What is this book about?

When Deputy Sam Brooks commits to something, nothing can sway him–not just on the job as liaison between the Mercy Falls sheriff’s department and PEAK Rescue, but in his private life. He’s the one who stuck around to take care of his mother after his father’s accidental death. And he’s the one–perhaps the only one–who believes Sierra Rose is the perfect girl for him. Safe, practical, and organized, she’s nothing like her hippie, impulsive, bleeding heart sister, Willow.

Willow, however, has been in love with Sam Brooks for as long as she can remember. But she wants her sister to have a happy ending. Besides, Willow has other things to focus on–namely, nabbing the job as youth pastor for her small-town church. Best thing for her to do is to purge Sam from her heart.

Neither can predict the events that will bring them together in a fight for their lives in the forbidding wilderness of Glacier National Park. Stranded, injured, and with the winter weather closing in, Sam and Willow will have to work together to save a crew of terrified teenagers. As they fight to survive, they might just discover a new hope for love.

My review:

Heart stopping suspense and sweet romance filled the pages of this story. This was a story that had me staying up way past my bedtime to find the happily ever after.

I just loved Willow. She was a faith filled person whose love for God shined through her. I so admired that about her. I was privileged enough to know someone like that in real life so I appreciate the rarity and beauty of those types of people.

Sam was a little harder to like because he was so angry and judgmental. However, his loyalty redeemed him and I really enjoyed watching him fall for Willow. They were a great match.

There was lots of suspense but a few too many bears for my liking. 😮 I struggled with the number of characters in the story. I wasn’t able to keep track them all.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Willow and her finding love.

What I didn’t like about this book:

Too many characters and too many bears.

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. The characters were real and the inspirational thread was deep. And there was lots of suspense. This is the second book in the series. While it can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the first book in the series beforehand.

I received this book complimentary in a giveaway. I was not required to give a review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
