I am currently reading all the "Bride" books in this MONTANA BORN series. I am new to contemporary romances, usually preferring historical romances, so my preferences may color my review.THE GOOD: In most contemporary romances I identify more with the hero than the leading lady. I honestly think its because many modern heroines seem to be a little too free in the sexual department. This is the first heroine of the series that I actually felt a connection to. Both lead characters are well written. The author does a great job with the setting, and the story is realistic. I felt like I could know these people in my own town. The main characters are cops, snd there is just enough of the job to make the story feel grounded. I also thought the author portrayed the parents in a believable way.The bad: ok, label me a prude. There is one sex scene, in a truck in her driveway, right out in public. I have a problem with that. It really was not necessary to the story, and they are both cops. They should know better. Its tacky, and illegal. It was not sexy to me, while the rest of the book was done very well.Overall: I would suggest this book to anyone who regularly reads contemporary romance. It has a nice story that felt substantial, and different enough to keep you interested. I will be finishing this series, and would read this author again.
