GRR Reviews Forever Dreams (Montana Brides) by Leeanna Morgan

Leeanna Morgan's Forever Dreams felt just it ran too long with too many complications along the way.

Gracie Donnelly, from New Zealand, is visiting Montana, ostensibly for a visit and exchange with a local school district. She's really here to locate her birth father, who left her mother pregnant and alone back in New Zealand decades ago. Locally, she fell in with ranch owner Trent McKenzie, who can't trust another woman after the betrayal of his first wife. Yet Gracie stirred something in Trent's soul that hadn't flickered in a while. And Trent figured out who Gracie's birth father is... but telling her may lead to her leaving. NOT telling her... will DEFINITELY lead to her leaving when she found out. So what will it be, cowboy?

Frankly, having the push-pull between the Kiwi girl and the Montana Cowboy should be enough, but the author managed to dilute the plot with friends, neighbors, a Las Vegas Wedding nowhere near the end that left her shackled to him with some insincere apologies, not to mention lack of research about horseback riding and wolves as well as some mix-up in dialect with Montana folks speaking Kiwi English that shook you out of the narrative. It was pretty obvious the author was NOT American.
