Montana Creeds: Logan

The author writes Cowboy Harlequin Romances. This series begins with Logan Creed and introduces his brothers Dylan and Tyler. Logan is, of course tall, raven haired, brown eyed, handsome with high cheek bones and you can bet his brothers will be equally virile sexually attractive males, all of them rodeo stars. It is one of the clichés of the genre that ordinary-looking men never get any action. That quibble aside these books are always well-written and edited, easy to read. I sat down and read 100 pages at one sitting.

The scene is a 10,000-acre Montana ranch and conveniently the love interest lives in one of the three ranch houses on the property. A single Mom with two wrangling sons 8 and 10 plus an estranged, divorced husband lurking around the edges. Throw in an old pickup, a dog, and a retired rodeo bull.

The romantic plot-line may seem predictable but the characters are well developed and the back-story never seems contrived. No one will call this great literature but it makes light reading when one needs relief from heavier topics and it comes with the assurance of an eventual happy ending.

This one turns out to be more mystery thriller than romance and keep the bedroom gymnastics to a minimum.
