Montana Series 01

4 Hearts

Nate discovers the ranch he part owns isn't doing as well as he thought, so on the advice of his partners he agrees to get a marketing expert in to turn the ranch around, but he isn't prepared for the hot city guy who turns up with his family in tow. Jay snatches the chance of a new beginning for himself and his family when he loses his job and his sister's violent ex turns up, but he never accounted for his sexy new cowboy boss. Settling his family comes first for Jay but he can't ignore his longing for Nate, Nate has ideas of his own, but will Jay be willing to stay at Crooked Tree Ranch and will Nate tell Jay how he really feels?

R.J. Scott has done it again, she has produced another series with fabulous characters, incredible settings and with the added bonus of family drama. Both Nate and Jay are introduced in their own settings, Nate on the ranch with the hidden problems coming to light and Jay in the city office as his world crumbles around him. We then see both of them finding solutions to their problems and their first meeting isn't exactly sunshine and roses. We discover a lot about the characters of both men, in their past and continued actions and they are both men that are honorable and family orientated, but are both tough and determined in their own ways.

The relationship between Nate and Jay is a slow evolving one but the attraction and sparks between them let you know it will be an incredible one. There's plenty of background stories playing out involving both Nate's two brother's and Jay's sister and niece, as well as cute little sweet Josh (Jay's nephew) settling easily into his new life. Along with the normal tension and worries of moving to a new State and the horrible tension of an abuser refusing to let go, it has the hopes and fears of a new relationship and the hotness of sexy men taking a chance on love. There is also a mystery lurking in the background involving the disappearance of two young boys and the ongoing relations between the three partners of the ranch.

I loved this story, it had just the right amount of everything to keep me turning the pages and having me scouring the internet for hints about future books, it had me secretly grinning that it had sexy cowboys and I'd snatched the book right out from under Cat's nose *raspberry*. It got my mind flying off wondering what happened to the young teenagers who had disappeared... *R.J. I want to know... NOW*, it had me sighing over family and the changes that security and a fresh start can bring. It's a very fulfilling story that doesn't have a miss, it hits the spot from every aspect and I am really hoping that R.J. coughs up the next in the series pretty quickly.

I recommend this story if you love cowboys, city guys, sexy men, family drama, a lingering mystery, some hot sex, a great story, brilliant characters and some brilliant writing. Oh and if you can read! LOL, R.J. I am expecting you to write like the wind and have sore fingers in the near future :-)

New York Cowboy by Lisa Worrall

MM Good Book Reviews (Pixie's books)

3 1/2 - 4 Hearts

Review written for MM Good Book Reviews

Vance is fighting an uphill struggle trying to keep his ranch going, the once thriving ranch has suffered major losses due to a neighbor trying to drive him to sell. But Vance and his mother are made of sterner stuff and although it sticks in his craw he accepts his mothers suggestion of opening up the ranch as a cowboy camp to city slickers. Adam and his team are ordered to Wolf Creek Ranch as a team building exercise and when he arrives Adam is ordered to dig into the finances of the ranch by his father, but why would his dad want to know that? While doing as his dad asks Adam falls for the sexy rancher and decides to dig deeper, especially when it looks like his father might have just ruined the best thing that ever happened to him. But will Vance ever forgive him? And can Adam truly stand up to his bully of a father?

Hmmm sexy alpha cowboy, sexy hot city boy and an intriguing storyline what more could you ask for to cuddle up to in the approaching autumn nights? Vance is our super sexy cowboy who has suffered the loss of his father and the slowly dwindling stock on his ranch, he wants to take his shotgun and show his neighbor, Andrew Blackwell, what happens when you mess with a rancher's business but quieter minds prevail and he opens his ranch up to the city boys and corporations to keep it afloat. Falling for a city boy was not in Vance's plans but he can't resist Adam, but what will he do when he discovers just who Adam really is and his reason for being on the ranch? Adam finds himself torn when he falls for the sexy rancher, his father wants information but the more Adam finds out the more he is disgusted by the man, but Adam has more than his own fear of the man to contend with. Adam has to choose a path to follow but it will be a bumpy ride to find happiness.

This is a really great story that has brilliant characters who get laid bare before us, we don't just get to see the tough exterior or the sexy confidence, we get to see their vulnerable and compassionate sides that makes us fall head over heals for them. Both characters are wonderful to get to know and we see the story from both their perspectives, it draws us in as we see the suffering they have both gone through at the hands of Andrew Blackwell. We see a beautiful relationship developing but one truth nearly shatters it all and we see the desperate scrabble as one of them tries to repair the damage.

There are many cowboy stories floating around but this one has firmly placed itself in my read-again file, it's at times like this that I am thankful for ereaders because the pages can't be worn through (pgs 41-42) as I have a couple of scenes that I will be perving over repeatedly *wicked laugh*. Lisa Worrall gives us a great story with a wonderful relationship, some angst and drama and some hot sex scenes (even the solo one *wipes brow*) and a delightful confrontation and a great connection between Adam and Vance.

Now boys and girls I have to recommend this is to you love sexy confident cowboys, hot city boys just trying to protect, a great storyline of overcoming the dastardly bully, grabbing hold of happiness and fighting for what you want.
