Fresh Fiction Review

Big Sky Mountain
Linda Lael Miller

Romance

Big Sky Mountain meant something special, unique to Hutch Carmody. It was a place he rode to many times in his life in good and bad times. Made love to perhaps the love of his life there. But seemingly more important it was where he made his personal peace with his father John. Their relationship was strained leaving Hutch with conflicting feelings when it came to this man who sired another son out of wedlock shocking his mother and leaving them to live in the shadow of that affair. Bad enough that Hutch felt insecure and inferior to his brother Slade who in their father's eyes was the son he prized.

Hatch wasn't doing too well in the male female relationship area either having broken quite a few hearts along the way earning a less then complimentary reputation. When Kendra returns after her husband Jeffrey death there's no denying the strong attraction between her and Hutch. Kendra's life has become complicated over the last few years and after adopting the child conceived during one of Jeffrey's affairs she is driven by her responsibility and love for this child. Madison had been through the child welfare system and Kendra knows there are still some emotional scars and some deep insecurities. The last thing she can afford are any more disappointments to Madison and in Kendra's mind Hutch in their lives is sure to wind up doing just that. So Kendra is determined to keep her distance but in a small town like Parable that is just impossible.

Madison's occasional visits with Hutch already leave an indelible mark on this impressionable smart little girl who would like nothing more than to have this cowboy man in her life -permanently. But Kendra knows better. Hutch doesn't do permanent. And now Kendra has someone else's heart to protect more than her own, Madison's. How do you stop a little girl from falling in love with a man who is gentle and kind? How do you prevent yourself from making that same mistake all over again? All good questions, perhaps a leap of faith is needed to see if there is a future for the three of them.

I loved BIG SKY MOUNTAIN the story of Kendra, Hutch and Madison and yes I'm including the little girl in this romance since she will steal your heart. But I am absolutely hooked on all three of the men who are featured in the Parable Montana Slade's story and now Hutch's. I can't wait for Boone's story. I'm hooked before it is even released but knowing Linda Lael Miller it's coming. Miller has a way with people, young and old, and all sorts of animals that are featured in all her books. They are remembered fondly and each book is like returning home for a welcome visit.

SUMMARY

The "First Lady of the West," #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller, brings you to Parable, Montana- where love awaits. With his rugged good looks, vast wealth and family name, hell-raiser Hutch Carmody is still the golden boy of Parable, Montana. But he's done some growing up—making peace with his illegitimate half brother and inheriting half of Whisper Creek Ranch, which should have been all his. These days, Hutch knows there are some things money can't buy: like the heart of loving, ladylike divorcée Kendra Shepherd. Kendra's quiet mansion reminds her of what she wants most—a devoted husband and the pitter-patter of little feet. She can't get Hutch Carmody out of her mind. But a rough-and-tumble cowboy like Hutch, coming home for family dinner? Seems crazy! Then again, crazier dreams have become reality under the vast Montana sky.
