The Creed Legacy
Rough-and-tumble rodeo cowboy Brody Creed likes life on the move. Until a chance encounter with his long-estranged twin brother brings him “home,” for the first time in years. Suddenly Brody is in Creed territory—a rootless bad boy among family with deep ties to the land and each other. He’s half-ready to bolt when he meets a copper-haired beauty more restless than he is.
Carolyn Simmons is living a temporary life in Lonesome Bend, waiting to light out for the glamour of a metropolis. Then she falls for gorgeous Brody Creed, the opposite of everything she wants. But taming his wild heart might just become everything they both need…

About the author
Linda Lael Miller
553 books3,221 followersThe daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a spacious property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 MIRA Books hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
Dedicated to helping others, “The First Lady of the West” personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.

Nothing new, Jolene, the whorebag, tries to cause problems. Our heroine is full of issues. Our hero too. A bit of a drag, but ok.

He knew Lisa loved him, and he’d made up his mind, then and there, to love her back. Even if it killed him. It had taken some doing, but he had come to care for his pretty young wife, especially after their son, Justin, was born. One look at that kid, and Brody would have done anything—given up anything—for him.
three weeks before he would have turned two, Justin was killed in a car wreck, along with Lisa.
Dumped? He hadn’t even had the decency to do that. He’d just boogied, abandoned her in the middle of the night, while she was sleeping.
Somebody else’s cat. Somebody else’s house. Everything in her life, it seemed, belonged to somebody else. Including Brody Creed. Whenever Joleen Williams blew into town, she and Brody were joined at the hip. It was probably only a matter of time before Joleen roped him in for good.
Are you dumping me, Brody Creed? Brody sighed again, dug out his cell phone and speeddialed Joleen’s number. “Hello?” Joleen purred, like she couldn’t imagine who’d be calling little old her. “I just think it’s time we called it quits,” Brody said, seeing no reason to bother with a preamble. “The sleepingtogether thing, I mean.”
“I could make trouble for you, you know,” Joleen reminded him mildly. Was she serious or not? He couldn’t tell. “You could,” he allowed. “You might as well tell me who she is, Brody,” Joleen went on reasonably, ignoring what he’d said. “I can find out with a phone call or two, anyway.”
Nothing had ever—ever—hurt the way losing Lisa and Justin did. What if history repeated itself? What if he had to bury another wife, another child?
“She’s back.” Just then, the door opened and Joleen poked her head inside, beaming in the unfounded expectation of a warm welcome. This month she was a blonde, and her contacts turned her eyes an unlikely shade of purple.
“You didn’t hear him setting his stupid ground rules,” she said, revealing more than she’d ever intended by that statement. “No sex?” Tricia asked, visibly battling back a laugh. “And we can both see other people if we want to.” Tricia’s expression changed in an instant. “Brody said that?” Carolyn nodded. “That stinker,” Tricia muttered.
“Well,” Tricia replied, squirming a little, “Joleen is back in town, that’s all.”
“I should have known what he was up to,” Carolyn said. “In fact, I did know, but I chose the luxury of denial.”

Not the perfect novel by a long shot. A good editor could have eliminated the monotony of a lot of unnecessary repetition of details and slimmed it down by 100 pages or so. Not to mention that all of the characters are common stereotypes found in contemporary cowboy romances. Ho hum. Nevertheless, it is worth persevering through the boredom. This novel is unique among those of this genre (that I have read) by virtue of the very clear message stated by a minor character (the uncle of the main male character) - that message being that loyalty, honour, respect, acceptance of responsibility are among the many qualities which are equally as important within a loving relationship as sexual passion and compatibility. Kudos to the author for adding this important message to what could have been just another tale of a bickering young couple who finally discover that they love each other.

Oh my, oh my, oh my . . . those Creed men just keep our mouths watering and our hearts palpitating, and good ole boy Brody is no exception. Playing the bad boy of the family, estranged from his twin brother Connor for a decade, showing up in Lonesome Bend only now and then and leaving the responsibility of their jointly owned ranch to Connor, Brody was a man who seemed to live in the emotional shadows and even those closest to him most of his life felt excluded and shunned.
But Brody has now come home and is in the process of building his own house and barn on property purchased from his brother's wife, Trisha McCall Creed--whose story was the subject of the second book in this trilogy, Creed's Honor. Now he appears to have accepted the need to carry his share of the ranching load even though he will be living in his own home, seemingly ready to once again shoulder his family responsibilities and the relationships that go with them. Something is different about the man now. He has made peace, for the most part, with his brother and yet, there are shadows in Brody's past, a deep hurt that he doesn't seem to want to share, or perhaps, he finds it too painful to revisit. In any case, his family is thankful he is back and seems prepared to stay. His rodeo days are over. Add to that the fact that Trisha and Connor were expecting their first child, and Brody deeply desired the sense of happiness and contentment he perceived in his twin brother.
This novel is about lots of things--finding a way out of an emotional maze that is painful, summoning the best in one's self, the healing power of love, overcoming fears that are so deeply rooted that they have become accepted as part and parcel of one's life, and finding hope for the future. It is also about the need to forgive one's self, especially when the guilt and hurt are really not legitimate nor are they about anything that can be changed.
I have to say that I liked all the Creed men in these three novels but I really came to resonate most with Brody, possibly because he was so vulnerable and tried so hard to be the hard-bitten cowboy rodeo champ that everyone else saw. Inside he was lonely, needy, and wanting to be settled and happy. He knew he had to own up to some really foolish and wounding behavior in the past, especially toward Carolyn who he had secretly desired for years, but his fumbling efforts to overcome the difficulties and barriers his behavior had caused were endearing in a way. That he would make the efforts he did were proof that down deep he was a man of deep emotion and passions, wanting a mate who would return those feelings and who would help him to feel complete.
Carolyn, too, was a tender, lost, hurting soul. She and Trisha Creed had started a business together. She was artistic, sensitive, and had major trust issues from being abandoned by the people she trusted and forced to be on her own from early age. She was a wanderer--a professional house-sitter, going from place to place, never really feeling like any spot on the planet was hers exclusively. Starting the business with Trisha made a difference--she felt that perhaps there was a place for her that no one could take away and that was not temporary. Her pain over Brody's abandonment eight years earlier had never been relieved as she really didn't know why he had left, especially as they has been talking marriage just hours before. It was a wound that just wouldn't heal. His leaving just reinforced her belief that any person she loved would eventually abandon her.
Linda Lael Miller is one of those writers that just knows how to craft these characters so that they reach out and grab the reader's imagination and they just don't let go. In fact, this was so true in this instance, that I was truly sorry when the novel ended. There are also some surprises here and a facet of Brody's personality that emerged in such a way that some of his friends and family were truly surprised. All the characters in these novels were unique and interesting in their own way. Carolyn was a character that I felt deeply about, and I almost felt a hurting sensation when she experienced another disappointment or when she and Brody just couldn't seem to get on the same wave length. All is a testimony to Miller's writing expertise and, I think, her ability to translate the images of her own imagination onto the pages of her books.
Lovers of those manly cowboy type men will love this trilogy and I think especially this book. It has capped off the three-book series so beautifully and yes, it is fiction but no, it isn't a waste of time. It is worth every minute and you may be just like me--already thinking about re-reading it.
I give this novel a 4.5 out of 5

The Creed Legacy by Linda Lael Miller is the third and final book in her Creed Cowboys trilogy.
After years on the road and a devastating personal tragedy, Brody Creed has finally come home to Lonesome Bend, Colorado to make amends with his twin brother, Conner, and the rest of their family. Brody also wants a second chance with Carolyn Simmons, a woman that he once had a relationship with but left behind. The attraction between Brody and Carolyn is as intense as ever, but Carolyn never really got over Brody breaking her heart, and she wonders if she can trust him with it a second time ...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I love westerns (whether they are contemporary or historical), and Miller's books are just comforting, down-home reads. I know exactly what I'm going to get when I pick up one of her books -- a sexy cowboy or two, men and women with strong roots and friendships with each other, a big extended family, and lots of pets.
This book follows that formula, but the elements just didn't quite gel for me this time. My main problem with this book is that there just didn't seem to be all that much romance in it. Brody and Carolyn talk and think about each other a lot, but it didn't seem like they were actually on the page together at the same time all that much. I would have liked to have seen much more of them interacting with each other and working through their issues.
Overall, this book didn't work for me as well as some of Miller's other titles have, but if you like westerns, you should check out her books.

Review by Jen: This story is supposedly about Brody Creed (as the series has been following the Creed clan), but really, the star of this book is Carolyn, his love interest. Carolyn is a complex character and one that you're just drawn to. She's lead a hard life, first being abandoned by her mother, then surviving the foster care system and then leading a "gypsy" life -- floating from one job/place to another, but never really settling down. But when she lands in Lonesome Bend, she found a place she can call home and hopes to settle in. She's become friends with the Creed clan and even had an affair with Brody years ago, but he broke her heart when one night he just disappeared. Now he's back and the attraction between them is still blazing and he's pulling out all the stops to try to win her back, but she's afraid to trust him again.
Now, not to say Brody don't have his complexities. I mean, he did have his reasons (and pretty honorable ones at that) for disappearing on Carolyn. But being hard-headed, he doesn't just tell Carolyn what happened... no he just sets out to seduce her. Granted, he's really good at the seducing or romancing or whatever you want to call it, but so many of their hurdles would've been cleared if they'd just talked about their past. But, that said, the book would've also been over way too soon, so I shouldn't complain too much.
I enjoyed this story. It was a good conclusion to the Creed trilogy (and now I need to go back and read book 1). Linda Lael Miller has written another heart-warming tale.

Brody and Carolyn were my favorite couple in Miller’s Creed series. And I wasn’t expecting that, because (1) I don’t typically like romances where the hero/heroine have a history, and (2) I was feeling a little Creed burn out before I got to this book.
I loved that this continues the stories from her earlier books, but I never felt that it overpowered their story. Tricia and Conner are in the honeymoon stage, but I enjoyed that their romance elevates their other relationships (friendships, familial, etc.) rather than being their only focus.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed their story. Brody and Carolyn have both been on the run – from life. Brody has a tragic past, and he has finally decided to return home and make things right. Carolyn has a history of running before she gets left behind, and she has decided to place roots in this little community that has made her feel so welcome. But she’s afraid to trust in Brody again, afraid to make commitments.
Brody doesn’t know how he feels about Carolyn, but he knows that he doesn’t want her moving on. His feelings for her are tied up in his guilt about the past, and he has a lot to work through and step up before he can really show her that he has changed. Carolyn has to decide whether Brody is worth the risk, or if she should settle for a nice, “normal,” complication free guy. I really enjoyed the twist that Carolyn’s dating threw into the mix, and how this becomes an important piece of their story.
Definitely worth the read!

Wow, this may very well be my first 1 star book. And I usually enjoy Linda Lael Miller's novels!
A lot of things annoyed me in this (and some just made me mad), which I won't go into again (if you really want to know, they are in my updates for the book - talking about them again would just make me mad. Again). Basically, there is a distinct lack of strong individual characters. There is the very obvious bias against internet dating (which, while something I personally have never done, is a perfectly acceptable way of meeting people) - our main character likens it to signing up to be a mail-order bride. Yes, that is totally the same thing. Sarcasm. If the author does not like internet dating, perhaps she shouldn't have used it as a plot device in her novel. Also, the idea that it is perfectly okay not to tell your potential significant other major life events.
Basically, overall, I am surprised that I actually managed to finish this.

The prodigal has returned and despite a decade of separation the identical twins Brody and Connor still resemble two peas in a pod and Brody unabashedly helps himself to his twin's wardrobe. Since book 6 Connor and Tricia got married and a baby Creed's arrival is imminent. At issue in book 7 is the path to matrimonial bliss Brody and Carolyn will take. If a certain ennui creeps in here you're reading me correctly.
If you're familiar with the joke about what happens when you sing a country music song backwards these novels seem to follow a similar pattern:
You get your dog back=generally a stray
You get your truck back=generally brand new
You get your house back=often newly built
You get your wife back=generally newly wed though past flirtation is often the case.
The sex is always good, marriage and a baby follow, these boys are virile, and succeeding babies, to quote Davis in this outing, take nine months.
And a rodeo past is often part of these boys' history. They never seem to lack for money though I can't imagine most make a killing on the rodeo circuit.
Perhaps I should admit that the law of diminishing utility is coming into play here.
As the series winds up I predict the next Creed will arrive in under nine months.

This was the last book of the Montana Creed series and I really liked Brody and Carolyn, and I liked their story. I have to admit though that Miller disappointed me on a couple of points in this book: Joleen and the horse. On both accounts, I kept expecting something big to happen in the story with them. More than once Brody even verbalized the concern that she would cause trouble with Carolyn . . . but she never did. And both Brody and Carolyn talked about, looked at, considered the dangerous horse and his history and I kept waiting for some disaster to befall concerning the horse. But it never did. I felt like these were both sort of 'red herrings' in the story that ultimately amounted to nothing and should have added some sort of drama to the relationship or been played down or cut from the story. On the whole though, it was a good ending to the Creed's series and I enjoyed the budding romance as much as any of the others.

estrelas 3.5
gosto mesmo de LLM!
é uma escritora que tem um jeito tão natural de contar uma historia que mais parece o "nosso" dia a dia.
personagens bem crediveis, a trama é tao envolvente que achamos que estamos a ler sobre alguem que conhecemos.
captamos e sentimos a "dor" dos personagens nos seus dramas, sentimos a emoçao e a alegria de um final feliz.
pode parecer "simples" e "elementar" mas as coisas simples e elementares são na maior parte das vezes o que nos faz sorrir com o coração e transparecer no olhar! :)

Couldn't finish it. I downloaded this from audible.com and the first hour just left me thinking of faded calico instead of something with sizzle. I can't recommend this book and will not read any more of this author's work unless I come across some reviews that show me that other of Ms Miller's books are more compelling.

I'm sad to finish this extra-long series of good book with two books boring. This one was less boring than the previous one but still.
I didn't like Creed twins. They were boring and childish.
On that sad note I'm saying good bye to Linda Lael Miller.

Tough cowboys, independent women, and a beautiful country setting. If you enjoy modern western romances, you are going to love The Creed Legacy.

I did not particularly like this story, a contemporary second-chance romance in a little town.
Brody is an ex- rodeo cowboy who left the heroine, Carolyn, after a passionate night spent together seven years ago, without giving an explanation, without an apology.
When they meet again, Carolyn does not want anything to do with him, at first. But then her love for him, and his charms, make her forgive him.
I found Carolyn to be a very weak, bland and stupid female character with a very low self esteem and no pride, despite being blond and beautiful. I did not like Brody at all, he behaved inconsiderate and thoughtless with regard to Carolyn (and his former lover turned wife!). Furthermore, in my opinion as he had abused Carolyn‘s trust so many years ago he was beyond redemption and thus did not deserve her forgiveness.
At the very least I expected a good groveling scene, which never came. Waste of time!

At the very least I expected a good groveling scene, which never came. Waste of time!

great book
This proves that good things happen even if they take 8-9 years to happen, Carolyn’s has loved Brody as long as she has lived in Lonesome Bend. He loved her too, but unforeseen circumstances broke them apart, only to come back together later. Recommend this book just as I do all of Linda Lael Miller’s books.

In the past and present, Brody and Carolyn make an interesting couple. Their history is traumatic and heartbreaking. A bright future depends on their forgiving themselves and each other. Think prodigal son for Brody. Think struggling artist for Carolyn. Reading about the Creed Clan always proves engaging. Even the pets and livestock bring down home vibes to the story.

I love Linda Lael Miller have most of her books.This one how ever had me ready to scream if she mentioned washing hands and renaming every member of the family.Im starting to wonder if she was losing ideas for the book and just started throwing in words.

Sick and in bed for a few days so what to do? Finish another romance novel/ series of course! I was excited to see Carolyn’s story after meeting her earlier in the series. And finally knowing why Brody did what he did. Yay for another nice and steamy read!

Fun Cowboy Book
It was entertaining and a fast light read.
Fast and light romance...predictable outcome!
Cowboy meets girl...cowboy takes off....cowboy returns years later...happy ending.

Carolyn was a bit of a drama queen and Brody was phenomenally bad at communicating but otherwise all the drama that makes a romance novel would be missing. Overall this was pretty good. I don't read much romance anymore but Miller, especially the Creed series, are about as good as it gets.

Eh. Create two annoying people who fight all the time. Create tension by miscommunication, misunderstanding and pigheadedness. Resolve tension by jumping each other’s bones. Voila! You have a book.

A brother, a twin, conflict, will the problems that kept him away from his family for years keep him from finding love? Totally enjoyed this book.

Brody creed
Creeds of montana, Brody and Carolyn were a good match. Both had personal issues to work through and over come. Very good read and as always well done Linda Leah Miller.

Nice Series End
Not too much drama, just enough to be funny and not terribly hurtful. Answers to many questions and a happily ever ending.
