Tales from Biders Clump #11
Rock's Revelation
Rock Bannon has a heart as big as the Rocky Mountains that surround his quiet home, but he's always known that romance wasn't in the cards for him. Instead, the big man does his best to see that others around him are happy and safe. A man riding for the brand doesn't have time for silly things like love. Mary Ellen Bigsby is off on an adventure to the home of her favorite writer. She knows it is a frivolous journey, but she wants this one trip before she's too old to travel. Having given her youth to the classroom, she's ready for a change but unprepared for what she finds at the end of the trail. Francis has been accepted by the people of Biders Clump, but the father of the girl he loves is set against him. The young Indian brave will do anything to win the hand of Matrice and start a happy home of their own but can't seem to overcome her father's resistance. When Matrice suggests running away together, Francis has to make the hardest decision of his life. Will true love win the day or will two young people be pulled apart by one man's stubbornness? What revelations await the quiet cowboy when a tiny teacher arrives in Biders Clump?

Outstanding Book!
Everyone of Danni Roan's books in the Tales Of Biders Clump have wonderful stories, however I think Rock's Revelation is my favorite! The character, Rock Bannon has been apart of each of the books in the series. He has grown to be a character I always look for in the stories. I loved reading about how he, too. found his special love.

Mary Ellen and Rock 💞
Rock has been a ranch hand on the Adams' ranch since the three sisters were born. He's a huge hulking man, but with a very kind and gentle heart. He's never had a sweetheart and is now in his early 40's.
Mary Ellen considers herself a spinster now that she's in her mid 30's and has never had a beau. She's newly retired from her teaching job in N Carolina, and has fallen in love with Quil's books. She decides to take a trip to Wyoming and meet her favorite author, as well as see the Wild West.
When Mary Ellen gets off the train, the first person she meets is Rock. Will the sparks fly?
I also enjoyed the side story of Francis and a new comer to Biders Clump, Matrice.
I only wish the epilogue would have been more about Rock and Mary Ellen.

This was another great read!! I loved Rock and Mary Ellen's story!! I especially like the fact that they are over 40, and found love for the first time together. Love can come at any age, and just because it comes later doesn't mean it isn't as great as if it comes younger. In fact, it can be better later because of the maturity that's taken place, and shows that you can live a very fulfilling life without being married. Mary Ellen really wasn't looking for love, but it sure found her!!! Rock didn't expect to, either, and certainly not with a woman like Mary Ellen!! You just can't tell until love finds you!!

Not your typical romance
Rock and Mary Ellen are such great characters. Their sweet friendship sucks the readers in and makes us want to sit a spell and visit.
The supporting characters of Buders Clump add lots of fun and laughs.
This sweet little book offers a bonus romance with Francis and Matrice.
Not only do we get a couple many would think has passed the marrying age, but we also get a young couple just starting life who can’t bear the thought of life separating them.
The author does both relationships justice and leaves readers smiling!

Danni Roan grabbed me with the opening of chapter one. I could totally picture Miss Bigsby except I had her much older. With her frequent referral to herself as a “old spinster” I was surprised by her true age of mid 30’s. I could picture the “oversized” Rock with the petite Mary Ellen. Their courtship was so gentle and gradual, that it was no surprise that he almost let her get away. I totally recommend this book.

This is Book Eleven in the series and the sad part of it is, I haven’t read all the other books. Yes, I’ve read some of the series but not all so I did feel a bit lost once in awhile. There is a lot happening in this small town and everyone seems welcome, no matter their heritage, income, reputation or talents to earn a living. It’s a fun and lighthearted story-line.

Rock at forty two looks after the needs of others, for his joy and happiness When the school spinster Mary Ellen comes having handed her duties as a teacher to someone younger. For a dream to meet the author and to see the mountains as she describes them. Finding love was not expected and convincing Rock of it. Cute story and good series.

Not my cup of tea
This author knows how to plot and how to draw interesting characters, but unless you enjoy reading a series straight through you may find this book irritating. A good deal of it is taken up by references to earlier volumes, information that appears to have no relevance in this story. I was also put off by poor editing.

Sweet story
In the 1800’s, a person over 35 is considered “old”. This’s a sweet little story of two lonely people finding each other and a wonderful relationship. NEGATIVE COMMENT...The proofreading for this book was non existent! Few times I was at a loss as to content as spelling and appropriate punctuation was so bad.

Wonderful Book.
I loved this book. Francis and Matrice got married, that was exciting, and Rock and Mary Ellen had fake relationship, I loved the ending at the Train Station. Sweet way to end a good book. Thanks Danni Roan.

Mary Ellen's Rock
When she was replaced as school teacher, Mary Ellen decided to travel and visit her favorite author. Little did she expect that she would find the rest of her life also.

A wonderful town I wouldlovetolive in. The hard life was made better because everyone helped one another in this small town. The people were fro all types of backgrounds they learned that you couldn’t do it by yourself

A simple, sweet cowboy romance
While the story line is good, and the characters lovable, I was distracted by the bad grammar, incorrect punctuation, and misuse of words. The author needs to run her writing through some good proofreaders and editors.

Nice story
This was a nice quick read. There are lot of characters thrown at you if you havent read any of the previous books. A little confusing at times but not so much to hurt the story. I enjoyed it.
