Hello Everyone :)
I was lucky enough to receive an e-arc of one of the books I was most excited for this month, and I couldn't wait to dive in and devour it.
Now that I've finished it, taken some time to soak it all it, and truly thought about how I felt about it, I'd like to share my review of it with you all.
Wait For Me by Susan May Warren:
Source: Publisher (Revell) Via NetGalley
Publisher: Revell
Publication Date: November 6th, 2018
Genre: Christian Fiction
Series: Montana Rescue
Synopsis:
Pete Brooks can't believe he's waited an entire year for Jess Tagg to return to Montana, only to have her break his heart by getting engaged to her ex-fiancé. Worse, a series of mistakes on the job have cost lives, and Pete isn't sure he wants to continue to work in Search and Rescue. Maybe if he can just get over Jess, he can figure out how to move forward.
EMT Jess Tagg has returned to Montana to finally give her heart to Pete, but it seems he's no longer interested. When a terrible fight between them sparks an impulsive decision, she finds herself crashed on the side of a highway along with Esme Shaw. And just when she thinks things couldn't get any worse, she and Esme are taken captive and into the untamed Montana wilderness—with murderous intent.
Now Pete and the other PEAK Rescue Team members are in a race against time, the elements, and the actions of a vengeful man. Pete will have to use everything he's learned to find Jess and Esme—and pray that his past mistakes don't cost him the life of the woman he can't stop loving.

My Review:
After building up a relationship between Pete and Jess for the first five books, Susan May Warren finally rewards her readers with them getting their own story in the last book in the Montana Rescue series, Wait For Me. A roller coaster ride from start to finish, this one will have you guessing at every corner who's behind everything, and will have your heart breaking for the treacherous journey that Pete, Jess, Ned and Shae find themselves on for the course of the book.
Pete and Jess' relationship has always been complicated, but it was made more so when Jess was revealed to be former New York society princess, Selene Taggart. She's made a new life for herself in Montana with Pete and the other members of PEAK Rescue, but family complications have called her back home to her family, and to her former fiance, Felipe. Pete has never gotten over how he felt about Jess, but after months of waiting for her to come back to him, he feels that she can't possibly love him the way he loves her. Shae and Ned had a whirlwind summer romance in the previous book, but haven't really seen each other since. When Ben and Kacey's wedding reception finally happens, these two couples will come face to face for the first time in awhile, and feelings will arise. Ned and Shae are prepared to take off where they left off, but Pete and Jess are both dealing with past hurts, and things don't go as planned.
Jess leaves the wedding reception with Ned and Shae and suddenly disaster strikes. The three of them find themselves in a precarious situation with their lives at stake, and it will take all the current and former members of PEAK Rescue working together to save them from someone's dangerous agenda, and the rugged, harsh conditions of the Montana wilderness. Pete will never be able to live with himself if he's unable to rescue Jess and tell her once and for all what he feels about her, and Jess' faith and trust will be put to the test as she struggles to keep herself, Ned and Shae alive in their precarious situation.
Once again, Susan May Warren has written a story that's filled with dangerous situations, characters who have to fight against the all odds stacked against them to truly ever be together, a plot that's action packed and full of twists and turns, and an ever present reminder that everything is possible through our Heavenly Father who loves us despite of everything. Wait For Me is the conclusion to the Montana Rescue series, and it wraps up everything beautifully for the reader. We're given a glimpse into every character featured in the previous books, we're given an answer to the many questions that have been raised throughout the course of the series, and we're finally given the romance we've all been waiting for since book one. While I enjoyed Pete, Jess, Ned and Shae as characters, it was really Pete that held my heart in this one as he'd been through so much, and truly loved Jess with everything inside of him, despite her repeated rejections of him.
While I'd still that the last book, Storm Front, was my favorite because of just how much I loved Ty and Brette, this one is definitely up there as one of my favorites from the series, and I gave it five out of five stars. I will definitely miss reading these turbulent, adventure novels from Susan May Warren as the characters have come to feel like close friends, but I look forward to seeing what new books she has in store for her readers in the future, and that hopefully she'll revisit these beloved characters someday again.
Thanks so much to Netgalley and Revell for the opportunity to advance read this!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, Revell, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. I was not required to give a positive review.
Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope your week is off to a great start, and I'll see you all again on Wednesday :)
