The beginnings of a new series from Miller. The Creeds are connected to the McKettrick and Stone Creek Series. I enjoyed reading this one. The Creeds are the exact opposite of the McKettricks and it shows in the dialog between the brothers. I can barely wait until the second one is out so I can read it.

I wavered between three and four stars for this book.
On the one hand, Miller has written a wonderful book of fully fleshed out characters. The children are neither too wise nor too cute. Alec, 8 and Josh, 10 are as exasperating and wonderful as boys that age are in real life. Their mother Briana is holding it together as a single mom after getting dumped at Wal-Mart by her husband. She's not played out as a heroic WonderMom, but as your average woman doing what she must, occasionally...more

I enjoyed this book. I liked that it was placed in a modern setting and that the characters have real problems. Briana is a single mom trying to raise two boys on her own, with all of the problems that are normal for that territory. Logan is a man coming home after being gone for several years. He needs to reconcile his feelings about his Father and his brothers while trying to get his ranch back in order. Their story is nice because there are the boys that need a strong father figure yet need t...more
Yep, I'm on a cowboy kick!
I've read so many disappointing cowboy books lately that this one was refreshing. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but I don't think it quite hit four stars.
The story was believable, even if it was a bit predictable. It wasn't one of my favorite Ms. Miller's cowboy books, but it was still an enjoyable read. One thing I enjoy about this author is that she gets men right. They don't get wrapped up in talking about their feelings or obsess about ...more

The oldest of the three wild Creed boys, Logan is the first brother to come home to Stillwater Springs, Montana. He’s come from visiting his McKettrick cousins and seeing how that family has stood together for years has put a crimp in his heart. Knowing he’s not blameless in the fight with his brothers on the day of their father’s funeral, he’s ready to end their five-year estrangement. Even seeing the old homestead looking a little worse for wear doesn’t deter him. He digs right in and begin...more
Abandoned by the brothers, the Creed ranch had been unkempt for years. Logan, Tyler and Dylan had found success in others areas. Their father’s death, funeral, and the ensuing fight were memories no one wanted to revisit.
Time has a way of changing perspective. Logan, a big city lawyer, had sold out and headed home to Stillwater Springs. His goal, to resurrect the Creed name into one of respect and honor, would be no easy task. Money was not an issue. The sooner he got started the bet...more

Montana Creeds: Logan by Linda Lael Miller is the first book in her Montana Creeds contemporary western romance series.
Logan Creed has come home to Montana to restore the family ranch. What he doesn't expect to find is Briana Grant and her two sons living on his brother, Dylan's, part of the property. Logan might be estranged from Dylan and his other brother, Tyler, but he finds himself becoming attached to Briana and her boys. But things get complicated when Briana's ex-husband comes ...more

It was a pleasant, nice story. Somewhat predictable.

So... after reading the last book I was in the mood for a little bit of Cowboy! I got this book last Christmas and its been sitting in my to read pile since then. I have read a couple of her books before and always was impressed with how well they were written. This one is the same. Great book, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. She is such a talented writer. I have to admit though I usually stay away from books where one or both of the characters have kids... Usually in books I fi...more

While reading this book I had a feeling that I'd read it before. Sure enough, I had, but never finished and now know why. While this book was easy to read and the author has a way with words, I found the heroine totally without humor, afraid of her own shadow and basicallya doom and gloom type person. Beats me how the hero found her so attractive! I realize, due to her circumstances, she wanted to be cautious, but really, it was pretty extreme in my opinion, and felt like she trusted no one.

Loved it! This book is a great reminder of why I love contemporary Westerns. LLM writes some amazing heroes. Too good to be true, really, but that's fine by me! The heroine has a few uncharacteristically weak moments in this one, but they're justified fairly well. A couple of unevenly developed side characters too, but that's not a huge complaint. The family dynamics are wonderful, among the Creed brothers and among the heroine and her family.

Super cheesy. Maybe it's just not my kind of book because I don't get into the cheap harlequin romance novels. However, if you do enjoy reading those, then this one's for you. See a short summary from Amazon.
When Logan returns to the abandoned Creed homestead, intending to restore the Montana ranch to a working operation and reestablish connections with his estranged brothers, he is startled to discover Briana and her two sons picnicking in his family’s cemetery and to learn that ...more

Randomly picked this up off the "new release" shelf at the library, and as it turns out, it was a pretty good book. There were a couple parts that were a little risque, but if you skipped over those, the story was good, and the characters very lovable (or hate-able, as the case may be). The only complaint i have is that they never seemed to clarify who broke into Briana's house the second time, I think you are supposed to make an educated guess, though (or perhaps i missed something ...more
I really loved this book. I havn't read any of her McKittrick clan books, but this starts out the Montana Creed series, which are the McKittrick's cousins. The first three books: Logan, Dylan, and Tyler follow a set of 3 brothers. They all share the same father, and each had a different mother. They don't get along, having fought on the night they buried their father. This is Logan's story, and it's a good one. He comes home to the now deplapidated family ranch to restore, put down the ghosts of...more
I think perhaps I just prefer her historical novels, especially the Stone Creek series which has had several simply brilliant five star keepers. I did enjoy the McKettrick contemporary series a little more than this one, but this wasn't a bad book by any means--it was just quietly good. If you like Super Romance or Special Edition Romance or the Harlequin American line, you will love this book. If you enjoyed the McKettrick's, you will probably enjoy this series as well, although it misses the ...more

I have read several of Linda Lael Miller's books, and they are the typical "romance" gendre. I like when the books are a trilogy and you can get into the characters a bit more.
excellent. Liked the introduction of this series--Logan is the oldest of the Creed Boys and the 1st to come back StillWater Springs after the knock down legendary falling out between the brothers on the day of their father's funeral. I liked this storyline, it was inventive, romantic and suspenseful. The Love interest is Brianna and she has two boys that melt your heart. The patriarch of the family was Jake Creed and he left behind a legacy of disfunction that has haunted all the brothers. ...more
I've never read Miller's work before but I needed a book while waiting for my mom and CVS was limited on choices. I snagged it because I like ranching subgenre of romance. Now I wish I had gotten the Joan Collins book. It was a thicker HQN, which is a publication I adore, but this was a bit much of whining from the female protag and the male hero didn't really inspire me at all. The Big Bad Boom from each of their lives were dull and predictable in the first 50 pages of the book. It's not one I ...more
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the first of the Creed books, although I would have liked more about ranching, riding, and rodeos in Montana. The story focuses mainly on the characters, Logan Creed and Briana with her two boys, Alex and Josh, plus their dogs. What stood out the most during my own Montana visit were the frequent occurrences of a truck, a dog, and a horse, all of which seemed to go together everywhere I went. Oh, and the french fries. And the rodeos. It's a great state. I wi...more
This is the first in the Creeds trilogy by Linda Lael Miller. She introduced the family in a nebulous way in a McKettrick book. This is a book about the eldest of the family, Logan. Logan is finally coming home after a long separation. He has acquired a great deal of money, aches from the rodeo, and law degree. He meets Brianna and her two sons, because she is living in his brother’s old house. He wants the ranch to come back and his family close. Since he hasn’t spoken to his brothers in...more
After some years Logan Creed returns home to the family ranch he and his two brothers have inherited after the death of their father. The brothers had a huge fight at the funeral and they left the ranch to go their separate ways and since that time they have never spoken to each other again. Logan wants to go back to his roots, confront his past, make the ranch work again and hopefully reconcile with his brothers. Barely arrived he makes the acquaintance of single-mom Briana Grant who struggles ...more
I held off on starting this series until I had all three books and could read them together (which wasn't a long wait since they were released in consecutive months). But I'm glad I got to finally start because I enjoyed the first book a lot.

I have seen this author's books for years, but for some reason had never read any of them. This contemporary romance was surprisingly good. It is the first book in a very long time that I finished in one day. I actually stayed up until nearly 2:00 a.m. to finish it. This is the story of Logan and Briana and her children. It is the first book in a trilogy -- the story of three brothers. I'm looking forward to the next one, and to more of this author's books.
Okay, so I like a good romance now and then. That's nothing to be ashamed of, right? I'm tempted to justify myself with all the heavier reading I've been doing lately, but really - a good book is a good book. And I liked this one. I love stories about rugged men and independent women. I'm not usually into the cowboy thing, having personal experience with a few of that breed, but I found that fictional cowboys are okay, and then some.
3.5 I read this as part of a challenge and found it fairly enjoyable. The character of Logan was one I liked quite a bit. Briana wasn't as 'fun' for me, but she wasn't completely annoying either, which is ALWAYS a plus for me. *LoL*
I'll more likely than not pick up the second in the series from the library, as the Creeds and their history interest me. Hopefully I'll enjoy the protagonists in it as much as I enjoyed Logan in this.

What I learned from this book is don't judge a book by its cover. My Daughter had bought me all 3 books for Valentine's Day. I have never read a cowboy/western before & was thinking Oh No! I will never be able to read these books. I would never hurt her feelings so I forced myself & Oh my gosh! I was so shocked. I read them all in 3 days & Can't wait for the Creed Country Christmas lol...
This was a great book to start out the series. I thought Logan was a little too sentimental and didn't like it mentioned so much. But hey it takes one like that to bring those tough boys back together after so many years and with so much wrong in their history. This series was fun to see how boys grow up to be men. Some of the scenes were sizzling so be prepared for that.
I didn't like the characters all that much and got bored shortly after starting it. I kind of skimmed quickly to the end of the book just to pick up back story about the next book in the series (Dylan).
I enjoy and respect a good formulaic romance book, unfortunately this wasn't one. Next!
