This Courageous Journey
Heart Of The Mountains book 4
by Misty M. Beller
-From Goodreads- A Christian Historical Romance Novel. As the fifth daughter in a family of nine, Noelle Grant spent her life striving to be unique. Her love of telling stories helps define her goal—to be known around the country as one of the top news correspondents of her time. And what better way to uncover sensational tales than to travel through the mountain wilderness to visit her brother? The trip comes together perfectly as she journeys with family friends who will be settling in the same area. Her first inkling that things may not be as perfect as she’d imagined shows up in the form of the mountain man hired as their guide for the final leg of the journey. When Daniel Abrams agrees to guide the small group of easterners along his usual route northward to the Canadian mountains, his gut tells him he’s making a terrible decision. But if he doesn’t take them, who will? The crew’s leader refuses to consider turning back. As they start out, Daniel can’t help but notice the woman traveling under the care of her friends. Though she appears too genteel to last long in these mountains, she soon reveals a strength that draws him more than he should allow. When the dangers of this wilderness become more than the group bargained for, Noelle must choose to delay her trip northward or proceed alone with the man she’s come to trust against all reason. She never dreams her decision will place her—and the man she loves—in a situation more hazardous than any story her imagination could conjure.

As with its predecessors This Courageous Journey has a small cast of characters, most of the story features just the hero and heroine. This is something that sets it apart from most historical romances and it's something I really like. It gave Noelle and Daniel the chance to interact, for the romance to develop, instead of just “Hi, nice to meet you, let's get married.” It also gives readers the time to really get to know and like Noelle and Daniel, which is how it went for me.
I've been listening to this series in audiobook form and this one was no exception. I've come to expect a quality production in sound and narration, which, is exactly what I have gotten. The narrator is has been the same so far and I appreciate both the continuity and her pleasant reading voice. She's so easy to listen to and has done full justice to Misty M. Beller's tales of wilderness adventure and romance.
All in all, a good story and a good audiobook. One that I would recommend to any lover of historical romance with a faith message.
