Brylee
Parrish has avoided any and all weddings since the day of her infamous now
non-wedding day when her then fiancé called off the wedding right before she
walked down the aisle. To say she was gun shy is not even the least of it.
Throwing all her energy into running her business and finding peace with what
happened with Hutch, Brylee is unprepared when she meets Hollywood’s Zane Sutton. The man everyone in
Parable, Montana
is sighing over and if Brylee is honest with herself, she is smitten as well.
From his easy charm to the way he interacts with his younger brother, Brylee
finds herself falling under Zane’s spell. Zane came to Parable to the ranch he
bought to escape Hollywood
and all that it entails, to relax and just find what he is missing in life.
What he doesn’t expect is sexy neighbor Brylee Parrish to turn his world upside
down. Can Zane get Brylee to understand that he is there to stay? Can a love
thet is forged between them be able to stand the pressures of life and careers
even as two hearts entwine with one another?
I absolutely
adore Linda Lael Miller’s western stories. She brings the stories she creates
alive with captivating characters, engaging storylines and more all with the
flick of her fingers. In this fifth Parable, Montana story, we find that Brylee Parrish
is front and center this time in BIG SKY
WEDDING. We met Brylee and her infamous wedding back in Book One and I
always hoped she would get a story of her own with a hero that was worthy of
her and her love. Ms. Miller delivers a story that will grab you by the heart
strings and keep the reader on a roller coaster of a ride from start to finish.
Wi8th her trademark style, she delivers a story that leaves you breathless as
well as smiling in the end. The writing is tight; story moves at a fast, even
pace and the depth of the characters are astounding. We meet past characters
from the first four books as well as a few new ones like Zane Sutton’s
housekeeper who had me in stitches the moment she walked onto the page. Add in
some hunky cowboys and a few new characters to be intrigued by, well, you can
say I was itching to yell ‘ROAD
TRIP” to my girlfriends just to see if these guys were real. The characters are
well written, multi-dimensional and very charismatic though at times I wanted
to smack a few of the secondary characters who seemed to be quite cranky.
This is an
author who lets her characters shine and shine they do. From Zane’s easy going
personality to Brylee’s desire to be loved for her and not for the
multi-million company she founded and runs. Each character delivers something
to the story as well as steals your heart with their charm, smiles or just
plain sex appeal. I can not just pick just one character to rave about as the
whole cast of characters gives the reader something to enjoy no matter what.
With her
trademark style, Ms. Miller delivers another satisfying addition to her
Parable, Montana series and I for
one, hope she continues this series for years to come. She created some amazing
and diverse characters that left me eager for more when I turned the last page
of each of this series books. BIG SKY
WEDDING is a satisfying read that had me smiling at times as well as
chuckling like crazy over Zane’s younger brother’s antics. If you are looking
for a wonderful contemporary western story to enjoy on a lazy afternoon, then
this is a perfect series to devour. I do recommend reading from the first book
onward as you get a sense of all the characters and their hints of a backstory.
BIG SKY WEDDING was a wonderful gem of a story and I can’t wait to see
who is next in Parable to find love. I just hope I won’t be waiting forever for
the next book in the series.
