Zane Sutton may have had a movie career, but he's offended
to be called a famous idealist know-it-all by the first
neighbour he meets when he moves to Montana. He used to be
a rodeo cowboy. Brylee Parrish who lives on the next-door
land is in no good mood however; she's been left at the
altar and since built up a successful home decor business,
proving that she doesn't need a man. Now she expects the
new money next door to build a Hollywood style mansion and
ruin the area.
BIG SKY WEDDING takes up where Big Sky Mountain left off,
in which Hutch Carmody, Brylee's ex, found love with Kenda
Shepherd. In Parable County it's hard to get away from
gossip, so Brylee has managed to make peace with Hutch and
continue with her life. Now her sister in law, a country
singer, mentions that she worked with Zane on a movie and
might ask him to a family dinner. Zane has company of his
own however; his young half-brother Nash has been foisted
on him, none too pleased about staying in a run-down ranch
house. But Zane is just glad to reconnect with his roots,
as the dust is settling on his divorce from a party girl.
Brylee runs into them and while still prickly, she agrees
to join Zane for a ride soon, since his fine black horse
has just arrived. Could this be the start of something?
The characters make this story strong, from a moody teenage
girl to a housekeeper affectionately referred to as
Hurricane Cleo. Nash is a keen reader, used to being
abandoned by adults, but thrilled by the prospect of a
horse of his own. The principal two people, Brylee and
Zane, would appear to be well-suited - but their path does
not run smoothly, because Zane has his image to live down,
and Brylee is defensive and afraid of coming across as star-
struck, like the girls in town. The distances in Montana
are made smaller by caring friendships while today's
economic climate does not make it easier to live from the
land. Whisper Creek ranch house is the setting for a
marvellous barbecue, where the sheriff turns the cooking
meat as the aromas sizzle off the page.
Linda Lael Miller has written several books set in Parable
County and BIG SKY WEDDING ties up most of the loose ends,
but she has another book on the way for 2014 called Big Sky
Secrets, which is sure to delight her many fans.
The "First Lady of the West," #1 New York
Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller,
cordially invites you to Parable, Montana-where love
awaits.
Wedding bells are ringing in
Parable, Montana, but Brylee Parrish hasn't enjoyed the
sound since being jilted at the altar by Hutch Carmody.
She's over Hutch now, and running a multimillion-dollar
business is challenging enough for this country gal. So she
should avoid falling head-over-boot-heels for A-list
actor Zane Sutton. He's come home to his rodeo roots, but
Hollywood lured him away once and just might again. Yet
everything about him, from his easy charm to his concern for
his young half brother, seems too genuine to
resist....
Zane didn't come to Parable for
love-but count on a spirited woman to change a jaded
cowboy's mind. Problem is, Brylee's not convinced he's here
to stay. Good thing he's determined to prove to her, kiss by
kiss, that she's meant to be his bride.
