Next in the Montgomery Saga, March 30, 2007
This review is from: A Family Portrait (The Montgomery Family, Book 3) (Paperback)
Another awesome book as J. J. Massa continues her Montgomery Family saga with A Family Portrait and you won't be disappointed! This is werewolf Tavist Darke's story. Tavist has survived much pain in his life including the loss of his mate and pup. Tracey West and her three children have survived the abuse inflicted by their husband/father. All are in need of a second chance at love, life and trust.
Tavist first meets Tracey's young daughter Ashley and saves her from bullies. Her fear of everyone is so great that she runs home leading Tavist straight to her gorgeous, over protective mother and frightened younger brothers. Tavist soon wants this human family as his own, but knows there are many obstacles to be overcome including Tracey's dangerous ex husband and the whole family's fear of men. Tavist must be patient with all of them if Tracey is to become his mate, but patience is hard fought when he wants her so badly. How can any woman resist this gorgeous hunk of man/wolf and his incredible lovemaking?
The Montgomery/Livingston clan unites again to protect their own with new surprises and another heartwarming love story. You'll be melting long before Tracey finally does. Make room on your JJ Massa shelf next to Acting Like Family and Family Harmony.

A Family Portrait, February 20, 2008
This review is from: A Family Portrait (The Montgomery Family, Book 3) (Paperback)
Tavist Darke has known grief and loss. His mate and pup were killed in a car accident and he withdrew into his wolf nature for many years. It's only been recently that his adopted family, the Montgomery's, have helped to draw him back into living. Tavist was not looking for a new mate, but it seems nature has thrown him a curve in his new neighbor. Not only is she available, she comes with three adorable children. Now all Tavist must do is convince her!
Tracey West has just gotten out of a bad marriage. Not only did her husband abuse her, he dared raise a hand to her children! Tracy has finally broken free and in the process, put her ex in jail. She wants nothing to do with men, not even her sexy new neighbor.
When Tracey's ex escapes from prison, it's Tavist and his adopted family that she turns to for help. Tavist has his own secrets, but he has vowed to protect her and her children. Can Tracy let go of the past and reach for a future with Tavist?
A Family Portrait by J.J. Massa is the third in the Montgomery series. It can be read on its own, though several of the characters from the previous books are part of the story line. Both Tavist and Tracey are drawn to each other and have to let go of their past hurts. Learning to trust in each other is a major part of the plot. Tavist has the soul and sensitivity of an artist, which is just what Tracey needs. She is learning to stand up for herself and balancing that with Tavist's dominating werewolf nature, takes a little doing. Tavist's skillful and tender seduction releases the passionate nature in Tracey that has been beaten down by her ex. This third installment of the Montgomery Family does not disappoint!
