My Opinion:
This was my first Linda Lael Miller read and I enjoyed it. Big Sky Country is the first book in her newest series. The story is a sweet, captivating romance set in Parable, Montana. It's about two half-brothers, one legitimate, one not and their love interests. Sheriff Slade Barlow always knew his father was a weathy rancher that never acknowledged him until the reading of the will. His half-brother Hutch Carmody grew up with all the luxuries of being a welthy mans son but has always resented Slade.
The relationship between Slade and Joslyn came about a bit to fast for me. I wish that part of the story would have been developed a little more.
I think the secondary characters have good potential and I look forward to reading about them in the second installment, Big Sky Moutain.
4/5
