Mountain Magic (Daring Western Hearts Series, Book 3)

I found this book to be very moving as it intermingled mountain men trappers with american natives and white settlers. The story plot moved well and kept interest rate high. Hope author continues with book 4.

A well written adventure romance, Mountain Magic takes one back to the early days of settling the West. When Jon wins Cat in a game of chance, he is horrified to find himself being responsible for a wild child with the body of a woman. Whilst Jon has been disillusioned by relationships and dysfunctional family values in the past, Cat has seen and experienced more than any young woman of her age should. Despite that, she has been protected and loved even though she is feisty and self-protective. Jon's partner, Silas, has met Cat before and determines that he will protect her with his life, and if Jon wants to continue working with him, he has to accept the arrangement. Being cooped up in Cat's cabin in the mountains, Jon's attitude slowly thaws and much to Silas' silent amusement the sparks start to fly between the two, unwilling as they are to become involved in a romance. Cat is still suffering from the dreadful nightmares of the horrors she has seen and learning to trust is difficult for her. When danger once more comes knocking at Cat's door, she realises that she has so much to lose but for the first time she is not alone in fighting off the evil. I have read a few books in the past regarding mountain men and trapping for fur and this book cements in my mind the incredible risks they took living on their own out in the snowy wilds. I loved both Jon and Silas' characters and their protectiveness. Cat made it difficult for the men to understand her, especially as she refused to talk about all the hidden secrets in her heart. However, there is no doubting her loyalty to those she loves. I found it difficult to put this book down and I loved the descriptions of the era and lifestyle as it gave insights to a way of life that has mostly been lost, but laid the foundations for the future. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
