ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 22, 2023

Psychiatrist Rayne Westerfield has found purpose in helping patients, especially those with PTSD, heal at the Resting Warrior Ranch. For her, there’s no greater calling than equipping people to fight the worst of their demons.

But she’s never allowed anyone to help her fight her own.

She’s kept her distance. Kept herself buttoned up tight. Even the people in the small Montana town she’s known for years—the ones she calls friends—don’t know who she really is, and the fears she hides.

And that’s okay.

But it’s not okay to Cole Phillips.

The FBI agent’s first interaction with the Resting Warrior Ranch a few months ago wasn’t under the best of circumstances, but he’s determined to make up for that now.

Where everyone else sees ice in Rayne, he sees fire. And he’s not going to let her fears keep him at a distance.

Especially not when Rayne witnesses something she shouldn’t and a killer comes after her. Cole will battle the criminal determined to silence her, and the fears she’s buried so deep.

The healer has fought for everyone else. Now this warrior will fight for her.

•••••••

REVIEW: MONTANA RAIN is the eighth and final instalment in the contemporary, adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch. This is former US Navy SEAL turned FBI Agent Cole Phillips, and psychiatrist Rayne Westerfield’s story. line. MONTANA RAIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. RESTING WARRIOR RANCH focuses on the men and women who own and work for Resting Warrior Ranch-a spin off from Janie Crouch’s ZODIAC TACTICAL series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cole and Rayne) MONTANA RAIN focuses on the rekindling relationship between Rayne and Cole. Months earlier, FBI Agent Cole Phillips’ assignment placed everyone in danger including our story line heroine. Cole left, leaving an angry and bitter Rayne Westerfield to help the people struggling in the aftermath. Fast forward to present day, Rayne continues as the in-house psychiatrist for the Resting Warrior Ranch, and Cole has been relegated to desk duty in the FBI’s Chicago office but a seminar focusing on PTSD brings Rayne Westerfield into Cole Phillips’ orbit, and the Chicago mob is about to take aim at our story line heroine. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Cole and Rayne, and the potential fall-out as the Rayne has something the Mob is desperate to find.

The world building focuses on the fractured and acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Cole knows there is definitely mixed feelings from Rayne Westerfield but Cole knows Rayne is the only woman he will ever love. Trying to stay one step ahead of the Mob means going into hiding with a woman who is struggling to understand what is happening and why, including her feelings for a man she is unable to trust.

The relationship between Rayne and Cole is one of second chances, of a sorts. Cole is struggling with events from the past, blaming himself for what happened and why. Rayne is battling between head and heart, believing Cole is the cause of so much strife in their lives. As Cole and Rayne go into hiding, their mutual yet different pasts reveal a kindred spirit and heart breaking pain. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to several members of the FBI, as well as members of the Chicago Mob.

MONTANA RAIN is a story of power and control, murder and the Mob, acceptance and forgiveness, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is seductive: the characters are determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2023

Raised in a cult where opinions and freedom in women were not tolerated, Mara Greene narrowly escaped a life as a child bride—one where she would’ve been shared and owned by all the men in the compound.

Her testimony helped put the cult leader in prison, but she’s never truly gotten past the horrors inflicted on her. Her conditioning to keep silent persists even now—despite having found a safe haven at the Resting Warrior Ranch.

Here she’s safe, but still always alone and trapped in her silence.

Liam Anderson is always the first team member to crack a smile or a joke. No one—not even his Navy SEAL brothers—know about his painful past or the truth he hides behind his charming mask.

He’s captivated by fragile Mara and wants to help her heal. Watching her find her voice is the most amazing thing he’s ever known. And it doesn’t take long to realize she’s healing him just as much.

When Mara’s past resurfaces, Liam won’t let her face it alone. He’ll be her personal protector no matter what it cost.

No one is going to steal her voice again.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 14, 2023

Daniel Clark is the leader. The one who ensures everyone makes it out alive.

He took that responsibility seriously when he and his team served in the Navy SEALs together, and he takes it seriously now at the Resting Warrior Ranch.

When he and his men broke up the Riders—the vicious dogfighting gang who also kept some human captives—they got everyone to safety.

Except for the woman who’d been caged—Emma. She disappeared into the night.

So when she shows up in his tiny Montana town—in bad physical shape, begging not to be taken to the hospital—Daniel can’t believe it. He does the only thing he can: brings her home.

He’s a warrior, not a caregiver, but he’ll have to be both in this case. The people after her don’t just want to put her in a cage this time. They want her dead.

But if they want to get to Emma, they’re going to have to go through Daniel. And that’s not going to happen.

••••

REVIEWMONTANA FREEDOM is the sixth instalment in the contemporary, adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who own and work for Resting Warrior Ranch-a spin off from Janie Crouch’s Zodiac Tactical series. This is thirty-seven year old, former US Navy SEAL Daniel Clark, and twenty-two year old, IT specialist Emma Derine’s story line. MONTANA FREEDOM can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emma and Daniel) MONTANA FREEDOM follows in the wake of the rescue and escape of Emma Derine. Six months earlier Emma was one of the women ‘rescued’ from a gun running group known as the ‘Riders’ but fearing for her life, Emma ran, without looking back. Fast forward to present day, Daniel has never stopped thinking or looking for the woman he found trapped in a cage, the woman that kept him awake at night, ridden with guilt but finding a sick and injured Emma at the local grocery gave Daniel a second chance, a second chance to claim the woman with whom he would fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Emma and Daniel, and the fall-out as Emma’s past returns, in an effort to finish the job.

Daniel Clark suffers with issues of PTSD, not only from his time spent as a US Navy SEAL but in the wake of Emma Derine’s disappearance. Finding Emma gave Daniel some hope but Emma’s past wasn’t too far behind, and the FBI is determined to use Emma as bait to bring in the people who destroyed her life.

The relationship between Emma and Daniel begins as a rescue, not once but twice, and Daniel fears Emma will run again. Emma has an eidetic memory, and the FBI wants to know and use every bit of information including our story line heroine. Daniel continues to struggle with the age difference between himself and Emma but the heart wants something that head is unable to refuse. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Most of the previous story line couples return including Lucas and Evelyn, Harlan and Grace, Grant and Cori, Noah and Kate, Lena and Jude, and the introduction of FBI Agents Jones, and Phillips. The requisite evil has many faces.

MONTANA FREEDOM is a story of search and rescue, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and love, family and friendships. The fast paced premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is seductive and desirable; the characters are charming and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 3, 2023

Some people wait their entire life for their ship to come in, not realizing they’re standing at the airport.

At least that’s how Vanessa Hamilton feels when it comes to romance. In her late 40s and divorced, she’s decided the traditional happily-ever-after route just isn’t for her. And she’s perfectly fine with that.

When her doctor suggests a vacation to help her de-stress and get her blood pressure under control, she decides on the remote island of Heartbreak Key off the coast of Florida. Just her, the beach, and a bunch books…what could go wrong?

Stumbling onto drug runners? Check.
Tropical storm? Check.
Hoss, the gruff former Navy SEAL who definitely does not help her blood pressure settle? Triple check.

Trust hasn’t come easy for Vanessa since her divorce, but Hoss—despite his scars and tragic past—is showing her heroes do still exist. Maybe her ship was just a little late coming in.

But it’s never too late for love..

••••••

REVIEW: VANESSA’S GUARDIAN is the first instalment and novella in the contemporary,adult VANESSA’S GUARDIAN erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Regan Black. This is fifty year old, former US Navy SEAL turned fisherman Jonathan ‘Hoss’ McKinney, and realtor Vanessa Hamilton’s story line.

Told from dual third person perspectives ( Hoss and Vanessa) VANESSA’S GUARDIAN focuses on the protection of forty-something realtor Vanessa Hamilton. On the orders of her doctor, Vanessa Hamilton scheduled a much needed vacation, landing in Heartbreak Key in the Florida Keys but from the outset nothing went according to plan. Meeting Heartbreak Key resident and former Navy SEAL Hoss McKinney gave Vanessa a chance at a vacation fling but our heroine is witness to a major drug operation, something that places Vanessa on the dealer’s radar. With the approach of a tropical storm, Vanessa seeks shelter with our story line hero, the man who is willing to sacrifice his life to save the woman with whom he will fall in love. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Vanessa and Hoss, and the potential fall-out when our couple are targeted by the people in charge.

The relationship between Vanessa and Hoss is quick to develop as there are only a few other women living on the island. Jonathan ‘Hoss’ McKinney has never been married but finds himself falling for a woman with a target on her back. With the help of fellow US Navy SEAL Cameron Burton, Hoss makes plan to save our heroine, a plan that lands both of them in dangerous waters. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate .

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to Hoss’s best friend and marine mechanic Cameron Burton, and Sheriff Dupree.

VANESSA’S GUARDIAN is a quick read; a fast paced story of insta-lust to love; a story of betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance but there was something missing-an almost bare bones feel and a rush to the finish. The premise is simple but engaging- the lack of details is discouraging; the romance is impassioned; the characters are energetic and dynamic.

REVIEW: MONTANA STORM is the fifth instalment in the contemporary, adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch- a spin off from Janie Crouch’s Zodiac Tactical series. This is former US Navy SEAL Jude Williams, and bakery owner Lena Mitchell’s story line. MONTANA STORM can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of MONTANA STORM cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events in book four MONTANA MYSTERY.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lena and Jude) MONTANA STORM follows the building romance and relationship between former US Navy SEAL Jude Williams, and bakery owner Lena Mitchell. Five year earlier, while on deployment with the US Navy, Jude Williams, along with fellow SEALS Noah and Isaac, were captured and tortured but not all would survive. Fast forward two years, Jude Williams and Lucas Everett (Montana Sanctuary) would rescue bakery owner Lena Mitchell and Evie Taylor in the aftermath of an attack by Evie’s ex. Three more years dancing around one another would result in Lena’s humiliation when Jude apparently rejects our heroine’s attempts at seduction, a rejection that finds Jude struggling with what happened and why but all is not well in both of their lives as Jude continues to battle the demons from his past, and Lena becomes the target of madness and vengeance. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Jude and Lena, and the potential fall-out as Jude’s past takes aim at our story line heroine.

Lena Mitchell’s coffee shop and bakery, Deja Brew, is a great success and with the approach of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the orders are fast and furious but when a new bakery sets up shop, everything that could go wrong for Lena threatens her business and her future in Montana. Jude Williams suffers with PTSD, violent nightmares from his time held captive, and the result finds Jude struggling to move forward in his personal life but threats against Lena push Jude to take a stand, a stand that will reveal a possible connection to the events of the past.

The relationship between Lena and Jude begins as a rescue but slowly turns into something more. For three years, Lena and Jude have danced around their attraction to one another but both struggle in the wake of nightmares and memories, none more so than our story line hero. Talking to his friends and former Navy SEALs, Jude quickly realizes he is not the only one to battle the demons that control his life but taking control means taking the steps to accept what happened and why. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There are some scenes of light bondage.

The secondary and supporting characters include former US Navy SEALS: Lucas & Evelyn (Montana Ranch 1), Harlan and Grace (Montana Danger 2),Grant and Cori (Montana Desire 3), Noah and Kate (Montana Mystery 4) , Daniel, and Liam, as well as the introduction of auto mechanic Benjamin Phipps, and café owner Allison DeVries.

MONTANA STORM is a story of perceived betrayal and revenge, power and control, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is passionate and seductive; ;the characters are charismatic and energetic.

The character driven premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are energetic, determined and strong but Kate is often a little TSTL (too stupid to live), placing herself in the direct line of fire.

REVIEW:MONTANA DESIRE is the third instalment in the contemporary,adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch-a spin off from Janie Crouch’s Zodiac Tactical series. This is former US Navy SEAL Grant Carter, and veterinarian Dr. Cori Jackson’s story line. MONTANA DESIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cori and Grant) MONTANA DESIRE follows the building romance and relationship between former US Navy SEAL Grant Carter, and veterinarian Dr. Cori Jackson. Grant Carter is one of seven former Navy SEALS who own and operate Resting Warrior Ranch, a ranch to aid in the recovery of injuries and PTSD for former military members, and at present Grant is still in recovery, following the explosion of an IED that left our hero with shrapnel close to his spine. For months Grant has lusted after his neighbor Dr. Cori Jackson, a woman who was in a relationship with another man but all was not well, and Grant had to place himself between Cori and her now ex, an ex that was determined to destroy Cori, no matter the cost. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Grant and Cori, and the potential fall-out as Cori is pulled into a dangerous operation, that could threaten all of Grant’s hard fought recovery.

REVIEW: MONTANA DANGER is the second instalment in the contemporary ,adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch. This is former US Navy SEAL and co-owner of Resting Warrior Ranch Harlan Young, and rancher/widow Grace Townsend. MONTANA DANGER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harlan and Grace) MONTANA DANGER follows the second chance relationship between thirty something former US Navy SEAL Harlan Young, and rancher Grace Townsend. A little over ten years earlier Harlan Young broke Grace Townsends heart, and in the ensuing years Grace struggled to forgive the man she once loved. Fast forward to present day wherein Harlan Young, co-owner of the Resting Warrior Ranch finds himself face to face with the woman he destroyed, a woman whose ranch has been targeted by the neighbor next door. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Harlan and Grace, and the potential fall-out as greed and vengeance threaten the lives of our story line couple.

Ten years earlier, to protect her life, Harlan Young walked away from the woman he loved, a woman who came to despise the man who broke her heart. In an effort to move on from a dark and dangerous life, Grace married a man she did not love but a man who protected our heroine until the day he died. With the return of Harlan Young, Grace battled between head and heart but threats against Grace, and the ranch that she loved, forced Harlan to become guardian and protector of our story line heroine.

The relationship between Harlan and Grace is one of second chances; a rekindling romance wherein Harlan reveals the truth about what happened years before, a truth that forces Grace to relive the moments that almost destroyed her life. Grace had struggled to forgive the man that broke her heart until the truth acknowledges the painful reality. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are re-introduced to Harlan’ s business partners and former US Navy SEALS: Liam, Lucas & Evelyn (Montana Sanctuary 1), Jude, Grant, Noah and Daniel, Deja Brew cafe owner Lena, and police chief Charlie Garcia. The requisite evil has many faces.

MONTANA DANGER is a story of greed and obsession, power and control, forgiveness and love, acceptance and happily ever after. The fast paced premise is edgy and gripping; the characters are spirited, energetic and determined; the romance is seductive and sensual.
