Montana Legacy by R. C. Ryan
This is a fairly predictable romance that takes place on a ranch in Montana, but I truly enjoyed it. It’s not a great book, it’s just a nice, tender romance. I had tears in my eyes a few times, but just because I’m me and cry easily over fiction. (Which is why I avoid tearjerkers.)
Jesse is the cowboy who grew up on the ranch, and now, after his grandfather’s death, owns it. His two cousins, who he hasn’t seen since they were children, come back for the funeral and stay. They’ve both missed the ranch and family in their own ways and now see the opportunity to make it home again.
Amy, a neighbor’s daughter, is also back in town for another reason, but she and Jesse were in love when they were teenagers and of course are still attracted to each other.
The heat that sizzled through his veins was like an electrical charge causing him to jerk back. But not before he caught the look of surprise in her eyes. Surprise and something more. If he didn’t know better, he’d swear he saw a quick flash of heat. But that was probably just his pride tricking him into believing in something that wasn’t there, and hadn’t been for years. (pg. 43)
I told you it was predictable, didn’t I? The romance plays out against the cousins’ search for the legendary McCord treasure that their grandfather had been devoted to finding.
There’s a little danger and some tension. Gold Rush is a town where everyone knows everyone else, secrets and all. Gossip about Jesse and Amy, the three cousins and the treasure hunt runs rampant, but who is actually trying to kill Amy and why? Is Jesse actually their target?
Although there’s a lot of passion involved, there’s only one sex scene and it takes place in a barn. That may be why cowboys aren’t really my thing. Sex in a barn doesn’t seem romantic or sexy to me, more itchy and sneezy and miserable. Oh, and smelly.

No need to enter me, my friend. I’m dropping in to say thanks for the e-mail. I’ve got this posted at Win a Book for you. (and despite our gorgeous weather, I think it’s snowing in Montana. At least, there’s snow at Old Faithful in Yellowstone today!)
I really want to read this,please count me in for the giveaway
What a generous giveaway you are having… please drop my name in the hat… of I agree with Blodeuedd… I have not read anything with cowboys in some time now…
Haha, sex in a barn! I would imagine it could get very smelly in a barn, especially if someone was too busy doing something else (you know what!) to actually keep the barn tidy, eh! I so wanna read this!
I’m attracted to tearjerkers like bees to honey. I can’t help it. LOL. This one sounds good, Carol. Predictability can be a good thing. And I love happy endings!
i’m interested in this book…thanks for the chance to read it.
Many, many, many years ago, I read a western romance and didn’t like. I turned me off of this genre for a long time. Then last year, I tried another western romance and loved it. Now I’m hooked on them. So yeah, cowboys are most certainly MY THING!
I look forward in reading Montana Legacy.
Thanks.
