Publisher's Summary

A Christian historical romance novel.

Widowed and with child, Emma Malcom is fleeing from the reward offered for her arrest. She’s innocent of the dirty dealings her deceased husband orchestrated, but the angry townspeople didn’t stop to listen to her defense before she narrowly escaped with her life. Now, she and her twin brother, Joseph, must battle the mountain wilderness of the Rockies to reach Canada and the clean start she craves. But when a fall from the rocky cliff leaves Joseph wounded and weak, could the strange mountain man they encounter be God’s gift to see them to safety?

Simeon Grant makes bad choices. His deceased wife and twin babies are lost to him now because of his reckless decisions, and the penance he pays by living alone in this mountain wilderness is only a small piece of what he thinks he deserves. When a city woman, heavy with child, appears on his doorstep with her injured brother, her presence resurrects the memories he’s worked so hard to forget. And when she asks for his help to travel deeper into the mountain country, he can’t help wonder why God would force him to relive the same mistakes he’s already suffered through. Or maybe taking these two to safety could be the way to redeem himself.

But when their travels prove more treacherous than he imagined, Simeon finds himself pressing the limits of his ability to keep Emma and her brother safe. Can he overcome the past that haunts him to be the man she needs? Will Emma break through the walls around Simeon’s heart before it’s too late, or will the dangers of these mountains be the end of them all?

Not what I expected

I understand why some people would love this book. But that’s not so for me.
I’ve read a couple of books written by Misty M Beller and enjoyed them very much. I was curious to read this one because of Alberta, where I live. I found many good reviews about This Treacherous Journey, so I used my credit to acquire it.
The beginning of the book intrigued me because the plot is good, but then it started to slow down.
After Simeon agrees to help Emma and her brother, I found myself fast forwarding a few times. I ended up skipping four chapters when Emma was kidnapped. I would listen just enough to learn if something different had happened.
There’s nothing wrong in reflecting about life, but the chapters are filled with them to the point that it became repetitive.
Unfortunately for me, this is one of those cases when authors filled the pages with extensive descriptions of actions and feelings to increase the number of pages.

The narrator is so so. Her characters’ voices are alright, but her narrating voice is throaty and airy. She should use more chest voice to sound natural. Her tone depressed the book in a negative way.

I haven’t given up on this author because I know she is good. But this one wasn’t my favourite.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
