Romance Western
Matt, Luke and now REED have each had their own story in the
Malloys
of Montana series by R.C. Ryan. With each installment in
this fantastic series R.C. Ryan has raised the stakes. Matt
was her
introduction to the Malloy family and I have been fortunate
to read
and review each and every step in this family's history, love,
devotion, and drama. And yes there has been an undercurrent of
drama in the background since Matt's story. Now with REED R.C.
Ryan has finally decided to reopen that can of worms. There's something about a guy and his protective instincts.
It's like an
internal radar that hones in on something that feels wrong.
And in
this case Reed Malloy's instincts are right on. Ally and
her little boy
Kyle are decidedly in a very vulnerable position. Packed up,
lock,
stock and barrel, and moved to a totally new rather foreign
place
seeking out their only family. But in this case that family,
cranky to
say the least, uncle isn't exactly welcoming to these new
arrivals.
And he isn't very subtle. Ally is going to have to get herself and Kyle settled in the
apartment
over her new store and lucky for the two of them their new
found
friend Reed is there to help. Ally came with a lot of baggage, unfinished business not the
least of
which is a lie that she built their lives on. Ally was a
smart woman but
with a mass of insecurities. Being with Reed and his amazing
family
-- the Malloys are definitely a force to reckon with, Ally
realizes what
a real family is. Her only living relative being her uncle
Archer who
isn't too anxious to form any family bonds. So where Ally is trying to establish herself in this small
town it would
appear that there is some obstacle thrown in her path at every
opportunity. Surely her luck has got to change but for that
to happen
Ally has got to believe she is worthy. Tall order, but
remember she
now has the Malloys on her side. Reed is totally aware of the internal battle Ally is forging
but this is
one attraction that has taken over the reins in his life.
Finding a way
to divide his time between his ranch responsibilities and
determining
just what he wants with a relationship with Ally is a
challenge. But
Reed is up for that. In fact the more time he is away from
Ally the
more he realizes just how much a part of his life she and
Kyle have
become. Not something Reed was looking for. But as the Great
One
would say, love doesn't necessarily come when it's
convenient. Well, with regret it would seem that R.C. Ryan is ending her
Malloys
of Montana series with REED. Each book in this series
became my
favorite and so I had high expectations for REED. Never
underestimate the power and talent of R.C. Ryan. Nobody
could pack
so much power in what is advertised as a western romance. REED
as well as the entire series has been so much more. Even the
description of the surrounding landscape is a breathtaking
piece of
art that makes you feel as if you are right there in those
mountains
and vast grasslands that set the stage for a heartwarming
look at a
very eclectic family and their dearest friends. Once you
meet them
you will never forget them.

SUMMARY
A new beginning . . . A fresh start. That's exactly what Ally Shaw needs and what she's found in Glacier Ridge, Montana. Creating a simpler life with her young son and reconnecting with her only remaining family-it's all part of Ally's plan to chase away the pain of her past. But when a dangerously irresistible cowboy rescues her little boy, Ally can't deny she's excited about what else the future might bring. Reed Malloy was a wild horse who wouldn't be broken. Devoted to his work on the land at the expense of everything else, he'd never met a woman who could hold his interest . . . until Ally. And now, beautiful Ally and her fearless, freckled child have this cowboy wanting more. This isn't Ally's first time at the rodeo, though, and convincing her to trust him isn't easy. But there isn't anything he won't do to keep her safe . . . and make her his.
