Veronica Miller is a plumber on a mission—buy out her dad and the family business is finally hers. One big, handsome problem stands in her way. And it’s not a clogged toilet. Jack Reid is the boy she crushed on in high school. Ten years ago, he broke her heart and skipped town. But now he’s back, and he’s definitely no longer a boy. He’s all man—and he’d really like for Veronica to check out his … like for Veronica to check out his pipe. Forced to being roommates, Jack and Veronica have to work through a decade of baggage, disappointment, wanting and unrequited lust.
Even though Veronica’s heart hasn’t yet forgiven Jack, they’ll need more than a pillow berm down the middle of the bed to keep them apart.
In Montana Ice, the second book in the Small Town Romance series, it might be below zero, but Jack and Veronica heat things up.

Sometimes having a twin isn’t fun. I felt for poor Veronica because she finds herself in come sticky situations. The events in this book made me laugh a lot. They’re crazy, but for this couple so appropriate. The meeting of Veronica and Jake for the first time in ten years is quite memorable. This is the second book in the series, but can be read as a standalone. I’m glad Goldie is in this one too because she’s hilarious. This grabbed me from the beginning and it was hard to put down. I’m looking forward to more from this series.
I truly enjoyed Jack and Veronica’s story. Not only did I enjoy the second chance love story but I enjoyed the humor as well. Poor Veronica and Jack learned that a misunderstanding between the two of them (with a third person causing their hurt) caused years of separation and misplaced hatred. I’m really glad that they were able to clear the air and find their HEA but I wish that we could have gotten more of that background story and why the whole situation happened (and please tell me that the stained shirt wasn’t the real reason). I loved the Lorraine situation as well. I feel bad that she had to go through all of that and that poor Veronica had to deal with it but I couldn’t help but laugh at the whole situation. Oh and the gnome! I love his cameo!! Jack as a great guy who was dealt a bad hand but he was wonderful with Veronica and he kept a big smile on my face. I’m looking forward to more in this series and seeing who’s next with their HEA.
The second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. I was snickering while reading, so it is a book that will cheer you up if you are having a bad day.
One of my favorite characters in the book is Goldie. She is just so much fun, but also very warm and loving.
Veronica and .. worked well together. veronica being a plummer was something I enjoyed. It is not something you read a lot.
This book was a fun quick read and you could tell the author enjoyed writing it.
GAH!! I love this new series and Montana Ice is perfect!! Jack and Veronica were so great! There were times I wanted to hit both of them, but that just makes them human! I loved being able to see the characters we met in Montana Fire again – it was like coming home. Vanessa Vale has another FIVE STAR READ with this one!
Great funny addition to the series. I liked how a few characters made repeat appearances especially George. While little girls were planning out their weddings, playing with dolls and having tea parties Veronica was following in her father’s footsteps and wanting to be a plumber. With only one more payment Veronica is going to own her father’s plumbing business. She also works at Goldilocks the adult store run by Goldie and Goldie is a hot mess in the best of ways.
Jack moved away years prior to become a divorce attorney and is now back to help his uncle. They both were in for a big surprise when Veronica is staying at her sisters house because repairman are repairing her house and Jack shows up to stay at Veronica‘s sisters house also. He moved away because of a misunderstanding when they were in high school. Coming back into town dredges up old memories and feelings for Jack. Well Veronica and Jack get their happily ever after? The woman stalking Veronica is in for a big surprise also.
Once again, I loved every word of this small town romance. Sucked in from the very beginning, the endearing characters living in Bozeman, Montana are delightful, quirky, and I just can’t get enough.
Did I read this while at work? Maybe…but once I began reading Montana Ice I absolutely hated to put it down.
It’s been record breaking temps right now and I didn’t need to turn on the fans because I could feel the chill rolling off the pages. Vanessa plucked me up and dropped me off into the frosty winter of Montana. As much as I hate cold weather, I love when an author can transport me into their world.
Veronica Miller has dreamed and thought of Jack Reid for ten years.
The one that got away.
Or more like…..
Slept with her sister Violet and now Veronica dreams of revenge.
Sweetly maiming Jack Reid if she ever saw him again.
So when she whacks him with a paddle over the head and possibly kills him, okay so she didn’t kill him, but he did break an entering into her house. Well technically it’s not her house it’s her sisters, but that’s besides the point, she still whacked him with a paddle, hard enough to knock him out.
He could have been a dangerous intruder.
He didn’t even knock.
And he slept with her sister.
It was ten years ago, but time doesn’t matter, he still deserved it.
Why does he look so good lying there unconscious?
Why is he back in Montana after disappearing ten years ago?
Why is he back in Violet’s house?
Maybe she should whack him again.
Second chances, unrequited love, a crazy stalker and George the gnome returns. This book will have you LOL while falling in love. I promise.
January in Montana has never been hotter!
Veronica lost her high-school crush, Jack, to her twin sister years ago but hasn’t ever really gotten over him. Jack comes back to town ten years later to help his uncle with his remodel project and finds himself crossing paths with Veronica again. At first the circumstances that split them up keep them at each other’s throats, but eventually secrets come out and nothing is as they thought it was.
This beautiful story is so much more than a romance. Veronica and Jack still have a lot of things to work through, and Jack is still trying to find his better self after years of selling his soul for his career. Side stories include Veronica’s sister, the local sex-toy shop, and a deranged yet sympathetic stalker. There’s so much fun packed in this story. Every bit flows together, tugging your heart strings even while you’re laughing your head off. It’s the most fun a book can be, and I’m looking forward to more books in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This book is hilarious! There is absolutely no other word to describe it. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard when reading a book. Book 2 in the series, it is completely a stand alone. While there a few characters from book 1 that make appearances (including George!) the events are totally new.
Veronica is a small town girl, following her dreams of buying her dad’s plumbing company. She’s a hard worker, smart, loyal, and friendly. But there is the one that got away…. Jack is a lawyer, who grew up with Veronica, but fled small town life after high school. He is back in town, to help out with his uncle’s house remodel, and when he runs into Veronica, the past rears its ugly head.
This book has so much going for it. It’s unusual, the characters are realistic, and the character interactions are hilarious. There were several points that I laughed until I had tears in my eyes. From mistaken identity, inept stalkers, and sex toy parties, this book is a light-hearted, fun read, that I would recommend to any one!
