Big Sky Bachelor

By Lesley Ann McDaniel

Janessa Greene is leaving Thornton Springs

All she's ever wanted is to attend cooking school in Seattle. But when a big–shot rodeo rider comes to work on her family's Montana ranch, Janessa's determined not to let the cowboy distract her from her goal–no matter how charming he is.

Micah was a rodeo star, but he's been trampled by one bull too many. While he's deciding his next move, he gets sidetracked by a pretty cowgirl who's headed out of town. Can Micah convince her to take a chance on a cowboy ready to put down roots?

Wit and wisdom shine through in this feel-good tale of love gone right. If you're looking for a happy ending, there's one in the pages of Big Sky Bachelor, book two in the Montana Hearts series by newcomer Lesley Ann McDaniel. All Janessa Greene wants is to attend a prestigious cooking school in Seattle not find love in her Montana home town. Why then is it so hard to ignore Micah, a handsome cowboy with a mysterious past?Like Lights, Cowboy, Action, the first novel in this series, Big Sky Bachelor entertains while it delivers something of substance. This book contrasts the value of home and family with the inevitable choices of having a wider dream. These are tough waters to navigate, but the author manages her craft with finesse. While the story contains romantic tension, this is a clean romance that focuses on love over lust.I recommend Big Sky Bachelor for readers who enjoy an inspirational sweet romance. This book is teen approved because of its wholesome portrayal of romantic love.Reviewed by Janalyn Voigt, author of Dawnsinger
