review 1: Diffrent! Apropo for Halloween with Ghost and time travel themes...Not used to that in L.L.M.'s book's. The McKettrick Legend is actually 2 stories, or maybe I should actually say 3 stories in 1 book.Sierra's Homecoming...The first story in the book....Young, single Mom, Sierra Breslin McKettrick is forced to move to her ancesteral Ranch, for her sick, 7 yr old, GENIUS/GIFTED Son, Liam's sake. She becomes disconcerted by the Triple M's handsome caretaker, Travis Reid. But when Liam claims to see a mysterious boy, from 1919, in the house, and an heirloom teapot starts popping up in unexpected places, Sierra wonders if the attraction between her and Travis might be the least of her worries.In 1919 widowed Hannah McKettrick lived at the Triple M ranch with her son, Tobias, an... mored her brother-in-law, Doss. Her confused feelings for Doss and her son's health problems occupied all her thoughts...until the family teapot starts dissappearing. Could Sierra and her ancester Hannah be living parallel lives?Sierra's homecoming constantly goes back and forth between the 2 stories of current time (which, at the time of this book was 2007.) With Sierra, Travis, and Liam....And the past (1919) with Hannah, Doss, and Tobias....Which DROVE ME CRAZY, and gave me a HEADACHE! I DID like BOTH stories! The constant back and forth gave me a headache though! I'd give Sierra's homecoming a 3 1/2 stars for that reason alone...I put 4 because I liked 'The McKettrick Way', MUCH better! And I did like ALL 3 stories.The McKettrick Way (is Sierra's long lost-older sister, Meg McKettrick's story.)Meg McKettrick longs for a baby-HUSBAND OPTIONAL! She and Travis Reid even tried to have a relationship, a long time ago. Quickly discovering, they were 'FRIEND'S'...NOTHING MORE! Perfect Father material is gorgeous, newly retired, Country singer, and ex, who broke Meg's heart long ago as 'KIDS', Brad O'Ballivan. (descendant of Sam and Maddie O'Ballivan 'From L.L.M's 'The Man From Stone Creek') Newly retired as a COUNTRY MEGA STAR, complete with CMA, CMT awards, women, groupies throwing their panties, ect. And now, new owner of his family's ranch in Stone Creek....Meg wants to do things her way...The McKettrick way! But Brad feels just as strongly about the O'Ballivan way!...Love, marriage, babies, and a lifetime to share-that's what Brad wants. Not a single night of passion, an unexpected pregnancy and a woman who won't budge. For a rugged rodeo cowboy/country singer who never gives up, it's a battle of wills he intends to win...and nothing matters more than claiming Meg's wild McKettrick heart.Add in a BIG secret Meg's been keeping from Brad since they were kid's. An unexpected dying father she never knew, who comes with an equally unexpected preteen sister, Meg's left to raise when their father dies. And 'Angus McKettrick' her ancestor GHOST Meg's been communicating with since preschool age.... (TOLD you they had a HALLOWWEN vibe!) I liked The McKettrick Way better! Loved the whole McKettrick's/O'Ballivan's getting together! :-) Ok, I do have a thing for CUTE Country singers. But Meg was more relatable for me I think then Sierra. And I could deal better with a GHOST than the constant time travel back and for from one story to another in Sierra's Homecoming! Liked that Trav and Sierra, and Liam make an appearance in Meg's story! Of course, Sierra is Meg's sister,and Liam her Nephew...L.L.M. seem's to have a thing for GIFTED kids! ie; Liam in this story. With the requisite glasses....The McKettrick way also kinda paves the way for The Creed Family;ie Logan.
review 2: Two stories in this book both interlopping the characters together (I love books like this, it's sort of a sequel) The 1st one Sierra's Homecoming made me cry throughout the whole book, I must be horomonal or something. Sierra was struck with so many conflicting and strong emotions that you felt so bad for her, but not that she was a oh-pity-me victim. The 2nd one McKettrick's Way had another woman who has been through alot in her life and finding her way back to her first love...very good reads! less
