The Brides of Black Mountain (Shiloh's Song and Mending Fences)By D’Ann LindunBlurb: All Shiloh Jamieson dreams of is a chance to make it in the country music business. Unfortunately, her mother—a bitter failure in the biz—stands in Shiloh’s way. Shiloh’s determined not to repeat her mother’s actions—sleeping her way into the Nashville music scene. That is simply not an option.Country music superstar Dillon Travers left Nashville’s bright lights behind for Black Mountain, Colorado, craving peace, solitude and to run his rescue horse ranch. His wife’s death has left him disillusioned with the career he once loved.Can a sassy newcomer and a jaded veteran each find their way together when one desperately wants what the other needs to forget?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Starla Jamieson owns a successful bar and her thriving business enough. She’s never wanted a child of her own because between helping raise her younger brothers and a dozen half-sisters, Starla’s parented plenty. To avoid the motherhood trap, she walked away from the only man she ever wanted. But nobody else has ever been able to fill Trevor Lee’s boots.Trevor Lee has never forgiven Starla for the lie she told him. He’s also never stopped loving her. His head tells him she’s not the right woman for him because he wants a traditional family… and that’s just not Starla. But his heart can’t forget her.When the unexpected consequences of a night of passion forces them to examine their past, they have to decide whether to forgive and forget …or to let love slip away again.Review:The Brides of Black Mountain is a two story novella that features characters from Ms. Lindun’s popular The Cowboys of Black Mountain series. The two stories tell about two half-sisters, Starla and Shiloh who have to deal with being one of the many by-blows of Clem Jamieson, a man who couldn’t keep his “you know what” in his pants. Both girls question love and loyalty but are so caring and loving towards everyone.I really connected with Shiloh and Starla. They are hardworking and dedicated. Shiloh reaches for her dreams of music stardom. Starla’s determined not to repeat a mistake she made, no more lies. Each of them deserved their chance at happiness.In my mind, Dillon was Keith Urban. Hot and hunky with a great voice to boot! Trevor is a man I’d love to get to know better as well. Who doesn’t love a man who is willing to do the right thing!Ms. Lindun’s books draw the reader in and engage you with the exciting characters and storyline. The Brides of Black Mountain is able to be read as a stand alone but contains many of your favorite characters from her other books. Reading them all will deepen your appreciation of the backstory as you get to visit with old friends.I recommend The Brides of Black Mountain and all of D’Ann’s Black Mountain books. Her cowboys are sexy and full of character. :)
