About MATT
A MALLOYS OF MONTANA NOVEL
Wild Horses Couldn't Drag Him Away From Her
Raised beneath the big Montana sky, Matt Malloy was never meant to be a jet-setting businessman. But he'll do anything to protect the family ranch he shares with his brothers. Coming home after a two-week trip to Italy, Matt wants nothing more than to shed his suit and tie for a well-worn pair of jeans and ride his horse up to the cabin for some alone time. The last thing he needs is a big-city lawyer invading his privacy-even if she is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen . . .
Vanessa Kettering has devoted her life to her work. As a passionate animal rights defender, she doesn't have room for anything else. But from the moment she meets Matt, she's taken with this rugged cowboy's lazy smile and tender touch. When a raging storm traps them inside his cabin for the night, one steamy kiss leads to another, sweeping them away with a force that's as wild and untamed as the land he loves. But when the morning light comes, will she lose her heart?

EXCERPT
EXCERPT
Feeling oddly deflated at not being able to speak
with her father, she turned toward the door.
“I guess I’ll just gather up my papers and be ready to leave. I wouldn’t want to hold Burke up.”
Before Matt could follow her inside, his phone rang
again. He remained outside, listening in
silence.
When he finally stepped into the cabin, he crossed
to the kitchen and began filling a box with food containers.
She watched him.
“Won’t you need that?”
He shook his head.
“Looks like I’m leaving, too.
I’ll have Burke haul this down the mountain while I ride behind on my
horse.”
“Is anything wrong?”
He looked over, his face devoid of emotion. “Just some storm damage at the ranch.”
“I hope it’s nothing serious.”
He gave a negligent shrug. “Nothing new in these parts.” He set the box on the floor near the
door. “I’m sure we’ll handle it.”
Hearing the sound of a truck’s engine, she started
past him. As her body brushed against
his, she felt a sudden, shocking sexual jolt.
She paused for a mere moment, tipping her face up to
his, her eyes wide, her breath catching in her throat.
Matt reached for the door, but instead of opening
it, he kept his voice low. “I’m sorry
again you had to spend the night.”
“I’m not.”
The words slipped out before she had time to think. Then, trying to cover her lapse, she bit her
lower lip. “I’m not sorry, Matt. Whenever I look back on this, I’ll think of
it as my excellent Montana adventure.”
He was staring at her mouth in a way that had her
throat going dry. There was a hint of a smile
on his lips. “I hope I won’t be a
villain in your memory.”
“Far from it.”
Something in the way she said it had him looking
from her mouth to her eyes.
Alarmed that he could read her thoughts, she blindly
reached a hand to the door, only to have her hand coming in contact with his.
She pulled it away as though burned, but it was too
late. The rush of heat had her cheeks
going bright pink.
“Nessa…”
She looked up to see him watching her in that quiet,
closed way.
Before she had a chance to think what she was doing
she stood on tip-toe and brushed his mouth with a soft, butterfly kiss as light
as a snowflake.
His eyes narrowed.
His hands gripped her shoulders and for a moment he hesitated, as though
considering. Then he lowered his head,
staring into her eyes before covering her lips with his.
Review
Matt gives us the story of The Malloy Men. This particual book starts off the stories of three brothers, Matt, Luke and Reed. The brothers have been raised by family on their ranch since their parents deaths. Matt hasn't been looking for a relationship, he doesn't want commitment really, and his love is for his family and the ranch, that is until he meets her.
Vanessa thought she was meeting with a woman who loved the wild Mustangs when she headed for the ranch, but soon finds herself facing Matt instead. Though they are able to discuss matters okay, she's a little disappointed that she isn't meeting her original contact. When a storm forces the two to spend the night together, things get a little deep.
I loved Vanessa and Matt independently. Matt has such a value for family, he's loyal and kind, has a strong will and is just an all around good guy cowboy. Vanessa is independent and knows what she wants, she's sweet, but also has an inner strength. Their build up is slow, but it moves steadily throughout the story, so it doesn't read slow. There's a little bit of danger and suspense tossed in to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Matt pulled me in and kept me reading, not only for more of Matt and Vanessa's story but for the supporting chracters as well. Matt's family were amazing, they brought out emotions and added a layer to the story, they showed how and why Matt was who he was. I loved the little glimpses into each of the characters and look forward to reading more as the series progresses.
