A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

If Ever I Would Leave You (Montana Rescue prequel) - Susan May Warren

This is a novella related to the author's upcoming release, Wild Montana Skies, due out October 16, 2016.

Sierra enjoys working for Ian, even if he does seem to have a death wish.  She tells herself this is the best job she'll ever have and she needs to keep her feelings hidden, unaware that he feels the same for her.  As his assistant, she also deals with his niece, Esme, who has a big decision to make about her future.  When Sierra is put in the middle of a situation that involves choosing sides between Ian and Esme, she comes up with a plan to stay out of it, but will it end up making things worse?

The characters in this were developed well, and I liked them both, even if they were a bit dense as to what was going on.  The story, in my opinion, is incomplete.  The potential relationship is carried over into the first book.  The thread about the niece is also unresolved.  Basically, nothing is resolved in this story, and I was surprised when I hit the end.  It was a "that's the end?" moment for me.

I don't see this one up on amazon, but if you want to read it, I suggest heading over to Susan May Warren's Facebook page.  There's instructions there on how to get a copy. It's a good story, but I wish the ending hadn't been so abrupt.  I may keep my eye out for Wild Montana Skies, if only to finish the story I started here.  This isn't a straightforward cliffhanger, but it's somewhat unsatisfying to spend time reading an incomplete story.
