jjares reviewed Letter to a Lonesome Cowboy (Montana Mavericks: Return to Big Sky Country, No 13) on + 3264 more book reviews
The MONTANA MAVERICKS series has more than 50 novels and a large number of authors. One of the reasons I found this book disappointing is that the problem on the ranch was not resolved in this book. Perhaps the publisher's belief is that dragging a problem through multiple stories will help sell more books. However, my dissatisfaction with the lack of closure will cause me to dump the rest of the series.
Suzanne Paxton is a recently divorced, recently laid-off accountant, who is looking for a job. Her 14-year-old brother is unhappy in high school and dreams of life as a cowboy. To that end, he finds a (wife wanted) ad in a Western magazine and responds to it in his sister's name. When the 'lonesome cowboy' writes back and offers to pay Suzanne's way, Mack races to Montana.
Mack steals half of his sister's savings to get to Montana and Suzanne spends the rest trying to find her brother. They walk in on various acts of sabotage around the ranch. Unfortunately, the sabotage problem is not resolved before the end of the book. I feel this is an inappropriate wrinkle in the selling of books. Perhaps if enough of us refuse to buy, this ugly trend will disappear.
