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!

A Matter of Trust (Montana Rescue #3) - Susan May Warren

This is the third book in the series.  There’s a prequel, If Ever I Would Leave You, followed by the first two books, Wild Montana Skies and Rescue Me.

The main characters in this one are Gage and Ella.  Gage used to be a professional on the slopes until a tragic accident.  Ella was responsible for destroying his life.  Now she’s back and ends up asking Gage to find her brother, who decided to attempt a dangerous descent of his own.

We’re also following Ty and Brette, Ella’s friend.  Brette is a journalist who claims to be looking for a story about a hero, but she looks for the dirt on everyone she meets.  Ty draws her attention, but there seems to be something about him that he’s hiding, and she wants to find out what it is.  To a lesser degree, we’re also reading about Jess and Pete.

I had issues with this one.  First, all the descriptions of skiing and snowboarding weren’t my cup of tea, so after reading numerous scenes about it, I ended up skimming a lot.  Also, we’re still not getting any resolution to the Ian/Sierra story line.  It was barely mentioned, but it still bothered me since it’s the reason I keep reading these books.  It sounds like there’s more to come, seeing as the end of this one is a cliffhanger involving Jess.

Personally, I’m done with the series.  The prequel got me invested in Ian and Sierra, and yet there’s never any resolution or progression to their story.  I feel like I’m getting strung along.  Also, the way this one ended, I have a feeling the next one might be about Ty/Brette and Jess/Pete.  And since I REALLY didn’t like Brette’s character, I’m out.  The series started out well, but I’m done.

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