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!

Wild Montana Skies (Montana Rescue #1) - Susan May Warren

I got the chance to read the prequel to this series, If Ever I Would Leave You, and while it was a good story, it was incomplete, so I wanted to read more to see what happened to Ian and Sierra.  What I discovered was if you want to know what happens to those two, you’re going to have to read all three books (I’m hoping the third book is about them).

Kacey’s come back to her hometown with a bronze star for her service and a broken spirit.  The last person she wants to see is Ben, who abandoned her 13 years ago and never looked back.  He’s come back to care for his father and feels like Kacey’s moved on and doesn’t need him anymore.  There’s just the small matter of the daughter Ben doesn’t know about.  Finding out about her makes Ben question what he wants for the future, but if Kacey won’t let him in, what’s he going to do?

While I really loved the story of Kacey and Ben, I was disappointed that everything related to Ian, Sierra and Esme is STILL unresolved.  I looked forward to the characters in the next book, and that one’s more about Sam and Willow, characters that you meet in the prequel and this first book, but I’m sure there’s plenty of Ian and Sierra in there to keep you interested in them.

The story of Kacey and Ben gets 5 stars, but I want to give it 4 just because I’m irritated about the continued cliffhanger of Ian and Sierra.  I feel like I got tricked into getting involved in a series where I’m going to have to get all the books and read them in order to find out what happens.  Normally I wouldn’t have started the series had I known that.  On the other hand, Warren has a good style and kudos to her for creating characters I care about enough to bend my rules.  I’ll be keeping my eyes open for the second book, Rescue Me, due out January 2017, and hoping the author puts me out of my misery with the third book.  All in all, 4.5 stars.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Revell through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
