Summary: Springwater Wedding
Comment: A touching love story in dire need of better editing. One wonders, where is Miller's editor? "Wedding" features five love stories, and only one of these, a sub plot involving the heroine's parents, is fully explained and realized. The others suffer from a great loss of detail. It's as if Miller began her book well and then was rushed in the finishing. The sub plot involving the heroine's best friend? The reader hasn't a clue as to the problems in her marriage or with her fertility. The sub plot involving the young couple? Miller's skills in writing good characters makes us care for them, but we never get to find out how they feel about key dramatic points in the story. The sub plot involving the sheriff's internet romance? Once again, sweet people, but too many details are missing in the end. The hero and heroine, while seemingly decent people, we know the very least about. Of course we know they'll get together, but we're not rooting for them to do just that because the details of their earlier breakup are too vague and/or unexplained. Their one sex scene seems almost thrown in. Our heroine is prim, and we have no idea why she is willing to have sex the one time (and not others). The entire book left me scratching my head, and wondering why her editor did not do her job better. Linda Lael Miller and her fans deserve better!

Summary: Beautifully written -- Very highly recommended
Comment: Both Maggie McCaffey and J.T. Wainright return to Springwater, Montana to find healing and new beginnings in Linda Lael Miller's SPRINGWATER WEDDING. Maggie descends from founders June-Bug and Jacob McCaffrey. Leaving behind an ex-husband and broken dreams, Maggie plans to renovate a 19th century stagecoach inn and turn it into a bed and breakfast. She does not anticipate the love of her life, J.T., returning to Springwater at the same time she does. Despite his overtures, she desperately tries to resist him and her well-meaning, matchmaking friends.
J.T. leaves behind the death of his partner, a gunshot wound, and a divorce to become a rancher. His attempts to make the family ranch a paying proposition are threatened, however, by someone poisoning neighboring herds, cattle rustlers, and murder. His attempts at rekindling a romance with Maggie seem a bit more productive, but other issues seem to keep him frequently sidetracked. Indeed, while aiding local law enforcement, J.T. soon learns that the current crime spree leads to the town's past and includes his father's murder.
SPRINGWATER WEDDING is the seventh book in the Springwater series, providing a contemporary conclusion. The hero and heroine are descendants of the original cast, thereby providing the novel with deep roots. But do not let that dissuade new readers who want to read SPRINGWATER WEDDING as a standalone. The novel works beautifully as an independent read as well, though readers may quickly find their way to the bookstore for the remaining books of the series. Author Linda Lael Miller excels at creating novels with a strong sense of community and ancestry, as SPRINGWATER WEDDING dazzlingly demonstrates. Further, Jacob is the wounded hero at his best, with challenges and weaknesses that make him immensely appealing. Maggie years for community and family, yet fears the risk such goals require. While the reader knows that, of course, they will find up together, the journey is both pleasurable and endearing, especially with the remarkable secondary characters give the novel an added richness. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Not as bad as some of the reviews suggest!
Comment: Apparently, from the other reviews, either you'll like it or you won't. I am in the middle of the road. I wished for more sparks between Maggie and JT- the romance was watered-down some. But the story was sweet. Maggie and JT go way back and because of family interference and misunderstandings they ended up with others and went through individual divorces - only to come back home to Springwater finding each other and renewing a relationship once again. Excitment is added with cattle poisoning, murder, and someone stalking Maggie. There are sub-characters that add a lot to the story as well. I suggest reading it but I don't know if I would recommend buying it. But it is a sweet read.
