About this ebook

The Montana Hamiltons by New York Times bestselling author B.J. Daniels

He's meant to protect her, but what is this cowboy keeping from her about the danger she's facing?

As the daughter of a presidential candidate, Cassidy Hamilton left the Montana family ranch to escape notoriety and live her own life. But when someone tries to abduct her off a Houston sidewalk, Cassidy finds protection in the tall, dark and sexy form of cowboy Jack Durand. The gorgeous Texan doesn't recognize her, wants nothing from her and is determined to keep her safe.

Jack hates keeping secrets from the beautiful Cassidy, but he knows more about her kidnapping attempt than he's admitting. Forced on the run, Jack and Cassidy begin piecing together a jagged family puzzle, exposing a plot years in the making—one that will either tear them apart or bring them closer together than ever.

Ratings and reviews

Jack Durand is visiting his mother’s grave when he notices something quite unexpected: his father, with whom he has a somewhat strained relationship, is there as well, however not to visit his late wife’s grave. Tom Durand is meeting with a man, Ed Urdahl, to whom he gives a lot of money. Jack makes sure he is well hidden, but then he follows Urdahl. Urdahl is watching a house, and when a young woman comes out, Urdahl grabs her and Jack goes after the assailant. Jack takes the woman along with him when he sees a van approaching; it doesn’t look good, and they hide. The woman is Cassidy Hamilton, whose father is running for President, and there are innumerable secrets that Jack and Cassidy realise they knew nothing about, and those unknowns might have them both killed… INTO DUST is the fifth book in The Montana Hamiltons, which I didn’t know going into it, although it can easily be read as a standalone, but I will definitely be reading Honor Bound, the next instalment in the series, because I need to know what will happen next! INTO DUST is an extremely complex story with strong political undertones, and some events derive from an association made decades before. INTO DUST is utterly captivating, and so full of surprises, I never knew what was coming next. I was rather flabbergasted – but overjoyed – at the conclusion. Jack Durand is one cool dude! The romance is wonderful, built on solid ground, and unlike any I have ever seen before, and I hope with all my heart that we will see more of Jack and Cassidy in the upcoming instalments of this series. There is a side story involving other characters, who only play a peripheral role in Jack and Cassidy’s story, and although it was heart-pounding, I’m not quite sure why it was there. As I hadn’t read the previous books, maybe that’s the reason and it was connected to events in the previous books, but still I loved that seemingly unconnected episode as well, and I was rooting madly for the characters, the good guys! And Ms. Daniels understands the workings of the psychotic mind as few authors do. I’m still not over that fantastic ending! A Book Obsessed Chicks Review Team Selection

What a tale! Suspense runs high as danger lurks around every corner. Both the backstory and the current plot were solidly built. Daniels works some really trippy and scary concepts behind it. It’s all so believable. I love seeing Cassidy find herself as an individual rather than as simply half of a set of twins. She is such a warm individual who shines when given the chance. Jack’s strength and cunning drew me to him instantly. Combined, these two had me completely hooked. Not only were the interactions and chemistry between them real and captivating, but they were also such genuine individuals that I couldn’t get enough of their stories. This novel is a fantastic read on its own, but I really would suggest reading the entire series for the full impact. The Sarah mystery is intensifying by leaps and bounds in this novel. Suspense and danger lay around every turn. Daniels has me on edge, dying to know what happens next and trying to figure out the endgame. It’s absolutely perfect. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

I don't typically write bad reviews, but in this case I felt like I had to. The book was very hard to follow, it flipped back and forth between too many prospectives. There were parts I didn't feel were very believable going along with the story line. I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style, either. I feel like if I'm going to pay more than $1.99 for a digital book it should at least make sense... but that's just my opinion.
