The Heart's Most Wanted (Rocky Mountain Marshals #2) by Mary Connealy

The Heart's Most Wanted (Rocky Mountain Marshals #2)
ABOUT THE BOOK

US Marshal Morgan Sawyer rides into the treacherous Rocky Mountains on a mission to find fellow Marshal Tex, who vanished while they were escorting a dangerous prisoner. But ranchwoman Roz Beck insists on riding beside him, despite Morgan's protests. Joined by newlyweds Owen and Delaney, and Roz's young son, they push deep into the wilderness.

Widowed Roz was wounded in love when her now-deceased husband abandoned her, leaving her alone to raise a child. While her heart longs for love, for her son's sake, she'll settle for a man she trusts like Morgan, her childhood friend. When a shadowy figure begins prowling the search party's camp at night, the group realizes that something more than the wilderness poses a threat to their quest of bringing Tex to safety. Will the looming danger strengthen Morgan and Roz's growing feelings and faith in each other, or will it be their breaking point?

With witty banter, a rugged hero, and a spirited heroine, Mary Connealy presents another action-packed installment in her Rocky Mountain Marshals series.








MY THOUGHTS.....

Historical western romance has become one of my favorite book genres! I credit much of this to author Mary Connealy, because she writes books that keep me cheering the heroes and disliking the villains. In this book, the Rocky Mountain Marshals are the obvious heroes, but it took me a while to determine the villain!

Owen, Morgan, and Tex encounter multiple challenges as U.S. marshals in The Heart's Most Wanted. Winter is approaching, and they face danger from both man and nature in the rugged Colorado terrain.

I was intrigued by the questions surrounding Tex's disappearance and the "ghostly" figure lurking in the background. I enjoyed the mystery, but I absolutely loved the romance, witty dialogue, and inspiration! I recommend The Heart's Most Wanted to all who enjoy historical western romance, and I look forward to Tex and Stella's upcoming story.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

Montana Christmas Target by Terri Reed

Montana Christmas Target
ABOUT THE BOOK

Running from armed gunmen — and seeking a safe refuge.

Sculptor Fiona Halverson is shocked to stumble upon her ex-fiancĂ©’s murder—just before a masked attacker attempts to abduct her. She’s rescued by FBI Special Agent Bryce Springs, who is investigating a counterfeit ring that points directly to Fiona’s art gallery. Forced to flee from a dangerous crime boss during a brutal blizzard, Fiona and Bryce must uncover how her gallery became part of a criminal operation—and prove her innocence. Facing armed adversaries and the treacherous storm, they’ll risk everything to expose the truth. But with every step, the fight for justice becomes a battle for their very survival.




MY THOUGHTS.....

Poor Fiona! Her ex-fiancé's been murdered, someone has tried to kidnap her, and she's suspected of involvement in a counterfeit ring. Could things get any worse? Only if you consider being caught in a blizzard as being worse!

Terri Reed is one of my go-to authors for romantic suspense! I can always count on a fast-paced story with danger, adventure, and multifaceted characters enduring physical and emotional challenges! I loved the growing attraction between Fiona and Bryce as they battled both man and nature. Could this FBI agent help Fiona prove her innocence? Would they overcome their mutual trust issues to give their relationship a chance?

Are you looking for a book you won't want to put down? I recommend Montana Christmas Target to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense!
