A Creed in Stone Creek (The Montana Creeds Book 5)

The book didn't seem like if was finished. Lot of unanswered questions.tions remain. Or is it a trick to get the reader to buy more books???? Hummmmmm. I just don't know.

I suppose in many ways, this book is a pretty typical romance plot. Man and woman face off against each other but somehow fall in love despite their individual protestations. The certainly sums up the plot of this book. But, there was much more to it. The male protagonist, Steven Creed, is a new father, to a five year old. He's also new to town and new to owning and running his own ranch and new to small town defense lawyering. Our female protagonist, Melissa O'Ballivan, is an upstanding citizen of Stone Creek, Arizona where she serves as an inflexible but fair county prosecutor. Sparks fly the first time they cross paths, but the fire really flares when they go head to head on a case.At first I wasn't so excited by the book. I think conflicting "series" information on this book was somewhat to blame - different sites say this is part of one series where others say it is the start of its own. Yes, Steven is a Creed, but we hadn't really met him in the previous "Montana Creed" books and there was only one or two brief mentions of the Montana contingent of Creeds and lots of Colorado Creeds in this book that I hadn't ever heard of. Yet the names of all of Melissa's family were familiar to me from the couple "Stone Creek" books I've read in the past. I was expecting this to have a bit more of the Montana characters present so I was a bit disappointed when they weren't a part of the book. Eventually the characters of this book won me over and kept me reading. Ultimately I found a lot of enjoyment in the reading of A Creed in Stone Creek.I'm curious where the next book in the series will go and which characters will be in it. But since I have yet to be disappointed in Linda Lael Miller's books I will continue on with the series. I am, however, debating if I should fill in the rest of the Stone Creek books I haven't yet read though before carrying on?

When opposing counselors make sparks only one thing can happen. The question is can’t they reach an agreement?I enjoyed the story and wish that Tom and Tessa’s story wasn’t an afterthought.

Another wonderful story. This had a lot going on. The coming home of a convicted criminal, a blooming love and a man terrified of taking action on love. Each character was intriguing and entertaining.

Whatever the story, Linda Lael Miller gets her readers involved and into the characters' mind and feelings. It keeps me turning pages to see what happens next and how they react.Her writer's voice is superb.

I was looking for a new author and my sister introduced me to her books. I wasn't sure I'd like the cowboy books as I tend to gravitate to those stories by Nora Roberts, and JR Ward, but it was a nice change and she is a really good writer. She brings you into real life relatable situations that still have funny moments. Definitely a good read and an author I will recommend.

Ever heard them say in English class or a creative writing class, show don't tell? Well all I got out of the first few pages of this book was Ms Miller telling me WAY too much information - background information that I don't think I really need to know at all in the first chapter of a book, whether it be a series featuring some of the people featured in the background information or not.This book reads like a first published book, or one where the author simply phoned it in.Seriously, do not buy this book, go to your public library and borrow it and then come back here and thank me for saving you the money.Linda Lael Miller has written some great books which begs the question, what the heck went wrong with this one? I honestly wondered if she even wrote it, or if someone ghost wrote it and they put her name on it because I couldn't believe this was written by her.Apparently the other books in the series get better, but I think I will borrow those too from the library now myself.Ms Miller, or anyone connected to her, please tell her re-read the book herself - the writing and word usage and over-description is bad enough, the plot is average at best and honestly, the protagonists don't have much chemistry at all - other than the words she puts down on paper which don't make chemistry - the characters, if they feel real to us readers, make the chemistry!This is officially the first book I have returned on Kindle - apparently you have 6 days from the day of purchase to get your money back - heck yes, I did it, no one should profit from this poorly conceived novel!

I thought it was really good. It was entertaining, sedutive and I really liked the characters. I like the family aspect and how this family always pulls together.I enjoy the passion and the strong will. I didn't think that afterTate, Garrett & Austin I would ever find another trio that would hold my interest, but this is a good start.I hope that it continues and maybe somewhere down the line the family can come together and we can revisit some of the other characters.

This is one of the least enjoyable in Miller's series featuring core families in the American West. It's fun to meet characters you've seen before, but the plot here runs along similar lines to the plots in all the other books, so if you're looking for something new, keep looking — you won't find it here.
