Book Review: Montana Maverick by Debra Salonen

montana maverickMeg Zabrinski and Henry Firestone used to sit on the opposite end of the political spectrum. Meg was all for the reintroduction of the wolf in Montana while Henry was against it, claiming like the other ranchers that the wolves are a danger to their cattle.

So, when Henry’s helicopter crashed on Meg’s land during a snowstorm on Christmas Eve, there was wariness between them. But, is it because they were old rivals or is it because there was attraction between them even though their beliefs are different?

Add the fact that Henry comes with a ready-made family, three children plus a baby! Meg’s biological clock was ticking and wants to have a baby so much before it was too late. Are the children part of the attraction or are they a turn off? After all, they are not hers?

Montana Maverick ” will resonate will older readers. With young heroes and heroines in most romance novels, the fact that Meg and Henry are older makes it an interesting read.

Montana Maverick ” is Rated T for Teens. There are no sex scenes but it is implied.

Description

Be careful what you wish for-

Meg Zabrinski, successful scientist, well-known environmental advocate, and tenured professor is as independent as they come in Montana. She doesn’t need a man in her life, but she does want to have a baby. She retreats to her isolated mountain cabin to write and ponder her future when Henry Firestone–an old rival and former secret crush from her distant past–drops out of the sky on Christmas Eve with three young children and a baby. Meg doesn’t believe in cosmic signs, but even she realizes she’d be crazy not to consider all her options.

The sparks that have always smoldered between them ignite a mutual passion, but when Henry Firestone makes it clear he’s done having children, Meg is forced to accept that falling in love with Henry and his ready-made family would require her to abandon her dream. Can this “Lone Wolf” assimilate into a new pack, or is this Big Sky Maverick meant to be alone?
