(Second in the Montana Creeds trilogy)

Hailed as "rodeo's bad boy" for his talent at taming bulls and women, Dylan Creed likes life in the fast lane. But when the daughter he rarely sees is abandoned by her mother, Dylan heads home to Stillwater Springs ranch. Somehow the champion bull rider has to turn into a champion father—and fast.

Town librarian Kristy Madison is uncharacteristically speechless when Dylan Creed turns up for story time with a toddler in tow. The man who'd left a trail of broken hearts—including her own—is back…and this time Kristy's determined to tame his wild ways once and for all.

**** (4 Stars) This is the second book of the Montana Creed trilogy and I was just as glued to Dylan’s story as I was to Logan’s. I started falling in love with Dylan in the first book, and I still love him after this book. Ha! He is a little bit “bad boy” and a little bit “boy next door”.

In the first book, Dylan made several appearances in Stillwater, his hometown, though he didn’t really want to be there. You have to wonder why, since he never sold his share of the family homestead and had even brought in a retired championship rodeo bull as somewhat of a pet. Soon he finds himself in temporary custody of his two year old daughter Bonnie and in the presence of his high school sweetheart, Kristy. Kristy and Dylan rekindle their relationship (and Ms. Miller steamed up the story a bit!) and Kristy formed an attachment to Bonnie.

Yes, this story, like the first one, was Harlequin formulaic. But there was also a little bit of suspense and some good old fashioned romance (I want someone to fill the bathtub with rose petals for me! –sigh--). The relationships between all family members and indeed, all characters in the story, seem real and believable. I very much enjoyed the story and already have Tyler’s (the youngest brother and last story) sitting on my desk.
