About the Book
Book: Love’s Mountain Quest
Author: Misty M Beller
Genre: Historical romance
Release Date: June 30, 2020
After
losing her husband in the Rocky Mountain wilderness, young widow Joanna
Watson is struggling to make a new home for her five-year-old son,
Samuel, in the little mountain town of Settler’s Fort. When she returns
home from work to find Samuel and the woman watching him missing–and the
sheriff dead–she enlists a man she prays has enough experience in this
rugged country to help.
Isaac Bowen wants nothing more than a quiet, invisible life in these
mountains, far away from the bad decisions of his past. But he has a
strong suspicion of who’s behind the kidnapping and murder, and if he’s
right, he knows all too well the evil they’re chasing.
As they press on against the elements, Joanna fights to hold on to
hope, while Isaac knows a reckoning is coming. They find encouragement
in the tentative trust that grows between them, but whether it can
withstand the danger and coming confrontation is far from certain in
this wild, unpredictable land.

The Story Behind the Story: Love’s Mountain Quest
Love’s Mountain Quest was one of the hardest books I’ve ever
written, even though I LOVE Isaac and Joanna and their story. What made
this book so hard was the fact that I wrote most of the story during my
third trimester of pregnancy with our son!
Our
little Matthew is our fourth baby (and first boy), so I was VERY heavy
with child during the last three months I carried him, and that was the
time that I’d scheduled to write Love’s Mountain Quest.
Needless to say, the words were not flowing very well. My creativity was
as exhausted as the rest of me! I could see Isaac and Joanna’s story in
my mind, but showing it for readers using real words was the hard part.
Thankfully, I have an amazing editor at Bethany House (waving at Jen
Veilleux!) who helped me massage the first draft, pushing both me and
the story to be the very best we could be. Unfortunately for her, the
edits for this book were the first bit of writing I did after taking a
short maternity leave after the birth, so my brain was still a bit mushy
from all the post-partum hormones and lack of sleep a newborn always
brings. Jen’s patience through the process was remarkable, yet I so
appreciate her determination not to stop until we had the very best book
possible.
Our little Matthew just turned one, and Love’s Mountain Quest is finally making its way out into the world. Because of Jen, I’m so excited to share it with you! I can’t wait for you to meet the characters and story I love so much.

My Thoughts
Misty M. Beller is a new to me author that I have really been enjoying! This is the second book in the series but I would say you could read it as a stand alone. The cover is stunning and there is non stop adventure from the first chapter. While I enjoyed book one a bit more I still was intrigued on what was going to happen to Samuel! The setting for her books are also some of my favorite so I enjoyed that in this story.
If you enjoy historical fiction you might want to read one of Misty's stories.
Four Stars.
