As usual Jennifer Ryan writes another great story in a new
series, MONTANA HEAT: ESCAPE TO YOU. She always gives her
female characters inexplicable strength and courage. The
females always go through horrendous situations and show
tremendous determination in getting through to the other
side. This story involves an undercover DEA Agent living
out in a remote area who is slowly healing from several
physical injuries as well as some mental ones. In the
middle of a Montana blizzard he finds a little boy that
leads him to a world famous actress that has been missing
for more than a year. The details surrounding her missing
years are the makings of what you would see on the big movie
screens. This is a psychological novel about a sadistic
serial killer, involving mental and physical abuse. But as
usual with a Jennifer Ryan novel she always shows hope with
her characters. You will always find these women to be
smart, strong and determined.
Undercover DEA Agent Beck "Trigger" Cooke has been going
through some dark moments due to his last few assignments,
one of which involved saving the lives of his brother and
future sister-in-law. So while going through this dark time
he has isolated himself out on his Hope Ranch. So during a
blizzard he finds this little boy out in this storm who
leads him to world famous actress, Ashley Swann, who the
world has not seen for over a year. While helping Ashley
and the little boy heal Beck learns all the details behind
their ordeal and his protective instincts kick in. What
this precious little boy and this smart, determined woman
did for this agent who was living in darkness is remarkable.
I really enjoyed this story that shows how one person can
change another person's perspective about life and give them
a whole new outlook. I recommend any novels by Jennifer
Ryan. Once you read one you will read others by her.
He discovered her during a Montana blizzard, freezing cold,
impossibly vulnerable, a little boy by her side. Undercover
DEA Agent Beck “Trigger” Cooke is astonished to recognize
Ashley Swan—award-winning actress, famous beauty—and missing
for over a year. To keep her and the child hidden from a
sadistic madman, he secrets the pair away to his isolated home.
No longer a prisoner, and protected at Hope Ranch, Ashley
recovers and learns the tall, tempting federal agent may
have a dark past, but it hasn’t destroyed his sense of honor.
As they shed past roles and find common ground, Ashley and
Trigger can’t help but fall slowly, carefully, in love. But
danger still lurks outside the boundaries of Hope Ranch, for
until her crazed captor is brought to justice, and Trigger’s
undercover past is laid to rest, none of them will ever be
truly safe…
