Review: Montana Sky

Montana Sky by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I never get tired of saying this, but this was one other of Nora Roberts' best books. I would give this book 6 stars if that were possible.

This book is definitely a must-read for all this Nora Roberts fans out there and those who love romantic-thrillers.

This books makes you experience all the emotions, one can muster, in every page of the book and does not let you put down until you are done with it. And even then the the book smothers your senses with its one-of-a-kind residue.

To put it in a few simple word, this book is about 3 half-sisters, who have never met before who deal with the death of the father they share and hate in their own same way.

One of them is a Hollywood gal (Tess), one of them (Lilly) on the run from her abusive husband and the last (Willa), grew up on the ranch she's desperately trying to keep as her home.

The catch- All the sisters must live together on the ranch for a year to get their respective inheritance.

One thing the Mercy Sisters have in common is strong character and stubbornness.

Tess, the oldest, wants the money and wants resume the Hollywood career she put on hold. To her, it's the compensation for the years of struggle her mother went through to raise her and for being ignored by her own father.

Lilly, the second eldest, is on the run from her abusive husband who is out to get her. All she wants is a safe-place and the inheritance would just be a bonus. She is soft, caring and plays as the mediator between the other two headstrong sisters.

Willa, the last, is a headstrong female, who tried to prove to her ignorant father her worth. She feels betrayed by her father when, she who has worked all life for the ranch, may not be hers, and that she is being treated the same as that of her other sisters who have never been there.

The book is about the 12 months they live together, getting past their differences, learning to love each other and finding beauty in what they once disliked . And along the way they find their own love of their lives.

The unusual murderers [from the gutted cattle to the sodomized girl] brings them all together in ways only bad experiences do, and keeps you up at night guessing who it might be.

It was a pretty long book, but not long enough for me to put it down. 

Miss Roberts had portrayed elegantly the uniqueness of each of their characters and how their respective male-counters (Nate, Adam and Ben) compliment each of them beautifully and perfectly.

This book has it all, family, friendship, romance that is tied together neatly with the perfect murder mystery to solve.

In the end, the book will leave you breathless with happiness and contentment. I considered this as one of the most perfect Happily Ever Afters.
