Montana Secrets #5
Final Witness
Emma has seen far too many people die--and now she's been framed for her father's murder by the witness protection officers who killed him. They were supposed to protect her. But now they just want to see her dead.
And now Emma is running for her life. If she can make it across the country, can she start a new life in some remote part of the Rockies and simply disappear? There's no one she can turn to, no one she dares trust…until she hides in a horse trailer to narrowly escape capture and ends up in the hands of a handsome rancher who doesn't believe her story.
Will he prove to be her protector, or will he turn her over to the authorities?

About the author
Roxanne Rustand
101 books633 followersRoxanne is a USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author of forty romantic suspense, mystery, and heart-warming, emotionally charged relationship novels in the clean & wholesome, as well as inspirational romance genres.
She got her first horse at the tender age of six and grew up riding bareback with wild abandon throughout her small Minnesota town year-round. It was like giving a child car keys!
She showed horses for many years, and later, she and her husband raised quarter horses and thoroughbreds until their kids came along.
She's living her childhood dream, living on an acreage in the country with her husband, three horses (all beloved elderly pasture ornaments, now), a golden retriever, a Mountain Cur rescue, and six fluffy barn cats. It's a much smaller menagerie than when their three kids were still at home!
Ranches, animals, and small-town life frequently find their way into her books.

Another enjoyable book by Roxanne Rustand
Enjoyable+ exciting! Suspense, mystery and romance combine to make this a page-turner. I loved the ranch background and the happy ending.

the “attack” goose vs the drug cartel assassin was my favorite part
The author has penned another winner. Emma has been in WITSEC since childhood after witnessing a murder. Her mother died under suspicious circumstances. Her father is gunned down. She finds a dead WITSEC agent in her house and overhears that the killers are setting her up to be charged with the crime.
She runs for her life and is tracked. She hides in a horse trailer and meets Jake, a former deputy,
She tells him a lie about who is chasing her. But she has 3 more attempts on her life, he offers her sanctuary on his ranch.
Danger follows her. Danger and betrayal hit the ranch also. Many twists and turns. It’s always clear who her bad guy is. But not clear about who is stealing cattle from Jake.
I like the combination of characters in Roxanne’s books. I originally chose hers because there is a dog on her covers. I love the horses, the ranch family, the attack goose, the glimpses of ranch work, especially in winter storms. A growing romance. No f-bombs or sex scenes. Just a well-told story with a happy ending.

Loved it from the beginning! Suspense and romance in the continuing story of three friends. I enjoyed the way this story unfolded but feel sad that it's the last of this series. I must say, though, that Emma knew how to ruin a good meal. Every time they began to eat she made an announcement that stopped everyone from enjoying what she cooked...lol.

way good book!👍
I keep saying that each Roxanne Rustland’s book I just finished was the best yet, but I hadn’t read FINAL WITNESS by Roxanne Rustand. Now thinking it’s the best!!!I will probably run out of her books soon but I plan to keep reading until I do. I’m a 72 year young grandma that loves a good rescue😃

Engaging Seriously es
Each book in the Montana Secrets series is about someone different, but each one gives voice to the characters trust and belief in God. It's a pleasure to read a novel that has a plot, good morals and a great ending. The main characters start out in less that optimal circumstances, but always wind up just where God wants them. Highly recommended.

Exciting novel packed with adventure.
After the last two books in the series, I wasn’t sure I would fully like this novel, Final Witness. This novel delivers the goods with adventure, mayhem and a belief that God oversees all. Highly recommended

Great book!!
As always,Ms Rustand had written an exciting, wonderful clean romantic suspense. I wish there were more authors who would write Christian romantic suspense.
