Publisher's summary

Can she outrun her past into the arms of a Montana rancher?

Montana rancher Knox Marshall's danger years are behind him. A former bull rider, he now runs the Marshall family ranch, raising champion bucking bulls for the National Professional Bullrider's Expo (NBR-X). But although he's successful and wealthy, at 30, he can't help but wonder if his best years are behind him. His life is stable, expected and…boring.

Kelsey Jones just wants a safe life, a family, a home. Well, at least when she's offstage. Onstage, she's the beautiful rising star of the country trio the Yankee Belles. Onstage, she becomes the person she longs to be, vivacious and confident, not the mess she knows she is inside, the result of a violent attack years earlier. But certainly, the more success she has, the more she outruns her past, success that includes becoming NBR-X's next country act.

Knox and Kelsey's paths collide when an explosion at an NBR-X event traps them in the rubble. Now victims of a random trauma, they have to figure out how to put their lives back together. For Kelsey, it awakens her nightmares, and for Knox, it ignites in him an obsession to find the bomber.

Problem is…someone is after Kelsey, and when her past follows her into Knox's life, threatening his family and legacy, he'll have to choose between saving the people he loves, or becoming the protector he's always longed to be. The exciting ignition of the Montana Marshall series.

A perfect blend of action and romance

Susan May Warren has combined strong heroes with hidden wounds with wounded heroines with hidden strength in a perfect blend of twisting action and swoon-worthy sweet romance. Add in the excitement of the rodeo, the glamor of up-and-coming country music stars and the political intrigue of fringe groups determined to have their way regardless of the rusk and you have Knox. Read or listen and you’ll see what I mean when I say I couldn’t hit pause.

Another amazing series ... narrator, not so much.

Susan May Warren does not disappoint in the first installment of the Montana Marshall’s series. Suspense, action, romance, and faith - the perfect combination. Can’t wait for the next book! My only disappointment was with the choice of narrator. A good narrator can really bring the story to life and unfortunately this one fell short. Past series narrators (Farrell, Nicholay, Holzner, Jacob) were much better at drawing me into the story.

Action packed, clean Western romance

This contemporary Western romance throws curveballs right and left with bombings, the Mafia and a crazed stalker. I love how the Knox and Tate protect the Belles and even fall in love as life explodes around them.

Awesome!

This was one of the best books I have ever listened to. I enjoyed it very part…the story line, the action, the narration, it was just awesome from start to finish! I definitely recommend!

Romantic suspense

Rating: 4.5 stars

What I liked:

• The author caught my attention right from the beginning and drew me into the story's inner workings.
• Knox and Kelsey were very likeable characters and thoroughly developed.
• The supporting cast of characters added dimension to the story. They were very well fleshed out and they played active roles in this book.
• There was a lot of action and suspense in this story. Some of the action was predictable and some not. There were twists and turns to the plot.
• The descriptions of locations and emotions were well done and easy to visualize and to feel. I felt a part of the scenes.
• The pacing of this story was good. Not too fast nor too slow. There was a smooth, coherent flow to this book.
• I did not find this Christian romance/suspense preachy.
• This was a clean read and I appreciate that. I believe it is harder to write a good, clean story.

Great Story - my 2nd time through this series!

Authenticity of the details; characters who are real, genuine & believable; providing visual descriptions of each location to make backgrounds for the action.

Awesome story but monotone reader.

I love Susan May Warren’s books and have read almost everything she’s written.
I especially loved the Montana Marshalls and Montana Rescue Series and how she weaves her characters, just a little, from one series to the next,

great read

loved it. I couldn't put it down for long. listened while driving on a trip.

Love her books

I have yet to be disappointed in a book by Susan May Warren... she delivers another great story! Now I'm anxious to start Tate's story!

Worst narrator

I like the sound of his voice but he reads 3 words then pauses. Choppy. Annoying
Bull riding is not my favorite thing to listen to.
