The third book in the Montana Born Brides Series, “Bride By Mistake” by Nicole Helm has Kaitlin Shuller and Beckett Larson at loggerheads as they battle antagonism and sudden love for each other.

Kaitlin and Beckett end up having a one night of consoling sex that has Kate pregnant, unsure and emotional. Beckett had always had feelings for Kate, but he’s got a history of running away from problems. But with Kate he decides to face them, and confess his love for her. Kate is going through an emotional high as she sees the man of her dreams marry her sister, and now been pregnant with Beckett’s baby leaves her insecure and emotional.

I thought both Kate and Beckett needed more character development. The story is short and seemed rushed into a conclusion. Although it’s an okay read, I really wasn’t able to connect with the characters or the story, and definitely missed the aura that usually surrounds the town of Marietta.
