Review Disclaimer: I will not go into in depth plot detail, other reviewers will do that much better than I would. My usual preferred reading genre is historical romance, so my review may reflect that.The good: I loved the hero! I find in contemporary romances, I identify more with the heroes than the leading ladies. I found this hero to be well written, he definitely retained his maleness!  I also loved the setting, the author did a great job keeping both the Montana feel and the Australian flavor. I want to go to Broome! She also did a great job with secondary characters, and with giving this a complete story and ending. Not often the case with series books.The bad: A few things are brought up and dropped or never explained. Mitch, our hero, has a sister and apparently something awful happened to her. She is mentioned, is the catalyst for how the hero reacts to Scarlette, but we never know the what or why of it. I think the author missed a great opportunity, even a few sentences would have helped. I also think she missed the mark on some of the character attitudes towards sex. How and why the characters meet initially is a pretty shocking situation, even by today's moral attitude. I dont think Scarlette was as concerned about it as she would be, and why he was there is never talked about between the two of them, but they did talk about why she was ther. I think that is something ANY woman would be wanting to know going forward in a relationship.Overall: I have enjoyed each book in the series as I have read them. This was a quick read, but fun. You do not have to have read the other book to enjoy this one, they are all independent. I would recommend this to contemporary romance readers who want a quick read and enjoy hot guys and interesting settings.
