ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date March 15, 2022.

Some mistakes haunt you forever.

Harlan Young knows that from personal experience. Walking away from Grace Townsend, even with the best intentions and no other choice, still haunts him to this day.

So when he had the chance to return to Montana, and be part of something as special as the Resting Warrior Ranch, he took it. Here he can help train service and emotional support animals for former soldiers with PTSD.

And maybe, just maybe, convince Grace to give him a second chance.

He never expected that second chance to be in the form of a fake marriage in order to save the land she loves so much. But he’ll do it, as well as help fight the danger closing in on her. She thinks she’s alone, but she’s wrong.

She knew him as a boy, but now he’s a man. And real men don’t run.

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.

Montana Sanctuary (Resting Warrior Ranch 1) by Josie Jade & Janie Crouch-a review

Sometimes the worst wounds can’t be seen.

Lucas Everett knows that firsthand. It’s why he and his former Navy SEAL brothers created the Resting Warrior Ranch.

They aren’t doctors, but they can offer the healing freedom of their Montana range. And they specialize in training service and emotional support animals to help sooth even the worst emotional scars.

Usually, soldiers show up at their door. But this time it’s Evelyn Taylor—a soldier in a very different kind of war.

She’s as skittish as one of the horses Lucas gentles. But he’s learned how to be patient with animals, and he’s more than happy to be patient with this quiet beauty too.

When Evelyn’s past nightmares show up in Montana, she thinks she has to run again, but Lucas isn’t going to let that happen. He’s protected his country against the worst types of threats, and he’ll protect her too.

She’s met the rancher, but now she’s about to meet the SEAL.

REVIEW: MONTANA SANCTUARY is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult RESTING WARRIOR RANCH romantic suspense series co-authored by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch- a spin off from Crouch’s ZODIAC TACTICAL series. This is former US Navy SEAL Lucas Everett, and Evelyn Taylor’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucas and Evelyn) MONTANA SANCTUARY follows Evelyn Taylor as she is forced to run from a past that refuses to let go. Landing in Montana, Evelyn seeks sanctuary at the Resting Warrior Ranch co-owned by seven former US Navy SEALs including Lucas Everett, the man with whom Evelyn will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Evelyn and Lucas, and the potential fall-out as Evelyn’s past is determined to reclaim our heroine, ending her life in the process.

Evelyn Taylor hasn’t stopped running for close to four years but every time she begins to settle, her past returns seeking retribution and revenge. Staying at the Resting Warrior Ranch allows Evelyn some form of security but even the best security is not enough as history proves over, again and again. Lucas Everett never expected to fall for the woman with the haunted eyes. Lucas knows Evelyn is hiding dark and dangerous secrets but not until Evelyn reveals the truth does Lucas call in reinforcements, in an effort to save the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Lucas and Evelyn is one of immediate attraction but Lucas doesn’t do relationships, and Evelyn hasn’t stopped running for many years. Falling for Evelyn was easy, but keeping her safe was proving to be more difficult than anyone could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Lucas’ business partners and former Navy SEALS: Liam, Harlan, Jude, Grant, Noah and Daniel, as well as Evelyn’s co-workers Lena and Grace, and therapist Dr. Rayne.

MONTANA SANCTUARY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, money and manipulation, obsession and madness, acceptance and love. The premise is gritty and haunting; the romance is seductive-the chemistry is palpable; the characters are animated, energetic and spirited.
