In Katie Frey’s Montana Legacy, Nick Hartmann is fighting to keep the family ranch although his sisters would prefer to sell, and his younger brother is indifferent. To add to his problems, Nick discovers that, after the accidental death of his brother and sister-in-law, he has been designated guardian of their sixteen-year-old daughter, Alix. Perhaps she’ll help save the ranch? In two years' time, Alix will be old enough to vote on the sale. So that Alix forms an attachment to the land and can avoid the long commute to the nearest high school, Nick decides to hire Mary Kelly, an Oxford graduate, as a private tutor. The last thing Nick expects is his immediate attraction to the very glamorous English lady… although nothing is as it appears. Mary is hiding who and what she is.
Montana Legacy is a warm and amusing read. The plot is interesting, the story is well-paced, and Katie Frey handles the slow build-up of passion between Mary and Nick nicely. Both Mary and sixteen-year-old Alix are such delightful characters, it would be difficult not to root for them, and if Mary has been less than honest, we can definitely sympathize with her reasons for being so. Under Mary’s charm, even the hero, Nick, is easily wooed away from his rigid, workaholic lifestyle, although I do wonder what the outcome would have been if Alix had been less intelligent and less successful. Would he have been so forgiving? For all those who love romances set on a ranch, and who long for a Montana landscape, this is an easy-to-read story with a satisfying end.
