Lets see....26 yr old runaway bride meets 35 yr old half-breed illegitimate rancher (well, part ranch owner, with his 5 other illegitimate brothers). She's spoiled and doesn't know what she wants. Hates housework and "female" duties, loves horses and working on a ranch. He instantly dislikes her because, natch, he's the victim of a runaway bride himself. Oh wait, I forgot the evil almost-aunt of the hero, who's in prison for murdering the hero's uncle in a lame attempt to gain control of said ranch. She's using her two "long lost" daughters to try and gain control of the ranch. And don't forget the psychic who tells the heroine she has a destined mate. Or the jilted ex-lover who comes in search of the heroine. And finally to top this whole mess off - a rock slide that nearly kills the hero. I don't think I've rolled my eyes this much in years.

I recently went back to the beginning of the Montana Mavericks to read them all in order so the facts of the story arc are fresh in my mind. While I can understand that not being the case for the author, she should have kept notes and this book shows she didn't.

Lexine Baxter, as Mary Jo Plummer, murdered Floyd Oakley at her wedding with a knife, not a gun.

Lexine murdered Jeremiah first, then Dugin, so why tell her daughter that she felt Jeremiah was trying to murder Dugin?

I love a good story arc and I'm enjoying this series from the beginning, but shaking my head at authors who are lazy. Where is your storyboard of facts?

Frankly, it takes away from the story.

Interesting twist on the runaway bride stories. The action moved along fairly well and the interaction of the two main characters was good.
