Book Lovers | 28 Jun 2012
For a contemporary romance, there wasn’t a whole lot of gripping romantic intrigue (between the main characters) for much of the book.

This first novel in Miller’s new series interested me with its familial themes woven in and out of the romance plot, adding complexity and enjoyment to my reading

Book Thingo | 27 Jul 2012
it’s set in a place I don’t really care about and features characters I don’t understand and who don’t really do anything interesting

The Romance Reader
The romance between Slade and Joslyn gets the short end of the stick, and it felt abrupt – it was only a few short pages from wary avoidance to a full-on love affair.

All About Romance
Really glaring are the absence of reasons why Joslyn loves Slade and why he loves her. Heated love scenes have never been Miller’s forte, but this book flattens them to cyphers.

Romancing the Book | 20 Apr 2012
While an enjoyable read this book didn’t quite draw me in and keep me engrossed as her McKettrick, Stone Creek or Montana Creed series have.

Its so great and its so wonderful that it just feels right it feels so good and reads so well and so naturally that it just...makes sense at the end of the day

Guilty Pleasures | 25 May 2012
This book was clearly setting the scene for the future books, and did it without drowning out the story of the main characters. I came to care for not only Joslyn and Slade but everyone

This is the start to another great cowboy series to rival the McKettrick’s and the Creed’s.

...this is a fabulous story packed full of sibling rivalry, family skeletons and a good old dose of cowboy romance.

If you like small country town stories then Linda Lael Miller is the author for you. This is definitely a book I'd recommend.

Overall I enjoyed Big Sky Country and recommend it to fans of small-town western romances.

The Brazen Bookworm | 22 Jun 2012
As a romance, however, the book failed. By the time Slade and Joslyn managed to get together, I'd lost all interest in them.

The Intrepid Reader | 6 Jun 2012
...this is another solid read from Linda Lael Miller, and was a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours without being completely exceptional.

Ramblings from a Chaotic Mind
So while I enjoyed the book as a whole I thought the romance was lacking and not well thought out.
