Montana Winter

Resplendent with unanswered questions and sweeping descriptions of the Montana landscape, Roberts’s contemporary erotic romance gives the impression of a work half-formed. Noah is no stranger to the rigors of ranch life—caring for both the animals and the land—and he manages well even after adding to his workload by opening a bed and breakfast. With his brother and family, he’s built a life around work that mostly lets him forget Kevin, the one that got away. When Lore and his brother come to stay at the B&B in the days leading up to Christmas, the power of the holiday gives city-boy Lore the edge he needs to break down the walls around Noah’s heart. Though it’s detailed, the plot is rushed in favor of one sex scene after another, with glimmerings of character development added in. (BookLife)
