A broken heart and an impossible list. Her white knight cowboy is only a dream.
Melody Bennett is through with love. Years earlier, the young drifter she’d fallen head over heels for left without a word of goodbyes, so she cast aside her notions of happily ever after. Working on her family’s ranch and caring for her beloved horse fills her days, but the strict criteria she’s judged all her past boyfriends by keeps her alone at night.
Then Max Fortaine returns. His stolen kisses promise forever, but regrets and secrets wedge between them. How will she ever trust the cowboy again with her heart?
-- Lightning Over Bennett Ranch is a clean western romance novella. No cheating and HEA guaranteed.-- Second edition. Fully revised and edited.-- Formerly part of the Montana Ranch anthology.
Lightning Over Bennett Ranch by Amber Daulton is a sweet second chance at love short story.
Will Melody forgive Max?
Melody and Max were young lovers, but an insistent father and ten years have changed the course of their lives. Or has it? Max was able to purchase a ranch outside of Bozeman, Montana, not far from the Bennett Ranch, where Melody still lives and works. The biggest question for Melody is why Max left all those years ago.
Melody is a great character. She is a fantastic horseman who cares deeply about horses, especially Lightning, her prize stud. The author gives Melody heart and feelings, but she backs them up with strength of character and stubbornness. I would definitely be friends with her.
Max is strong physically and emotionally. He uses the time away from Melody to sculpt his skills and learn as much about ranching as possible. Max is a good guy, even if he is a bit jealous.
Five Stars
My rating for Lightning Over Bennett Ranch by Amber Daulton is five stars. My only complaint is that it isn’t long enough. Although, the author does a fantastic job of giving us two marvelous characters and a happy ending.
