Nadine has a way of taking characters that would not usually be the main character and making their stories shine. Abigaia is a delightful main character, and her journey is a fantastic tale of finding home.

I expected that I would be giving this book two or three stars when I was a quarter of the way through. I was frustrated with the characters and was praying that it would get better. Thankfully, I had a reason to root for Ham and Signe by the end, and I got the resolution that I wanted to a long-running plotline.

The beautiful cover drew me in, and the synopsis captured my attention enough to give this book a try. I was not disappointed. This story has mystery, growth, and a dash of romance with the Cornish moors as a backdrop.

Poor Aria cannot get a break. I think after the events of this book, she will refuse to ever go on vacation again. Last time, she fell off a mountain, and now she is stuck in the Keys during a hurricane. Fortunately, she has Jake to come to her rescue while causing some chaos of his own. This is an action-packed thrill ride that I would have given five stars to except for the yo-yo effect of the push away – pull together aspects of the romance.

The Way of the Brave puts the suspense into the Romantic Suspense genre. Unlike most of the books in the genre, this one does not have a human antagonist. Instead, the characters face off against the unforgiving Mt. Denali. Orion and Jenny are forced to face their past together in Afghanistan while weather traps them on the mountain. While the book got very technical on the ice climbing information, it was an enjoyable read and sets the stage nicely for Jake and Ham’s books.

Ruby Jane is a roller coaster ride of a finale for the Montana Marshalls. There are joy and sorrow, makeups and breakups, and heroes and villains. We finally have answers to questions first raised in Knox, and the Montana Marshalls series comes to a fitting conclusion.

Juwell is an outcast that is ignored by his family and failed out of the army. Eunice feels like an outcast and unable to live up to the expectations of her family and people. This story is as much about accepting ourselves and others as it is a love story.

Wyatt was the hardest of the Montana Marshalls books for me to get through. It’s a roller coaster ride of hockey, fight scenes, anxious hospital rooms, and politics in addition to relationship ups and downs. Mikka was an adorable addition to the cast, and it was nice to get more insight into Gerri and York’s characters. Unfortunately, Wyatt and Coco never really meshed well as a couple for me.

Reviving the Commander is a beautiful story about love after loss and hope in whatever circumstances you find yourself. While the story starts slowly with the backstory for the land and various character’s introductions, the story hits it’s stride and keeps a steady pace through to the end. If you are looking for a romance starring a couple past their “prime” and a clean read, this book is for you.
