Linda Lael Miller returns to her Parable, Montana series with BIG SKY WEDDING, the fifth book in the series. Rodeo cowboy and A-list actor Zane Sutton has had enough of the Hollywood life. He just left it all behind, and he and his newly adopted dog Slim are moving to a ranch that Zane and his brother Landry own. Shortly after Zane arrives in Montana, Landry calls to tell him that their father has once again shirked his responsibilities, and Landry is sending their 12-year-old half brother Nash to stay with him. Zane isn't happy about this development, but he takes on the kid who Zane soon realizes just needs someone to be there for him on a regular basis.

Brylee Parrish is very successful in her professional life. She has grown her home décor company into a multi- million dollar business, and work has become the focus of her life. She's less successful in love. As readers familiar with the series already know, Hutch Carmody left Brylee at the altar in Miller's second Parable, Montana story Big Sky Mountain. Since then, Brylee has avoided relationships, choosing to focus on her family and career. When she and Zane meet, she hates him on sight because she knows he'll be just like the other Hollywood-types, but as she sees him with Nash and gets to know him, her opinion of Zane slowly changes. They share one amazing kiss, and Brylee must begin to confront the possibility of having romance in her life again.

Brylee and Zane's romance doesn't really become the focus of the novel for quite a while. Instead, the great family and small town storylines take a starring role. They outshine the romance and are truly the best part of the story. Miller's extraordinary talent for creating a strong sense of community is on full display in BIG SKY WEDDING. She makes us want to be part of the characters' world, and we get to visit it over and over again in this series. Once things heat up between Brylee and Zane, their romance progresses quickly, and their happily ever after is satisfying if a bit rushed.
