Montana Creeds: Tyler by Linda Lael Miller is the third and final book in her Montana Creeds contemporary western romance trilogy about three brothers.
It's youngest brother Tyler Creed's turn to take center stage in this book. Tyler has finally decided to come home to the family ranch to figure out a few things, like his relationship with his older brothers Logan and Dylan. Along the way, he reconnects with Lily Kenyon, the girl whose heart he broke when they were kids. Lily is now widowed with young daughter, but she's never stopped loving Tyler. But complicating matters is a young boy who's being abused by his mom's boyfriend -- a boy who may or may not be Tyler's son ...
I like Miller's books a lot, but I definitely thought this was the weakest book not only in this trilogy but that I've read by her. I just didn't think there was very much romance in this one. Tyler asks Lily out, and before you know it, he's asked her to marry him. Their relationship happened way too fast for me.
Also, the kicker is that Tyler cheated on Lily when they were dating when they were younger -- and he might have a son with the woman he cheated with. Tyler tells Lily that the boy might be his, and she just accepts it with really no amount of fuss or even hurt. That rang a little false to me. There's also some question about whether the boy and his mom are trying to con Tyler or not, and of course, the mom's abusive boyfriend has it in for Tyler. There was a lot going on in this book, but not enough time devoted to any of the plots.
It was nice to see Tyler finally make up with his brothers, and the book ends with a sweet epilogue, but those things weren't enough to save this book for me.

I completely agree, there was no real romance in the book.
