Staff Sergeant Monty Davison is in between tours of duty in Afghanistan when he meets and becomes engaged to Risa Grant after a whirlwind two weeks.  They are soon separated when Monty must return to the Middle East.  During this separation tragedy befalls them both.  Risa gets scared and leaves town and Monty is forced to track her down.  The Reluctant Bride is the fifth novella in Montana Born's Great Wedding Giveaway series.  I am a fan of Katherine Garbera's work, so I had high hopes for this novella.  Unfortunately, the story felt a little flat.  It wasn't a bad read, but I had trouble feeling sympathy for the characters.  Risa was very indecisive and I kept wishing I could shake some sense into her.  Perhaps, if the characters had been more sure of themselves and each other, I would have been able to connect.
