Finding Love in Big Sky, Montana

Resort to Love—Finding Love Line, Book 2

By: Angela Ruth Strong

Narrated by: Jami McClure

Bright Star Ranch led him to her—but will he stay?

Josh Lake is forced to head home for the holidays after he’s suspended from his job in the city, but running into Paisley Sheridan could be exactly what he needed. Not only does she board him at her ranch in exchange for his advertising expertise, but spending the Christmas season with her in Big Sky, Montana, brings more joy than he’s felt in a long while. Is he willing to give up the lavish lifestyle he’s worked for in exchange for the gift of love?

The last thing Paisley wants for Christmas is to spend time with Josh Lake—the guy who broke her heart in high school—but until her bank loan goes through, she has to take all the free help she can get. Unfortunately, Josh seems to want back in her life again, and the town’s quirky coffee shop owners don’t help by hanging mistletoe at every opportunity. Will Paisley succeed in driving him away, or will she find the healing needed to have hope for a future together?

No redeeming characters

The main character is whiny, and a liar to people who love her. The writing is repetitive and keeps pulling you out of the story with unrealistic lines. And people in Montana and Idaho don’t have southern accents, so it was next to impossible to get past the twang of the narrator. Kind of ableist to make the character ashamed of her diabetes and hiding it from everyone (seriously, what was that about???). Unsatisfying ending, and you never want to root for this couple to be together because it’s toxic for both of them. It presents as a Hallmark movie style novel, but disappoints at even that level. Do not recommend.
