Rescued By The Ranger
A Native American Romance Set In The Appalachian Mountains

Surviving a plane crash can be a traumatic event, even for women specially trained to handle medical disasters. Forcing themselves to jump, they pray that their chutes open. Landing in the wilds of the Appalachian Mountains, with black bears, wolves, and bobcats on the prowl, the women are forced to pull together to survive.

Thankfully, rescue comes in the form of Native American volunteers from the local ranger’s station. The men are savvy survivalist, and experienced navigating the rough terrain. More importantly, their rescuers are on friendly terms with the clannish mountain men who still inhabit the Twelve Mountain region. It comes as a rude awakening to find that they are viewed as outsiders.

The women learn to keep to themselves, after discovering that not only are women scarce, but healers are few and far between. The remote area hasn’t had a real doctor since old Doc Sanderson passed, almost a year back. They could easily disappear into the mountains and never see civilization again. That fact is driven home repeatedly by the longing looks tossed their way from the savage mountain men.

All things considered, each woman finds herself grateful to be riding at a brave’s back. However, she must rely upon that man to feed her, keep her safe, and even to share his body heat at night. It’s natural to become overly familiar when traveling in such close proximity. It’s also difficult not to kindle romance with the playful males, especially since they are totally off the charts hot.

Just when things are warming up, one of the women is abducted by the unpredictable mountain folk. In the beginning, it is unclear if they take Cassandra because she’s a doctor or because her captor wants a bride. Unbeknownst to most people, capture brides have been part of the hill tradition for over a hundred years.

The crash of cultures leaves Cassandra’s head spinning, as she desperately tries to figure out a way to escape without bringing bloodshed to her new native friends or the clan members residing in the twelve mountain region. If there is a way out, she must find it before violence breaks out.

Please Note: This story is not intended to be a historically accurate description or interpretation of native or Scottish cultures. It is pure fantasy, straight from the writer’s imagination and it is only intended to entertain the reader.

Dreamily, he fantasized about making her beg for his touch. The anticipation of being able to talk to her was adding to the heady mixture of quickly developing love and lust flying back and forth between them. Bear was busily planning all the sexy things he was going to say to her.

What an adventure. This book first puts you in the middle of a plane crash, gliding down into the middle of nowhere. Here we meet Cassandra, Carrie, Tami, and Jennifer, three registered nurses and a doctor who are tough as nails and fully competent females. They wind up hiking up the mountain in search of survivors. Now, these women are amazing! Especially our heroine, Cassandra, she’s the one to take action, she’s strong minded and smart. I loved her!
Our brave and handsome ranger is Leidon. Sullen, quiet and hot, he’s also a lot smarter than he seems. He appears before Cassandra with a troop of men, wearing breechcloth and riding horses looking absolutely wild yet expecting for these ladies to follow him. We soon find out that the gorgeous males are Natives and the funniest part is that these men can’t speak English because of their tradition, so they are stuck trying to communicate with them through touch and body language, lots of body language.
Although Liedon can't speak English, the author does a wonderful job of letting us know what's on his mind. I also loved the small traces of their tribal roots throughout the book. As the relationship between Liedon and Cassandra starts building up you can't help but turn the page to see where these two will end up. This was definitely a sweet romance, and it goes to show you don’t need to say much to express how much you love someone.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a sweet romance, with an edgy twist. I ended up reading it in one sitting, as I didn't want to put it down. The characters are interesting and the story-line has a few twists which I didn't see coming.

Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
