Synopsis (from amazon.com):
Meg McKettrick longs for a baby—husband optional. Perfect father material is gorgeous Brad O'Ballivan, old flame and new owner of his family's ranch in Stone Creek. But Meg—as strong, proud and stubborn as her ancestors on Indian Rock's Triple M ranch—wants to do things her way…the McKettrick way. And Brad feels just as strongly about the O'Ballivan way…
Love, marriage, babies and a lifetime to share—that's what Brad wants. Not a single night of pasion, an unexpected pregnancy and a woman who won't budge. For a rugged rodeo cowboy who never gives up, it's a battle of wills he intends to win…and nothing matters more than claiming Meg's wild McKettrick heart.
Review:
The above synopsis fails to give all of the plot, although for a simple romance novel I suppose it really doesn't need to. Part of the plot that I enjoyed (but don't get spoilery here) was the fact that Meg and Brad had a history together. They had been childhood sweethearts. I also liked that Linda Lael Miller used Meg and Brad to link two of her big romance novel families together.
As far as a romance novel goes, it was sweet, light fare. The plot was typical of romance novels: boy and girl meet (again), the attraction is undeniable but something keeps them apart, they struggle through the obstacles, and ultimately declare their love and live happily ever after. Did I spoil it for you?
Meg is a fairly likable character, although flat in some areas. Her emotions did not always seem fully developed, while Brad almost always seemed to get the author's full attention. Brad was allowed to work his way through a myriad of issues, while Meg got shorted. Still, you can't fault the author entirely because there is only so much you can do in 60,000-ish words.
I liked the plot elements that linked several of her books together. That was a nice treat for anyone who has read several books in her series before. However, the book can stand alone. If you are looking for a fun, light read, I recommend this book.
