Zane Westmoreland is not the marrying kind, and that's what
he told his lovely girlfriend Channing. She broke up with
him and moved to Atlanta, and now she's going back to
Denver for a medical conference, engaged. ZANE still feels
badly about how their relationship ended. When they meet
up again, Zane realises that much as he enjoyed his time
with Channing he never really appreciated her. However she
still wants marriage and a family, so should he let matters
be, or try to win her back? Unknown to him, while they
dated bets were laid in town about how soon the womanising
Zane would tire of the girl. Channing is a modern woman
with a firm sense of self-respect, and while Zane can still
make butterflies leap inside her, she's pretty sure that he
only loves himself.
The series about the scattered Westmoreland ranching family
by prolific author Brenda Jackson has several earlier
instalments, and this book contains a lot of backstory and
references to other family members, which regular readers
would enjoy as reminders of where the tale had got to with
everyone. I imagine that if readers have followed the story
so far they will be very pleased with another instalment.
Readers coming to ZANE as a standalone, like me, may find
it at times slow when we just want to get on with the main
plot and see how the characters will work out their
differences.
I suggest ZANE is best suited to anyone who might
like the author or who started from the beginning of the
series.
No woman walks away from Zane Westmoreland. But when
Channing Hastings does just that, it leaves the rancher
reeling—and then she returns to town, engaged! Zane will do
whatever it takes to show her that there is no man for her
but him.
