Summary: A fitting conclusion to the series
Review: I loved this book. It was a fast read as well as a great escape. Miller has given us the flavor of modern Springwater plus allowing the characters the chance to reverently appreciate the legacy of the early citizens who built the town. It is truly Maggie's and JT's story and if the problems of the people around them are not totally well developed, I feel that in no way does this take away from the romance of our two lovers. You feel the pain they suffered from losing each other so many years ago, feel the sadness as their first marriages ended and without doubt experience the unremitting joy as they rediscover their relationship. The arrival of JT's little boy only cements Maggie's and JT's feelings for one another. It also allows us to see briefly into the window of his past when his first wife brings Quinn to Montana. This will be a book to take to the beach, the pool or anywhere else you want to go and just be pleasantly entertained. A keeper.

Summary: Hated it, but since the ending was already spoiled...
Review: I read all the Springwater series and loved them until this one. I had trouble getting into it and once I finally got into it it ended too soon. Poor Daphne, am I the only one who couldn't get over this part of the story line? Oh well, her husband isn't her husband - let me adopt a baby and get over it. I actually started to dislike Maggie because of her oh well attitude towards this tragedy happening to her best friend. I think I would slap any man who told me my best friends life was just turned upside down and in the same sentence asked me to marry him. And then she didn't see Daphne for awhile? I know I would need my best friend at that time. This contemporary Springwater is filled with a bunch of self centered jerks.

Summary: Hate to be the one to spoil it for you
Review: I really wanted to like this, I really did...however I have this pet peeve. My pet peeve is that I absolutely hate it when an author screws up on time lines in a really major way. Kindof like how Linda Miller did with this book. On the very first page, we learn that Daphane has been married for two very happy years to her husband Ben. Later we learn that Steve Jenson was released from prison one year ago, and promptly skipped out. Then at the end of the book, we learn that Steve Jenson and Ben are the SAME PERSON! Trust me, it's no big surprise, so I really didn't ruin anything for you. It was as blantant as the side of a barn. So then tell me, how was Ben/Steve able to be married to Daphane for two years, when he had only been out of prison for one? I double checked myself quite a few times, just to make sure that I hadn't missed something, and nope... I would have really liked to have given this book a higher rating. It really wasn't a bad book, though I have read better, it's just that I really, really hate it when authors don't bother to either make a time line for their characters to follow, or else don't care enough to verify that actions can fit with everything else in the book.

Summary: The most boring romance novel I've ever read
Review: It was so boring that I didn't even bother to finish reading it. I really didn't care who the criminals were. The hero and heroine are lukewarm to the extreme. The "sexy" scenes weren't sexy (even the most intimate scene in the book makes you want to laugh out loud because of the heros comments). I've never read a worse novel in this genre.

Summary: A fantastic finale to this exciting series
Review: On Christmas break from college, Maggie McCaffery returned home to Springwater, Montana where she tried to forge a relationship with town bad boy J.T. Wainwright. He rejected her, breaking her heart. On the rebound, Maggie marries Connor Bartholomew, but ultimately they divorce and she returns home again with plans to convert the Springwater Station into a bed and breakfast. J.T. also comes home after being shot in the line of duty as a New York police detective. J.T. knows he blew it years ago with the only woman he ever loved and prays he has a second chance though he remains haunted by the death of his NYPD partner. However, Maggie wants nothing to do with J.T. though he still makes her heart thump out of control. Talented Linda Lael Miller provides her fans with the romantic tale of two descendants from her popular Springwater series. The contemporary story line is fun for those readers who enjoyed Ms. Miller's nineteenth century stories. The romance is the core of the book, but a subplot involving ugly ranch incidents add unnecessary suspense to a story that reads quite well as a second chance at love novel. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Just couldn't get into it.....
Review: There should be a warning label on this book... This is a sequel. If you haven't read the previous books, then you probably won't be able to get into this one. Stereotypes abound in this offering by Linda Lael Miller. Big city girl moves back to small hometown, to open a B&B and have 1.2 kids. Hotheaded bad boy motor-cycle riding hero, (who happens to be an ex-cop, with a dead partner, of course) returns home to save his troubled ranch. Aging hippie Vietnam vet.... Ahhh.... I just couldn't read any more. If you want a contemporary romance done right, read a Nora Roberts. Even her worst novel are better than this!

Summary: Bring on the rice!
Review: When you think of sequels, especially the 7th one in the series, you tend to expect a less than stellar offering. This one proves just the opposite. Not only is it a 5-star offering, it is the best in the Springwater series and the best book I've read in a year!! "Springwater Wedding" is set in contemporary times but nicely interweaves threads of the past novels, through memorabilia, family heirlooms, historic landmarks, etc. Whether you have read the previous books or not, this book stands nicely on its own. In fact, if you read it first, you will feel compelled to go back and read the "history" in the others. The romance is the heart of the book. It teases and excites you. The romance causes you to anticipate that each meeting of T.J. and McCaffrey will bring them closer and closer to physical and emotional love. The characters are so well written, and so accessible immediately. You instantly care about them. You can not help but cheer them on from the beginning, straight through to the end. T.J. is the perfect romance hero of today. Romance readers crave stories with heroes such as T.J. He's strong, well-built, a caring father, a witty and amusing pursuer, sexy and tantalizing, vulnerable and alas, willing to offer his heart on a platter, even though it may get speared and sliced apart. Women that cannot have him, love him. The one woman that can have him needs a little prodding. But honestly, I don't see how she can resist.
