I've enjoyed the Big Sky Mavericks series overall, and like having the interconnected characters and getting updates on characters from other Montana Born series. I found it difficult to get into this book, however. There wasn't anything wrong with the story or writing, but I just couldn't identify with the characters and therefore found myself struggling to push through at times. Based on reading the other reviews, I think that a lot of readers would be quite happy with this book, it just wasn't for me.

it was as expected for typical modern romance novels. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy it, because I did. It delivered exactly what it was supposed to: a moment of escape into the world of two people falling in love and resenting every minute of it. I can't really say much more other than that I would read more from this author if ever in the need of a good romance. Her style is fluid and the characters are entertaining. ( )

I loved this book. It was just so real and down to earth, a very natural and relatable story. Flynn is dealing with the death of someone he couldn't save. He's looking for a fresh start and taking over Marietta's SAR is just what he needs. Burned by a previous marriage, he's protecting his heart and is playing it safe.

Kat has a "death sentence" hanging over her head, in the form of potential early onset Alzheimer's. A single mom to a son with Asperger's syndrome, she lost her husband to divorce, her mom to Alzheimer's and a father with no identity. Hoping for some answers she moved to Marietta and found a job with SAR, but after more than a year she still didn't have the nerve to follow through on confronting the man she suspects is her father.

Together Flynn and Kat have this great chemistry that complements each other and they make a great team. The attraction is blatant between them but neither wants a messy entanglement in the workplace

I think Brady is the real hero of this book. I just loved his character. He really knows his mind. He's clear on his target and so focussed. Even though his plan went awry he was still able to achieve what he set out to do. Find a family for himself and his mom.

As always you will meet many of the Montana series favorites and a few new characters that will make the basis for a few more Big Sky Mavericks titles.

Excellent addition to the Big Sky Mavericks! This is a wonderfully written story of two people trying to put their pasts behind them and find a brighter future. Kat Robinson came to Marietta to give her and her son Brady a fresh start. And maybe, just maybe, to find out a little more about her mother's past. Flynn Bensen came to Marietta to get past the memories of a recent rescue gone bad. When he meets Kat Robinson on his first day he can't help but wonder exactly what he's gotten himself in to. The attraction between them is scorching, but being her boss makes her strictly hands off!! Right??

I loved this story and would recommend to everyone! ( )
