Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow

A good addition to the series. Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow starts off with a heart-stopping scene that grabbed my attention and and didn't let go. Someone is sabotaging weddings/newlyweds and a limousine carrying a newly married couple goes over a cliff. While this book can easily be read as a standalone without fear of being lost, I loved that we got to revisit some of the characters from earlier books in the series. A retired D-Force soldier, Viper is new to the Brotherhood Protector's. He is partnered with Dallas, a medically retired Army Ranger who lost part of her leg serving her country. They pose as an engaged couple planning their wedding, to try and draw out the saboteur. The story had several heart-pounding moments but the scene where Viper rescues Dallas may be one of the most exciting I've ever read by Elle James. I had two small issues with the story: 1. There was no mention of an engagement ring for Dallas. Even though it was a fake engagement there should have been a ring. 2. In the scene where Viper rescues Dallas he was cut up but there was no mention of patching him up (I can't say more without spoilers). If you like romantic suspense, and hot former military characters, you should enjoy Montana Ranger's Wedding Vow. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Dallas, a medically retired Army Ranger, is having trouble adjusting to life without a leg. She finds herself at Brighter Days Rehabilitation Ranch in hopes of working out some of her issues. While there, she works along side other former military men who are also adjusting to life without various limbs. At the ranch, she is not considered "less than" or a "curse" to the men in the unit. Instead, the men rally around and support each other. Vince, also known as "Viper", is also retired from the Army serving as a sniper. Viper has also had trouble adjusting to life after the Army, not really finding his purpose. He is plagued with guilt for not being there when his wife and baby needed him and knows he's not cut out for a relationship. When Hank, of Brotherhood Protection Agency, offers him a job he jumps at the opportunity to make a difference. But when his first assignment has him in a "fake" marriage, he's not sure if he can play the part. Dallas, raised by her father as more of a tomboy, is in over her head as a fiancé. She doesn't even own a dress or know how to apply makeup! Viper hasn't wanted to kiss or even hold hands with a woman since his wife died. If they can work together long enough to capture the saboteur before he kills someone, they will have proven their worth to Hank. Quirky, fun, suspenseful.... I enjoyed how the girls supported Dallas and took her under their wings. Viper's ribbing of Dallas was highly entertaining. Dallas' yearning to be more feminine, but tough was very realistic. Dallas and Vioer made excellent partners and more. I loved the twist at the end! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Dallas Hayes is your typical girl next door but she is a kickass soldier! She may have lost a leg but she is still tough as nails and will forever be one of the few female Rangers. When a series of accidents strike at weddings nearby her rehab ranch, she is offered a job that is perfect for her...become part of the Brotherhood! Vince has lost his family and now retired he was a loose end until he was offered a job with the Brotherhood. On his first job he nearly lost a bride and groom when the brakes of their limo were tampered with. He and Dallas get paired up to pretend to be a couple needing a rapidly planned wedding to entice the saboteur out. Dallas is defo not a girly girly! I feel for her as I'm the same, make up, shoes, handbags, etc leave me cold! But she puts on a brave face for the sake of the case. She and Vince make a great couple. He never looks down on her as less then him, if anything her skills attracts her to him more! They can banter like teammates and then flick the switch to romance! I loves seeing Dallas gain more of her confidence back as her involvement in the "fake" wedding went on. Great read & a bad guy you won't see coming!
