Oh yeah! she is after his butt.
J. T. McCall, at 36, is the oldest of the 5 siblings and dedicated to running the McCall's Sundown Ranch. But there is a mystery in the making.

Regina Holland is a city gal from California who is looking for a sexy, real-life cowboy's posterior. She is trying to save her [female] family's Jeans business. She has the silly idea that the man she picks will be flattered by her offer.

J.T. has about 600 head of cattle to bring down off the mountain graze land before it snows. And they have lost their camp cook.

It is Buck Brannigan's job as ranch foreman to find J.T. a cook. Boy does he get taken in by "Reggie".
It doesn't take J.T. long to figure out that "Reggie" can't cook. She burned that first meal, yet no one of the 6 men made a comment.

J.T. had a bad feeling about this round-up. It seemed to be like the one nine years ago when they had a bad fire. There-in lies the beginning of the mystery.

Danger, intrigue, romance and the big question of what was happening and who was trying to kill J.T.? And where did Reggie fit into the pattern?

Will Jarvis was the oldest of the ranch hands.
Cotton Heywood, the blond one, had no idea what was waiting for him.
Slim Walker had been at the other deadly McCall round-up.
Nevada Black seems most likely to be a killer.
Luke Adams - is he as innocent as he seems?
Roy Shields is the quietest of the 6 and possibly the deadliest.

Reggie and J.T. spend most of the time getting out of the mountains, only to find out she wasn't even safe at the ranch.

Even Cash couldn't find the killer. And Brandon is disappearing most mysteriously. And none of the boys, much less Dusty has forgiven Shelby for being gone some 30 years. Another mystery in the making.
Rourke is still off on his honeymoon with Cassidy.
The sheriff, Cash and his mystery and secret is coming up in #3 AMBUSHED!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --m - keep it coming [great looking butt on the cover] silly pose for "Reggie".

Baby Jennifer McCallum, adopted daughter of Sterling and Jessica McCallum has been spirited away. Or kidnapped!

The case of the missing child was turned over to Clint Calloway and his new partner, Dakota Winston. Clint is angry because he does not want a partner and definitely not a female one.

Dakota, 24 questioned Clint it seems every time she turned around. Problem was he just didn't answer. He let his rude aggravation show. He was worried about finding some answers on how Jennifer disappeared.

He also didn't like spoiled little rich girls. Well there were a couple of attempts on his life - Dakota saved him once on the word of Winona Cobb. He was also angry to find out he was one of Jeremiah's by-blows.

He couldn't inherit so what did it matter to anyone? But apparently Mary Jo Kincaid didn't know that. Everything was pointing to her and Lexine Baxter.
And just what did the old coot, Homer remember?
Rafe "Wolf Boy" Rawling finally found out who his parents were.

Clint and Dakota were strongly attracted to each other but he wanted nothing to do with her, except sex. She gave up her virginity for a bit of a tickle? Clint was not going to offer her marriage. [Idiot]

Extremely well plotted out 12 book series with a number of dry spots and pre-marital sex. [I could have done without]. Characters were highly entertaining and expertly woven into the series for high entertainment.
Whole series is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --- ah but there is more to come.

This is the first book in the Matched in Montana series. Reporter Jacquelyn Rousseu was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she was determined to work hard and prove her worth. The towns highest regarded citizen and matchmaker wanted Jacquelyn to ride horseback through dangerous mountains to write her story with the help of popular rodeo hunk AJ Clayburn. AJ is only agreeing out of a sense of loyalty, but that does not mean that he is happy about this adventure. AJ views Jacquelyn as an uptight princess and has no intention of making this trip easy for her. Unfortunately, weather turns bad and they have several close calls. The passion ignites between the two of them. They are either bound to fall madly in love or kill each other before they return home. This story is fast paced and filled with both adventure and passion.

I loved this book.
Purchased the Kindle version for myself and then bought the paperback for my husband.

Here we have a great cast of characters - excellent plot - great twists and turns - excellent mystery.

Rourke McCall is being released from prison where he served eleven years out of his young life for a murder he claims he didn't commit.
He is 33 years old and the 3rd of the McCall brothers.
He has sworn revenge against the then 17 year old Cassidy Miller.

Cassidy is now 28 and owner of the Longhorn Cafe - there is no love lost between her and her cousin, Blaze Logan [who might possibly be the murderer]. Blaze had been the ready and willing girl friend of most of the men around Antelope Flats and wanted to stir up trouble between Rourke and Forrest Danvers.

J.T. McCall is 36 and manages The McCall Ranch - Cash is 35, and is the Sheriff of Antelope Flats - then there is Brandon,30, who picks up Rourke when he is released from Montana State Prison and Dusty, 17, their only sister, who was adopted.
Brandon and Dusty believe whole heartedly in Rourke's innocence. Daddy, Asa McCall, never said whether he believed in Rourke or not.
There is action when Brandon approaches Rourke for money he lost in gaming with the VanHorn ranch manager.

There is the nasty Cecil Danvers who wants revenge for his brother's murder. Easton Wells, an old school mate of Rourke's, who has shacked up with Blaze these past few years.
Holt VanHorn, who was a bit crooked, and whose family has a standing feud with the McCalls.
Gavin Shaw, Blaze's half-brother, who apparently owes someone money and is messing around with Yvonne, who had a connection with Forrest.
And yet something very vital is missing.

Through it all there is a spark between Rourke and Cassidy that does lead to a muted romance. The threats to their lives intensifies their emotions.
Very Well Done.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- m -- #2 coming up with J.T.'s story.

This book was fantastic. I just could not put it down. I mean that is how good it was.

Mr. Stone has a wonderful guide that is dead on accurate with his descriptions. Good maps and I like the length and elevation gain trail detail. Other guides simply say moderate or difficult trail but I like to know the specifics so I can make my own determination. The only thing he needs is a flatlander conversion chart. When he says 2 hours he must be talking about someone with lungs built for that elevation and in very good shape. Us North Dakotans need a time conversion chart that would remind us to add 50% to each hikes time estimate!! I'm buying his Bozeman hike book next as a gift for a fellow hiker.

This is one of my favorite books and I've recommended it to many of my friends. All of them have loved it. If you like horses, Montana, the west, or just plain good writing this book is well worth the investment. If you have never been out west read this book before you come because Spike will give you a good idea of what it's like to live out here.
