Montana has a relatively low crime rate, but one man is
hiding in shadows, ready to grab a woman and stuff her into
his car trunk. Out shopping late, McKenzie Sheldon has her
mind occupied for long enough to be attacked. Remembering
a series of self-defence classes, she fights back,
determined not to let the man take her away from the
parking lot.
RESCUE AT CARDWELL RANCH gets off to a vigorous start as
Texas man Hayes enters the fray and calls the police. He's
a relative of Dana Cardwell, and has come up to stay with
the family on the Cardwell ranch. Hayes's brother Tag is
going to marry a local girl called Lily and the town of
Bozeman is all excitement. This creep stalking and
attacking women is bad news, but the police haven't much to
go on. There is a guy called Gus Thompson in McKenzie's
real estate office who has been making her uncomfortable
for some time, but that's not evidence. Just in case, she
fires him. Now two men hate her.
Hayes and his brothers own a barbecue restaurant chain, and
Hayes also works as a private investigator. The Texan
doesn't want a branch of the family business opening in
Montana, so Tag's determination to stay and open his own
place puts the brothers at odds. I actually couldn't see
the difficulty here. McKenzie is invited to stay in a
guest cabin at the ranch for safety. Will that be enough
to protect her from a psychopath who's afraid she can
identify him? Especially when she has to attend a major
real estate conference?
The author BJ Daniels makes good points - women in small
towns feel safer, while the abundance of isolated spots
aids an abductor. The police in these areas are
understaffed with a huge area to cover, while a serial
killer may cover a wide swathe of the country. Having
taken a self-defence course saved this girl's life.
I always enjoy the Cardwell ranch stories for realism and
romance, with great looks at the big sky setting of Montana
and all its varied people. RESCUE AT CARDWELL RANCH is a
romantic suspense story with a real flair for drama, and an
adult love story to make you catch your breath. We learn
lots about barbecue too! This book is teamed with another
called WANTED WOMAN set in Puget Sound, for a change of
scenery. Fantastic value!

Saving her once was risky. Rescuing her again may be fatal.
When Hayes Cardwell arrived in Big Sky, Montana, for his
brother's wedding, the Texas P.I. didn't expect to play
hero. But ever since he saved her from a brutal abductor,
he
can't get McKenzie Sheldon out of his mind and heart. As
passion blindsides him, Hayes vows to protect the beautiful
business owner from once again becoming the target of a
killer intent on finishing the job.
McKenzie was drawn to Hayes from the moment she awoke and
saw the tall, dark cowboy who'd rushed to her rescue like
some Western fantasy. With his lean, sexy looks and fierce
protective instincts, the gun-shy bachelor is already
lassoing her heart. But can he protect her from a danger
that's much closer than they think…a killer hiding in
plain
sight who's about to spring a final trap?
