I tend to stay away from the whole Texas, cowboy thing (I usually find them pretty boring, or at least, overdone). But I liked this first book in the new McKettrick series enough that I'll eventually pick up the subsequent books to read the stories of Tate's brothers. Good start. 2.5 stars. I don't read a lot of Westerns but I thought I'd give this one a try. Tate is the eldest McKettrick brother. The McKettricks are filthy rich (they're compared to Ewings in the book). He's divorced from bitchy wife Cheryl and has twin 6 year old daughters. His old flame is Libby Remington - they were going out until Tate "knocked Cheryl up" when he was away in college and had to marry her. I thought the conflict was a bit glossed over - after all, Tate cheated on Libby and dumped her when Cheryl got pregnant. Libby had been humiliated as the whole town knew what had happened and pitied her. Even though years had passed, I didn't quite buy the "I forgave you ages ago" thing. While I didn't think Tate would cheat on her again, I wondered if that was a proximity thing (ie, he was planning to stick close to Libby anyway) and I wondered why Libby thought he wouldn't cheat. There were a LOT of characters in this book and some of them I, frankly didn't understand why they were there. They didn't seem to add anything to the forward movement of the plot (eg, the lawnmower/ostrich lady). I think Ms. Miller has written many McKettrick books and even though this is the first in the most recent series, I wondered if the other characters had been in previous books and appeared in this one as a "catch up" for fans. The sex scenes were pretty hot and I liked how Tate was with his daughters but in the end the book didn't really grab me. I LOVE Linda Lael Miller's books! I saw the trailer for this series out on the book blogosphere and I knew I needed to add this series to my list of MUST READS! I love how the author makes all the character's likeable...even Tate's manipulative ex-wife! The tension between Libby and Tate is PHEMONINAL! In my opinion that tension and history that they share really made the story for me. Let's talk about Tate for a minute....THERE IS SOMETHING INCREDIBLY HOT ABOUT A GUY WHO PUTS PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY ELSE FIRST and then thinks about himself after everyone else's needs are taken care of. Oh, and the fact that he see's himself as just a "normal guy" who happens to have a BOATLOAD of MONEY! There is plenty of humor, drama, love scenes and interactions with Tate's little girls to really keep the story going at a fast clip. I guess my only "gripe" with the book was that the ending was a little predictable (in a good way of course) but that's about it. I had a very hard time putting this one down to basic everyday things. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"There are barely enough hours for divorced dad Tate McKettrick to run the Silver Spur ranch, do the suit-and-tie thing for his business and run herd on his beloved six-year-old twin daughters. But time stands still at the sight of Libby Remington. When they were high school sweethearts, the wealthy McKettrick couldn't convince Libby he loved her. But now they're both back in Blue River, Texas. And cattle rustlers, a manipulative ex-wife and a killer stallion can't keep him from trying again. Libby has her hands full taking care of her mother--and running the Perk Up Coffee Shot. Caffeine, she needs. Tate McKettrick, with his blazing blue eyes and black hair? No. Oh, heck--yes. But can they really hope for a second chance?"--p. [4] of cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
