Love's Mountain Quest (Hearts of Montana Book #2)

If you enjoy stories set in the mountains along with perils and suspense. then you will love Beller’s latest in “Hearts of Montana” series. We visit once again a young widow Johanna, with her small boy as she takes up residence in the small town of Settler’s fort. She does laundry for others to eke out a living for her and her son. Then the unthinkable happens her son and the young lady who was watching him have been kidnapped by a band of outlaws. Joanna enlists the help of Isaac Bowen, a mountain man who’s aided her once before. Bowen would usually stop by when he was in town to see if they needed anything and this happened to be that day. Together, they set off to recover her son and the friend who was stolen with him. Bowen feels like he knows who they are and where they have taken them. The old beast of his past rises up to haunt him. Many hardships and dangers that the mountains holds fight against them and slow them down. Of course Johanna is beside herself with worry about her son and if they will ever catch up with them. Though this horrible time of their following the scant trail of the outlaws, they find themselves drawing closer to God and each other. You will find yourself turning the pages to see what awaits their search……. I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This is the second of the Hearts Of Montana series, but it is a standalone book. Ms. Beller does it again with this one. After the son and friend of Joanna disappear, she enlists the help of Issac to go and find them. The story covers their adventures of their quest to find the missing pair. I love Ms. Beller's books. They are so full of detail, you can see the places she describes. I highly recommend this book for anyone that likes historical romance. It also contains references from the Bible that I really like. You won't go wrong with this book. I was given a copy, but my review is how I feel.

Captivating story that keeps you pulled in from beginning to end. The characters in this book are interesting and the author gives us a detailed enough description you can envision them as you are reading. The story begins with Joanna Watson and her young son, Samuel. Joanna is widowed and struggling. Isaac Bowen has been keeping an eye on Joanna for months now and he wishes he could do more but he knows a woman like her would never want the likes of him or so he thinks. When Samuel and their friend Laura are taken captive Isaac is the only one that can help bring them back. I love that this book not only gives us great detail of the characters and the surroundings but we get not only Joanna and Isaac's telling of the story but also Laura so it revolves around these three characters and what is happening to Laura and Samuel and what is happening with Joanna and Isaac as they hunt for them. Heart wrenching at times and surprises and scares along the way but a great story. I am hopeful Laura will get her own story from this too. I received an early copy to read and review and give my honest opinion. I truly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it.
