When rancher Zack Burkhart finds Meg Delaney stranded alone in Yellowstone, he offers her a place to stay. After being dumped by her ex-fiance, Zack's Idaho ranch seems like a blessing-and the tall quiet rancher with rough hands and a soft touch makes Meg's heart sing.

Cinderella and Prince Charming move over, here come Zack and Meg. She's an unlikely heroine, having just been in trouble with the law, and left down-and-out and stranded by her finace. He's a reluctant hero with a wounded heart. They desperately need each other, even though outside forces and their own fears conspire to keep them apart. This book will make you believe that dreams can come true. Don't miss it! This is contemporary romance at its finest.

This review is from: Catch a Dream (Paperback)

Zack Burkhart is one of the most appealing heros I've had the pleasure to meet in the pages of a book. He's rugged, sexy, and thinks outside the envelope--my kind of man.

Meg Delaney is a fun heroine who doesn't take herself too seriously. She's had a lot of hurt in her life, but it doesn't make her maudlin, it instead makes her determined not to repeat old mistakes.

The subplot/subromance of the mother-in-law and ranch hand was almost as fun to read about as the the romance between Meg and Zach. I loved seeing slightly older characters portrayed with fully functioning sex drives.

This is a great summer read. Get yourself an iced tea, a lounge chair and a sunny back yard or beach and enjoy yourself.

If this book isn't a RITA finalist for the year 2001, I'd wonder why.

Great debut for author, Mary Jane Meier. Set in the rugged mountains of Yellowstone Park and Idaho, this romance novel centers around the relationship of modern "mountain man" and a beautiful but insecure high tech computer game wizard.

Intrigue and humor complement the love story, and in the end, love conquers all.

Excellent story line and solid, effective writing.
