James strings us along as to the mystery of why Dalton left town after the visit from his father. I love all the little ways he shows her the changes in him and that she’s it for him, no question.Īll throughout the story Ms. But did she ever really have a chance? Not against this new and improved Dalton. Little by little, she does notice those small changes in him, but Rory is afraid to let her heart take over. He’s already put plans in motion that will keep him busy in his own way, as well as keep him near Rory. I mean, he’s a McKay makin’ love is second nature, especially this new Dalton.ĭalton has definitely changed.

The man knows how to leave her sated and boneless, and he never misses the opportunity to do so. However, her traitorous heart and body overrule her mind every time Dalton puts his hands, mouth, and body on hers. She has more important things to tend to, like getting a job that will give her a chance to put her hard-earned education to work. He’s more than likely the same old Dalton, love’em and leave’em, drinkin’ and gamblin’, no change whatsoever. His determination even excludes Rory’s view on the subject.īut Rory has been burned by Dalton one too many times to allow him to sweep her away again. Now that she’s free? Dalton is going to do everything in his power to make sure Rory is his. She’s the reason his life went to hell and he couldn’t say “I do” to the wrong woman. Once on the road, the news he’s waited for but thought would never come is relayed by cousin Sierra: Rory is back in town after breaking her engagement – six months ago. Then comes the calls from his brothers saying he needs to come home, their dad is in the hospital, not doing well at all. So Dalton needed to find himself, which he’s been doing quite while in the wilds of Montana, his latest stint as a guide for elk hunters. He left Sundance three years ago after a super bad day – he left his bride-to-be at the altar and he had a more-than-usual-hateful visit from his father. The last McKay cowboy of the series is Dalton.

Especially living through not only their double-hawt relationships, but also their tragedies and down times and their triumphs and successes. I’ve been living amongst this McKay family from the beginning, so I feel like a part of them all. It was a number of days later before I could get on the phone with them to get a good copy. Happy birthday to me! Then why has it taken me so long to read this next Rough Riders story? The copy I got from Amazon had blocks of text missing. I was so excited, this book released two days before my birthday last month.
