Series: Montana Mavericks: Six Brides for Six Brothers (Book 1)Montana Mavericks (Book 122)
A single mom, her baby girl…
And maverick make three!
Logan Crawford might just be the perfect man. From the
top of his Stetson to his pointy-toed boots, he is 100 percent cowboy. A girl
would have to be a fool to turn him down. Or a coward.
Sarah Turner thinks she might be both. But the single mom
has no time for love and no inclination to be the sexy rancher's “just for
now.” Logan, however, is determined to steal her heart!
Fantastic story that sucked me in from the first page and
kept me enthralled to the very end. Sarah is an accountant and a single mother.
As the story opens, she's working with the local wedding planners on trying to
find a way they can come up with the money they need. She's there when newcomer
Max Crawford arrives with a business proposition for them. He'll pay them a
million dollars if the wedding planners can find brides for his six sons. Sarah
is appalled, as is his oldest son, Logan when he arrives in time to overhear
his father's plans. Well aware of Max's tendency to manipulate, Logan is far
more interested in Sarah than his father's latest plot.
I loved the first meeting between Logan and Sarah. The
attraction between them is immediate. Logan is all in with getting to know her
and seeing what kind of fun they can have together. He's a bit taken aback when
he finds out she has an infant daughter, but that doesn't hold him back. Sarah,
on the other hand, plans to ignore the attraction. She's been burned twice and
has no intention of trusting a man ever again. It was fun to see Logan working so
hard to get past her initial objections. When he hires Sarah to set up the
books for the family ranch, she tries to keep things on a business-only basis,
but Logan is a force to be reckoned with. I loved watching him pop into the
office regularly to check on her, never really pushing but just being there. It
wasn't long before he broke through part of her defenses by letting her know he
isn't looking for anything permanent. That matches her own feelings, so they start
spending time together.
I loved seeing Logan go from fun-and-games only to
thinking long term. He's carrying some baggage from his mother's desertion of
the family when he was a kid, so belief in happy-ever-after hasn't been there.
But the more time he spends with Sarah and little Sophia, the more his thinking
changes. I loved the way he reacted to Sarah's past, wanting to do things that
showed her how special she was. He was a master at doing things to make her
life easier, even though he often had to work to get her to accept that help. I
loved how Sophia had him wrapped around her little fingers. The scene with the
two of them the night that Sarah fell asleep was beautiful. As time goes on the
attraction between Logan and Sarah continues to burn hot, and they spend as
much time together as they can. I loved seeing Sarah let Logan into her and
Sophia's lives and how happy they are. Sarah feels herself getting in deeper,
but won't let herself believe that it could last. I cried for both of them when
she allowed her fears to push Logan away. The depth of his heartbreak made my
heart hurt for him. I hurt for Sarah too, but I also wanted to shake her for
not believing in Logan or herself. It took an eye-opening conversation with her
mom to break down the last of her walls, but it was a conversation with an
unexpected visitor that gave her the push she needed. I loved her big moment at
the end. The epilogue was great. I especially loved its location.
The secondary characters were great. First among them was
Max, father of six boys and master manipulator. There is some mystery to why he
is so determined to marry them off after years of discouraging any thoughts of
settling down. I had some trouble liking him because of his attitude toward
Sarah. I loved seeing Logan push back and stand his ground against Max's
interference. It will be interesting to see his actions over the rest of the
books. Sarah's parents were interesting with their extreme difference from the
way they were when she was growing up. That influence on the young Sarah affected
who she became and she didn't know how to deal with the changes. I liked the growth
of the relationship between Sarah and her mom. I'm intrigued by Sarah's best
friend, Lily. I loved how she was always there for Sarah and helped push her
along into getting to know Logan. She also seems to have some self-esteem
issues. I would love to see her end up with one of Logan's brothers.
