Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When a plane carrying a federal witness crashes in the Montana backwoods, Officer Kelly Wayne and her K-9, Nico, track it down—and discover Ethan Harrigan injured with amnesia. Now with the mafia on their trail, Kelly must protect the man she thinks ruined her career. But nothing’s as it seems, and trusting the wrong person could get them all killed.


My Review:
Wilderness Hunt is a Christian romantic suspense novel. When Kelly was removed from an undercover assignment gathering evidence against a mafia boss, she moved to a rural area in Montana to become a K9 officer. Determined to prove her worth, she and her K9 set out to find a plane crashed in the wilderness carrying a federal witness. To her surprise, it's the police officer that she worked with undercover. The bad guys think he's not only a vital witness but knows the location of some missing mafia money. His brother Ethan was also on the plane along with at least one corrupt federal marshal. So all of them were wandering in the wilderness, hunted by thugs who want the money. Then it got even more complex. Kelly and Ethan had to sort it all out.

Ethan didn't know who to trust except Kelly, who's only worked to rescue him. Since she was involved in the undercover case, she's also in danger. Lots of people were out to hurt them in pursuit of the money, including some people who ought to be protecting them. I appreciated that Kelly was a competent cop the entire story, though she was injured and needed Ethan to help watch her back. Ethan's an ex-marine, so he's able to help protect them when his concussion wasn't messing with his skill. They generally got long well and appreciated each other's skill and support. They came to care about each other and wanted to try at a relationship after the current suspense was done. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romantic suspense.
