My Review: R. C. Ryan is a brand new author to me. This story was a fast read. I liked the story line. The cover is wonderfully illustrated and gives the reader a glimpse of what lies in Montana Glory.
Zane and Riley, the main characters, are funny at times, serious and then, of course, romantic. Well, I use the word romantic lightly since Zane has a tendency to just grab Riley and smash a kiss on her. I guess, this works well in fiction but I had a hard time with this type of "romance." Most men in the "real world" tend to be gentlemen and would romance a lady with flowers and some sweet words before forcing a kiss on her.
The plot was fine. I realized as I was reading this book that I truly do not enjoy "worldly" fiction. This read had quite a few "cuss" words that I would not allow in my home or that I refuse to use. There are also scenes that I would describe as "R" rated scenes where a little chasity would have done Zane and Riley a whole of good!
It's REALLY too bad that there were so many "extras" in this read because the plot and story were great as was the flow of the story.
To be honest there just wasn't a lot of "meat" in this read. I like a story that "gives" me something and leaves me with a feeling that my time was well spent after reading the book.
If you enjoy books with fast action, ALOT of "smut" and can get past the curse words, then you might enjoy this book.
I give this book 3 stars because I feel like there are better adjectives that can be used to describe a character's feelings!
