4 stars
Carmen Peone delivers an intense romantic suspense story set in Montana on the Indian Reservations.
Sophie tries to protect her son from her abusive ex-husband, so she makes her way to a ranch that provides sanctuary for women like her. She asks Chad to watch her son and her ex kidnaps her son while Chad is distracted for just a minute. The two try to find her son with very little help, interviewing her ex’s family on the rez.
The story was very engaging with its true-to-life characters and sweet romance. Most of the descriptions of abuse suffered by several characters were tasteful. A few felt a little too graphic for my taste, but they were short.
Overall, the suspense in the story kept the reader wondering if Sophie would be reunited with her son and if the love story would end with a happily ever after.
I would recommend this for fans of Christian romantic suspense.
Romance: Very clean. Light kissing.
Faith: Both characters had to rely on God (“Creator”) to overcome their traumatic pasts.
