Skyler Jordan is determined to rescue the coming mail-order bride from his offensive cousin.

Having only known abuse and heartache in her past, Brooke finds a hard time believing that Sky is really as nice as he seems.

While Brooke tries to understand what (or Who) makes Sky the way he is, Sky's focus is redirected to a ghastly crime in town. When Sky has to rescue Brooke a second time, this time from a murderer, will the couple admit their blossoming love?

I thought that Rocky Mountain Oasis by Lynnette Bonner was a good read. The crime that is talked of in the book is actually based on a real incident that took place in Pierce, Idaho in the late 1800's. Both plot and subplot kept me turning the pages.

Lynnette's research was obvious and the characters were easy to understand and imagine. I was impressed that Lynnette appropriately used quite a bit of Scripture in her novel. I find that the use of God's Word in "Christian" books today is usually lacking.

I look forward to reading Lynnette's second book, High Desert Haven, in which Jason Jordan (the offensive cousin) will reappear.
