Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :)
It's been awhile, how have you all been doing?
Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go.
Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point.
I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health.
With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below:
Otherwise, keep on reading down below and join me for today's full review.

My Review:
Allie Pleiter is one of my favorite Love Inspired authors, and A Refuge in Montana takes readers back to Three Sisters Rescue Farm where widowed veterinarian Vicky Siden is about to have an unwelcome blast from the past show up in her life.
A lovely story about forgiveness, healing, and the never ending power of redemption, this was one of those stories that tugs at your heartstrings from the very beginning, and I had a hard time wanting to put it down. Vicky was a character that was introduced in the previous stories, and I had a feeling I would end up loving when she got her own story. When Nick reappears in Vicky's life, she's not sure how to deal with all the bitter memories he stirs up in his wake. As he starts to be a constant presence around the rescue farm with a donkey and a horse that her son Taylor is completely smitten with, she can't deny that her feelings are changing in ways she never could have seen coming. As the two learn to trust their healing to the One who holds all the answers, readers are treated to a wonderful, heartwarming romance that highlights that all things are possible when we trust our Heavenly Father.
Once again, Allie Pleiter has delivered a beautiful, faith filled romance that doesn't sugar coat the hard things, and illustrates that the path to healing is rarely ever symmetrical. Vicky's story was everything I was hoping for, and it was a special treat to get to revisit characters from the previous stories once again.
If you enjoy heartwarming Christian romances, then I'd definitely recommend picking up this lovely title. You won't be disappointed.
Final Rating: 4/5.
Thanks so much to Allie Pleiter for allowing me to advance read and review this title!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author as part of her street team Allie's Allies. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and this is my honest review.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
