Vicki was a heroine after my own heart. She was a spunky gal who caught some bad breaks because of her family. Joel was the kind of man that we all dream about finding. Protective of Vicki right from the start, he easily won my heart and cemented his place as favored Coleman hottie. Making their romance even more credible was the realization that these lovers had a lot in common. They both wanted to ditch the notoriety of their pasts and sometimes that is difficult to do . Much of the tension and conflict of this story stemmed from Vicki and Joel’s fight to overcome their pasts and grab onto a new future. The author made this glaringly clear with all the disapproval and harassment that the heroine had to endear. Even from some of the usually open minded Coleman clan.
What was disappointing was the rift that opened up between Joel and his twin, Jessie. It was sad to see how truly nasty Jessie acted toward Vicki. I could not decide if he was jealous because his brother didn’t want to share or because Joel was growing away from him.Yet I found myself intrigued by this darker side to Jessie, that is sure to bring an exciting story on down the road. After all, readers do love a bad boy.
I found this story emotionally heart wrenching. Trying to refrain from judging a book by it’s cover ? Far easier said than done. And I feel that the underlying lesson here is that even the best people sometimes judge without knowing the real person. The plot flew with an ease that kept me engaged in this story from start to finish. I could not put it down and read it in one sitting. I was totally entranced by the story and how things kept changing between Vicki and Joel. What started out as a few lessons in life turned into some lessons in love.
Rocky Mountain Rebel is book #5 in Vivian Arend’s ever popular Canadian cowboy series, Six Pack Ranch. Overflowing with angst, it is by far my favorite book in the series and I enjoyed every minute of it. It is one read that you do not want to miss, and I happily recommend it to all contemporary romance readers.
