Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When masked figures take his daughter, Master Corporal Jeff Connor will stop at nothing to rescue her—even if it means working with wilderness guide Quinn Dukes. As Quinn’s thrown into the line of fire too, Jeff will do everything in his power to uncover the kidnapper’s identity…and protect them both.


My Review:
Surviving the Wilderness is a Christian romantic suspense novel. Quinn is a skilled wilderness guide who learned some of her skills from Jeff before starting her own company. Jeff had a crush on Quinn, but his last serious relationship ended with the woman telling him that he was garbage and hiding the fact that she was pregnant. He doesn't feel worthy of a loving relationship with an amazing, talented woman like Quinn. He's now caring for his young daughter when she's kidnapped. Quinn's wilderness tour group gets caught in the middle of the armed kidnapping, and she helps Jeff go after his daughter.

Quinn and Jeff admired each other and worked well together. They really were better together as Jeff was extremely impulsive and often charged into a situation rather than thinking out a plan or working with others. (This also caused him problems when in the military.) Jeff realized that he needed to change if he was going to be a good father and a good husband, so he asked God's help with becoming a better man and with rescuing his daughter. The suspense came from the attacks by the bad guys, the danger to the child and others, and the danger created just by being in the wilderness. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
