Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure

Another lovely book in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series!

Protecting the Mountain Man's Treasure is a story with an intriguing plot, wonderful characters, a western backdrop, and a beautiful faith element.

Both Jude and Angela fit together so well. I had my doubts about Angela at first, but Misty did an excellent job of giving her a solid reason for lying (at least in Angela's mind). And more than that, Angela also had a conscience that burned about the lie she was performing. That made her a far more sympathetic character. Her backstory was quite touching as well and put her desperation in perspective.

And then there was Jude. I absolutely loved his commitment not to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. His firm stand, even when it was difficult, was laudable, especially since he did it with gentleness and courage in sharing the gospel.

The journey with its various modes of travel (train, steamboat, horseback) was fun to read about. Misty always does a great job of bringing the setting to life.

I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series. The sneak peeks in this book were just enough to get me itching for its release, not to mention the ending. Ack, I really need to get my hands on it . . .
