This book Montana Gold is a great book. Its a romance but also a western theme. Chase is a rough stock rider who also is very attractive. Elle is the rodeo clown who gets the riders out of a pinch with the bulls. These two have some serious connection but have there own ways of doing things. Will love over come this relationship? Read and find out.

We met Chase Lomax in Montana Blue - now he has a story of his own which includes his "claimed" son, Shane.
Poor old Chase is 38 years old - which apparently is getting on in years for a bull-rider, bronc-rider, rough-stock rider.
He wants just 3 more championships before he retires.

We have already learned of his "love" or attachment to Andie Lee Hart and her son Shane. Andie is marrying Blue and that sets Shane off. He takes off to live with Chase. Shane, 16, tries to put the make on Elle until Chase steps in. What the devil is Chase going to do with a kid when he is on the road?

Chase is getting lonesome so he stops at Larry's Steak House where he runs into his buddy Robby, a Brazilian and Robby intoduces Chase to Elle Hawthorne, the bullfighter.

Elle Hawthorne is 24 and determined to gain a championship in bullfighting on the rodeo circuit. She is also trying to bolster up her nerve after getting a divorce from her husband,
Elle is hanging out and traveling with her very good friend, Missy Jo. Missy Jo would like to promote a romance with Elle and someone.

Romance shows up unannounced and takes a bit of time to come out of hiding.
In steps "Fate" and brings about a nasty wreck that lands Chase in the hospital with serious wounds. Spin Master, the bull that wrecked Chase also practically threw Elle out of the arena. That treatment shattered her nerve.

After Chase gets out of the hospital he starts to worry about how slow he is healing and if he will still have a career left. He retired to his ranch, the Great Divide, with Shane who wanted to wait on him hand and foot.

Chase comes to the decision to raise rough stock and thinks about making a deal for a bucking bull for his herd.
His right hand man Tucker helps keep the building and ranching going for Chase and helps handle the bulls when Shane wants to try to ride them.

Elle still hasn't gotten over Lon Tyler and leaves fast when Chase tells her to try the arena again. She runs scared and then heads for her brother, Jake's place. Jake loves his sister and tells her to stay as long as she wants.

Elle finally heads back to Chase's ranch [because of Shane] and Chase finds a way to help her get back her nerve and into the arena.

This certainly is a hard to put down book - the story keeps the interest ever active - the characters and their fears keep a fast pace - This is another keeper - and turning out to be an excellent trilogy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --m -- save for another rainy day and read again.

I Love Plots which flow from one book to another. This is one Such. Good story line- although there are very few rich rodeo hands. Nice follow up from Montana Blue with regards to the teenager. Really like her style of writing.

This book was highly entertaining and I could not put it down. The characters are wonderful and endearing. I wonder who will be the next hero in the series, Shane or Jake? Linda R. Smith

Montana Gold by Genell Dellin is pure gold. Ripped from this horse-loving girl's dreams, Chase Lomax is a hard-riding, sexy rough-stock rider working towards more of those championship buckles to which the buckle bunnies on the pro rodeo circuit seem to be drawn. Ellie Hawthorne is a young, tough bullfighter, and it's her job to keep cowboys like Chase safe. But when a bull gets the best of them both, and Chase has to take a long look at his career as a rodeo cowboy, and Ellie has to face her demons, these two characters are thrown together in a drama far more exciting than a night at the rodeo.

With vivid characters, descriptions that place the reader in the heart of the action, and a depth of emotion that is staggering, Ms. Dellin's story tugs at the heart strings. Add in a down-on-his-luck dog named Kodiak, and a teenage boy trying to live up to his image of his hero father, and you have a story that's worthy of the big screen.

Reading this book was pure pleasure. I found myself rooting for the characters and falling in love with Chase as he came to his own realizations. Ellie's past, including a visit from her brother Jake, whom I hope we read about, make her a heroine with whom this reader could sympathize. It's rare for me to be swept off my feet by a book, but swept I was, and I will certainly be looking for this author's other stories as soon as possible. Thank you, Ms. Dellin, for one heck of a read!

A wonderful book to curl up and read, sigh at the end and wish for another peek into Becky and Jake's future. Lovable characters all the way around. A book a teenage girl would love; a ninty year old grandmother would adore; or anyone in between could get right into the middle of. Good job, Fran Shaff. Looking forward to your next book.

If you ever want to take a few moments to visit Montana, especially at night under a beautiful sky, then pick up the book Montana Match. You will simply fall in love with Jake Ruskin and Becky Montoya. From the moment she lands in his arms after arriving at his ranch, you know there is going to be something going on between the two. The book was enjoyable, and many times I wanted to reach inside and shake some sense into Becky. The character of Jake was great! We need more men like him. Sam, the housekeeper was a great addition to the book, not to mention Catherine and Lucas. I really enjoyed this book by Fran Shaff. I look forward to more of her books to read. Montana Match deserves five stars! A love story drawing two people together that were indeed meant for each other. I bought the book to add to my collection of Avalon romances. There are some stories that you read and just forget, this one you will read and always remember. I really enjoyed this story and you will too!!

Mrs. Fran Shaff, originally from South Dakota, published her first novel in October of last year. She now resides in Hutchens, MN and is a full-time writer splitting her writing time between Romance novels and children's novels for middle readers. Montana Match was the third book to be featured in the new romance book club at Chapter a Day, the on-line book club. .... She states, "The feedback from club members was very positive." This is Fran's third Romance novel, and finally the one that paid off, and I am here to tell you why.

Her intriguing characters, Jake Ruskin and Becky Montoya are not your typical pair. Jake is a one-time-Wall-Street-Whiz who found his way back home to Montana and a ranch he grew up on. However, he was reluctant to leave all of the financial fiascos of New York behind. Through today's technological advantages he discovered he didn't have to. He lives and works on the ranch, but stays plugged into Wall Street via the Internet and continues his investment portfolio progress without skipping a beat.

Realizing that he lacks the valuable commodity we all know as time, and deciding he definitely does not want to grow old alone, and that an heir for all he has established would be a wonderful perk, he hires the services of Miss Becky Montoya. The founder and owner of "A Match Made in Heaven" matchmaking service she takes Mr. Ruskin's case into her own delicate hands and flies west to Montana to discover his lifestyle, characteristics, and what he is looking for in a wife.

Sound a bit familiar? I immediately thought of the excellent musical starring Barbara Streisand and Walter Matheau, "Hello Dolly!" However, unlike our clever Dolly Levi, Miss Becky is the one avoiding matrimony and refuses to interfere whereas Mr. Jake Ruskin is all too eager to get on with the next phase of his well-planned life.

They realize they are setting each other on fire each time they bump into each other, but Becky refuses to allow these animalistic feelings to encroach upon her well-laid-plans of her own life. Seeing first hand how devastating marriage can be, she vowed to not get married herself and to help those who are determined to marry, to marry the right person, a person they really could spend an eternity with.

Jake tries once, twice, but gives up after a third attempt to convince Becky she is his Miss Right. He accepts the lovely lady Becky and her database have found for him and goes about making wedding plans.

I won't give away the ending, but we all know the best laid plans tend to go amuck without much help from anyone, and perhaps this is especially so with the help of one old codgity cowboy turned house keeper for Jake Ruskin who sees how right Becky and Jake are for each other.

Just when you think all will go according to plan, and so obviously the wrong plan, well, the plans change and the book takes a wonderful twist in bringing about the conclusion.
This book is a wonderful short read. The style is simple and the words are not minced. It says it like it is, or stammers over it until someone figures out what it is and sets things to rights in this Career Romance from Avalon. It validates the point that we could all use a little help from our friends from time to time. And my new friend, Fran Shaff, has helped me turn a blah day into a fun one with her book, Montana Match!

If you enjoy a traditional love story, Montana Match is for you. Boy meets girl, falls in love, career woman can't let love get in her way...no, no, no! That's not the way it's supposed to go!

Rancher Jake Ruskin's biological clock is ticking. He wants offspring to leave his empire to, but marriage candidates are sparse so he hires a big city matchmaker with a proven track record. The raven haired beauty whose spiked heels are stuck in his yard isn't what he expected.

Becky Montoya came to do a job. The fee was generous and the situation intriguing. The man himself is too gorgeous to be believed. This job should be a snap. She contacts three candidates, and one of them shows up unannounced. Attractive, farm raised, enthusiastic - what's not to like? Match or mis-match? Fran Shaff keeps you guessing. An entertaining tale of love and a struggle of wills. Enjoy!

A FUN TO READ BOOK. AS YOU READ THIS STORY, YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE SITUATIONS AND DREAM. ALL OF THE CHARACTERS ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AS YOUR FRIENDS. MONTANA IS A GREAT SETTING AND I LOVE COWBOYS.

A BOOK YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR DAUGHTER OR YOUR GRANDMOTHER AND EACH WOMAN WILL ENJOY FRAN SHAFF'S STORY.

Postal Inspectors are the law enforcement branch of the US Post office and have full police powers for cases within their jurisdiction. Max Dombrowski is a Postal Inspector who is forced to work in Internal Affairs by Constance Barton, finding the dirt on people she wants out of the service. He is forced to obey her orders because she has something on him that if revealed could send him to jail.

Connie is sending Max to Norris, Montana for two reasons. A postal worker and a customer were murdered in the rural post office. Max is to serve as the lead investigator on the case but he is also ordered to find some dirt on the resident agent Gillian Loomis so Constance can legally fire her. When Max arrives in Norris, the duo conduct their investigation and find that there is information about the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 that someone doesn't want to surface. Max and Gillian race against the killers to see who can get their hands on the documents and in the process two more innocents are murdered.

Conspiracy buffs are going to love THE NATURE OF MIDNIGHT a thriller that portrays a realistic scenario on how the Germans knew where the Lusitania was located. Robert Rice has plenty of action and chase scenes but what makes this novel stand out in the crowd are the two protagonists who make a great team despite the demons that are haunting them. It is to be hoped that Mr. Rice will have more novels starring this dynamic duo.

I started reading The Nature of Midnight at 5:00 this past Saturday afternoon. At 1:30 Sunday morning, I had to FORCE myself to turn off the light to get some sleep. I have never read for that long a period straight, but I was absolutely enthralled!

The characters are marvelously believable -- each has his own quirks, and that's what makes them so human and real. The plot moves in ways I certainly wouldn't have thought of, but Rice manages to make flow easily and smoothly.

The only thing I might possibly say against it is that it kept me so gripped that I finished it in two days, so NOW what do I read??

I recommend this book highly to anyone who enjoys any kind of mystery or thriller. And if I had to pick one word to describe it, I would say, "MARVELOUS."

Postal inspectors, one of America's most succesful law enforcement officers, rarely get their due in American mysteries but here Robert Rice has created a great team that doggedly searches for the killers of a postal employee and customer in Montana. Inspectors Loomis and Dombrowski uncover an 85 year old mystery and a clever fictional twist on a major historical event - the sinking of the Lusitania, which helped propel the U.S. into WWI. Rice has created great characters and a great puzzle. The only negative I can mention is that some of the action at the end seemed pretty silly and there were a few loose ends about how the whole plot was put together at the end. The answers to these open questions can be assumed by the reader but it would have been nice if the author put them on the page.

Robert Rice's _The Nature of Midnight_, features Postal Inspectors Gillian Loomis and Max Dombrowski and could be the start to a very successful series. When a postal worker and a customer are found dead in a rural Montana post office, the case is given to Loomis, an inspector who travels around the state. Dombrowski, a former pro football player, is flown in from Seattle and is the primary on the case, but he lets Gillian take charge of the investigation. Gillian is a former Seattle policewoman who quit after accidentally killing a young boy while on duty, and, since then, she has refused to carry a weapon, which is a breach of duty for a postal inspector.

The deaths appear to have some connection to a cache of old letters, found when an old safe and other equipment was moved from the old post office to a new one. The letters were written by a man named Sharpless Walker, who was lynched way back in 1918, and appear to have something to do with the sinking of the Lusitania. As Max and Gillian investigate, they begin to uncover a conspiracy that at first appears to reach to the highest levels of both the American and British governments.

This was a great, old-fashioned page turner. Rice does a great job of creating his conspiracy and then doling out the clues bit by bit, ratcheting up the tension and suspense. Max and Gillian are interesting characters and we come to care about them as they are besieged on all sides, by assassins and by higher-ups in both the Postal Inspection Service and the FBI, who may or may not be trustworthy. Rice also does a good job of drawing the scenery of rural Montana, as the two drive from place to place, pursuing the investigation. This was a riveting book and I for one would like to see another book involving these characters. Highly recommended.

With great writing skill and a deep understanding of his subject, Dr. Rapport has managed to capture the essence of the life of one of the most influential doctors of the age. At the same time, the book describes many of the major clinical developments in medicine over the past one hundred years. A fine book that will interest not only doctors, but their patients as well.

Dr. Rapport has written an excellent and readable story about one of the most influential figure in modern medicine. At the same time that he has told us a facinating story about Dr. Beeson's life, he has explained some of the history of medicine during the 20th century. A wonderful book of interest to doctors and patients; here is hope for the medical profession.

I was a resident training under Dr.Beeson during his tenure as Chairman of Medicine at Yale. Many of those quoted in the text are old friends and colleagues. The qualities they describe, I can assure any reader, are not exaggerated. This is a compelling and readable account of a great man. Rapport has come close to identifying his essence. This is must reading for anyone trying to understand what makes a supremely good physician in a society undergoing profound social and complex technologic changes.

Read this book if you want to know what a real doctor does, if you want to know why health care is going down, if your other bedside books are putting you to sleep, no kidding!

dr rapport has done a great job. It's easy to read, and thoughtful. It's a grand history of medicine in the 20th century

I discovered Scott Waldie from a fly shop owner in Nashville one Saturday when I stepped in to buy some flies. He told me that Travers Corners was one of the best book that he'd ever read. Then he told me that Return to Travers Corners was even better. I was skeptical because Travers Corners was amazing. The second book in this series lives up to the first and surpasses it in some ways.

It is not a series of fishing essays that only an angler would pick up but a series of deeply moving stories about small town life in rural Montana. The stories are loosely based on a real town and people. However, fly fishing and the laid-back philosophy that often accompanies it find their way into every story in an unobtrusive way. One of them will move any reader, regardless of his or her feelings on fishing.

This book reads quick and if you want to read it, you should get all three of Scott Waldie's books because you want to read them one after the other.

This book makes you want to pack up and move to Travers Corners. The small town, closeness with the characters is what makes this book. Like a Norman Rockwell painting this book brings to the reader what most want, a slowed down, easy going pace in a hectic world.

What a fantastic book. Didn't know wether to laugh or to cry most of the time. Being from Montana it makes me long to be back it the little town i came from. Waldie is able to truly capture the small town feel and make you feel like you are right there in the middle. Congrats again to Mr. Waldie

the book being short stories I can pick it up and read a great tale before going to bed. The charactors in this book are so real you can't help but love them!

Poor Scott Waldie. He is one of the gifted writers of our time but he has been relegated to the backwater of fly fishing stories. Not a huge potential audience there. Especially, not a large feminine audience (i.e., the ones who actually buy books). Furthermore, he doesn't compete well with Gerach and Holt in terms of, "and then I caught a 26 inch brown but Jack caught a 27 inch rainbow," which appeal to the guys who buy these books.
BUT
Waldie is alone in being able to weave together stories about a semi-fictional town with its visitors, part-timers, and residents that truly capture the good and bad about the popularization of the Northwest.
His stories would lose no relevance if he would write them using tennis, polo, or canasta as the common thread because they are really about people and how they interact. They expose the good and the bad and how they intersect in a delightful and thoughtful manner and in the process his writing flows with more memorable lines than you can count.
Hopefully, he will soon find an agent or publisher who will market him for the gifted writer that he is, rather than pushing him into an eddy that he cannot row out of (pardon the dangling participle).

"Sibling fiction" is now a genre unto itself, and this is certainly a fine new addition. This book is for anyone who has ever resented a sibling, or been frustrated by a mother. In short, it's a book for anyone.

Heather Barbieri gives great insight into drug addiction and the effects this has on family life ranging from sibling conflicts to the effects on those born to the addict. The story covers aspects of life from aspirations to that of love both young and old and heart rending decisions any family living with addiction would face. A story that not only will awaken the senses to the individuals early life experiences but to that of a present day affliction felt by many. This story is fictional but well worth the read and should not be missed. I laughed and cryed at many points throughout and a story that should be in any bookworm's permanent collection.

I just finished reading Heather Barbieri's book, Snow in July. I found it to be a very engaging and accessible look at a family just trying to do the best that they can in difficult circumstances. Although the story has been told many times before, Ms. Barbieri takes us into the family pain through the eyes of the younger sister. This author has a keen eye for looking at sister issues. She has also written a very accessible book. I would be happy giving it as a gift to my eighty some year old mother-in-law but also my adolescent nieces. I think they all would enjoy the compelling story. Some authors beat you over the head with the addiction issues. They are only part of this story about growing up and leaving home. Can we ever really???

I found "Snow in July" to be an absolutely fabulous novel. I have long been an avid reader, having just finished "The Kite Runner" as well as "The Time Traveler's Wife". I found "Snow in July" to be equally entralling. It is a story of love, acceptance, and betrayal as well as a coming of age story for the younger sister finding her place in the world, as well as within her family. Eighteen year old Erin is the narrator of the story. She is an intelligent girl who has been forced to assume the mantle of maturity due to the circumstances of her older sister's drug addiction.

I highly recommend reading "Snow in July". The author, Heather Barbieri, has done a fine job in profiling the different characters. You could really feel the anquish and dispair in their dialogue when they realized what decisions had to be made. While it is a serious subject matter, there are many moments of humor (i.e. the shop owners), and times of joy. I also found the parallels drawn between the town of Butte, Montana and the pitfalls of the older sister very astute. The mined pits marring the hillsides could be equated to Meghan's 'falling off the wagon', so to say.

Thank you.

I really enjoyed this heart-wrenching tale of a love / hate relationship between two sisters. Erin Mulcahy is the younger sister who is faced with the overwhelming responisbility of rescuing her older, drug-addicted sister and her sister's two young daughters. Although there are some dark moments in this story, Montana really comes alive with Ms. Barbieri's colorful description of a small mining town way past it's heyday. Snow in July is a quick, easy read that'll draw you in from the first page to the last!

The Three Dogs were big and muscular, there was Bruno, Kalia but that they look and sound cool. The book gets more better towards the end when the three dogs won the sledding contest at Colorada. Kalia is a husky, which is a type of a wolf. Bruno looks like a black lab mixed with husky. I wish I could have these dogs from The Three Dog Winter. This is a good book. I will rate it a five.

This is a thrilling winter story that took my breath away as I read page after page of this exciting novel. As Scott and his family are trying to recover from the death of his father, Scott's mom seems to immediately re-marry again. Scott and his dad had both loved sled dog racing. In the new home with more siblings, Scott wonders if he'll ever be able to race a great team like his dad, since he only has one dog. Especially with this new family and new home.

This book is a great book. If you can get it I suggest read it.I really enjoyed it. I is about a young boy who sets out to fullfill his fathers dream. sled racing. His father dies and Scott Mclure only has one dog left. His mom sold all the other dogs. Scott's mom remarries and they move to Montana. Scott has trouble with brad his step-brother. when Scotts dads friend comes to visit he gives Scott chinook his best dog. scott then races in the practice for billings race where brads dog gets injured.to find out what happens next read the book.

I think that this is a great book. I couldn't put it down. It's about a boy named Scott McClure who races sled dogs with his dad. Then his father dies and his mother remarries . He moves from California to Montana. He had troble with his stepfather and his stepbrother Brad. Scott won't lett anyone or anything interfere with his dream. If you want to find out whats next read this book.

This book was good I couldn't put it down. Scott has to have three dogs to run in the race, unless he wants to go with the little kids. Kayla and Chinook (Malamutes) are already trained sled dogs but the third dog comes and goes. They finaly end up with three beautiful dogs

After my daughter gave me this book, I plowed through the first few pages and decided this was going to be a hard book to plow through. However, it quickly evolved into a facinating picture of the country, the people. Especially interesting was the Indian story, both past and present she was so skillful in portraying. Her presentation of environmental concerns and solutions should be read by everyone. Long and short of my experience with this book, was I loved it.

Carlene Cross is an extremely gracefull writer. The way she juxtaposed her "coming of age" with a short course in Reservation history was most interesting. As a long time resident of the Flathead Indian Reservation and a local history buff, The Unique West brought many new facts to my attention and the excellent bibliography made it quite convenient to investigate them further.

The Historical Society of the Flathead Indian Reservation and the Montana Heritage Project are seriously considering using Carlene's book as the primary resource for for developing a local history course for use in Reservation high schools.

We want to encourage our kids', both Indian and white, interest in their heritage and this is the most engaging expostion of local history we have found.

If you want an interesting introduction to the history of the Flathead Reservation, including what it was like to grow up here in the last 30 years, there is no better book than this.

This unpretentious work comes loaded with surprises as the author evokes the fascinating Camas Prairie of her childhood. This poetic book is as Montana as bear grass and marmots. What is it about the Big Sky country that produces so many fine authors -- Richard Ford, Ivan Doig, Jim Harrison, Thomas McGuane, and now, Carlene Cross? I also appreciated the pictures and line sketches. For anyone with a feel for the great open spaces of the west, this book has it all.

The wonder of this book is its scope no less than its urgency and great heart. Carlene Cross, an impeccable scholar, has preserved small gems of regional detail from Montana's Camas Prairie-- its botany, geology and yarns-- and woven them seamlessly into the larger story of the West.

Cross manages to give the reader a sensual yet realistic view of Montana and it's history. Part childhood memories and mature examination of the history of this complex area she expertly pulls together the different cultures and finds common ground that each distinct group needs to embrace to protect the beauty and uniqueness of Montana.

A tremendous asset to the history of Ronan and the Flathead Indian Reservation. Every high school in America should be helping to gather and publish local history! Nicely done!

An interesting look at World War Two from men who experienced it--well worth checking out.

An interesting look at World War Two from men who experienced it--well worth checking out.

Easy to read and well worth your time. You get experiences and opinons about the war from fifteen different soldiers who were involved. The authors did a nice job assembling this collection and capturing the soldiers' voices.

This Book is unbelieveable. I enjoyed it from cover to cover. It was well presented and told the stories of these heroic vets beautifully.

When I was at the school library the librarian told me to get it and i did. And i loved it!! So I gaurentee you'll love it to.
Happy Reading: )
