Amish Cowboys of Montana #1
The Amish Cowboy
An Amish cowboy’s unexpected reunion with the one who got away could heal his heart … or break it forever.
Daniel is the eldest of the six Miller siblings helping their Old Older Amish parents run the Circle M Ranch in northwestern Montana. Daniel can handle a blizzard, manage a roundup, even birth a calf. But what he can’t do is forget Lovina Lapp, who broke his heart back in Lancaster County and married someone else. When their neighbors gather to help them bring the cattle down from the summer pastures, Daniel is staggered to see Lovina among them. His job is to keep the group safe in the high country. But will he be able to protect his heart?
After a chaotic childhood and a romance with Daniel Miller that ended when he chose Montana over her, Lovina learned the danger of loving a cowboy. She married another man instead—someone who was safe. But after God took her husband in a freak accident, an invitation to go with old friends to visit the national parks seems like a gift. Until she finds herself unexpectedly at the Circle M Ranch, where one look at Daniel tells her there is nothing safe about her feelings for him …
The Montana Millers. They believe in faith, family, and the land. They’ll need all three when love comes to the Circle M!

Good book
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it's only the second Amish fiction book that was set in Montana. I always like to read how couples got together.

As with most Amish stories FAITH is mention. But to have faith one must put forth action because just believing isn't enough. And in this story family and working the land isn't enough. Finding oneself to offer forgiveness and allowing healing also takes action.For God to help one must not only put themselves in his hand but also allow God to lead them in his direction not just the choosing what they want. This story offer so much and more..

Darn it if this book didn’t leave me hanging I probably would have given five stars. But I cannot handle books that leave you hanging and you won’t find out how it ends until the next series. Mostly because my library is so super slow at getting books unless I request them. lol
Overall, it was a cute book with no heavy themes, and at least it did dive into more about the main female character‘s life regarding the death of her husband
And in true Amish book styles, there’s always a love story that ends in a happy ending

The Amish Cowboy
I really, really liked this book and while I did expect to like it, I didn’t expect to like it this much. I like cowboys, but Amish?
Oh definitely, and not just their food. I loved Daniel and Lavinia may believe in God and prayer but she’s got a backbone. And her son Joel is a heartbreaker.

Daniel is surprised to find the woman who turned him down is visiting. Lovina's gradual change from fear to trust was realistic. I especially enjoyed how the family took her son Joel under their wing, teaching him without complaint.

Story doesn't end
Enjoyed what there was of the story. But it doesn't end. I hate cliffhangers I was enjoying it. Now I'm just angry
