Love's Mountain Quest by Misty M Beller - Review of the second book in the Hearts of Montana series

BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB

(copied from Amazon.com)

Young widow Joanna Watson is struggling to make a new home for her five-year-old son, Samuel, in the little mountain town of Settler's Fort. When she returns home from work to find Samuel and the woman watching him missing, with no lawman in town, she enlists a man she prays has enough experience in this rugged country to help.

Isaac Bowen wants nothing more than a quiet, invisible life in these mountains, far away from the bad decisions of his past. But he has a strong suspicion of who's behind the kidnapping, and if he's right, he knows all too well the evil they're chasing.

As they press on against the elements, Joanna fights to hold on to hope, while Isaac knows a reckoning is coming. They find encouragement in the tentative trust that grows between them, but whether it can withstand the danger and coming confrontation is far from certain in this wild, unpredictable land.

MY  REVIEW

I can just never say enough about Misty Beller's books! She keeps you so interested that it's hard to put down and find myself repeating myself on reviews. You get pulled in and want to be there to help during difficult times and enjoy the faith the main characters have.

I sooooo enjoy Misty Bellers books, I even pre-order them for the Kindle, one of only two or three authors I do that for and one of the few I read on my Kindle as I do prefer paperbacks.

BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB

It's set to be a white Christmas in Hart County, and Grace King is pet-sitting with only a difficult dachshund for company. Just as she starts to miss the bustle of her large Amish family, Grace runs into a familiar face. Living right next door is John Michael Miller. He's a fireman now, but five ears ago he had courted her older sister, then broke her heart. Seeing hi again stirs Grace's anger, but also reminds her of deeper feelings she's tried to deny.

John Michael's complicated attraction to Grace still remains. He had walked away all those years ago when he realized he was falling in love with the wrong sister. Now, as suspicious fires are set in their community, Grace dismisses his warnings, and John Michael vows to keep an eye on her. But he can't help wondering if he's reconnected with Grace, only to risk losing her again.

Now all John Michael wants for Christmas is to keep Grace safe, in the hopes that they can have a future together.

MY  REVIEW

A good story to end the series, talks a little about the past, helping old friends, and the future. And oh yeah, with a good touch of mystery included. Grab a copy and enjoy!

MY  REVIEW

This was a great addition to this series and shows another side of the Amish life. They have 'problems' the same as the English do, they do handle things differently and seldom reach out to 'us' for help but sometimes it is necessary. Great book!

MY  REVIEW

Her Fear by Shelley Shepard Gray - Review of the fifth book in The Amish of Hart County series

BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB

In New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray's latest novel in the suspenseful AMISH OF HART COUNTY series, an EMT falls for a woman with ties to an Amish community where people are dying similar, suspicious deaths.

Sadie Detweiler never imagined she'd move to Kentucky, yet here she is a pregnant, unmarried Amish girl banished by unforgiving parents to live with kin she barely knows. The men are gruff and her cousins re secretive. Worst of all, elderly matriarch Verba becomes mysteriously ill shortly after Sadie moves in. When EMT Noah Freeman arrives, Sadie immediately notices he's unlike any other Amish man she's met. Noah is warm and confident, and has an easy way with practically everyone in the community, both Amish and English. Though Sadie is drawn to him, she has little hope he will reciprocate her feelings once he learns she's with child.

Noah can't understand how a girl as sweet and lovely as Sadie ended up sleeping on a cot in Verba Stauffer's kitchen. He also senses Sadie is terrified of something. Concerned, he checks up on her. Eventually they strike up a friendship and soon their attraction is undeniable. When Verba later dies at the hospital and her death is followed by two others, Noah's boss wants him to dig around the Amish community for clues. He agrees--for Sadie's sake--because only the truth will keep Sadie safe and by his side.

MY  REVIEW

This is a heartbreaking story about Sadie, to have to live in fear, will she be able to move past it? Maybe being 'made' to move is a blessing, but then is it really?  You find yourself wondering when you see what is going on in her new home. The author does a wonderful job of keeping you locked in this story.
