I have very few books on my "keeper" shelf, but Linda Lael Miller's are often there. Her cowboys, both historical and contemporary, are men you want as friends and lovers. And her writing often makes me re-read a sentence or paragraph. An example:
"When she got in the Blazer and went to finish out her workday, she left a hole in the fabric of the day that he had no idea how to weave back together."
Someone reviewed this series on Amazon and was dismayed that some of the love scenes were explicit. I disagree. I often read Ellora's Cave books; THOSE are explicit. Ms. Miller's are sweet and sensuous.
If you haven't read books by this author, I highly recommend them.

This is an interesting follow-up to the first book in the series.
As the reader, I did want to know how things would work out for Dylan
and Kristy. The writing was similar to Book 1.
It is good "escape from it all" text.

This is no. 2 in the Montana Creeds Trilogy. Dylan is the middle brother who's been living hard and fast as a rodeo cowboy/stuntman/financier. When his ex-girlfriend decides to drop off his 2-year old daughter for Dylan to raise, he realizes that it's time to settle down. And, return to Stillwater Springs Ranch, where he was born and raised as a kid. There he bumps into older brother, Logan, and his wife and two sons. (See no. 1 in the Trilogy.) He also has to face the girl he left behind several years ago, and he winds up falling in love with her all over again. The passion between the two of them is electric!!
A good book, and I'm looking forward to reading no. 3 and meeting the youngest brother, Tyler.

An excellent continuation of the Montana Creeds series -more excellent character development, and ties in so well with Logan (part one of the series). More Linda Lael Miller supremacy!

Dylan's story is a sweet one. After a poker game one night, Dylan gets an uneasy feeling that he is not alone. He's right, he's not and his world is about to change forever. Bonnie, his 2 year old daughter is waiting in his truck, alone. Her mother has claimed that she can no longer take care of her and that now it is Dylan's job to do so.
Dylan does the only thing he can think of and takes his daughter back home to Stillwater Springs, Montana. He also looks up the one woman who had ever meant anything to him: Kristy Madison, town librarian. Can he and Kristy work through their past and make a future together?
Like I said, Dylan's story is a sweet one. Bonnie really adds to the story line and so does a mystery that doesn't crowd the romance. It's a very good and very fast read!

Dylan is the second in the Montana Creed's trilogy. Well written and captures your imagination.
It was a terrific read. All three in this series were very good.

Book two in the Montana Creeds, continues this fasinating story with a little bit of intrigue.
I love the characters and how they interact with each other. There is always a surprise in the story and I like trying to figure it out before it happens. She tells a good tale.
Dylan Creed returned home after years of following the rodeo and riding bulls. An ex-girlfriend dropped off his daughter so he decided to return home and settle down. The story is second in the Montana Creed trilogy and further develops characters who appeared in the first book. It's full of romance and suspense. It will leave you anxious to read the third book in the series.

This is the 2nd book in the trilogy and it was great and also had some lead in for the next and final book.

Great story of 3 brothers and a desire by the eldest to clean up 'the family name.' Be sure to read all 3.

We read lots of stories about single moms but Dylan Creed is a single dad. Not by choice but because the mother of his daughter abandons the child in Dylan's truck while he is playing poker. Ill equipped to care for a child, Dylan decides to head back to Stillwater Springs Montana where he was raised. Soon after arriving he bumps into Kristy Madison, the woman who at one time meant everything to him. Kristy is still drawn to Dylan and is very taken with his daughter Bonnie.
Kristy is confronted with secrets from her past that place her in danger. Who is always there to protect her? Dylan of course. They have lots of issues related to their past to work through as they each begin to dream of a future together as a family of three.
In the meantime Dylan is trying to work through the complicated situation with his brothers Logan and Tyler that came to a head after their father's funeral. Can the brothers be brought together? Part of the answer is here and Ms Miller is making us wait until book 3 of the trilogy - Tyler's story - to give us the final answer.
Dylan's story is a wonderful read and I recommend it.

Great continuation from the first book. Couldnt put it down
Warning - SPOILER ALERTS:
I read book 3 first and there are just too many similarities. Really it's almost the same story down to having to pay off your baby's momma for custody.
The characters obviously have past issues that are never really discussed. They just miraculously move on once they start sleeping together and falling in love. It's hard to see a couple who don't work together on an emotional level and believe they will have a happily ever after. On top of that, Kristy is fond of games, so it makes their relationship really shallow.
What I do love throughout the whole series are the interaction between brothers. They goat each other and annoy the hell out of each other but when it comes down to it, they have each others' backs.
It wasn't a horrible read but definitely not her best work.
