A Matter of Trust

Publisher's Summary

When a US Senator's brother goes missing, Gage Watson is tasked to save him. He's only got one problem: the bossy and beautiful young senator wants to come with him.

Champion backcountry snowboarder Gage Watson has left the limelight behind after the death of one of his fans. After being sued for negligence and stripped of his sponsorships, he's remade his life as a ski patrol in Montana's rugged mountains, as well as serving on the PEAK Rescue team. But he can't seem to find his footing - or forget the woman he loved, who betrayed him.

Senator and former attorney Ella Blair spends much of her time in the limelight as the second-youngest senator in the country. But she has a secret - one that cost Gage his career. More than anything, she wants to atone for her betrayal of him in the courtroom and find a way to help him put his career back on track.

When Ella's brother goes missing on one of Glacier National Park's most dangerous peaks, Gage and his team are called in for the rescue. But Gage isn't so sure he wants to help the woman who destroyed his life. More, when she insists on joining the search, he'll have to keep her safe while finding her reckless brother, a recipe for disaster when a snowstorm hits the mountain.

But old sparks relight as they search for the missing snowboarder - and suddenly, they are faced with emotions neither can deny. But when Ella's secret is revealed, can they learn to trust each other - even when disaster happens again?

Another great story!

I love the realness of people making mistakes and needing forgiveness. The action is great and I actually kind of like the singing in the narration. I again need to point out to the narrator of this series that Montana is not in the south, but otherwise I think she does an excellent job!

Could not put it down!

I enjoyed this book so much! It is so exciting and romantic! I can't wait to read the next one!

Great addition to Montana Rescue Series

4 1/2 stars. A Matter of Trust is an excellent addition to this series. I just loved Gage, but struggled some to connect with Ella and her past actions. Gage has a heart so obviously that of a sacrificial hero and, in his relationship with Ella, finds an even greater depth of love and forgiveness -- as well as learning to accept the true measure of his own forgiveness. Ella continues to be drawn to Gage and wants a future with him, but I often felt that she still weighed her own risks above her commitment to him.

I was really glad to have some hope shed for a potential resolution for Pete and Jess in the near future and, of course, it seems that Ian and Sierra may finally have their story told and their obvious feelings for each other brought to a long awaited conclusion.

This book ended with a question as to where Brette is and why she suddenly disappeared from the hospital. Ty is shocked and hurt and yet, as the story ends, he begins to wonder if there is a connection between her and a former roommate. We, as readers, also have been given hints as to some brutality that was in Brette's past relationship.

So I am definitely looking forward to the next release in this Montana Rescue series.

The narration was good but just seemed a little inconsistent with the voices of the various characters and with the sound of the local Montana "dialect."

Worth the wait!

I always love reading Susan May Warren's books but this one was especially good! Left me looking forward to the next one!

Seeing under the surface and learning to trust.

Communication is an important thing. Gauge and Ella meet again under a cloud of distrust. I felt like I knew these characters from the very beginning. There is SO much depth to this series.
The Montana Search and Rescue team is like a family. Avalanches, fresh snow, and hot chocolate. I love Author, Susan May Warren and narrator, Cynthia Farrell. I pre-ordered this book it arrived yesterday and now I'm ready for the next one! Who will be rescued next? And how will someone else draw closer in their Faith?
Hunky guys, cute women, mystery, and wondering how it will work out in the end. No sex, language, or etc. and God answering prayer. Woo Hoo!
