About this listen
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the final installment of the Blackwells of Montana series, Where You Belong, a small-town, second-chance romance set in Bitterroot Valley!
Brooks
Fifteen years ago, I’d planned a romantic proposal, but that was the day Juliet walked out of my life and never looked back. I never wanted to see her again and decided that love wasn’t for me. But now, Juliet has returned to Bitterroot Valley and opened a restaurant. Catching glimpses of her around town makes my heart ache. I want to hate her. I wish she’d do what she does best and go away. Instead, I find myself wanting to be near her. Helping her. Touching her perfect skin. I don’t want to love her. I don’t want to need her.
Juliet
Coming home to Bitterroot Valley might have been a mistake. Just because I grew up here doesn’t mean I belong here. Honestly, I’ve never felt like I belong anywhere. But once I was finally free from the man who lied and controlled me, I knew I needed to be in Montana. My new restaurant, Sage & Citrus, is a big hit, and I’m making friends. But more importantly, Brooks is here. I know he doesn’t want me, but having him nearby is a balm to my jagged heart. The more I see him, the more I’m reminded that Brooks Blackwell is my soulmate. But has too much time passed? Or will we finally get our happily ever after?

I enjoyed watching Juliet rebuild her life and start her business, and Brooks’ initial resentment toward her felt believable — more about protecting himself than being cruel. His POV worked well, and while he was a solid MMC, he didn’t leave a strong, lasting impression on me.
Where the story fell short was in how Juliet’s past was revealed. As she retells her story, it’s clear she was manipulated by the men in her life, mainly her husband. While this makes sense given her history, I personally prefer a stronger FMC, and it made her feel too passive for my taste, which weakened the emotional payoff. The final third also includes plot elements that felt more like filler than meaningful development. Additionally, the story hints at an external suspense element that doesn’t fully develop and ends too abruptly, and some of the repeated references to other authors and narrators felt a little unnecessary and pulled my focus.
Overall, the small-town setting and familiar warmth of K. P.’s writing are still present, and I’ll continue reading her work. While the story didn’t fully deliver on the series’ build-up, it remains an enjoyable read.
The audio is in Dual style and Samantha and Sabastian did a great job.
