Piggy-backing on To Bed a Montana Man, Kyann Waters picks up right where she left readers hanging with Allison's wedding. (I'll try not to give too much away in case you haven't read the first book)Shifting perspectives, we now have Marion as the heroine and when she sets her eyes on the cowboy she wants, she'll do just about anything to get him. But when his price is marriage, she's sure that you can't take the whorehouse out of the whore, no matter where she might be living and she's bound to prove it to him.Ms. Waters does a great job portraying the feisty, very unladylike Marion realistically. While you may not like her as well as you would Allison, you can't help but love her progression and growth from bitterness to joy. The only reason I didn't give this on a 4 Star review was because it seemed to lack some of the depth of character that you found in To Bed A Montana Man and because it had a sudden ending.There were times when the back story didn't seem to match the actions of the characters and what you'd come to expect from them. Some of the tension also seemed contrived, eg. The arguments with Jack, another ranch hand, which are never resolved.This story moved along at a great pace but, suddenly, it is over. It felt like hitting a wall while driving 40 MPH. There was no lead up or transitioning warning you that the big ending is coming so it felt a bit anticlimactic. But don't misunderstand, I thoroughly enjoyed this story but I found I had a tendency to compare it to the first (which is a bit unfair) and I liked the first better.
