The New Zealand wilderness is no place for an innocent young girl escaping an arranged marriage….

Shocked by the threat of being forced to marry an aging magistrate, Bliss Stafford flees her New Zealand home. But a chance encounter—and the barrel of her father’s pistol—wed her to Jamie McKenna, a handsome, headstrong rancher whose bold touch inflamed her innocent senses. Yet Jamie’s heart was captive to another—and to a hidden, bitter sorrow. But young, courageous Bliss is determined to face the secrets of his past—to claim the radiant prize of a lifetime of tomorrows.

Passion, heartache, and the power of romance set New Zealand aflame with Angelfire in Linda Lael Miller’s lush tale of a young woman audacious enough to settle for nothing less than love.

I love Linda Lael Miller because she is a very good author and I love her Australian Series. I have almost all of her books and I can't wait to get any new books written by her. This series is one of her first series of her writing career and they have been reissued this year at the low price of $ 4.99 each. When I found out about these books I went out and bought them as soon as they were available. The heroine Maggie Chamberlain vows to shape a new life for herself in Sydney after sailing to Australia only to find that the man who asked to marry him has no intention of fulfilling his part of the bargain. The hero is the arrogant and wealthy Reeve McKenna who captures Maggie’s untried heart and he is the only man who thrills her senses with the sweet, dark rush of desire. But Reeve cannot be hers alone, for he is obsessed by his search for his beloved brother James, lost two decades before. Reeve’s fierce hunger for the Yankee beauty is not yet love, and Maggie wants both the breathless pleasure of his passion and the full surrender of his heart—or nothing at all.

THIS GAME HAS SOME VERY UNUSAL PLAYERS…

I love Linda Lael Miller's western historical novels so much. I stumbled upon some of her books at Barnes and Noble because her books are always displayed and they are hard to miss. Since I've first discovered her novels I've tried to get as many of her wonderful books as possible. She also writes contemporary romances but I like her historicals more. I especially like her McKettrick series because it starts in the 1800's but the series continues for a couple more generations until it's in the present. You see how the ancesters of the present McKettrick have influenced the whole family line and that is so wonderful the read. I read the series a bit out of line last year but I finally got all the books in the series and have started reading it all from the beginning. The series has 9 novels so far and I think there are going to be more in this series because there are a lot of McKettricks. So I guess you've noticed that this week I've been reading all the books in the McKettrick series and what a series it is.

The McKettrick Way is the ninth book in the series and continues the story of the stubborn and hardheaded McKettrick family. We are now in the present and we are seeing the children of the children of the first McKettrick men, Angus, Holt, Rafe, Kade and Jeb. This book is about Meg McKettrick who is from the Holt McKettrick line. We met Meg McKettrick in Sierra's Homecoming because she is Sierra McKettrick's older sister and well this is her story. I really loved this book and I have to say that it is my favorite of all the books in the series. I thought that Brad O'Ballivan is the perfect match for Meg because besides have a past romantic affair they seemed to compliment each other well. I thought that it was cool that the O'Ballivan family line was strong in the present because I love the Stone Creek Series (I'll be writing about this series soon). They had to go through a lot to finally find the love that they share is something wonderful and that made the novel some much more exciting to read. This is such a wonderful novel because I can still see the McKettrick and O'Ballivan from the past influencing the McKettrick and O'Ballivan of the present and it just makes me compare how the present McKettrick's and O'Ballivan's are just like there ancestors. This book is such a good read that I finished it up in 5 hours and it made me want more. I also think that the McKettrick men pick out very strong willed women to marry and they keep these McKettrick men on their toes and it goes vice versa for the McKettrick women. The end of this book hinted that there would be more McKettrick books to come and even a new series about an extended family of the McKettrick family line. Here is the description of the book from the back cover and picture:

THE McKETTRICK WAY $ 4.99 (Book 9)(248 Pages)

And Brad feels just as strongly about the O’Ballivan way… Love, marriage, babies and a lifetime to share—that’s what Brad wants. Not a single night of passion, an unexpected pregnancy and a woman who won’t budge. For a rugged rodeo cowboy who never gives up, it’s a battle of wills he intends to win…and nothing matters more than claiming Meg’s wild McKettrick’s heart.

And he never looked back. He just prayed he’d be in time to save the man who had raised him as a son and keep his best friend from the gallows. He knew he’d encounter rustlers, scoundrels and thieves. But he’d never expected to find a woman like Lorelei Fellows.

But Lorelei had had enough. She was sick of men and their schemes. All she wanted was to stake her claim on her own little piece of Texas. And with Holt McKettrick as a neighbor, things were beginning to look up. The man was a straight shooter with a strong will, a steady aim and a hungry heart.

Tired of waiting for his sons to settle down, Arizona-territory rancher Angus McKettrick announces a competition: the first son to marry and produce a grandchild will inherit Triple M ranch. Now, three distinctly different, equally determined cowboys are searching high and low for brides. If Emmeline Harding knows one thing, it’s that she can’t hold her liquor. And though she’s not sure how she came to wake up next to a stack of gold coins in a brothel, she fears the worst. Fleeing town as a mail-order bride, she wonders: how will she ever confess her past to her handsome new husband? Freedom-loving Rafe McKettrick is a man of strong beliefs and stronger passions and he’ll do anything to win the Triple M—even marry a stranger. To his surprise, Emmeline’s charms beguile him even as the secrets he senses she’s hiding ignite jealously and suspicion. But when a visitor from the past enters the high country, the newlyweds have no choice but to give up on a marriage in name only and seek a union that satisfies them both and soul.
