Review of Big
Sky Country by Linda Lael Miller
4 out of 5 smirks
Synopsis: "The illegitimate son of a wealthy rancher, Sheriff Slade Barlow grew up in a trailer hitched to the Curly-Burly hair salon his mother runs. He was never acknowledged by his father—until now. Suddenly, Slade has inherited half of Whisper Creek Ranch, one of the most prosperous in Parable, Montana. That doesn’t sit well with his half brother, Hutch, who grew up with all the rights of a Carmody. Including the affections of Joslyn Kirk, homecoming queen, rodeo queen, beauty queen—whom Slade has never forgotten.
But Joslyn is barely holding her head up these days as she works to pay back everyone her crooked stepfather cheated. With a town to protect—plus a rebellious teenage stepdaughter—Slade has his hands full. But someone has to convince Joslyn that she’s responsible only for her own actions. Such as her effect on this lawman’s guarded heart."
Big Sky Country by Linda Lael Miller is a story about trusting your instinct and having the courage to go after what you want. At first I thought this story was extremely awkward because the two main characters didn't really converse in the way of actually talking. Slade and Joslyn seem to have this eerie connection where they know one another on a different wave length than everyone else. The less they seem to talk, the more they seem to know about one another. To be honest, at first I was turned off by how this author set up this romance story. I like knowing what the characters talk about and this story was mainly about descriptive thinking. Although after reading this story I can see the brilliance Linda Lael Miller brings to her books, by making them unlike any other romance books out there today. So even though I didn't really like the way the characters just cruise by one another, I'm smart enough to admit the brilliance of this story because I know I didn't put the book down until I was finished. I give Big Sky Country by Linda Lael Miller 4 smirks because brilliance is brilliance and this story was brilliant.
