The Unexpected Christmas Guest 1870, Montana Desperate to escape her past, Miss Journey Smith heads deep into Montana Territory. Then a terrible accident strands her in the tiny town of Walten during the Christmas season. The townspeople welcome Journey into their hearts and homes, leading her to dream of a normal life, full of happiness, holidays--and the town's handsome parson. Enchanted by the troubled beauty, Zane Thompson knows Journey is not what she seems. But she can't--or won't--trust him with her secrets, especially when her past reappears with a vengeance. Soon the parson must risk his life and his faith to offer Journey the greatest Christmas gift of all--his heart.
Delightful, Involving, can not wait for more from this Author

Truly enjoyed this tender, yet suspenseful story. The author has created great characters and you cheer for Journey and Zane as well as Miss Rose, Abby and Sam. And rather then "clobber" you over the head with how Journey finds her faith, the author lets her discover it on her own so it is believable that it happened. The same is true with the danger to Journey to loose all she has gained; the Author weaves a excellent story to free her and have hope of a future with Zane. Can not wait to see the next story for Kerri Mountain!

This is the first book by author Kerri Mountain, and to be honest, I cannot wait to read her next tale!I devoured this in 3 evenings! I hated to put it down,and was happy to get back to it,so I could see what was going to happen next with Journey, Miss Rose, and Zane. The way Ms. Mountain depicted these characters made them seem so "real" to me! I could "picture" them in my mind's eye,and that does not always happen when I read a novel. Job well done to Ms. Mountain! I hope she does a "part two" to let us know what will happen next to Zane, and Journey! This is a fine read. I hated to come to the end, as I had enjoyed these folks so very much. It has all the right ingredients for the recipe of a page-turning tale....Romance, mystery, suspense,and a heaping teaspoon of some mighty staunch characters! Enjoy!
