Masquerading as a man, Faith Collins embarks on a perilous journey through the untamed wilderness of the Rocky Mountains in search of the Peigan Blackfoot woman who once saved her father’s life. She joins a group of trappers who may be able to lead her to the place the woman is hiding, but keeping Faith’s identity a secret proves more difficult than she imagined. Grant Allen is searching for his younger brother, who was separated from him when their parents died many years ago. After receiving word that his brother went west to the Rockies, he unites with a group of trappers, hoping they can lead him to his brother’s location. Soon Grant realizes there’s a woman hiding among the men, and he’s determined to find out who she is, what she’s hiding, and how he can keep her safe in this country of wild animals and even wilder men. In this rousing conclusion to her Sisters of the Rockies series, Misty M. Beller embarks on an adventurous journey where loyalty, love, and sacrifice intertwine amid the unforgiving frontier. |

I have really gotten into the Sisters Of The Rockies series as it has progressed across the three books. I've enjoyed the differences between each sister's story and the familiar similarities that come with a good Misty M. Beller book. And Rocky Mountain Journey IS a good book.
Rocky Mountain Journey has everything that I've come to like about Misty M. Beller's fiction. From a simple cast of characters to a dramatic landscape setting to a good dash of mystery and intrigue to balance out the romance.
And speaking of mystery, the search for Steps Right has intrigued me from the start. I've been greatly anticipating finally getting those answers and finding out more about her story in general. In this final Sisters Of The Rockies novel I did get those answers, well, most of them anyway, and I felt satisfied with the way that search turned out.
The one and only downside to Rocky Mountain Journey is that now that the Sisters Of The Rockies series has concluded, I have to say goodbye to the characters. The upside is that it leaves me looking forward to more from Misty M. Beller...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Rocky Mountain Journey by Misty M. Beller a 4 Bark rating.
More from Misty
In Rocky Mountain Journey our heroine goes undercover as a “man” to travel with a group of trappers so she can reach her destination safely. Numbers meant a better chance of survival back in those days. I love that Grant, our hero, was the only man in the trapper group who looked close enough at the young “man” riding with them to realize things weren’t what they seemed at first glance.
One challenge that definitely arises in a story where the heroine is pretending to be a man is the development of the romance between her and the hero. In this case, Faith was pretending to be her (fictitious) brother Frank. Grant had met Faith in an earlier chapter before she took on the disguise, and he immediately noticed the resemblance between “Frank” and the woman whose memory still lingered with him, even days later. Every time he looks at “Frank” while they’re traveling with the trappers, he recalls the memory of Faith by the waterfall…and the attraction to that woman grows a little more every time. What a shocking surprise when he discovered she’s riding just ahead of him on the trail the entire time!
I pray you love Faith’s stint “in disguise” in Rocky Mountain Journey!
Blessings!
