[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome read. This was a book that had non stop action and chases by bad guys. Great plot and characters

[Joan Arning · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mountain Captive is full of suspense and action! A kidnapping, blizzards, being shot at, abduction, snowmobiles running out of gas and an avalanche are just part of the action facing Jude and Lacey. Both Jude and Lacey have withdrawn from people including God because of events in their past. The events in Montana that throw them together make them take another look at needing the love of God and a special person in their lives. You will enjoy the action in Mountain Captive. I won a copy of Mountain Captive in a Suspense Sisters giveaway. This is my honest opinion.

WOW!!!!!!

This is a really, really good book!! With lots of intrique, mystery and intense moments!! Jude and Lacey managed to get into some tight spots, what with snow storms and being chased by non-profit bad guys.

An exciting and fun read. Lacey and Jude sure spend a lot of time in danger in this story! I liked this book, the mountainous setting was neat and the blizzard conditions that Lacey and Jude are out in while searching for the missing child sure had my heart racing. Good story.

It was a good suspense story but the love story was a little much to actually believe.
