Montana Dreams by Jillian Hart
4 STARS Boy was I surprised by the ending how soon it came. Thier is over 60 pages left on my ebook. A whole other story for me to read. Nice surprise for me though. Millie Wilson and her nine year old son Simon have come back home to take care of her dying dad. She has not been back since he kicked her out when she was pregnant. Time has been tough for Millie since she lost her job nine months ago. When she is at the store getting groceries the first day she runs into Hunter. Her old boyfriend and Simon's father. She is afraid it will take one look and he will know that she had his baby 9 years ago. Hunter is surprised to see her back in town. It hurts him to realize that she had a child by another man. He broke up with her and then she left town he thought for a different guy who would give her love and marriage. Which he told her the night before she left. Hunter's father was not a good man and he saw his parents always fighting. He was never going to get married he was sure that love did not last. Hunter also good see how much of a bind she was in trying to take care of her father and son. Plus the hands all left because thier paychecks bounced again. The cows all still had to be milked twice a day. Milton was too old now to do it by himself and called Hunter to see if he could help. Milton was in charge of the dairy and he had taught Hunter how to take care of a dairy. So he would help and not run into Millie. Of course the first thing he did was run into her helping to milk the cows. Millie was falling for Hunter again and was worried about that. Millie's father was a mean man. He had turned everyone away with his bad attitude. He believed you live and then you die thats all. Both Hunter and Millie during the time they were apart had turned to God and put him into thier lives. I really liked the story. Liked how Hunter talked tough and wanting to protect his heart but he still reached out and tried to help Millie in anyway that he could. Hunter for how close he was to his brother and sisters. Millie wanted to be independant but did accept help when she needed to but also was willing to help back. Key Witness by Terri Reed Is the bonus short story at the end of the book. It is short. Miss Kristin Conrad saw a man over the body of her neighbor. Kristin made it out of apartment building. Detective Andy Howell is working the case. He noticed her right off and knew it was not a good time. After Kristin ided the murder snd he was found still someone broke into her apartment and searched it. Kristin and Andy did not want to taking a risk in romance change their minds. Both books were good and had nothing in them was objectional. 08/25/2012 PUB Harlequin Imprint Harlequin Love Inspired ( )
