**Book Review- Montana Sanctuary (Resting Warrior Ranch Book 1)by Josie Jade (and Janie Crouch)

 

 

Sometimes the worst wounds can’t be seen.

Lucas Everett knows that firsthand. It's why he and his former Navy SEAL brothers created the Resting Warrior Ranch.

They aren’t doctors, but they can offer the healing freedom of their Montana range. And they specialize in training service and emotional support animals to help sooth even the worst emotional scars.

Usually, soldiers show up at their door. But this time it's Evelyn Taylor—a soldier in a very different kind of war.

She's as skittish as one of the horses Lucas gentles. But he’s learned how to be patient with animals, and he’s more than happy to be patient with this quiet beauty too.

When Evelyn’s past nightmares show up in Montana, she thinks she has to run again, but Lucas isn’t going to let that happen. He’s protected his country against the worst types of threats, and he’ll protect her too.

She’s met the rancher, but now she’s about to meet the SEAL.

 Intense and so well written both with the main characters, the community, and the people of Resting Warrior Ranch.  And don't even get me started when it comes to the psycho who has been ruthlessly chasing Evelyn.  What he's done in the past was horrific and no one seems to be able to stop him.  Some of it might be a bit tough to read for some people to read.

Lucas was over the top in a good way when it came to helping Evelyn.  He approached her so carefully and tenderly recognizing that she was traumatized. 

I really enjoyed that both Evelyn and Lucas each shared their points of view in the story.

Lena is such a great additional quirky, with a big heart person  in the story who befriends Evelyn.  Something that scared the heck out of Evelyn.  Because she has enough fear for herself and even more for anyone getting hurt just because they are close to her. 

The intensity increases as the creepy guy gets closer and closer and as he taunts everyone. You know darn well things are going to get worse before they get better right?

I was very happy with how the story ended.  But I do what to come back to this ranch and read more stories about Lena and Grace and their stories that were hinted at with more guys from the ranch.

 I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
