**Book Review- Montana Desire (Resting Warrior Ranch #3) by Josie Jade, Janie Crouch

 

 No one is guaranteed tomorrow.

Grant Carter knows that fact intimately. The shrapnel sitting on his spine from an IED is a daily reminder.

But the constant pain won’t stop him from working at the Resting Warrior Ranch, training service and emotional support animals to help people with PTSD—something else he’s intimately familiar with.

He’ll fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.

When his neighbor, shy veterinarian Cori Jackson, is humiliated by her ex-boyfriend for things she’d like to experiment with in bed, Grant is more than happy to show her real men aren’t threatened by an adventurous spirit.

The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes the literal girl-next-door is the one for him. And when Cori finds herself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy surrounding the animals she treats, Grant will make sure she makes it out alive.

He's a fighter. Was one in the Navy SEALs and still is one today. And he’ll fight for Cori.

Even if it costs him everything.

Cori was great and so was Grant.   The pressure that they 

were both individually under was very well shown.  It takes

a while for Cori to really "see" Grant but when she does, 

"oh yeah".  Grant was into her early on but knew she 

already had a boyfriend.  So, he kept his hands off.  He 

was also dealing with massive pain in his shrapnel back

 injury. Once again so well described.  

 

Wow, Joel (Cori's boyfriend/ex boyfriend) was one selfish 

jerk.  No, I can do better than that.  He was a snake and I 

kept waiting for him to strike again.  And again.  And he 

does live up to that by slithering his way around.

The romance between Grant and Cori was often so sweet 

and tender  One phrase that I really liked was when Grant

 would ask Corri, "Are you with me?"   But I was also 

surprised that it also included hot times that had some 

BDSM scenes.  But I will say that,  even though this is not 

something that I look for, the bondage scene in this book 

was gently and carefully done.

Things really kickoff as the dangers start increasing.  They

 kickoff so hard and fast that it became edge of the seat 

reading. The end of the story comes to a really good end

 with an equally good Epilogue. 

   " I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this 

book,  and this is my honest opinion about it.
