This story was the perfect start for this new series . We are introduced to the McCall sisters. Three strong women, daughters of a construction company owner. Each left home to make a name for themselves. When Ruby returns home, after being fired from her a job she really didn’t like, her father is very upset and ends up collapsing. This brings the daughters back to Montana banding together when they discover their father’s business is about to be in ruins due to an unknown flip of his. Boone Fielding was Ruby’s first love . A boy she left behind and now is forced to deal with when she finds out that he is now half owner of the construction company. But Ruby’s father’s secret investment is likely to cause the company to bankruptcy, before the ink is dry. Aside from the romance, it’s a story about family dynamics. How the childhood and the past does in fact mold the individual as adults. Sometimes with dire consequences . Misunderstanding , and lack of communication making things worse. Will having a second chance be possible or will the past the family loyalties hinder that outcome? A well written story with complex characters perfect in their imperfections. I am looking forward to more stories in the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed Montana Blueprint for Love and am eagerly awaiting book 2. This promises to be a very entertaining series. Ruby's parents have always pushed her to not work in the family remodeling business. But when Ruby loses her job, returns home and asks to work for her dad, his health scare lands him in the hospital. Ruby and her sisters, together with Boone step up to see if they can save the company. This well written book is that journey - as well as Ruby and Boone's second chance at love. Do not miss out on this heart warming tale.

Ruby and Boone’s second chance story in Montana Blueprint for Love by Debra Salonen, book one in her new Property Sisters series is a wonderful take on reclaiming the one that got away. On the day Ruby McCall returns home, fired from her job, her dad health takes a hit and a secret project he had been working on becomes Ruby’s problem. It seems his dad purchased a fixer-upper for sentimental reasons, not financial, and this acquisition could bankrupt them. Summit Construction no longer belongs to only the McCalls, Boone Fielding bought half the company and is now a partner and the son her dad always wanted. Ruby and Boone were in love before Ruby left for college and Boone’s father died, forcing him to stay in Marietta and take care of his mother. Boone offers to let Ruby apprentice with him as they flip the derelict ranch house and save Summit Construction, but it just might cost both of them their hearts. Boone has no problem helping Ruby and her sisters flip the “money pit” but he distrusts Ruby and believes he can’t partner with her. When some secret meddling, from their past, becomes public, Boone and Ruby discover how their earlier relationship and break-up was manipulated by the adults in their life, not each other. Working every day on the job reminds each of them why they originally fell in love. Not only is the attraction between these two still there, their chemistry is off the charts and the electricity between them could light up the work site. Boone and Ruby never lost the love they once had; it was in hibernation until they were together again. Ms. Salonen wrote a wonderful second chance story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, laughs, and charming characters giving Ruby and Boone a chance to reclaim their forever love. I highly recommend Montana Blueprint for Love to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
