One of her earlier romances. A sweet read. ( )

The Barons and the Murdocks have been feuding for generations and feisty Jillian Baron and arrogant Aaron Murdock are determined to continue the tradition. That is until the day they actually meet in person and sparks begin to fly.

Reads like an older less politically correct version of Montana Sky.

Although the story is engaging and the characters fleshed out well, it is obviously an older work with themes that may rub contemporary readers the wrong way, such as Aaron’s overbearing sexual aggression and refusal to take no for an answer or Jillian’s strength of will evaporating the moment Aaron lays hands on her.

Nevertheless, the romance is intense and spicy, and the cattle rustling subplot adds an extra tension to the proceedings although the villain’s identity is rather obvious.

All in all, a well written romance recommended for fans of the incomparable Nora Roberts while they are waiting for her newest release. ( )

Montana rancher Jillian Baron has no intention of taking help running her sprawling cattle ranch, especially not from neighbor and family enemy Aaron Murdock. Once he sets eyes on Jillian, Aaron has no intention of taking no for an answer, especially not when cattle rustlers start targeting the Baron spread.

Picked it up for $.10 at Good Will - money well spent. As always, a strong, independent heroine and leading man to match her. Roberts writes a lovely story, and did even when she was churning them out for Silhouette. ( )

Jillian Baron is trying to run her ranch, Aaron Murdock is her heriditery enemy. ( )
