This is a wonderful western historical romance. I loved Monti and Joseph. Each of these characters learns how to cope in the wilderness in different ways. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. Both characters learn to trust in God again. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

I knew from the first few pages that this would be a great adventure. Joseph has been assigned to escort Monti Bergerson safely. I laughed when they meet and Joseph is shocked to find out Monti is a woman. Their journey will take them into dangerous territories and Joseph isn't sure Monti will survive. He tries everything to talk her out of going, but to no avail.

Monti is one tough woman. After losing her mother she decides to take a trip to minister to the Indians. I loved her faith and how determined she was to do what God had called her to do. I can't imagine being in the wilderness having to depend on a stranger to keep me safe. I loved the description of the area and how protective Joseph was of Monti. When it became obvious that Monti knew nothing about cooking, I had to laugh. Monti and I have something in common when it comes to cooking. Many disasters later, my husband is the official cook in the family.

It was nice to read about Monti meeting Joseph's sister. Emma is a gentle person and made Monti feel right at home. There is a part in the story where the two main characters share a moment that was written so eloquently that I found it to be one of the best parts of the story. The author does a good job of talking about Monti being with the Indians. It shows how gentle her heart is and how brave she is to tend to their needs. It is a good story that has adventure, faith and romance. I enjoyed getting to know Monti and Joseph. Will they find what they are looking for to be happy?

"The things that happened to you don't have the power to make you more or less than that. It's up to you to decide whether you'll live up to His plan for you."

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )

I enjoyed this read, the second book in this series, and yes it does read alone, but we are reunited with past characters.
I loved how these characters lived their faith, and then shared their love of God with others.
The setting is the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and the author’s word pictures are beautiful. We are with Joseph when he picks up Monti to lead her to her uncle, and finds out Monti is not a guy.
I loved how Monti shares her knowledge with the Indians and seems to have a lot of compassion for others, including Joseph. Can these two hurting individuals forge a relationship. Watch as this journey continues and we are let into their lives.

I received this book through Celebrate Lit Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
