Montana Secrets #2
Final Chance
Arson. Attempted murder. And Kris Donaldson is the prime suspect. Why won't anyone believe she's innocent?
After years on the run from an abusive ex, Kris receives an unexpected inheritance, an acreage in the Rockies near a small, quaint mountain town. It's her dream come true--a chance to establish an animal rescue and finally lead a peaceful life. Perhaps there's even a chance of forever-after with the intriguing rancher next door.
But her dreams might just prove fatal. A stalker will stop at nothing to destroy her new life. The threats are mounting. She's being framed for heinous crimes. Her reputation, happiness, and in the end, her life is on the line. As always, she can simply cut her losses and run. But this time, there's too much at stake.
This time, she's going to stay.

Final Chance by Roxanne Rustand
Series Book Two
Trace Randall is an ex-rodeo rider, now a rancher. Things happened in his past that he carries the guilt for…even though it’s not his to carry. So when a new neighbor moves in, he helps her…with the push from his sister Carrie…but he keeps himself distant in other ways.
Kristine “Kris” Donaldson just found out she inherited property. If only she knew she had a living relative…besides her mother who disappeared and then her sister cutting off all contact. She’d been through the foster system, fell for the wrong guy, and got drawn into his unlawfulness. She has a new hope now, fixing up Wind Hill and selling it to get out of debt and start a new life. Only, so far, that plan isn’t going too well.
After Kris gets the county contract for using her property as the local animal shelter, things go wrong. Trace does all he can to protect her, but she’s pretty independent. Kris, Erin, and Megan had been close friends. But, after Laura was murdered while they were children, all their lives changed. I’m enjoying this series and looking forward to the next book.

Imagine being alone in the world, burdened by past mistakes and feeling unworthy of a good life. The most important goal Kris has is finding her sister, separated while they were in foster care. Then imagine inheriting a cabin in the Rocky Mtns! From there the author creates an exciting story that weaves fear, romance and hope all through it! I enjoyed this book as much as the first in this series and look forward to the next one!

Montana Secrets #2
Another episode from the characters of the Montana series. Rustand writes a good suspense. This one gave us Kris's return to her Aunt cabin where she spent time with the few relatives she had left. Alone now except for her old pup she swore she would run do what she could not to have to sell her inheritance. Looking forward to part 3 in the Montana Secrets series.

Final Chase
Kris shows up with her dog and is looking at the cabin and what needs to be done. Trace thinks she's broken in and calls the sheriff. They both are good people with a tortured past. Everyone helps her get the place up to code and she's given the contract for the county animal shelter. They try to keep distance between them but when someone burns down her cabin and tries to kill her, Trace steps in, helps with the arrest and wins the girl. Great story.

Is her ex coming after her?
Goodness I really didn't see this coming. She is new to town and ends up opening up the county Animal shelter. He comes over to help the new neighbor get her place ready for the animal shelter. Low and behold carrying out a court order to take position of some very sick dogs and her life will be for ever changed.

Suspense, Mystery, and Revenge!
Again, I did not figure out the mysteries until close to the end, enlarging the suspense. Second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness of one's own self, as well as of others, learning to trust in whatever circumstance, and letting go of the past. All great topics, coupled with great and interesting characters. Well done!

Final Chance
Such a wonderful story of mystery, danger and a bit of romance. Kris had struggled as a foster child, then married a man who blamed her for his crimes. When an aunt she never knew leaves her a rundown estate in Montana, will it be a blessing or a curse? Someone doesn’t want her here. Will the sheriff be able to find the threat before it is too late?

What a wonderful story. I absolutely loved Kris and Trace—they made a beautiful couple who genuinely deserved second chances. The supporting cast was thoughtfully developed, and the world-building was expertly crafted. This faith-based narrative kept me completely engaged from start to finish.

Good, clean, suspenseful fun!
I enjoyed this book, with the characters who struggled with forgiving themselves and finding each other. There were some twists and turns, which I enjoyed. I am looking forward to the other books in this series!

Great
The only downside is the ending...great up until And then a bit sappy. Kinda left a bad taste, too bad. Could have been good.
