blaauwklavertje's review against another edition

Mjummie, de romantiek spat ervan af, hier en daar opgeleukt met wat bloederige lijken. De hoofdpersonages zijn drie leuke zussen die elkaar nog ooit eerder hadden gezien en nu door een erfenis tot elkaar veroordeeld zijn omdat ze anders de miljoenenranch (waar een van hen is opgegroeid) niet zullen erven. Natuurlijk lopen er ook spetters van Cowboys rond, waarvan een met een Yale-diploma rechten, die als een blok valt voor de Hollywoodzus. Een andere zus is door haar ex altijd mishandeld. Zij loopt natuurlijk de ontzettend smakelijke en lieve indianenhalfbroer van de ranchzus tegen het lijf. En de ranchzus krijgt ineens een oogje op de meest irritante (en mjummiestoere) buurmanrancher waar ze mee is opgegroeid en altijd overhoop mee heeft gelegen. De vonken spetteren ervan af.
Nee, inderdaad niet origineel, maar zo heerlijk!

It was another one of those rare times that I didn't enjoy a LaNora book.
They all annoyed me at some point, but Willa was just 'nails on a chalkboard' insufferable. How are you holding a grudge against your half-sisters because the father you all share, who treated you all like shit, sending their mothers away with them when they were babies. Grow up, bitch. Please.

I have read many books by Nora Roberts under her real name and pen name and I continue to read them because they do not disappoint. I love how Roberts is able to create different scenarios and keep her stories interesting and Montana Sky was no different. She brought in murder mystery with a mix of what I can only imagine is a beautiful and stunning place where cowboys still roam. I don't know much about ranching, and I doubt I would ever pull up my roots to move out and try, but Roberts paints the beauties with the hardships in such a way that makes me want to at least try.

This is the first Nora Roberts book I’ve read where I was surprised by the main “bad guy”. My main problem with finding out the true “bad guy” though seems to have quite a few holes in the plotline. So I docked it 1 star.
Otherwise, I would have liked this book more if it wasn’t for the not PC actions/phrases and the graphic detail of the murders and thoughts of the “bad guy”. If I could take those out, I would have liked it more also. Granted this book was written well before the politically correct movements where even something small is taken out of context. I just don’t do well with graphic nature details of gore, so another star docked.

I liked this book a lot- read it in a day…. However I have some issues.
1. The misogyny- both in how people spoke to the MC and the snide remarks about a female boss.
2. The two MCs- the ranchers- the way the fought and spoke to each other throughout the whole book did not scream love to me.
As a note- this book is horribly graphic so be warned.

Utterly predictable in many ways, completely took me by surprise in others. A book club read I was surprised I enjoyed so much. The end felt rushed and unsatisfying; it was like the author got to the climax and went "ok now we're done." Went into it expecting a light-hearted romance and wasn't prepares for the dark mystery. Kept the book compelling. I'd recommend!

A classic, sturdy romance. Entertaining, but not particularly memorable.
