Wild Montana Skies (Montana Rescue Book #1) by Susan May Warren

Book Description:

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?

She did it again; Warren exceeded my expectations! Wild Montana Skies is a firm foundation for Warren's newest series, Montana Rescue. This is a romantic adventure novel filled with action, faith, drama and not only a superb plot line but also secondary ones as well! The theme of this novel is second chances. Not only is this a first loves novel about Ben and Kacey, but along with their second chance at love is the prodigal story of faith woven in. Warren does an exceptional job of tying this all in together. We are shown the truth that no matter how far we run or how far we fall, He is there waiting with open arms to restore us to a right relationship with Him. We cannot out sin Him, His grace is sufficient. And we can not out run His love. He can take our mistakes and bring forth beauty from ashes, and wash away our sin and shame. Beautiful!

As I mentioned, this novel has plenty of action and between that and the relationship dramas I was glued! Seriously, I could not put it down and had to stay up and finish this book late last night. The characters are so well written, and not just the main characters but also the secondary ones as well. I am fascinated and cannot wait to see all these story threads play out through the series.

For those of you who read the prequel, If Ever I Would Leave You, you will be thrilled to see Ian and Sierra's story continue in Book 1. Warren's most recent series, Montana Fire does have a tie-in to this one but if you have not read that series you will be okay. This novel can be read as a stand alone, although I would read the prequel first if you can. I just like having all the back story information.

Highly worth the read! I cannot wait for Book 2 due out at the end of January 2017! Thank you Susie for another fantastic read!
