybe on the dumb side we just fell apart. I know my brothers are really concerned that I'll do something stupid but the fact I'm oozing male hormones and she's quietly responding to it yeah we're on a collision course to horizontal land. However eventually will needed to deal with the issues that broke us if we're ever going to have a chance at an even better future.

Oh and let's not forget that little bundle of joy that Charlotte and Eli find themselves having to deal with also before this book is over.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Charlotte and Eli were high school sweethearts and after 13 years of being apart, when tragedy strikes he is there for her. Even after all the pain she caused Eli he couldn’t not protect her when she needed him. Charlotte was engaged to Peter and was getting married in a week, but then his true colors can to light because she wanted one thing only in the wedding since he controlled everything else. So although she didn’t want anyone knowing until she had money to escape it was inevitable when lol sis comes to town and wants to see her before the wedding and go dress shopping. Another, finds out about the abuse first and makes a way for Charlotte to get away if she chooses. Mrs Harvey was a life saver and got her away but things don’t fly over smoothly and repercussions come. So now that Eli is helping Charlotte, bc his mother set it up, how will these two deal with feelings that were never properly dealt with??? With reputations, Careers, corruption, betrayals, heartbreak, and new and old feelings on the line, what will come of this journey??? It was an epic emotional journey that I wasn’t ready to see end!!!!

Mrs. Harvey was back in Tennessee when she ran into Eli's girlfriend from high school. Mrs. Harvey was the last person Charlotte wanted to run into. She just wanted to get into the local CVS and get some makeup to cover the black eye her fiance gave her and meet her sister for lunch. Instead Mrs. Harvey offered to help her get away by taking her to Liberty, Utah where her sons live, and they would even be able to protect her. She ended up going there but needless to say the boys were all surprised to see that their mother had showed up with Charlotte, but she did not know the true extent of her leaving Eli had caused him. With the other three brothers married and with families, it left Eli to provide housing and most of the protection. It immediately brought back all of the old feelings they had for each other. Piece by piece everything was coming out of any she left. They had a new threat to fight now with her ex back in Tennessee. He was trying to wreck her character and career. What would be next? There was lots of drama and intrigue to keep you engaged.

Every book in this series is a stand-alone but reading them in order helps with the brothers stories. This is Eli’s story. Charlotte and Eli Harvey were high school sweethearts in TN and when he joined the service, she followed him to Ca. While he was away she left him breaking his heart. 13 years later she supposed to marry Peter in a week, who she has been with for over 9 years. A argument with him over flowers ends when he punches her and leaves a black eye. She runs into Eli’s mother while buying coverup and his mother instantly tells her she will help her get away from her powerful, controlling dangerous ex and brings her to Liberty, UT where her sons live. Like the rest of this series the Harvey boys use their security business background to band together to protect her from her ex and his plan to ruin her not only emotionally, but professionally through lies, manipulation and having the local sheriff in his pocket. Charlotte and Eli never stopped loving each other but Charlotte needs to come clean with why she really left and pray it doesn’t end their reunion before it starts.

This was an incredible story with drama, intrigue, and romance. Charlotte got into a fight with her fiance one night and he beat her for it. He has been manipulating her for years and this was the last straw. She ends up going to live with her ex-boyfriend, Eli, who is working in security and protection. She left him because of a certain incident 13 years ago and it is apparent that they both still harbor feelings for each other. Lots of drama enfold as her ex-fiance tries to manipulate her into coming back and marrying him and her trying to figure out if she wants to return to Eli. It is an amazing story with plenty of plot and plenty of emotional scenes. I could really connect to the characters and understand how they felt about certain situations. I would recommend this story and will definitely check out more from this author.

I loved this book, this storyline had me gripped from the start. Charlotte flees her upcoming wedding, heading straight towards her ex boyfriend for protection. Whilst there, she doesn’t plan on old feelings resurrecting like never before. Eli however has never gotten over Charlotte and after spending years trying to sort his life, he doesn’t think he can take a chance with her again. What he doesn’t know however is that Charlotte has been hiding a secret for all these years. I loved all the characters in this book, they both deserved happiness after everything they had went through. With lots of suspense, drama, heartbreak and love, with a beautiful happy ever after, it is such a fantastic read!

This is part of the Mountain Men of Liberty series - there’s 12 books total, it doesn’t say which one this is so I can’t say. I’m not a big ‘mountain man’ fan but I do enjoy single dad’s etc stories. This story is about Eli and Charlotte. They are a nice couple but quite young and even though they are meant to be a couple some things happen and they separated. Years have passed, and fate brings them back together. Throw Charlotte’s abusive ex into the mix and Eli protective nature and the story get’s very interesting. I enjoyed the drama of this story and the characters were right for each other. I did feel more could have been made of the abusive ex and that issue. I felt the whole thing just petered out like a fireworks that didn’t go off.

Eli and Charlotte were high school sweethearts, but they broke up and went their separate ways. Thirteen years have passed and trouble is out to get Charlotte, in the form of her ex (Peter) - who gave her a black eye just before their wedding was to happen. Mrs. Harvey, mother of Eli, crosses paths with Charlotte and brings her back to Utah. Loved the closeness of the family of brothers and how supportive they are to all around their circle. I understand how hard it was to open up to her parents, but happy they turned out to be supportive, too. Suspense hits them in the form of a dead girl and Peter conniving. Loved how the two families rallied around the couple and made things happen. The ending was perfect and they are ready for it now.

Charlotte thought her life, personal and professional, was right on track, then reality slapped her in the face and made her doubt more than she could have imagined.
Eli has been watching his brothers settle down and start families, but his mother showing up with the girl who broke his heart, and currently needs help, is not what he saw coming.
I'm not really a fan of second chance romance stories, so I'm always pleasantly surprised when one clicks, and works for me, and this one really did. It weaves in the challenges young couples face, a military deployment, and the difficulty in openly and honestly communicating when your still figuring out what your thinking.
This done in one Kindle Unlimited quick read is part of a series, but reads as a solid stand alone story.
Eli and Charlotte were high school sweethearts. Something happened to breakup the two. Charlotte is getting ready to marry Peter. Everything has been taken care of until Peter gives Charlotte a black eye. Charlotte runs back to her hometown and runs into Eli’s mother. She provides support and a place to stay. When Eli sees Charlotte he realizes he still loves her. The question is can they move past what happened to break them up? Will they be able to keep Charlotte safe from Peter. Peter is a very evil man. Eli and Charlotte still feel connected to each other. They experience lust, passion, smoking hot sex and love, maybe everlasting love. This is a drama filled, suspenseful, dangerous story. The story is filled with twists and turns and will keep you riveted. Great series!
