Wait for Me By: Susan May Warren Genre: Contemporary Romance, Fiction Publisher: Revell Publication Year: 2018 Series: Montana Rescue, Book #6 My Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Synopsis:
Pete Brooks can’t believe he’s waited an entire year for Jess Tagg to return to Montana, only to have her break his heart by getting engaged to her ex-fiancé. Worse, a series of mistakes on the job have cost lives, and Pete isn’t sure he wants to continue to work in Search and Rescue. Maybe if he can just get over Jess, he can figure out how to move forward. EMT Jess Tagg has returned to Montana to finally give her heart to Pete, but it seems he’s no longer interested. When a terrible fight between them sparks an impulsive decision, she finds herself crashed on the side of a highway along with Esme Shaw. And just when she thinks things couldn’t get any worse, she and Esme are taken captive and into the untamed Montana wilderness–with murderous intent. Now Pete and the other PEAK Rescue Team members are in a race against time, the elements, and the actions of a vengeful man. Pete will have to use everything he’s learned to find Jess and Esme–and pray that his past mistakes don’t cost him the life of the woman he can’t stop loving. Taken from Susan May Warren's website: https://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/wait-for-me-montana-rescue-6/ My Thoughts: First off let me say that I have not read the first 5 books of this series. As you will see at the bottom, Revell sent this to me as a review copy. Without having read the first 5 books, I found this one pretty easy to pick up and dive into. Yes, there was a lot of backstory missing on who I am assuming are recurring characters, but it did not detract from the story in any way. There is a lot of backstory on the two main characters as well as some on to of the minor characters who are also focused on in this book. To clarify, I would consider Pete and Jess the main characters of this story, with Shea and Ned as secondary or minor characters. The reader was introduced to Pete and Jess's backstory of their past relationship pretty in depth and it was easy to understand where all their hurt and distrust came from as well as the struggles they were overcoming. I really enjoyed all the backstory and thought it really let the reader into the whole picture of their relationship. Shea and Ned are also given quite a bit of page time as well. While their backstories are not as in depth, you still quickly get the feeling of where they are coming from and what they are dealing with as well as what struggles they are currently facing. The only part of the book that I didn't like as much was the lack of mention of God. He is rarely mentioned in the first half of the book and I feel like the second half of the book was playing catch up to fit Him in. There is a good message of dealing with forgiveness of self and others throughout the book. Pete also learns how to forgive himself over his role in the death of his dad. Grace is another theme seen throughout the book. Content advisory (Highlight to see): *Sex, sleeping around, one night stands are talked about throughout the book but not in graphic detail. They are usually mentioned in passing or the guilt of them being dealt with. Passionate kissing happens.* Recommend? I would classify this more towards fluff Christian. The story and suspense were crafted well and made for a good read, so if you are looking for a good book to curl up with for an afternoon I would suggest this one. Let me know if you have any questions or would like clarification. Cheers, Rebecca Revell Reads sent me this complimentary copy to review for them. All opinions expressed are my own.
