5 stars
Lone Rider (The Montana Hamiltons #2)
by B.J. Daniels
I have not read book 1 in this series I feel it would have made this a more interesting read but in no way does not reading it leave you feeling like you are lost as the author fills in the blanks nicely. I do feel it would give this story with a little more background but I didn’t feel like I had to read it only that I do want to. It would be nice to see the effect of Sarah’s return had on her family along with reading Livie’s and Cooper story. The author gives you a story inside of stories which adds to the intrigue, suspense for a few couples. The story is mostly on Bo’s disappearance and the man who loved her years ago. It is also about her mother’s return after being thought dead for 22 years and the effect that has on her and her family along with the town and her father’s run for President. This is a very in-depth and complex novel that keeps you guessing as Ms. Daniels spins her magic keeping her reader hook as she takes you on a ride of suspense, mystery, kidnapping, lost love, danger, hurt and so much more. Once you pick up this book it will not be long before you find you have to see what happens as you turn the pages you know it is going to be a late night.
Bo was a delightful character who is still trying to find her way. She feels with six sisters her life has little meaning. She is trying to prove her worth to her family and herself. It does seem the world is against her when money comes up missing from the foundation they made in her dead mother’s name. Well good lord isn’t that a joke her mother has returned after 22 years which puts her life more out of control. Her mother has no memory of the last 22 years. With Bo taking off into the mountains to think about life’s issues and work out what to do about the money missing she feels like a frailer. As she has found some peace and is returning her life takes another turn when she meets up with a dangerous man that has decided he will make her his. Things are just not looking up for her as she finds herself tape and gagged with no way out. I really like Bo she is strong but knows when to keep her mouth shut as she goes with the flows. She is always working on a plan but thinks things through and doesn’t just go with her first thought as she comes up with plan after plan only to find they will not work. Surely someone will be out looking for her with her luck it will be her past love Jace who she is sure will believe she took the money. With everything that life has dealt her she never gives up, as her mind turns to the man she has always loved and their last night together.
Jace might be fooling his self into believing the only reason his is hunting down Bo is to make her face the music and keep his sister safe and out of trouble. He is on the hunt for the woman who has funds missing in the foundation his sister works for. There is no way his sister will be hurt she is just getting her life back together. He is going to track her, find her and bring her back to face the music even if he has to tie her up and carry her all the way back down the dang mountain. As he goes on the hunt things are not adding up. Could she be in this with another man or she is she in danger. He is about to found out when he runs into them and ends up fighting for their life. I really loved this alpha male who goes off half cocked with his attitude. Many years ago he loved Bo, wanted to marry her for some reason she turned on him. What he finds is he never got over losing her as the hunter turned hunted and life’s are about to be lost. Jace is just a wonderful caring man that always puts his family’s needs before his own. He will have to come face to face with his feelings and past issues as he goes on the hunt to find the only women he truly ever loved.
This is truly a complex story with so many lives intertwined as the author gives you a wonderful story of suspense, mystery. Each character weavers their way through danger in the hunt for the truth on many topics. The author has done an outstanding job keeping the reader interested as she sets the plot for many books to come. She gives you little hints just do not think you will work out the complex story she will keep you guessing to the outcome. So many lives has been torn apart just as they find away to deal with the past it comes back to smack them in the face. Not only are they dealing with the lost of funds but a returning mother from the grave that has so much mystery has to where she has been and how she got back. Jace’s sister seems to have her own mystery going on as someone is watching her. Bo’s stepmother is a mystery to it makes you wonder if she had something to do with any of this. No one can pull you into a story like Ms. Daniels can giving you answers but leaving you with more questions.
This could be a standalone read but I doubt you could stand not knowing what is going on with Sarah. The why and how of her disappearance and her return from the dead, why would a woman fake her death when she has six wonderful little girls with the twins only being a few months old. As this series unfolds I am sure we will find the answers to this question along with many more. This is a wonderful romantic suspenseful read with a wonderful ending that leaves you wanting more. So many questions answered as she leaves you with many more to be asked. I for one can’t wait for the next installment in this wonderful series.
