Product Description
She wanted his baby… and he wanted her!Meg McKettrick longs for a baby—husband optional. Perfect father material is gorgeous Brad O'Ballivan, old flame and new owner of his family's ranch in Stone Creek. But Meg—as strong, proud and stubborn as her ancestors on Indian Rock's Triple M ranch—wants to do things her way…the McKettrick way. And Brad feels just as strongly about the O'Ballivan way… Love, marriage, babies and a lifetime to share—that's what Brad wants. Not a single night of pasion, an unexpected pregnancy and a woman who won't budge. For a rugged rodeo cowboy who never gives up, it's a battle of wills he intends to win…and nothing matters more than claiming Meg's wild McKettrick heart.

 Okay, but as good as the others in this series July 17, 2008
I love the LLM books, historical series, contemporary series, sleuth series. They are all great, but this I didn't enjoy nearly as much. The only thing I found interesting was the joining of descendant of the O'Ballivans (see The Man From Stone Creek and a descendant of the McKettricks together.
Brad O'Ballivan from Stone Creek, a famous country singer, was hard to like. Teenage sweethearts, he left Meg McKettrick to pursue his dream, told her he would be back and then went on to marry someone else almost immediately, breaking Meg's heart. Brad became famous, divorced, notched up many more conquests on his bedpost, married and divorced again, made pots of money, became disillusioned with his lifestyle and came home to settle down, hopefully with Meg. For all his songwriting and singing talent, he seemed shallow, selfish and a bit stupid.
Meg, has worked her way up in the company business and had returned home to the old homestead built by her great-great whatever grandfather. She has always wanted a child, and lost one years before. I don't want to put too much of a spoiler in here, but it is important to the plot. She becomes responsible for a half-sister she didn't know she had, and the youngster thinks the sun shines out of Brad O'Ballivan. For such a strong woman, I felt like shaking Meg when she succumbed to Brad O'Ballivan's dubious charms, especially when he made a movie complete with love scenes with his ex-wife.
Maybe it is because I don't like cheats, maybe it is because I don't like smart, strong women who behave out of character when they are in love, or maybe it is because I think the name Brad sounds like a third-rate Australian soap star, but for me, I found this book a bit depressing and definitely not as good as Sierra's Homecoming (The McKettrick Series #5), McKettrick's Heart (McKettrick Men Series #3), McKettrick's Luck (McKettrick Men Series #1) orMcKettrick's Pride (The McKettrick Series #7), the other books in this series. If I had read McKettrick's Way first, I might have skipped the series.
 Another great McKettrick story.... March 3, 2008
Linda Lael Miller is great in weaving a story. I especially like her McKettrick family stories set in the old west.
A "Half Sequel" to a great Saga February 9, 2008
As an avid reader of the McKettrick series, I always look forward to a new chapter in their story. This is one that doesn't have the depth to stand alone as a great story but as a part of the larger McKettrick "whole", it does the trick. The characters aren't in as much depth as I'd like (frankly, I was more interested in Brad's sister) and I am interested to see how the development on the last page (promise not to spoil it here) leads to for the McKettrick clan. If you are a fan of the series, it won't disappoint but you'll need to read the series to value this chapter.
 Excellent Reading December 29, 2007
Another installment to the McKettrick story. I liked this one as well as all the others.
