Author: Misty M. Beller

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release date: June 6, 2023

In 1837, Juniper Collins and her sisters are shocked by their father’s final request in his will for a special set of beads to be returned to a Piegan Blackfoot woman he credits with saving his life during his travels west. Together, the sisters set out for the trapper rendezvous to find the woman, but their mission turns more daunting when they come upon the mass of men and lodges spread out in the Green River Valley.

Riley Turner came west to find peace and quiet and live off the land, but when four unprotected women arrive at the rendezvous, he feels compelled to help them and is more fascinated by Juniper than any other woman he’s known.

As their search brings only empty leads and dead ends, the sisters must decide whether to return east or stay in the mountains to continue looking–and that’s if the mystery woman is even still alive. Is the risk to honor their father’s last request worth the danger they find at every turn?

Discover the majesty–and treachery–of the Rocky Mountains in this unique combination of exhilarating adventure, inspiring faith, and sweet romance from USA Today bestselling author Misty M. Beller.

What IS a trapper rendezvous? 

Rocky Mountain Rendezvous is the story of four sisters who head west to accomplish their father’s deathbed request—return a special set of beads to a Blackfoot woman who saved his life during his travels west two decades earlier. The sisters head west with the supply wagons bound for the 1837 trapper rendezvous to find the native woman. But the sight that greeted them in the Green River Valley (in modern-day Wyoming) was nothing like they expected!

Men EVERYWHERE!

Supply wagons would come from the east every summer, and mountain men and natives would come from all throughout the Rockies to trade furs for the supplies they’d need in the coming year. This was usually the only opportunity for trading each year, so EVERYONE came and the camp stretched for miles. This was a great time for friends to catch up, and the festivities always included a great deal of drinking and horse racing. The rendezvous was a sight to behold!

 

In Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, Riley Turner is one of the trappers at the meet-up, and he realizes immediately what kind of danger the ladies are in from unscrupulous men in the crowd. He helps them with their search, and they find so much more than they expected along the way!

Each book in this series will take place during a different year, featuring a different rendezvous. Definitely fodder for fun stories. I pray you love this first book as the Collins sisters embark on the search of a lifetime. 

 

Blessings!

MY REVIEW

There is something special about this author that draws me to  her books. She is able to take readers on an adventure while painting a picture of the land and people with vivid details. I was transported back to 1837 with four sisters on a  mission to fulfill their father’s last wish. It will be a dangerous task to track down the woman they are looking for but they have faith that they will succeed. I loved reading about the land they traveled on and the danger that they faced.

This new series promises to be an epic adventure where strength, hope and courage will be tested. I adored the four sister in this first book and loved how they protected each other and was always there if someone needed encouragement. I was very intrigued by the determination they had to seek out a woman who they didn’t know. What if she was not receptive to them? Would this woman reject the gift they have brought? It is truly an emotional story complete with snakes, horse thieves, a handsome man who comes to their aid and a coyote as a pet.

Riley is someone the sisters need to help them locate the woman and I admired how he stepped up to not only travel with them but to also protect them from the treacherous land, weather and unexpected travelers on the  road. With a subtle nudge that the  author gave we discover  Riley and Juniper start to become more that just acquaintances. Their attraction grows slowly and shows how much they are meant for each other. 

The ending is one that gave me such hope as the  sisters get closer to finding this special woman. Juniper runs into trouble and I was shocked at who saved her. The author does leave a door open which I hope will continue this journey with Juniper and her sisters. I find myself already getting excited about the next book in this series. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
