Take Me To the Edge (Mountain Men of Whiskey River #7) by Kaci Rose

ABOUT THE BOOK

She’s my best friend’s wife. I made him a promise I never thought I’d have to keep. Now I’m about to dishonor him in the worst possible way…

River
I thought the hardest thing I’d ever have to do was bury my husband, my best friend, and the father of the child growing inside me.

Little did I know my husband asked his friend Storm to watch over me should anything happen.

Now that the worst has happened, or so I thought, Storm has me moved in with him.
A cabin in the Montana woods seems like a great place to hide for the battle ahead of us plus now the pesky pregnancy hormones have me feeling the kinds of things I should be for Storm.

I bet that poor man can’t wait to get rid of me…

Storm
My life in the mountains was simple and quiet… until River.

When my best friend Jason made me promise to take care of his pregnant wife, I never imagined I’d have to keep it.

Now, the woman I promised to protect, is under my roof and under my skin. But not everyone seems ready to let Jason rest in peace and River might be the one to pay the price.

I made a vow to protect her and I will do whatever it takes to keep that promise, even if it means letting her go and having her take my heart with her…

MY REVIEW

As a reader, it can be frustrating to start a book in the middle of a series, but fear not, this book can stand on its own. It tells a touching story of loss and love in the small town of Whiskey River.

The characters are what make this book shine. Storm and River are both endearing and relatable, and their group of friends adds richness to the story. The plot contains just the right amount of conflict and angst, and the resolution feels satisfying without being overly tidy.

However, some readers may find the pacing a bit rushed and wish for a longer, more detailed story. For example, while Storm’s work with dogs is mentioned, it could have been further explored to add depth to his character. Additionally, the mention of his wounded leg could have been expanded upon to flesh out his backstory.

Furthermore, some readers may take issue with the writing style. At times, it can feel repetitive and even mechanical. The overuse of phrases like “hard as nails” may come across as tacky or cliché.

Despite these minor criticisms, this book is a heartwarming and enjoyable read for those who appreciate simple, sweet stories with lovable characters. Give it a try and see if you fall in love with the town of Whiskey River and its residents.

Thank you to Ms. Rose for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
