‘Wild Montana Skies’ is the Exciting Return to Warren’s Signature

---

This novel is a kind of restart for the Christy-award winning talents of Susan May Warren. If the accolades weren’t enough, the reader love of Warren’s pen proves she’s a rare talent whose stories never cease to excite, entertain, and enchant.  

STORY | Nashville has been the best and worst of times for country crooner Benjamin King. His first record sold well, but his fledgling career since then demands he take on a partnership role. The duo Montgomery King was formed as a bandage to his sinking passion. Then, some 13 years later, Ben returns to his Montana hometown and locks eyes with Kacey Fairing, the girl he never stopped loving. 

Kacey is like a balm to his soul. Once engaged to marry his high school sweetheart, Ben’s arrival home again uncovers more than one secret about their past that shatters and heals them in more ways than one.

Wild Montana Skies by Susan May Warren | Book Review  

REVIEW | This novel is a kind of restart for the Christy-award winning talents of Susan May Warren. She not only returns to her storyteller roots, but also a new publisher. If the accolades weren’t enough, the reader’s love of Warren’s pen proves she’s a rare talent whose stories never cease to excite, entertain, and enchant. This latest novel further enforces her skill. Wild Montana Skies returns to the basics of the genre she has roots in; romantic suspense. Since Warren’s “Team Hope” series was among the first I ever read by her, returning to this genre is sort of like a “homecoming.”

BOOK REVIEW | You’re the One That I Want by Susan May Warren

This story is a fabulous example of everlasting love and the power of family. The family dynamics are, in fact, some of my favorite parts of this book. Something I like is that, while some of the people in Kacey’s family do wrong by her, they are open to the possibility the choice they make might be wrong. Or the reader feels this is entirely possible before the book ends. The romance is also a charming part of the book. I adored how Ben loved Kacey with unchecked abandon and Kacey, though rigid because of her training, was no less sure. Her emotions (safeguarding her heart) were safely kept hidden away for fear of showing weakness.

Those who like Susan’s backlist or this genre are going to be swept up in this new story. The characters are memorable, the pacing smart, and best of all, there’s the underlying mystery. I’m not convinced I’ll like the secondary story between Ian and Sierra. This isn’t because I didn’t like them as characters, more because I don’t tend to like secondary stories that “overtake” the primary. But as I read the story, Warren convinces me theirs is a story worth the patience and investment. (Though to be honest, if their perspective in ‘Skies’ is a teaser, the back-and-forth, will-they-or-won’t-they might ruffle my reader heart’s patience.)

For those unconvinced this is the right story, you can read Susan’s prequel novella, If I Ever Would Leave You. This introduces us to Ian and Sierra and also sets up the mystery that will, presumably track throughout this Montana Rescue series. Get lost in Warren’s new series during a weekend reading day in with Wild Montana Skies. Around the bend, there is a team of heroic men and women waiting to rescue you with their wonderful stories.
