I believe Ms. Miller saved the best for last! This was the third book in the Montana Creeds Trilogy, but I enjoyed it the most. Tyler is certainly a force to be reckoned with. In this story, he rekindles the romance with the daughter of the town's veterinarian. And the romance gets really, really hot! It's also about Tyler fully grown and ready to face up to the ghosts in his past--one by one.
I gave it FIVE stars!

Excellent conclusion to this fun series - Tyler is by far the most passionate of the three brothers, great read

I'm shocked but I actually didn't like this book. Mostly I enjoy Linda Lael Miller's books with a few exceptions and this one is one of the exceptions.
First, the connection between Tyler and Lily is all sexual. I find it hard to believe their relationship would last at all. Every interaction with them is sex. They couldn't talk on the phone or even have dinner without it. So the book ended up like a series of one night stands with nothing solid to really unite or bond the characters together. They didn't really have a talk about Davie, the deaths of their spouses, or even when Tyler cheated on her in the past. And the orgasm in the supermarket with just his voice and a touch of the hand???? Please. If he was that good he should have been a self-help guru instead of a rodeo star. Weak.
Second, if you are going to put kids in the story then make them part of the story not just characters you have to get rid of when the adults want to get it on. As a result Tyler ended up looking like a jerk because here he is "rescuing" Davie from a bad home situation but 9 times out of 10 he is pawning him off to his brothers. And I have no idea why Lily's daughter, Tess, would be so into Tyler because they haven't even spent one full hour together.
Third, I had a really hard time liking the main characters. Tyler comes off as an egotistical jerk, especially when he declares they are going to have sex on their first date and skip dinner. He has a lot of those moments. Lily is such a weak character and gives in to Tyler so easily that I lost a lot of respect for her. We also don't see a lot of where she shines like as a mom or as a caretaker for her father. Her only saving grace is she actually does eventually stand up to her mother-in-law and boss which is nice.
The minor paranormal element was really lame. I love paranormal stories but then Miller should have developed a little more, not just thrown in a few long dialogued scenes about it. Wish she would have spent that time developing real dialogue between Lily and Tyler instead.
I also wished she didn't just slap couples together in the epilogue. It would have been nice if Miller actually introduced some of those people within the story.
What I did love about the book (which is why it got two stars and not half of one) are the brothers, the persepctive partners, and extended families. Those scenes were just more real and interesting, especially the ones between Lily and her father.
It was a really shallow book and didn't really have a strong plotline. Disappointed in it but didn't hate it enough not to finish it (I did do a bit of skim reading though).

Book three in the Montana Creeds, continues this fasinating story with a little bit of intrigue. Can't wait until A CREED COUNTRY CHRISTMAS (November 2009) comes out.

This is Tyler and Lily's story. Lily comes home to help take care of her father when he has a heart attack. Tyler is home to fight some demons and maybe to make something of his part of the ranch.
Lily has a lot to get passed and a little girl to think of. It's been two years since her husbands death and she feels it's time to move on.
Out of the three, I think this was my least favorite book. That's not to say it wasn't good, I just think I liked the other two stories better. This was a nice wrap up to the trilogy and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the small town of Stillwater Springs!

Book 3 in the series was disappointing. Tyler's character never seemed
to be fully developed. This seemed to be a collections of sexual exploits,
not the telling of the third brother's story. At times I felt another
person had even done the writing and some editor said, "Spice this us because
sex sells." I liked the characters in Books 1 and 2 and wanted things to turn
out well for them. I feel that Tyler's story was incomplete.

A wonderful conclusion to the trilogy.
Tyler and Lily - both fleeing from ghosts in their past reunite after many years and as they say, sparks flew.
A great story of the healing power of love. Tyler learns to forgive his Dad, his Mom and his brothers and gains great insight to who he is and why he is the way he is. He learns to become comfortable being a Creed. Some graphic sex scenes but they do not detract from the story.

I was really disappointed with Tyler's book. I thought the character development was really lame. The H and h really never had any substantive conversations. The only thing they talked about was sex. As in, the only thing. I'm not a prude, but I like a little bit of character to relate to! The h's thoughts and actions were very contradictory. There's was nothing redeeming about this book except the H's relationship with a young man whom he cares for.
Linda writes with a style that engages me from page one. I acquired the entire series and then treated myself to a reading spree. Such fun!
Loved this book just like I love all of the McKettrick series!
Last brother in trilogy. Love this series. Hard to put down.
Really enjoy her writing. This was the 2nd in a trilogy and like keeping up with the characters from the first book. Can hardly put the books down until I finish.
OK - sex scenes a little graphic/crude. But story OK. If you liked the other two in this series, this will round it out for you.
Book was typical Linda Lael Miller book.
Great completion to the series!!
I enjoyed all 3 books in the "Montana Creeds" trilogy, but I think this one was the best.
good series
I think that this series (Montana Creeds) is my favorite of Linda Lael Miller's...and I really like all her books.
Great end to this series!
This is the third book in a trilogy about the Montana "bad boy" Creeds. Youngest son Tyler returns to the ranch with lots of suspense and sizzling romantic sex.
This is book 3 in the Montana Creeds series. There is a lot of hard feelings between the three Creed brothers, but Tyler is the most stubborn of the three.There are several stories within the book concerning Tyler and Lily, whom he had loved back in High School. A suspected child which may be his son. And his feud with his brothers Dylan and Logan. Very interesting book, loved the story line and the characters.
