BOOK REVIEW- SUNRISE RIDGE-Noah Brandt is a successful blacksmith and businessman in Splendor, Montana, with few ties to his past as an ex-Union Army major and sharpshooter. Quiet and hardworking, his biggest challenge is controlling his strong desire for a woman he believes is beyond his reach. Abigail Tolbert is tired of being under her father’s thumb while at the same time, being pushed away by the one man she desires. Determined to build a new life outside the control of her wealthy father, she finds work and sets out to shape a life on her own terms.
Noah has made too many mistakes with Abby to have any hope of getting her back. Even with the changes in her life, including the distance she’s built with her father, he can’t keep himself from believing he’ll never be good enough to claim her.
Unexpected dangers, including a twist of fate for Abby, change both their lives, making the tentative steps they’ve taken to build a relationship a distant hope. As Noah battles his past as well as the threats to Abby, she fights for a future with the only man she will ever love. AMAZON
Both Noah and Abby were strong, interesting people. People who are too proud for their own good, especially Noah. It was like one step forward with them and then four steps back. He kisses her and then cold shoulders her; all for her own good of course. She's wealthy and he's so far below her socially and financially; its agony for everyone. Even for those around them, friends, can see how crazy in love they are with each other. The friends were also a good addition to the story as well, A couple of times I had to do a quick review of a few people because I started to get lost in the midst of them. They did what they could to help the two love crossed people, but nothing much seemed to help for long. Abby's father was wealthy, but he sure made some seriously bone headed decisions. He wasn't much liked in town but Abby was and she finally finds a way off the ranch. That doesn't mean all her problems are over and her father still tries to bully her back home. Abby finds she has strengths she didn't know she had as she begins to stand on her own. She still loves and wants Noah through it all and she's used to finding a way to get what she wants. It just doesn't seem to be working out all that well for her with him. There was a good outlaws/rustlers story at work in the story as well. And Abby ended up showing she had some "gumption" when she finds herself in a dangerous situation or two.
