She's never left her home in the mountain wilderness of the Canadian Rockies--until now. Little did she realize this journey would change her life in every way.

The mountain wilderness of her family's  home in the Canadian Rockies is all Hannah Grant has ever known. Now at the age of twenty-four, she's on a journey to help her father to find the son he gave up for adoption three decades before. This is Hannah's chance to discover the life she's missed out on so far--and hopefully find a husband along the way. But she certainly doesn't plan to fall for the first man she meets.

Years in the cavalry provided Nathaniel Peak with more than his share of violence and adventure. That life behind him, he wants nothing more than to settle down in the beautiful Montana mountains and raise his own stock--in peace. The last thing he expects is the savagely wounded child who shows up in his barn. Nor the woman he comes to rely on for the girl's care.

Hannah can't help but fall in love with the brave Indian child who so desperately needs her, but no matter what, she can't let herself fall for the man whose past choices go against everything she believes in. As the situation grows worse, Hannah and Nathaniel are forced to make a heart-rending decision to save the girl's life. Little do they imagine, the choice they make could spell disaster for them all.


MY  REVIEW
It is with great sadness I am writing this review as I hate to see this series end. It has been so enjoyable I can't think about not reading on. This is a series that needs to be read in order and this last book brings characters back from some of the earlier ones. I see Misty has one series that I have not read yet, three books, and is starting a new series which the first book should be out in October. I really encourage you to take a chance on Misty's books, you will want to read them all too!

This Daring Journey by Misty M Beller - Review of the sixth book in the Heart of the Mountains series

The only hope to keep her newborn baby alive is to reach the safety of her Indian people... This mountain man is the last person she should trust to get her there.

As a half-Indian raised among her Peigan tribe, Moriah Clark knows better than to trust white people. The tragedy that resulted in her birth is proof enough. But when her trusted grandfather marries her to a white man, she has no choice but to obey and hope this new life isn't her downfall. Her white husband turns out to be a decent sort, but his unexpected death left her to birth a newborn baby among hostile mountain men. She wants nothing more than to retreat to the safe haven of her tribal upbringing. When a mysterious frontiersman arrives on her doorstep seeking her deceased husband, his offer to escort her and the babe to her people seems like the opportunity she's been praying to find. But can she trust him?

Samuel Grant has been sent to retrieve Henry Clark for his sister's wedding, but the sight that greets him at the little cabin in the woods is not what he expected. Not only has the man died, but Henry's wife is fighting off an aggressive gang of men at gunpoint--while trying to conceal a newborn. He can't leave the pair unattended, so helping her travel into the mountain country to reach her family seems like the only option. If he can win her trust, that is.

Such a grueling journey with a three-week-old baby will be risky, but the challenges that arise test them far more than either expected. When a devastating surprise increases the danger ten-fold, Moriah focuses all her efforts on keeping her newborn daughter alive. Maybe that's why she doesn't realize how much of her heart belongs to the mountain man--until it's too late.


MY  REVIEW
Yet another great story in the continuing series, a series you 'must' read in order and I promise will fall in love with.

She's desperate for a new life in the Canadian mountains.... He's the last person she should trust to get her there.

After he husband's death, Rachel Gray is finally free from the turmoil his addictions caused. She wants nothing more than a new life with her 12-year-old son. If she can reach her brother in the wilderness of the Canadian territories,, they'll have help to start over in peace. She knows better than to put her life in the hands of another man, but she never expected the Montana mountains to be so treacherous. When two brothers invite her to join their small group traveling to the same area, she refuses. After she and her son narrowly escape a bear attack, she's forced to admit they need the safety of numbers in this untamed land. If the men prove dangerous, she can always leave with her son and strike out alone again.

Seth Grant has made some bad choices in his life, but God healed him from the addiction that mired him in his sins. Now, he's determined to live the life God called him to, starting with a journey northward to see the Canadian mountain both his brother and sister have fallen in love with. When he discovers the woman and boy who plan to travel the same mountain trail, he can't fathom why she refuses to join in the safety of their larger group. Though her decision seems unwise, he has no other choice but to pray God provides her protection.

Despite Rachel's best efforts, she can't seem to fight her attraction to the Seth - until a secret from his past proves he's not at all the man she thought. When a new peril threatens her son's life, she must choose between trusting in what she can control, or the man who her heart says is trustworthy, no matter his previous sins. The path she chooses just may determine whether she can step into the new life God has in store for them all.
