The Rebel of Copper Creek

February 15, 2015

Back from three tours as a marine in Afghanistan, Griff Warren is settling in to life on his Montana ranch and getting to know the two younger half-brothers--plus a grandfather and stepmom--he had no idea existed. Learning both the ranching and family ropes is a full-time job. Romance is the last thing on his mind--until he meets Juliet Grayson, a young widowed mother struggling to run her ranch and start a therapy program for wounded soldiers. But taking a chance again on love--and heartbreak--isn't something Juliet is about to do--if only Griff wasn't so hard to resist. VERDICT A lifelong outsider learns to be part of a family, and a brave, caring woman discovers how to love again in a sigh-worthy, danger-inflected, often funny romance that features a wealth of perfectly drawn supporting characters (including a pair of adorable little boys and a rough yet charming grandfather). Another winner in Ryan's engaging series. Ryan (The Maverick of Copper Creek) also writes as Ruth Ryan Langan; she lives in the Detroit area.
