In book 2 of the Mint Creek Ranch series, Montana Hart and Sawyer Nelson have had an on-again/off-again relationship since they were kids, but she’s finally had enough and breaks things off with him, permanently. They both try to build separate lives for themselves, but their paths keep crossing and their love for each other keeps building.
I connected with Montana much easier than I did with Sawyer. She’s so totally in love with him, but as the story progresses, she learns how to love herself and treat herself better. I applauded her efforts to grow as a person and make a good life for herself. With Sawyer, his insecurities kept getting in the way of him finding happiness with Montana, and I so wanted to shake him a few times. LOL.
Ms. Dartt’s writing style was smooth and flowed well, but the constant flashbacks slowed the pacing. I was more interested in the H/h’s relationship in the now, not back when they were teenagers, but I’m sure a lot of readers enjoy flashbacks.
My Favorite View is a heart-tugging, second chance western romance, so if cowboys (and gals) in love are your thing, give it a try.

A Promise of Forever (The Seedling Homestead Series Book 3) Kindle Edition by Hilary Dartt
This story focuses on Hannah, the child of Mama Katherine. It also has scenes with the other sisters so you get to catch up on what's going on in all their life.
We hear stories from Mama about Philip and her past life and good tmes they shared. Hannah is a teacher and she feels for a child that is living with relatives but they are not taking care of her properly.
She's had her come over for dinner then even to sleep over and her and Tanner who she's grown to like take her out for Halloween night.
She and her sisters get on the net and investigate about her father. she's busy with chores and schoolwork so Tanner takes her to the city for a long weekend.
Love the people at the orchard and some bitter and sad tears but also tears of joy.
When they return home she is bombarded with decisions to make as her father had given her some good advice. she needs to move on it...
Never saw the ending as it was written but love it, all wrapped up.
Hope there is another story just about mama Katherine and her prior life. I think she deserves a story of her own as we caught glimpses of it in the three stories of the girls.
Travel, love, calm, peace, sadness and so much more in this one.

She gets enough opinions from the doctors but is still having a hard time understanding how her life with go on.

Such troubled starts the girls have had til they reach the Seedling Homestead. Bonus material as more of journey is read...
This is a special read for me because I also have RP, no seeing eye dog and other eye issues and every day is a struggle. So glad I can listen to books.
Love advice given in the book as to how to just get your job done, just in a different manner. Love what Ethan can do for her.
Romance, travel, vision tips, family, making things work and love.

A Summer of Wonder by Hilary Dartt
Great story, feel as if I got two stories for the price of one.
The diary involves a lot of past history and thoughts on many subjects.
Other part of the story is the real life, present time where the daughter is heading off to college soon.
Father of daughter wants a divorce as he's lost his love for his wife. Mother just goes about her business, keeping lists and things to do.
Love the road trip and they end up at Mama Katherine's where they learn so many past secrets that explain a lot of things...
Sisters nudge Sara into fighting for him in their own ways.
Can't wait to read more from this author as she digs into deep thoughts about subjects that matter to me.
Like that different generations are in this book, series each with their own problems in today's world.
Devastating news from Mama Katherine, hits me hard as she has what I have.
Very descriptive and there are not only fun times but sad ones also, passion, adventure, travel and charity work and getting out of their comfort zones.
Excerpt from next book is included at the end. About the author is also included.
