REVIEW: Maverick for Hire by Leanne Banks

Maverick for Hire by Leanne Banks: Transported back to Rust Creek Falls in this novel by Leanne Banks we get a glimpse at how sometimes what we really need is right in front of our faces. Ms. Banks has once again led us to Rust Creek Falls, a town that is still pulling itself together from the great flood. In the process two great friends have been helping in the reconstruction of the town and both Nick and Cecelia have been planning their own futures, but when those plans may lead them apart Nick realizes that perhaps what he wants isn’t what he always thought.

Ms. Banks has again managed to great flawed yet realistic characters that make you want to scream at them. However in this novel her secondary characters are so well written that they make you want her to have put the main story on hold just to learn more about them and what is going on in their lives. While the basic storyline isn’t anything new, the spine that Ms. Banks puts on it certainly is, not to mention the backbone she give Cecelia in the end is fantastic! Well unless you are Nick, in that case though you deserve it, you don’t like it.

This is one of a series and while it plays into the series and is deeper when you have some knowledge it can be read as a standalone novel. The series is written by multiple authors though so the written isn’t the same but the town and the players are. However you decide to read it I suggest it and I also want to say thank you to Ms. Banks for placing a high value on volunteering and hope that each reader gets even the tinniest bit more interested in volunteering in something near them.

A MAVERICK MAKEOVER

RUST CREEK RAMBLINGS

Nick Pritchett, that hunky blond carpenter from Thunder Canyon, has been doing his share to put the town back together after the Great Flood. He’s great with a hammer and popular with the ladies. Maybe a bit too popular, if you ask his best bud, Cecelia Clifton!

Cecelia’s come to town looking for L.O.V.E., but according to Nick, she’s been going about it all wrong. He’s convinced he can help Cecelia meet her match if she follows his instructions to a T. Trouble is, the only man he finds good enough for his childhood pal is…himself! Dear reader, I always knew romance was brewing underneath their outward bickering. The question is, can Nick convince sexy Cecelia 2.0 that he’s the best man for her?
