My review of Blue Ridge Mountain Escape

Blue Ridge Mountain Escape by Loretta Eidson is such an exciting book! I read it in two hours because I couldn’t put it down! It’s part of the Mountain Rescue series from Love Inspired Inspirational Romance. That means it’s clean and contains Christian themes which I really appreciate. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m ready to read more!

When Haley and her friend booked a cabin in the woods, they were planning on a peaceful vacation. Haley’s friend has to cancel at the last minute because she gets sick right before they’re supposed to leave. Since she’s already paid a big deposit, Haley decides to go anyway. After all, she still needs a break! Her break is rudely interrupted when escaped convicts break into the cabin, one of whom is her cousin. And the non-stop suspense begins…

Haley and Kendall, the Forest Service firefighter who rescues Haley, are well-written characters who are facing a seemingly impossible situation. The fire is out of control, and they’ve got no choice but to run. As I was reading, I tried to put myself in Haley’s place and decided it’s a good thing I wasn’t! For one thing, I know I don’t have the stamina! Even adrenaline runs out! I’d have to remind myself that God has me in His hands. Faith plays an important role in Blue Ridge Mountain Escape, and God’s provision can be seen throughout this action-packed story.

The author adds a lot of details that make the story come to life. You can tell she knows what she’s talking about as she describes the fire and how it “behaves.” It really is like a living thing! Firefighters make predictions about what they think the fire will do, but at times it’s unpredictable. And it’s fast! Eidson’s descriptive writing had me totally immersed in the book. I literally couldn’t put it down and didn’t!

I highly recommend Blue Ridge Mountain Escape for its well-written characters, descriptive writing, attention to detail, and the theme that we can trust God even when the outcome of our circumstances seems hopeless.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
