Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Out horseback riding, Dr. Katherine Gilroy accidentally stumbles into a deadly shoot-out and comes to US marshal Dominic O’Ryan’s aid. Now with Dominic injured and under her care, she’s determined to help him find her brother—the fugitive he believes murdered his partner. While Katherine’s sure her brother isn’t guilty, someone’s dead set on killing her and Dominic.


My Review:
Mountain Fugitive is a Christian romantic suspense novel. The main characters were engaging and reacted realistically to events. Even though Katherine and Dominic initially didn't agree about the guilt of her brother, they respected each other and Dominic was willing to listen to the evidence. This respect for each other's honorable actions and character grew into more romantic feelings. They worked well together, using their different areas of knowledge and skills to survive while uncovering the truth. The suspense came from repeated attacks on Katherine and Dominic and from their hurry to find and save her brother, who was also in danger.

Katherine came from a broken home and longed for her father's love. She learned to rely on only herself (though she will ask for help when needed). The Christian element was about her wondering if Dominic's love would fill that longing but remembering how a friend told her that only God would not abandon her and could fill that lack of a father's love. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.
