A Family For The Holidays

Montana Mavericks

by Victoria Pade

Published 2007320 pagesISBN 978-0-3732-8109-1

Managing the Clip 'n' Curl and her daughter Kayla leaves Shandie Solomon no time for romance. But little Kayla has other plans for her wonder-woman mom...and they all involve Dax Traub. Recently divorced Dax has lost some of his swagger, but he's still one of the most tantalizing men in town. And when he meets stunning Shandie and her adorable daughter, they put some much-needed spring in his step. But Shandie has secrets, and she's not looking for romance--even if Dax has other ideas. Stay tuned, dear readers, to see if this bad-boy biker's riding into his most unexpected adventure of all: true love!

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
  2. How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
  3. Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
