A LOT OF DENIAL AND CONFUSION

This is a follow-up to Rocky Mountain Man - the story of Betsy Gable Hunter - Joshua's sister. Joshua Gable is the head of the Gable family and head honcho of the ranch. Sheep no less! Which does not set well with cattle ranchers. He is 36 and determined not to let any woman rule his life. His story is set in some nasty weather with loads of snow, a blizzard even. His sheep being killed and someone determined to get rid of him. Claire Hamilton is about 23 and married to an abusive, drinking lout. You know what hits the fan when Hamilton is found dead out back of his barn. Joshua figures that Claire killed her husband in self defense. She is in the process of mis-carrying her baby and figures that Joshua killed her husband. What a mix-up! I was in one white-out once and never want to go through that again - I don't know how these people of Montana survive. Rick and Reed Hamilton wanted Claire and her property with the help of Deputy Logan. They proved to be as bad as Claire's husband, Ham for abuse. Claire was determined never to let another man control her life. Yeah, well the women don't last long out there without a man. Men prove to be predators, as bad as the wolves. Joshua intends to keep a close watch on Claire and protect her from her wicked in-laws. And he finally solves the murder of his father. For two people who are addiment about surviving alone they sure have an intense attraction for each other. On the side, Joshua does not like the mountain man who is going to marry his sister, Betsy. There is a bit of friendly ribbing going on between the Gable brothers as they track down Claire's draft horses, Thor and Loki. Yup! the ending needed to be a bit more rounded out - but all in all it was an excellent story. Strong characters - good pace - and "Brrrr!" a bit cold. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -
