The Widow and the Rodeo Man

What a great book. Loving the Montana Mavericks series. Luke and Maris are wonderful characters. Maris takes-in a 16 yr old boy from an abusive situation. Really gets to your heart.

Ah, the Players in another great story: Maris Wyler, 32 - a widow with a lot of emotional trauma due to her husband Ray. But she has the strength to hold onto the ranch she has renamed NO BULL. Luke Rivers, 35 - just coming of a two year healing process and needing money. He finally digs out an I.O.U. given to him by Ray Wyler for three thousand dollars. He will take it any way he can get it - cash, horses or.... Maris has taken in Keith Colson, 16 after Keith has put his father in jail for abuse. He loves working with horses once Luke shows him how. John Tully the owner of the drugstore - he sends Luke to the NO BULL ranch. Sheriff Judd Hensley - he is a bit sweet on Maris - and doesn't like Luke working for her. Jim Humphrey - a friend of Lukes - he is rich and collects Corvettes. Lori Parker Bain - a nurse and midwife and Maris's best friend along with Jessica. Floyd Oakley's murder has still no been solved. Mary Jo Kincaid floats back into the picture. Can't really tell what Winona Cobbs has to do with the plot - she is pushing 70 and is also a junk collector Melissa Avery - owns The Hip Hop Cafe and comes to Maris's yard sale. Now the funny thing is Maris flip-flops between her moral attitude about affairs and her desire to get pregnant by Luke. One minute she practically invites him into... - and after the done deed, she hates Luke and herself. No protection used:)and Luke is a great stud. The authors are continuing a great saga of the people of Whitehorn, Montana [12] and more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - PMS -- Next #3 is Sleeping With the Enemy by Myrna Temte.
