Montana Sanctuary (Resting Warrior Ranch) Paperback – January 28, 2022

Read the first book and now I cannot wait to read the rest!! Excellent writing, great story, and wonderful characters.

I really liked this one.The characters were well developed & the plot kept me guessing. I couldn’t put it down towards the end. I had to know what happened, I was so into it.I enjoyed the two main characters. I especially felt empathy for Evelyn. She was such a warrior. I admired her spirit.The romance is paced nicely. Hero falls first and hard but he never rushes the heroine which was just swoon worthy. He was super protective but never possessive. The romance can seem like insta-love but the characters don’t act on their feelings until midway through the book. I liked that they took the time to know each other and open up about their lives. It made the relationship believable for me.I think the pacing was great. It was a bit of a slow build with twists and an exciting end. I think the writing was good too.Narrators did a fantastic job with this one. I really liked their style and thought they matched the characters.A good suspense plot with a lovely romance. Definitely bingeable. Can’t wait to continue the series.

Liked the story. Great back story. You truly felt her emotions. Will read the rest of the series. Thank you

Finally a romance with a plot! This book kept me interested and pulling for the pair to win!!! Well developed characters with vivid scenes.

I enjoyed this storyline and the happily ever after that came with it. So much strength in Evelyn’s story and it kind of hit home for me.

Fun quick read! I devoured it in one day!! Some triggers regarding stalking but a tightly packed exciting story! Very fun.

I think my least favorite romance novel trope is when the hero tells the heroine that he’ll keep her safe…and then proceeds not to. Typically, because of a dumb decision by the heroine and the hero being outsmarted by the villain. And this book lives up to that to the letter. The rest of the story wasn’t bad, but I think the hero could have been better developed…I still didn’t feel like I knew him after 270 pages.And a lot of other things either don’t make sense or are inconsistent. How is it that one interaction causes Nathan to become a completely different person? Not buying that. And why would Lena ask her friend (who she knows is getting death threats) to come meet her on a dark highway at one AM? She could have called Grace! And why couldn’t Lucas’ guys have called the Linear Tactical IT guru? And how did the SEALs afford to buy what sounds like a luxury ranch? And seem to make good money off of it (when most of what they do is charity-oriented/not likely to pay well?) And…how did a bunch of bad-ass Navy seals not see Nathan being at that cabin was a distraction technique. And how did some rich kid get the better of not one, but two of said bad-ass seals. There were also sloppy oversights…the number of horses on the ranch changed, Noah and Liam at one point magically switch places. I can’t remember the other, but anyway…

I liked this love story of Lucas and Evelyn in Montana. The characters are likeable and the action is intense. Evelyn has been running for four years from her ex boyfriend, Nathan, who was extremely abusive and threatened to kill her if he ever found her. When she ends up at Resting Warrior Ranch that is run by Lucas and former Navy Seals who help those with PTSD. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy romantic suspense that is intense. This is my voluntary and honest review.

What a great book, my first one by the author. Easy to read and follow story line, kept me attached from page one. Lots of suspense
