Protecting the Mountain Man’s Treasure was an enjoyable addition to the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series。 While it is the second full length novel of the series， there is actually a novella that comes between this story and the first book。 Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart is book one and tells Jericho’s story。 Then， the novella， titled Marrying the Mountain Man’s Best Friend， is part of the Christmas Bells and Wedding Vows: A Marriage of Convenience Anthology collection and tells Two Stone’s st Protecting the Mountain Man’s Treasure was an enjoyable addition to the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series。 While it is the second full length novel of the series， there is actually a novella that comes between this story and the first book。 Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart is book one and tells Jericho’s story。 Then， the novella， titled Marrying the Mountain Man’s Best Friend， is part of the Christmas Bells and Wedding Vows: A Marriage of Convenience Anthology collection and tells Two Stone’s story。 Then， Protecting the Mountain Man’s Treasure tells Jude’s story。This author is very good at weaving a clear cut faith thread through her stories。 In this book， Angela is not a believer and has not been raised with any real understanding of God。 Jude is a strong believer who made a vow to God that he would not ever yoke himself to an unbeliever。 So， imagine his surprise when he wakes with amnesia from an injury and Angela tells him that she is his wife。I was not sure if I would like Angela， knowing she was going to lie to Jude。 However， the author created a very good scenario and reason for Angela to believe that she needed to go undercover through this lie。 Also， I appreciated that she did not like telling this untruth， but felt it was necessary for her to do her job to the best of her ability。I really enjoyed the second half of the story， as these two got to know each other better and really connected with each other。 I appreciated that Jude was such a strong man of faith and was able to help Angela see her worth through God’s eyes in the way he treated her。 This novel is a fun addition to the series and I look forward to reading the next book。I received a complimentary copy of this book。 All opinions are my own。You can read this review on my blog:https://brittreadsfiction。wordpress。c。。。 。。。more

Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure not only features a lovely cover， but also a unique plot sure to pique readers' interest。 The main characters were well-written， and while I usually favorite the male character， I think I actually liked Angela a bit better。 Both she and Jude had excellent character arcs， and I'll touch on what I really appreciated about Jude in a minute。 But Angela's arc was so raw。 Beller excelled in making the reader feel Angela's pain， desire to prove herself， and the ye Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure not only features a lovely cover， but also a unique plot sure to pique readers' interest。 The main characters were well-written， and while I usually favorite the male character， I think I actually liked Angela a bit better。 Both she and Jude had excellent character arcs， and I'll touch on what I really appreciated about Jude in a minute。 But Angela's arc was so raw。 Beller excelled in making the reader feel Angela's pain， desire to prove herself， and the yearning for love and acceptance。 The secondary characters were well-written， too。 As usual， it is the faith in a story， or lack thereof， that primarily determines the rating I give。 And wow， this book was a whopper as far as the faith element goes。 I loved how much Beller included。 It was an excellent reminder to never be unequally yoked and that our faith should precede all else。 This is what appreciated about Jude。 His faith was unwavering and he sought Christ in everything。 Unashamed， he gently told of hope and salvation， and it was beautiful。 The violence was tastefully addressed: characters get in physical fights and are punched， shot， shot at， attacked， kidnapped， and so on。 The Civil War is mentioned and it is recalled how a child died at the hands of thugs and how a man perished in a protest。 Nothing is gory or gruesome。The romance was clean as well。 Due to the plot's nature， amnesia causes man believes he's married to a woman （when he's not）。 They do share the same room， but nothing is untoward and everything is handled well。 A couple kisses and hugs are the extent。With an astounding faith element， lovable characters， and an intriguing plot， Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure is a story readers of Christian historical romance are sure to enjoy。*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

I will admit to looking forward to Misty Beller books。 The Coulter family has been very interesting。 The author is wonderful with her descriptions which I normally skim。 Her descriptions draw you into her stories。 She gives us an interesting story line， well-developed characters， humor， danger and a few twists and turns。 I like that there are so many Coulters so we can visit them again。

GoodA really interesting and different type of story from a great author。 Enjoyed the characters and how they choose to address issues they are confronted with with integrity （mostly）。 Left me with a few questions， otherwise would have given it 5 stars。 Found the advice on how to forgive yourself really helpful。 Appreciated how Jude always prays。 Highly recommend it。 An interesting read from start to finish。

Trust God to work out the finer details of your life and He will do an amazing job！A delightful， well-written story。 There is suspense and danger but also tenderness and compassion， mixed with forgiveness and kindness。 There is romance in the story but it is not the all-consuming theme。 Jude’s concern for Angela’s spiritual condition and his commitment to keep his vow to God to only marry a Christian added a unique twist to the story。 That kind of devotion is rare in this world。 Salvation’s plan Trust God to work out the finer details of your life and He will do an amazing job！A delightful， well-written story。 There is suspense and danger but also tenderness and compassion， mixed with forgiveness and kindness。 There is romance in the story but it is not the all-consuming theme。 Jude’s concern for Angela’s spiritual condition and his commitment to keep his vow to God to only marry a Christian added a unique twist to the story。 That kind of devotion is rare in this world。 Salvation’s plan is clearly given and deftly worked into the dialogue and plot。 I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next installment， which is presented as a small cliffhanger at the end。 A story and series definitely to be re-visited。 I received a complimentary copy and these are my voluntary and honest opinions。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 。。。more

This is one of ms Beller's better books。 A lady Treasurer Dept agent sits her sights on a mountain man thought to be selling gem stones and not paying taxes on such。 When the man（Jude） is injuried and wakes up with no memory she convinces him they are married。 In the coming days， she falls for the man and finally confesses to him what she was up to。 It's a story of confession as well as forgiveness that will tug at your heart as she finds God and redeems herself and in the processfinds true love This is one of ms Beller's better books。 A lady Treasurer Dept agent sits her sights on a mountain man thought to be selling gem stones and not paying taxes on such。 When the man（Jude） is injuried and wakes up with no memory she convinces him they are married。 In the coming days， she falls for the man and finally confesses to him what she was up to。 It's a story of confession as well as forgiveness that will tug at your heart as she finds God and redeems herself and in the processfinds true love。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book， the second one in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series。 This one is about Jude。 He took a shipment of gems to New York and is on his way back to Montana。 In an accident on the train， he is knocked unconscious and loses his memory。 That is where Angela enters the story。 I found the story riviting and couldn't wait to finish reading it。 Ms Beller is so adept at writing stories set in the early days of the US。 I highly recommend this book。 I did receive a copy of the bo I really enjoyed this book， the second one in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series。 This one is about Jude。 He took a shipment of gems to New York and is on his way back to Montana。 In an accident on the train， he is knocked unconscious and loses his memory。 That is where Angela enters the story。 I found the story riviting and couldn't wait to finish reading it。 Ms Beller is so adept at writing stories set in the early days of the US。 I highly recommend this book。 I did receive a copy of the book from the author， but this review is my own opinion。 。。。more

This book has it all…adventure， intrigue， mystery， close proximity， fake marriage， murder， sweet romance， and spiritual growth。 This has become my favorite book it the series。 I love that the author puts women in the series in non traditional roles for the time period。 In this case， Angela is an undercover agent for the Treasury Department。 I was not ready for this one to end and cannot wait for the next book in the series to see how the author ties all the books together。 I was provided a copy This book has it all…adventure， intrigue， mystery， close proximity， fake marriage， murder， sweet romance， and spiritual growth。 This has become my favorite book it the series。 I love that the author puts women in the series in non traditional roles for the time period。 In this case， Angela is an undercover agent for the Treasury Department。 I was not ready for this one to end and cannot wait for the next book in the series to see how the author ties all the books together。 I was provided a copy of the book from the author/publisher。 I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Another great book by Misty。 Misty can paint a picture that makes you think you are there seeing it all。 Misty is a faithful Christian author that tells stories from the eighties。 Stories of her characters meeting accidentally or on purpose and how they come together with a lot of faith and confidence in God。 I don't like to give away story details as they are a lot of twists and turns until the end。 Enjoy I finished this book in less than 12 hours。 Another great book by Misty。 Misty can paint a picture that makes you think you are there seeing it all。 Misty is a faithful Christian author that tells stories from the eighties。 Stories of her characters meeting accidentally or on purpose and how they come together with a lot of faith and confidence in God。 I don't like to give away story details as they are a lot of twists and turns until the end。 Enjoy I finished this book in less than 12 hours。 。。。more
