Sarah Barkley has come to Sweet Grass Valley, Montana, with a mission in mind. Ever since her heart transplant, she's wanted to secretly help the family of the woman whose heart saved her life. And with two motherless children and a sprawling ranch to care for, Kurt Ryder could sure use some support. Falling for the rugged rancher is an unexpected complication. Does Kurt want Sarah for herself—or for her connection to the past? Her heart brought her to Sweet Grass Valley, but only love—and a leap of faith—will make it her home.

Charlotte Carter has authored more than fifty books under various pseudonyms for Harlequin Love Inspired, Harlequin American, Love and Laughter, Dorchester and Guideposts Books.

I started my ‘career’ of storytelling at the ripe old age of six. A neighbor friend and I used to make up Bambi stories and act them out. She got to be Bambi; I was Thumper. My friend moved away. But I kept making up stories and now I was the star!

A good many years later, I’m still making up stories and the ideas keep coming.

I live in Southern California with my husband. We have two married daughters and five grandchildren, who are growing up fast. I'm a frequent speaker for writing groups and community organizations. Oh, yes, in my spare time I do a little standup comedy.

    The love stories are pure and wholesome, which are the only kind that I allow myself to indulge in. So glad for Christian authors.

    Love Inspired books are not typically something that I go out of my way to read. I often get bored with the happy endings, the cheesy plots, the guy and the girl that always end up together, a single mom with a kid who finds the perfect man (and dad) for her and her kid, etc. etc. Because of all that, Love Inspired books rarely make it into my hands.

    But....

    I'm so very glad that I made an exception with this one. Until reading Montana Hearts, I'd never heard of Charlotte Carter before, and I have to compliment her on her excellent style of writing. This story would have been terrible if everything had been too rushed, and if the romance had moved any quicker. Instead, it was paced very well, with little morsels of drama and heart-flutterings along the way.

    I'd be more than happy to read more of this author in the future (even if it is another LI book...*grin*). My rating for Montana Hearts is 3.5 Stars.

    What's not to like? Cowboys. Montana skies. Motherless kids...well, not often for this reader, so...read on.

    I liked this book though I don't generally buy titles with women in cowboy hats on the covers (G). I approached it with some trepidation but found myself liking it more than I thought I would. Sarah has undertaken a rather risky search for the family of her donor -- she's had a heart transplant. Needless to say, she finds them, and the widow of her donor is a true and studly muffin with two traumatized kids and a cantakerous mother in law looking after them.

    I won't spoil the read by telling more, but the story had a sort of inevitability that only good writing and a good sense of pacing can produce. Yes, Steeple Hills do all end with him and her together at the end, and we know that, but it's the "how do they get there" bit that's intriguing. Carter has done a good job with this love story. Mind you, there's a twist to the end that's also charateristic of a fine author with an engaging tale to tell.

    Would I read this author again? Yes, definitely.

    The love story about these two was so good! After Kurt Ryder lost his wife in a car accident, he gave up on God's listening to anything he has to say and quit going to church. Instead, he chose to concentrate on caring for his children, ranch, and mother-in-law. But what he didn't expect was Sarah Barkley coming into his life and making him fall in love all over again.

    But Sara wasn't just in Montana by accident. She had done research and determined that she had the heart of his dead wife!

    This story was good from the first page to the last. It's a story of mental and physical healing, transplants, consequences, and so much more! It's a happily ending story that makes you really wonder - how much time does this couple really have? I'm sort of glad there's not a sequel.

    Being the cowboy lover I am, when I spotted this book on the shelf at the store I couldn't resist. Never having read a book by Charlotte Carter before, I was taking a chance but after reading the synopsis I was hooked.

    Montana Hearts was well written with a wonderful storyline and characters you're sure to love. A very sweet story, played out at just the right pace. I especially loved the ending. Though you could imagine how it would end, the author threw in a few twists with a unique ending. Very cute. I loved it.
