Bestselling Author's New Series Delivers Romance and Adventure as an SAR
Team Searches for Others--and Finds Themselves
Search and rescue pilot Kacey Fairing is home on leave in Mercy Falls, Montana, twelve years after she joined the military to escape the mistakes of her past. With a job waiting for her as the new lead pilot of Peak Rescue in Glacier National Park, Kacey hopes to reconnect with the now-teenage daughter she sees only between deployments. What she doesn't realize is that someone else is also back in town.
Ben King has been building his country music career since the day Kacey shut him out of her life. Now all of that's on hold when his injured father calls him home to help run Peak Rescue until he's fully recovered. It doesn't take long, though, to discover his father's ulterior motives as Kacey Fairing walks into the house and back into his heart.
With Mercy Falls in a state of emergency due to flash floods, Kacey and Ben are forced to work together to save lives. But when floodwaters turn personal, can they put aside the past to save their future?

My Review:
Susan
May Warren is one of my favorite writers. Everything she composes turns to gold.
Of course, when she mentioned that she wrote another series with a new family
quickly after completing the popular Christiansen family, I couldn't wait to
jump at the chance to read this new series. Warren always gives her readers
characters who are lovable and relatable while giving a story that sticks long
after the story is complete.
Just
like her Christiansen family series, the new Montana Series will feature a continuing
saga of a family. In the first installment, I met Ben King, a country music
star, who travels home to help his aging father. He is a man with a lot of
regret and a need to seek God to forgive him from his past mistakes. I truly
enjoyed getting to know him. As for the heroine, Kacey, she wants to free her
emotions from the memory of her passed relationship with Ben. I didn't feel
like I really knew either character pretty well. I understood their dark wounds
and want motivated them to move, but they still felt like a cartoon character
to me.
The
research and writing was concise and clear. I had no problem figuring out who
was speaking and who was the main perspective in each section or chapter. I
really enjoy how Warren drags me into the setting and invites me to stick
around in a place that I physically haven't visited. In Wild Montana Skies, Warren had to do research on how a search and
rescue team and helicopter rescue works. It flowed well with the plot. It
didn't take me away from the story.
While
the characters were interesting, I really had a hard time wanting to stay
involved in the story. It read like every other story about a couple who has a
kid and someone disappears. This plotline has been overdone. As for the rest of
the story, it featured the romance that Kasey and Ben try to stay away from,
but, of course, they fail. The romance led the plot while the hunt for a dead
couples body is pushed to the back end, not being a center story like I thought
it would be. I wasn't glued to the
action like I usually am with Warren's books.
The
spiritual elements of learning to forgive run rampant throughout the story. The
concept of a search and rescue is associated on a whole new level. Ben and
Kasey need to search for their truth about their past mistakes, then they learn
to be rescued by God's love. A lesson everyone needs in life. Everyone can read Wild Montana Skies. I recommend this book for fans of Susan May
Warren's other books, Becky Wade, and Beth K. Vogt.
In
true familial fashion, Susan May Warren welcomes her fans into the Glacier
National Park where she invites you to stick around and enjoy spending time
with her newest family.
I received a complimentary copy of Wild Montana Skies from Revell
Publishing and the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
