Book Description:

When Luke McCutcheon finds Faith Brown about to give birth in her rickety wagon, his first instincts are to ride for help. Instead, he stays and delivers a beautiful baby girl. Unable to leave the pretty young widow and her little son and newborn unprotected in the Montana wilderness, he brings them along on his family’s cattle drive, to the absolute delight of the other friendly cowboys. 

Luke, third son of Montana’s wealthy McCutcheon family, is different from his brothers. As the offspring of a Cheyenne warrior, he carries a chip on his shoulder for all to see. His flashing eyes and handsome face make Faith feel she’s stepped into some long-ago tale where men cherish their women--and keep them safe. If only she could trust him! Faith is on the run, and although she’s pampered and protected by Luke and his family, she just can’t risk the consequences of sharing the details of her past--one that’s hunting to take her back to the nightmare she’s just escaped. Happy-ever-afters are for fairytales, she reminds herself sternly as her heart feels the warm pull of his. Still, she can’t help but dream of a loving family, a home to call her own, a beautiful and bright…Montana Dawn.

My Thoughts and Review:

Westerns are normally not my thing although after reading this, I just might have to amend that statement and say, yes, westerns are my thing.

I seriously loved every single minute of this story. It completely shocked me with how well it was written, how easy the plot flowed and how absolutely easy it was to fall in love with Faith, Colton, Dawn and the whole McCutcheon clan.

I loved Faith. She was a strong woman that had been through what most people will never experience and she still came out loving and gentle and kind. She was feisty and I really admired her strength.

Luke was even better. He was one swoon worthy cowboy, and trust me, that is something I never thought I would say! He was everything a gentleman should be. He was kind, loving, respectful, patient and understanding. Everything Faith wasn't use to in a man. 

He had a few issues about his heritage but you know what? He pushed through them. I was afraid we weren't going to get the full story of his parentage but we did and I am so glad that the author revealed all of his story. I adored Luke's mom. Really his whole family was amazing and I am so glad that this is part of a series because I really want to visit the ranch again! 

I want to know more about all the brothers, their wives and Charity. Even the farm hands were pretty special and I know there are so many possibilities for stories with all of them and that makes me happy. The author did an amazing job at keeping this story real to it's western roots while still making it easy to read (no harsh slang or accent). 

I will definitely be looking up future books in this series. I am very impressed with the author's writing abilities and how clean this read was in romance and editing.
