 My review today is on the Western Romance, Runaway Montana Groom. This is book twelve in the series Bear Grass Springs. This book will be published on March 2. You need to pre-order it right away. It's an awesome book. I had not read the rest of the series but enjoyed it immensely and of course I'm going back to read the first stories in the series. The story is well written, humorous, and full of drama. I know you are going to love it.

Peter Tompkins returns home from a long cattle drive. He doesn't have much use for people especially women. His mother had abandoned him and his brothers. Upon his return, he is looking for answers. His grandfather (who had raised them) falls and hurts his ankle. The doctor is also concerned about his heart. Peter takes his place at the cafe his grandparents own. To his shock he finds the new preacher in town is the brother of the woman he had loved but at her betrayal had left at the altar just a few months ago. 

Philomena Fitch is not happy to find the man that had left her at the altar living in the town her brother had brought her to. How is she suppose to handle that? Her brother is determined to keep Philomena away from the man that ruined her. Can she forgive him when she finds out the reason he left?

A journey of twists and turns. A journalist who writes a story about the runaway groom, an estranged mother out to destroy them, and a brother that is bitter and pious. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a plan for peace and not for destruction. Give his your heart and watch Him work in your life even in this time of chaos.
