This latest book in the series is a little different . The story centers around Cade Hunt and Merri Bradley, instead of the Wyatt brothers. Cade managers a big Wyoming ranch , loves his life there and Dot, the woman who took a 16 year old and taught not only how to ranch, but also be an outstanding person. But now that it’s Christmas and her less than grateful family is coming home, Dot sends him off on a forced vacation. Cade’s childhood was not a good one and now that he knows that his father was not the mean person that brought him up, he travels to Marietta. It seems he might be related to the Wyatt brothers. What he never expected was to meet the widow Merri Bradley, a hospice nurse who loves everything Christmas, while Cade tries to avoid it. But though the attraction is evident , their past , fears, and plans for the future will interfere. Though I am still partial to the previous stories, it was a very good addition to the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own

While searching for his sister via DNA test, Cade Hunt finds out he is related to Billy Wyatt. He drives over to Marietta seeking answers. Merri Bradley, a hospice nurse in Marietta and owner of a B&B, finds Cade standing on her doorstep inquiring about a room for the next few days. Little does either of them know, this chance encounter will change both of their lives. This is a fabulous edition to the Wyatt Brother series. Jane has added new dynamic characters and storyline which her readers can escape to. I enjoy how each book introduces new personalities and parts of the town, while still including what/who we already know and love. The Wyatt clan and Marietta are forever in my heart.

I truly loved reading Cade and MerriBee’s love story in Montana Cowboy Miracle by Jane Porter, book four in her Wyatt Brothers of Montana series. This sweet Christmas romance focuses on second chances at love and finding family. Cade Hunt managers a large Wyoming ranch, loves his life there, and Dot, the woman who took an angry 16 year old and taught him not only how to ranch, but also to be an outstanding person. Now that it’s Christmas and her less than appreciative family is coming to visit, Dot sends him off on a forced vacation. Cade’s childhood was not a good one and now that he knows that his father was not the mean who raised him. The DNA test he took, hoping to find his half sister, indicated a connection to a Billy Wyatt. In need of information about his father, he headed to Marietta. He never expected was to meet the widow Merri Bradley, a hospice nurse who loves everything Christmas, while Cade tries to avoid it, because of bad memories. After a disastrous first meeting, Cade and MerriBee develop a tenuous friendship, in that when MerriBee has an accident, leaving her in need of care just as the Christmas season starts, Cade is the one she turns to for help. Though their attraction is obvious, their past, fears, and plans for the future will interfere. I totally enjoyed this sweet romance, as well as the angst of trying to figure out love a second time around. I also enjoyed the relationship that Cade had with his boss Dot as well as how he dropped everything to go back home when he found out she was sick again; bring MerriBee with to help. I also loved how author Jane Porter characterized MerriBee as a very giving young woman; proven by the charity work she did, providing Christmas gift baskets for struggling families at Christmas. Ms. Porter, an amazing story teller in her own right, wrote a wonderfully sweet, emotional, inspirational, and heart-warming story that is definitely not to be missed. This story is filled with strong attraction, clever dialogue, and strong characters, not only giving Cade a family, but providing the chance of future with MerriBee. I highly recommend Montana Cowboy Miracle to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
