Amazon.com Review

In The Rancher Meets His Match, Patricia McLinn writes of the relationship between a lonely cowboy, Dax Randall, and the woman he uses to teach his teenage son a lesson in male/female relationships. Hannah Chalmers is Dax's perfect stranger, and she's reluctantly charmed and drawn to this bluntly honest man who is so unlike the men she has known in the past. But Dax was badly burned by his ex-wife, and whether or not he'll be able to move past his reserve to claim Hannah and build a future with her is uncertain.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL CONCLUSION TO THE BARDVILLE TRILOGY, August 15, 2004

This review is from: The Rancher Meets His Match (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1164) (Paperback)

June considers her brother, Dax Randall an impossible man. She loves him and would help him in any way but he refuses to associated with any of the Bardville's available ladies.

So how does he expect to give an example to his withdrawn and un-social son? June has her own ideas - pick a perfect stranger - do a little dating and socializing.

Will should then get the idea that girls were not forbidden. Will should, at fifteen, at least be interested in girls, Dax remembers his interests at 15.

Hannah Chalmers, divorced and with an empty nest, should fit the bill. She does not want to get into the dating business yet. She has raised and sent off to college her younger brother and sister, a pair of twins, Ethan and Mandy.

Hannah works for Boone [A STRANGER IN THE FAMILY SSE 959] from North Carolina, and Boone invited her to Wyoming for 2 weeks as he and his wife, Cambria, 8 months pregnant build their new house.

Hannah would be going back to North Carolina in 2 weeks so she would be no threat to Dax and his life on the Circle CR with Will.

Enter hormones, likability and hot kisses. WOW! Now we have a hotbed of turbulent emotions with Dax keeping himself under strict control until Hannah enticed him.

Could they ever resolve their differences and would Dax ever give up his stubbornesses and forgive or understand his mother?

Excellent story - plot worked out with energy - wonderful, likable characters that blended well with each other.

Definitely Recommended --M Had to work in that PMS.

A Rancher realizes that his teen son is of the dating age and
being a single gent, decides to date a visitor from the city, just to show the lad--how a real man operates. Yet, Dax the rancher finds his single status is in danger as the charms of
Hannah the city gal reach deep into his heart. Fun. Light-hearted
tale.
