Montana Darling by Debra Salonen: Mia Zabrinski had a pretty rough deal in life, but she was dealing fairly well. A Montana-Darlingdivorced mother of two wonderful kids, or one wonderful son and a teenage daughter, and she was a survivor having beaten breast cancer. She was definitely suffering from some adjustment issues though, for instance moving back in with her parents and now she was having issues with a squatter on her property. Would life ever go her way again?

Ryker Bensen had everything he loved taken away from him, his father, his fiancé, and his unborn child running away he ran back to the land he loved just outside of Marietta, Montana. He would inherit it in just a matter of weeks and then it would be time to move forward.

One piece of land, two possible owners and a whole lot of past history to overcome if they are able to allow their lust to become what they both want. Will they be able to over come their pasts and see what their futures can hold? Will the land be able to tie them together forever? Only time and Marietta know.

Ms. Salonen has taken a small amount of pages and given the readers a great chapter in the Big Sky Mavericks series. The characters are exceptional and the story is amazing. There are some times where Ryker is a bit more childish than it seems fits with his character but overall the main characters are incredibly well developed and the secondary folks are well done if a bit less, but well done with the pages given. This is a great read for those who are interested in a good, quick read with mild drama.

Her marriage. Her job. Her body image. Mia beat cancer and is ready to rebuild her life in her hometown of Marietta, Montana. Literally. Her first order of business is to build a house on the ten-acre parcel she was awarded in her divorce settlement. And she’s damned if she’ll let some stranger camp on her land and claim squatter’s rights. So maybe he’s not a squatter. The high-end bike and camera hint at more. Plus, he’s hot, gorgeous and smart, but that doesn’t make him less of a threat–especially when he has the audacity to claim the land is his. Look out, darlin’, Nitro is back and prepared to prove what the other Big Sky Mavericks always knew: small packages can pack a big punch.

Ryker Bensen doesn’t have much–

And that suits him fine. Less than a year ago, he had everything: a beautiful girlfriend, a baby on the way, a career that earned him fame and a very comfortable living…until he didn’t. Grief sent him to ground, and his favorite ground growing up was a ten-acre patch along side the Marietta River where he camped every summer – land held in trust until his thirtieth birthday, now just a few weeks away. When a beautiful spitfire named Mia Zabrinski shows up and orders him off what she says is her land, Ryker realizes she might be the spark he needed to jumpstart his interest in living again.
