Deputy Sam Brooks believes himself living the perfect life by being in love with Sierra Rose. She belongs in his orderly and predictable life, not like her flighty and carefree sister Willow. The two sisters couldn’t be more opposite in personality or thinking! Until one fateful trip taking a group of teens from church to Glacier Park shatters his perfect world! Fighting for their survival after an accident, can both Willow & Sam find out just how strong they can be working together?

Having read the first book of a new series “Wild Montana Skies”, it was with gleeful anticipation that I longed for this second installment of the Montana Rescue novels. Thank goodness I didn’t have to wait too long! Once the action started, each heart-pounding chapter ended on a cliff-hanger and I just couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, making me read much later in the night than I usually do! There was so much packed into this story and so many layers it had me completely engulfed, devouring the novel in just two mere days! It also had me savoring it long after I closed the final page. The romance had me smiling, anticipating how it would play out between all the characters. You can see both Willow and Sam fighting their feelings for one another for valid reasons, but really, how can you fight true love when it happens? Most importantly, I love the authors strong faith-theme that shine in these characters messy and all too real lives. She doesn’t sugarcoat the bad to tell a good story, she shows us how God fits into our all too messy lives and how He can pierce the darkness to shine His light. She knows exactly how to write beautiful stories that capture your heart and soul! She has the kind of character depth I love and quickly sweeps you into their lives, I am remiss to leave them for long. I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment to this fabulous series, in my opinion, these are not to be missed!

Susan May Warren's books have always been a huge favorite at my house! I never miss a one. She has written book two in her current series and she doesn't miss a beat. The book starts out with a draw in for the reader and the excitement only mounts with each page!

Sam Brooks is dating Sierra, but her sister Willow has held a torch for him, but knows she will never have Sam. He loves Sierra. Willow has always felt out of place in life, but she is always cheerful, always hopes for the best in everyone, always sees the bright side.

On an outing with the church youth group, Willow and Sam leading, they are in an accident and are lost in the icy wilderness, and no one knows where they are. Will they be rescued in time? There is also a rogue grizzly hanging around, too. Danger abounds here and Warren builds suspense regularly. I gasped more than once, I'll tell you that. I loved every moment of this book.

Susan May Warren has a way of building the emotional depth in a character that they seem to almost leap off the page. And during that building, she creates deep spiritual truths as well. I always come away from reading her books with a blessing and a life lesson. This book was no different. Lesson here: we all need rescuing at some time or another. We can't do it all by ourselves and it's foolish to try, especially with God standing by ready and willing to help us with everything we go through. Great truths here!

*I was given a preview copy of this book by Net Galley.

The first thing I want to say, is that I never want to hear "bro" again. I live in California, born and raised, and we DO NOT say bro a quarter as much as was used in this book. Weird thing to get hung up on, I know, but good lord it bothered the hell out of me.

With that out of the way, I enjoyed this book. While at times the writing style felt choppy, and I wasn't a fan of the continual inner thought dialogue but there were quite a few magical moments in the writing that made me gasp and squeezed my heart. It was those moments that pushed this 3 1/2 star book to a 4 star for me. I really enjoyed the story line and just loved Willow (though I struggled with what her age was, she felt 19 to me but was apparently older). A quick read, you'll get caught up in the storyline quickly, and I look forward to the next one.

Goodreads
Lots of adventure and romance in a book I’ve read really quickly and with pleasure.
It really irritates me though – and it happens often in romantic suspense – this weird tendency of authors to have their characters making out or having conversations in situations of great danger. Unbelievable!...

Rescue Me – Susan May Warren

Susan May Warren is one of my very favorite authors! I love her books. Rescue Me keeps her as one of my favorites. It is part of the Montana Rescue series. I have read all of them and anxiously await the next release!
Rescue Me picks up the story from the previous book. It is the store of Sam and Willow. Sam has his life all laid out neatly in front of him. He is a Type A kind of guy. Willow was raised in a commune. She trusts Jesus with her life. She doubts her abilities because of her lack of formal training, but she knows the Bible inside and out. She has committed the truths to heart. Although she constantly doubts her ability, and she tends not to be a planner she makes a huge impact on the people she is around. She is a servant. It’s a really sweet story full of adventure and mishaps.
Warren does a great job of following through with pervious characters and tempts the reader with stories that are hopefully coming in the future. However, I am SUPER frustrated about what is going on with Ian and Sierra. COME ON ALREADY! I WANT DETAILS!
I highly recommend this book. I will read all the future books in the series!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
