Hearts of Montana Faith's Mountain Home, Book 3, (Paperback)

What a wonderful conclusion to the Hearts of Montana series. I was sucked right in as I was waiting for Lauras story after getting to know her in book two. I love how this author gives us hope and it shines through even in the midst of difficult times. I enjoy reading about the 1800s and how difficult life must have been in such rugged country and with unscrupulous people. This book is a complete package with adventure, romance, faith, and history. The characters come alive on the page and I loved the addition of Eagle Soaring and Bright Sun and also revisiting characters from previous books. I definitely recommend reading. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

This book is the third book in Hearts of Montana series and it continues the journey of Nate and Aaron with fluency, skill, and depth expected from this beloved author in 1867 Montana Territory. I would highly recommend reading this series in order since the each book picks up where the previous left off. Laura struggles from her kidnapping incident though she's settled in to being the town doctor's assistant. Her sweet, tender, and ever helpful spirit is also stricken with the fact that she accidentally shattered Aaron's leg. Nate, Aaron's twin and a reformed thief, works hard and saves every penny so that he can repay those whom he robbed in the past. Though plagued by past insecurities and hurts, Laura and Nate cling to their faith and hope, which is incredibly heart-warming. This book is a bit different from the author's usual fare - it concentrates less on battling wintery forces and wilderness of the western mountainous frontier but centers around the growing mining town and the dangers of greed. The themes of overcoming adversity and bitterness, true forgiveness, as well as relying on God and His strength and timing are studded throughout the story and bring much hope when Laura and Nate are facing difficulties and uncertainties. If you enjoy historical romance, you will definitely enjoy this book. I received the book via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment.
