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.

I remembered bits and pieces from a previous Montana Rescue book that I had reviewed a while back, but it bugged me that I couldn’t remember most of the characters in this latest installment. After reading that old review, I realized that most of the characters in Wait for Me were actually peripheral characters in A Matter of Trust.
Warren creates these deep, complicated characters that you can’t help but become invested in. And I love that she explores the relationships and inner workings of each person over the course of this series. How many times have I read a book where I wished that the author would take the time to share more about a particular character or let me explore another locale that was lightly brushed upon briefly? Either Warren knew that her readers would want more, or she, too, wasn’t ready to let go of this world that she has created.
I didn’t properly articulate this in my review of Book 3, but I am still very impressed with Warren’s knowledge of wilderness survival, medical conditions, and EMT skills. Although if my memory serves me right, I think this book has more injuries in it. From the moment that the tense, emotional atmosphere is shattered by physical violence, the danger advances on our characters like an avalanche. Who really loves whom takes a backseat as lives are at stake.
But still I had trouble wrapping my brain around why Jess seemed to be stringing Pete along. Without having read the four other books in the series, I’m hazarding a guess that Warren enjoys writing complicated love shapes. I say shapes because this book and Book 3 both have love squares instead of triangles. Geometry aside, you can see why Jess has trouble choosing which man/life to commit herself to. Warren makes it hard for the reader to choose too. Why must all the men in this book be attractive and have such great attributes? Bad guys aside, of course.
Faith and God are handled well in this book. It is when a character has hit rock bottom and can’t give an ounce more that someone else will remind them that there is someone bigger than them that can lift them up and love them no matter what. It didn’t feel forced and I liked that even the person on the receiving end of this message was skeptical. I think that the genuine introduction and reaction of the subject will open up readers who feel skeptical about God as well.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good, intricate love story and/or suspenseful, survivalist read. Kind of opposite spectrums, huh? But this book really has it all. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Excerpt and Giveaway: The Grave Tender by Eliza Maxwell
by
Most people, if asked, would tell you that Cooper Abbott had surely had some sort of accident. Maybe he’d been bitten by a snake, or fallen into the river and hit his head on a rock. There were as many rumors as people to spread them, and a thousand possibilities to choose from.
The one thing they all agreed on was that tropical storm Jolene had been a true misfortune, carrying off any clue to finding the boy. Probably carrying off the boy himself, down the river toward the Gulf of Mexico.
No one suspected anything more sinister.
Not at first.
By Thursday night the skies had cleared. On Friday, the clean-up began.
The Dixon’s power was still out, as it was in many places across town, but Hadley didn’t care. She was happy to be outside, helping to haul downed branches into a pile and picking up dropped nails while Walker took the boards off the shutters. Light slowly came back into the dim house.
It was just after lunch when the Sheriff’s car pulled slowly up the drive, gravel crunching under the tires all the way.
Ben Hammon was an old friend of Walker’s. They’d gone to school together way back when, and still met up for poker night every other Friday. But it wasn’t a social call that brought Sheriff Hammon out to the Dixon house that day.
The Sheriff wasn’t alone. One of his deputies got out of the passenger side of the car. The deputy looked forbidding in his brown uniform and hat, his eyes scanning the trees behind their home. But he smiled and gave Hadley a wink when he caught her watching him.
“Hey, Ben. Any news on the Abbott boy?” Walker asked.
The Sheriff shook his head. “Nothing yet. We’ve picked up the search again, but frankly Walker, I don’t expect to hear anything until we get a call from somewhere downriver.”
Walker cleared his throat and motioned in her direction.
“Hadley, you remember Sheriff Hammon, don’t you?”
She knew good and well the reminder was for the Sheriff, so he wouldn’t say anything else that meant something. Cooper is my friend, Hadley thought, tired of being treated like a baby.
“Actually, Walker, we’d like to speak with Hadley, if you don’t mind.”
Walker’s eyebrows shot up.
“What’s this about, Ben?”
“Dan Abbott was in to see us soon as the weather let up,” the Sheriff said. “He says the kids had a run in with your brother last weekend.”
The camp out. An image of Eli looming over them in the doorway of the tent filled Hadley’s mind.
“Eli?” Walker asked, glancing down at Hadley, clearly confused. She’d never told him what had happened last week, and so much had happened since.
“What’s Eli got to do with anything?”
The Sheriff tipped his hat back and scratched his head, not looking entirely comfortable in his own skin.
“Probably nothing, to tell you the truth. But a boy is missing, Walker, and we have to do our jobs.”
All three men turned to Hadley then. Her eyes went wide.
Walker squatted down next to her.
“Hadley, honey, you don’t have to be scared. You’re not in any trouble. Just tell the men here what happened. Nobody can be hurt by telling the truth.”
Hadley knew that wasn’t true. If it were, her father wouldn’t look so worried. But she couldn’t see another option, so she did as he asked. She told the truth.
