5.0 out of 5 stars Two familiesone incredible team, March 21, 2001

By	C. M. Chen (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Magnificent Seven (Montana Mavericks) (Paperback)

Heather Johnson has returned to Whitehorn in order to deal with her father's estate. Years ago she had escaped the bitter prison of her childhood. Ten years and three children later, Heather has found a measure of success as a public relations executive in San Francisco. It's a job that has given her a sense of self-worth and has helped to fend off the memories of her alcoholic father and the strict housekeeper he left her upbringing to. When she arrives at her father's ranch, she is advised to remodel it before selling so she reluctantly hires contractor, Mitch Fielding, to assist her. Mitch doesn't succeed in making a good impression on Heather or her children when his twin daughters wreak havoc during his interview. He can't help but admire Heather for how well-behaved her children are and arranges for her to take care of his girls during the day while he works in hopes that she might influence them in a good way. At first Heather manages to distance herself from Mitch and his motherless girls. But as she wins their hearts, she finds herself unable to extricate herself from their hope that together, they'd make a fantastic team.

"The Magnificent Seven" is by far the best of the Montana Mavericks series thus far. Cheryl St. John is to be commended for the wonderful way in which she has created two different families and integrated them into a dynamic one. It is refreshing to encounter a hero whose heart is as good as Mitch Fielding's. Though his twins are truly terrible brats who succeed in manipulating him, he finds himself helpless to deny them. But when he meets Heather, he finds himself falling in love with her beauty, her poise, and the wonderful way she disciplines her children without any fear of inadequacy. While Mitch does believe that his twins need a mother, he does not see Heather as merely fitting that role. Instead, he finds himself falling in love with her and admiring her success with the twins, a lesson she imparts to him. In an unusual but not unexpected reversal of roles, Heather balks at the idea of staying in Whitehorn and marrying Mitch. All of her childhood fears and misery are at this ranch. But her own children love living in Montana and as Mitch begins to remodel the house, she finds herself unable to dwell on the past that haunts her. Instead she begins to speculate what could be with Mitch and his girls. St. John has written a heartwarming and fluid installment of this series that will not disappoint at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Love As Big As The Montana Skies!, March 13, 2001

By	Holly Fuhrmann (PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Magnificent Seven (Montana Mavericks) (Paperback)

Heather Johnson is coming home to Montana, and she'd not happy about it. Her father has died and she just wants to clear up his estate and head back to San Francisco. In order to sell her dad's place, she has to have some work done, and in order to get the work done, she's going to have to bargain with Mitch Fielding. He'll do the work for a more than reasonable rate IF she'll watch his twins. Heather has three children of her own, how much work could two more be? The deal's agreed upon. But what neither Mitch or Heather bargained for was the feelings the each had for each other, feelings that can't lead to anything since Heather's moving back to San Francisco, unless Mitch can find a reason for her to stay . . . maybe love?

Cheryl St. John pens a delightful addition to Silhouette's Montana Maverick series, creating a memorable love story that is as big as the Montana skies!
