In Montana Olivia Hamilton and Cooper Barnett are in love, but the
engaged couple also vehemently argue too much.
During a heated fight, angry Olivia drives off in a snowstorm, but has
an accident. A stranger saves her life
only to drug and rape her.
Soon after her harrowing experience, someone blackmails Olivia;
she believes the extortionist is her sexual predator. Pregnant she tells her fiancé of the assault
and that the fetus may not be his.
Stunned and depressed, Cooper reacts poorly to Olivia’s
revelations. He comes to his senses when
Cooper realizes the danger his beloved faces.
Turning to the law to find the rapist, Copper relies on himself to keep
his Olivia safe.
Moving from the Beartooth saga, B.J. Daniels provides a satisfying Montana
Hamiltons' opening act. The storyline is
at its touching best when it focuses on the bickering yet loving lead
couple. However, the romantic mystery
loses some momentum when the plot falls to a first book syndrome by veering
into the lives of several other characters (many of whom I assume will headline
future dramas). Still Wild Horses is a
solid Big Sky novel.
