Features & Highlights

  • Wild Horses Couldn't Drag Him Away From Her Raised beneath the big Montana sky, Matt Malloy was never meant to be a jet-setting businessman. But he'll do anything to protect the family ranch he shares with his brothers. Coming home after a two-week trip to Italy, Matt wants nothing more than to shed his suit and tie for a well-worn pair of jeans and ride his horse up to the cabin for some alone time. The last thing he needs is a big-city lawyer invading his privacy-even if she is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen . . . Vanessa Kettering has devoted her life to her work. As a passionate animal rights defender, she doesn't have room for anything else. But from the moment she meets Matt, she's taken with this rugged cowboy's lazy smile and tender touch. When a raging storm traps them inside his cabin for the night, one steamy kiss leads to another, sweeping them away with a force that's as wild and untamed as the land he loves. But when the morning light comes, will she lose her heart?

A sweet, endearing read.

MATT is the first book in a new romance series, The Malloys of Montana. This series is about 3 brothers, Matt, Luke and Reed. There is a whole cast of characters that make this story fun and entertaining. There's the grandparents Frank and Gracie, the great-grandfather and Uncle Colin. Not to mention Yancy, the cook and Burke, the ranch hand.
True to her style of writing, she gives us great characters with an engaging plot line that leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next thing to happen.
Matt is the oldest of the 3 brothers. He feels responsible for his brothers ever since his parents were killed when he was young. Even though he is surrounded by love and support, he feels alone. He is the businessman of the ranch and makes sure that the ranch is profitable and venturing in
When his grandmother asks him to meet with the lawyer about animals' rights, he didn't anticipate Vanessa.
She is much prettier than he expected. While there is an immediate attraction, they know that she is going home.
It's only after she gets word from her father that things are not good at home. She needs to go into hiding. To protect her from a client of her father's. As her life unravels, Matt steps in to help and offers to have her stay at the ranch for as long as she needs.
This is when things start to heat up. They act on the attraction and find that they are perfect for each other.
Of course there are pitfalls along the way, but it's a sweet story. The author doesn't go into details in her scenes.
Like most of her books, I would recommend anything written by this author!!
