The Hero

Blake is one of the Bowden brothers, he once fell in love but she broke his heart, and has never trusted another woman since...but then he meets Gillian and he desires to prove himself to her. Blake is a simply wonderful hero, he is strong yet tender, a man of hard work and passion, He was such a sweet hearted man who I fell for from the beginning. I love the way he was with Gillian, and how he treats her. He doesn't pity her, but admires her for her inner strength of all the abuse she has had to suffer.

The Heroine

Gillian has never known love or affection from her parents. All she has known is abuse and has had to find her own way to protect and provide for herself. Then when her brother was born, she has done everything to protect him at all costs...even to herself. Gillian...oh my heart went out to her. She was such an endearing heroine, and she has gone through hell, and still has spunk and is a fighter. She has gumption and I just admired that. I loved seeing her become stronger and opening her heart to love and a real intimate relationship.

Plot and Story Line

When Its Right is the second book in the Montana Men series. This story was just as intense and emotionally driven as the first book was. It was a bit different, and deals with issues of abuse. The focus of the story is centered on Gillian and seeing her growth as a character. The romance does develop pretty quickly, there were a couple of moments it felt a bit rushed, but as I look at the story...not really. I really liked Blake and Gillian as a couple. We don't see much focus on Blake as much as Gillian...which I would have loved seeing more. We see how much that these two need each other. I loved having Justin (Gillian's brother) play a part in the story. He was charming and so adorable. I loved his blunt honesty and how he adds some depth to the story. What I loved most about When Its Right is seeing these two come together, and seeing the focus of overcoming past struggles of abuse. It definitely had a vividly real tone to the story that touches your heart. This is a story that isn't for the faint hearted. A love story of overcoming the painful past to embrace a good future.

Cover

It's a simple cover...but what a cover. Where can I find a simply cowboy like him?? He is sexy with just jeans and a t shirt...but he fills it out well.

Overall View
