3 1/2 Stars I'll Be There is the sixth installment of Samantha Chase's Montgomery Brothers series. This book really can't be read as a standalone, it has characters from previous books and it makes it a little difficult in my opinion to follow everything if you don't know their backgrounds. This is the story of Gabriella and Zach. Gabrielle and Zach had been friends for a long time but once Gabrielle started working as Zach's assistant good friends turned to them being hardly civil. After some hurtful words by Zach, the two part ways. But when Zach is injured during a mountain climbing accident and needs help (even though he won't admit it), his family sends Gabrielle to help Zach. I will have to say Zach is pretty much a jerk 80% of the book and Gabrielle easily accepts his attitude and apologies. I would like to have seen her develop a backbone a little sooner towards Zach. It was a good story, I just wish Zach could have had a little better attitude. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

I was ecstatic when I found out that Samantha Chase was releasing a new Montgomery Brothers novel. This family is such a joy that it is no hardship to visit time and again. I'll Be There is Zach's story. Zach has been successful at whatever he touches. His personality, focus, looks and even his family name has opened doors but his ambition is the key to all of his triumphs. When larger than life Zach is forced down to earth after an accident he is anything but happy. Gabriella is a formidable match for Zach. She has worked hard to accomplish her achievements and has managed to do so despite the odds. Gabriella is no pushover. She speaks her mind. With I'll be there Samantha Chase wrote a story full of triumph but she also introduced two characters afraid of letting anyone too close for fear of appearing weak. The lesson I took away from I'll Be There is that showing emotion is not weak. Emotions are a part of the maturity process that leads to a well rounded happy life. I received an ARC of I'll be There in exchange for an honest review. 10+ Stars.
