Wrong narrator

The narrator was good, but wrong for this book. The voice just did not seem right.

Great book

Great book, great author. Can’t wait to start the next book in the series soon

Cowboys & Montana.....(SIGH)

As always Linda Lael Miller brings together perfection, perfect setting, perfect story line, perfect romance. I loved the Creed and the McKettrick series from Miller and this one fits the bill as well. Jack Garrett does an excellent job at narration, he just has that great 'cowboy' voice. Wonderful book to just set back listen and cuddle in on a good, nice, dreamy, rainy day.

A Great Pay Back!

Joslyn Kirk returns to Parable, Montana her previous hometown that she and her mother left under a cloud of suspicion. Joslyn's step father had hatched a scheme and embezzaled money from many of the citizens of town causing many to lose everything they had. She runs into Slade Barlow the illegitimate son of one of the wealthiest ranchers of the area. A major problem in Slade's life is Slade's father never acknowledged him while he was living, but upon his death he left Slade half of his assests, which sends his half brother into a tizzy. When Joslyn had lived in Parable before she and Hutch (Slade's half brother) were an item, however now it seems that Slade and Joslyn are feeling the sparks between them.
Now the big question for everyone is "Why has Joslyn returned to town?"
This is an easy read, very predictable romance, however the journey was good. I enjoyed it and Slade is such a jewel, what woman wouldn't want him?

Another hit for LLM!

Big fan of Linda Lael Miller. No book will ever top 'High Country Bride' for me but I'm always hopefull. 'Big Sky Country' is a good read/listen.

SO - SO !!!

What did you like best about Big Sky Country? What did you like least?

I thought the overall story was a bit weak.and I kept wanting things to hurry along.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

No

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I really don't think there is much insight in this story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

When he did the voices he was pretty good, but the narrating was flat.

Enjoyable story, but...

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the story itself. The reader did an excellent job with identifying the characters and their moods. Over all I would gladly recommend this read to others; my one mark to the negative relates to the intimate scene sharing too much detail. I find alluding to their intimacy more satisfying than excessive details being spelled out. Fortunately this is a minimal part of the whole story.

LIked it enough to buy more in the series.

What did you love best about Big Sky Country?

It is a believable escape with the right amount of detail.

What did you like best about this story?

By the end of the story I felt like I had been to this town and knew the people.

What about Jack Garrett’s performance did you like?

He never distracted from the story.

Any additional comments?

This book did a good job of introducing me to a new setting and new characters without getting bogged down in description. Once I got to the end I bought the rest of the available books in the series.

Disappointment

I love Miller's Creed and McKettrick series. This story was slow and boring. Very wordy and badly edited. I amost gave up and sent back. Are the others in this series the same?

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!

I usually enjoy Ms. Miller’s books but this one was full of emotionally stunted, adolescent dialogue that I endured hoping to get more details about Kendra’s husband and hi missing daughter who is revealed in the sequel to this book. Overall, The whole series was a disappointment.
