Book Description from Goodreads:
Following the death of a crime boss he put behind bars, Ian Carpenter leaves witness protection—and runs right into an ambush. To escape assailants bent on revenge, he turns to his former handler, US marshal Meadow Ames, and her K-9 partner. But the stakes grow higher when Ian’s cousin is abducted. With threats closing in, can they rescue a kidnapped teen…and stop the criminals for good?


My Review:
Montana Abduction Rescue is a Christian romantic suspense. The suspense was good, with even a crawl through a dark, tight, spider-infested pipe creating tension. Meadow and Ian knew each other and worked well together well in the past. Their friendship turned into a deeper caring, but they couldn't allow that turn turn into a romance in the past. Ian also felt unworthy of even God's love because his own family rejected him. He learned to accept that God (and Meadow) could genuinely love him even if he couldn't always be the hero he wanted to be.

I felt like the ending was a bit rushed, though. Ian did progressively learn to act under fire when needed even while fighting off a panic attack (due to PTSD). However, at the end, he basically said he thought he had the panic attacks under control and would go back into active law enforcement. It just seemed abrupt, along with the wrap-up regarding the bad guys. I also don't quite see how the police managed to find (let alone find anything left of) two teeth and a toe left behind in a building that exploded and burned, which was needed for the bad guys to fake their deaths Anyway. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romantic suspense.
