More than a love story, Big Sky River is an incredibly heartwarming story of healing from a devastating loss and finding love where it is least expected. To read my review in its entirety, please click HERE. ( ) It all started with a widower, a busted knee and a chicken rancher. Sheriff Boone is a good man with some serious heartache. His wife died young and left him with two child that his sister is raising for him. He has not been able to step out of is depression and care for them himself since see died. He can barely take basic care of himself. He has lived a lonely life not looking for anything more than just getting by. Things change fast when his sister's husband get's hurt and he has to take his kids and face life as a single father. Tara, a divorced woman from New York is living just down the road and trying to start a new life as a chicken rancher. She had an ugly divorce and had to leave two step daughters behind that are the children of her heart. Her ex calls one day to ask her to watch the girls for a brief period so he can run wild with his new girlfriend. She is so giddy with excitement to have them back in her life. Now if she could get that ornery sheriff to clean up his property... These two argue, bicker, snap, and sneer at each other and just don't like each other much. Well, that is until Opel, the local unofficial matchmaker sings in and brings her magic with her. A fantastic love story, filled with good people and good deeds. You can't beat this author if you're looking for a HEA read. I fell in love with Boone, because he’s real. People grieve in different ways. When his wife died it was hard for him to accept. He folded! It was good that he had his sister and brother-in-law to step in. At that point in his life he’d lost both parents at the same time, followed a few years later by his young wife. When he went to bring his sons back to Parable, it was the beginning of his rebirth. Even though they were his sons, he was scared out of his mind, with the thought of raising them. The growth/change in him was the best part of the book. As far as Dr. James Lennox goes, the only thing he did right was to give Tara temporary custody. Comparing Boone and James, the sheriff gets to gold and the doctor doesn’t place. I would have felt better about him, had he married Bethany and had more children. There was no positive growth here at all.
Reviewed by Jen Book provided by NetGalley for review Review originally posted at Romancing the Book I’ve been a longtime fan of Linda Lael Miller and this story didn’t disappoint. It’s the third in her series based in Parable, Montana, but it stands well on it’s own. Like most series, it would be helpful to have read the prior books for a little back ground of the supporting characters. But there is no overarcing theme to where the reader would be lost if they were making their first visit to Parable with this book. Big Sky River was a pretty fast read. The story is all about the romance between Tara and Boone. There’s no mystery, suspense or even a third party trying to tear them apart. It’s a straight forward tale of two people having to overcome their own hangups to find love. But that said, I was drawn into the story pretty quickly and read it in one sitting because I just had to get to the happily ever after. Boone’s a widower and still hasn’t gotten over his wife’s death. In his grief, he sent his two young sons to live with their aunt and uncle. But now a family emergency has those boys coming home. He’s not sure how to deal with the kids, especially since he’s the town sheriff. And then there is Tara, his new neighbor. She’s a big city girl who has moved to Parable after leaving her marriage and career. She’s settling into town, making friends and trying not to notice her neighbor, but things get all turned upside down when her step daughters come to visit. I wasn’t sure how Ms Miller was going to bring together Boone and Tara. Both characters had issues to overcome as the dealt with their attraction. And neither really wanted to fall in love after past heartbreak. They were both very relateable, which made their story so sweet and in the end satisfying. I am always happy to recommend a Linda Lael Miller book. Although at times her stories can be cookie-cutter (how many times can you base a series on a couple brothers and their friend who all live in a small town?), I still find them to be good, solid reads and each unique in their own way. Ms Miller always seems to touch my heart-strings, which is why I look forward to whatever is coming next. Contenido enTiene la adaptaciónInspirado
Fiction.
Romance.
HTML: Sheriff Boone Taylor has his job, friends, a run-down but decent ranch, two faithful dogs and a good horse. He doesn't want romance--the widowed Montanan has loved and lost enough for a lifetime. But when a city woman buys the spread next door, Boone's peace and quiet are in serious jeopardy. With a marriage and a career painfully behind her, Tara Kendall is determined to start over in Parable. Reinventing herself and living a girlhood dream is worth the hard work. Sure, she might need help from her handsome, wary neighbor. But life along Big Sky River is full of surprises...like falling for a cowboy-lawman who just might start to believe in second chances.
