Mail-Order Viscountess, Lords of the Rockies Series Book 3 by Misty M. Beller

This was an excellent read.  I couldn't get enough of it!  It checked all the boxes for me!  When the older family members, brothers and their wives plan a mail-order bride unbeknownst to Thomas, he is not too happy.  But he feels he will just pay her way back to her previous home.  She arrives, along with a sister in tow and their story begins.  There is lots of adventure, and the scene in Montana seems pretty accurate with unexpected blizzard and its trials that go along with it.  I wasn't able to put the book down as there was no slow paced parts.  Always lots going on and so, yes, it was a page-turner for me.  Can't say enough.

Saving The Mountain Man's Legacy (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Book 8)

I have read each of the books of this series.  Why? Because I absolutely loved every single one.  It is such a captivating series.  I loved book 8 because it tells the story of Sampson and his unexpected bride. The characters of previous books of the series appear and take an active part in this book, as well. As Grace and Sampson and an abandoned baby first meet a great story begins.  It was a book that I could not put down and I was so happy that I had the opportunity to read this riveting story.

Guarding the Mountain Man's Secret (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Book 7)

This was such a good book.  I could really feel the pressure felt by Clara as she tried to protect the Coulters and also her father, whose life had been threatened.  This was a book that keeps you on your toes and as with most of this author's books, there is no shortage of action and lots of great reading. Clara is a very engaging character and has lots of decisions to make in this story.  There is also a "next" book yet to come and having read all of this series, I am not going to want to miss book 8!

Winning the Mountain Man's Love (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Book 5) By Misty M. Beller

This story is a really nice read and the author really can create a great frontier setting. Since my granddaughter will be going to Montana in less than a month, I loved reading about the open beauty of this state.

The story of Patsy (Patience) is an interesting one as she works the gambling tables to survive.  She needs to earn money to reach a higher goal in her life... until the unexpected happens and she finds herself being transported to her orphaned niece.  As is the frontier life, there is always danger ahead.  This book is full of adventure and description of this location and time frame.  I highly recommend it!

Rocky Mountain Journey Book 3 Sisters of the Rockies by Misty M. Beller

Book 3 is a continuation of the first two books of this series.  It is a very engaging story about 4 sisters who are trying to fulfill their father's dying wish to return a beaded heirloom to an Peigan Blackfoot woman who saved his life years ago.  Grant is trying to find a brother who he lost contact with when their parents passed.  The two together work to help one another reach their goals.  But there are many challenges ahead of them as they travel through rugged country.  I really enjoyed this series and do recommend them them.  It is a fast read because you will want to know what happens!

Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure by Misty M. Beller (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Book 2)

Book 2 of this series did not disappoint.  I had a hard time tearing myself away from the book to take care of things I needed to do.  I loved this book.  It completely engaged me and I could see the events happening in my mind as the book described them.  The main characters are both good people and yet because of the circumstances, neither can immediately trust the other.  Yet there is a definite attraction between the two.  But will it be enough.  Jude can definitely not be with someone who does not have his Christian faith.  And Angela was not raised in the same beliefs.  As their journey together continues, there are many treacherous events that cause them to question the other person.  It's a great read and I really was captivated by it.  Highly recommend!

Rocky Mountain Promise by Misty M. Beller (Sisters of the Rockies Book 2)

I totally went back in time with this book.  The writing was so engaging that putting the book down was a difficult thing to do.  The characters were real and unique.  The storyline was new and fresh and original.  The setting was rugged yet beautiful to visualize.  It was so enjoyable that I highly recommend it to you.  I can't wait for what the author will write next.  I don't want to miss any of her books.  This book had lots of unexpected events.  And it blends in well with the first book of the series. This rugged period had so much to deal with and so different than today's life, that it was fascinating to see what things occurred to those forging a new life in a wild and untamed land.  I can't wait for book 3!

Christmas Bells and Wedding Vows (A Marriage of Convenience Anthology) Jody Hedlund, Lacy Williams, Misty M. Beller

What a fun collection!  Each of the three novellas were interesting and page turners.  I absolutely loved them and read them with very few breaks because I couldn't stop till I found out how things turned out.  They were each historical romance fiction and there was always a little adventure along with the romance.  The characters were all engaging and interesting throughout.  The storylines were captivating and the backdrop western states were so beautiful to read about.  They were Christian and I loved that as well. The Christmas based stories left you with a Christmas Spirit of family tradition and love.

Rocky Mountain Rendezvous by Misty M. Beller (Sisters of the Rockies Book 1)

Another great book by this author. I really enjoyed this historical fiction book and as usual it is filled with adventure and of course there is romance.  I loved the story of the four sisters fulfilling their father's last request to return a special item to a Piegan Blackfoot woman who saved his life a long time ago.  But where to find her, that is no easy task, if even possible at all. This was a Christian fiction which I totally enjoy.  I enjoyed the love and caring that the sisters gave to one another.

Honor's Mountain Promise By Misty M. Beller (Hearts of Montana)

This was another great book by this author.  I loved the action, the romance, and the trials of faith that the characters had to deal with.  The trials were difficult for both and required working together and faith in God to overcome.  The book was novella length but was perfect for this story. I really loved reading this book, so good!

 This is a great adventure reading experience.  I really enjoy this author's books and the characters that she develops.  As Charlotte heads to a fort two days away, she runs into lots of unexpected trials.  As well as a man she doesn't know whether to trust or not. Yet, she has little choice as a serious snowstorm causes them to find shelter.

It's a very enthralling book that will keep you reading till the end.  The characters are such that you really enjoy reading about them. This entire series has been one that I feel so lucky to have read.  I love the hidden village in the caves and the people that find refuge there. I love how Charlotte and Damien are not perfect, but good people who have their individual struggles.  I really liked the book and look forward to the author's future works.

Calm in the Mountain Storm by Misty M. Beller (Call of the Rockies Series) Book 9

 This book grabbed my attention from page 1.  I am a real fan of this amazing author.  She writes the most amazing historical books.  I knew that I would need to read this book, too!  So glad I did.  This is an author who understands the history for the time period she writes.  

The book is a wonderful addition to this series.  There is always adventure, and of course, romance in her books.  This one did not fail in these categories. I love the missionaries and the trust in God.

There is sadness in the book and it is very touching.  If you like these features in a book, I highly recommend it.  Any of this author's books, actually.  You won't want to miss a single book!.

Grace on the Mountain Trail by Misty M. Beller (Call of the Rockies Series book #8)

This author knows how to write a wonderful western adventure.  Book 8 was the story of Lola and White Owl.  As Lola ventures out with a friend and his son to find her 1/2 brother, many obstacles come in their way.  As she finds an Indian close to death, things change as she nurses him back to health.  

Her safety begins to be at risk as the search for her brother continues.  What or who is attempting to prevent her from finding him?  You can see the hand of God in their trek as they continue onward. It was enjoyable to see ties from the previous books and become reacquainted with the characters of previous books.  This was really an enjoyable book and I was so happy that I read it!

A Healer's Promise by Misty M. Beller (Brides of Laurent)

I haven't read a single book by this author that I didn't love.  And this one started out great and just kept right on!  It's a story of a little village in the Canadian Rockies in the 1800's.  The people are good people, but Levi, finds himself in a compromised position as an enemy to these people, but a man with a great heart, nonetheless. And Audrey's heart tells her he is a good person and helps him escape from his captivity.  I was enthralled as the story takes them away from her home and people in an effort to protect him.  

The characters are really likeable in every way.  There is lots of adventure and danger and action.  No dull moments to skim past quickly.  It is a well-written romance and speaks to me of faith and trusts.  Great book.  And you won't want to miss this one.  It is book 2 of a series, but reads well as a stand-alone also.

Peace in the Mountain Haven by Misty M. Beller (Call of the Rockies Series Book 7)

 

Misty Beller knows how to write about adventure.  As Hugh is asked to ensure that Watkuese and her 6 year old daughter make it safely to their destination, he finds the young girl much more of a challenge than he expected.  At the same time he sees something very special in Watkuese despite not having expected it at all.

Both Hugh and his brother, who is traveling with him, are wonderful characters and as they experience many hardships to overcome, you can see their personalities shining through. The entire series has been exceptional and this book is a wonderful addition to the previous books.  There was drama, action and romance as the book progresses.

The author did an excellent job on this book.  And I am lucky to have an opportunity to read it!
