Reviewed by MistflowerOne of the last outposts of the American West, the Montana Territory is filled with promise and adventure for those with brave souls—and open hearts . . .
Leader of the Timberbeasts, logger Simon Sanders’ biggest problem a year ago was deciding which willing woman to seduce. But since being mauled by a cougar he’s become a pariah in Missoula’s social circuit—and to himself. All he wants is to hide his scarred face and disappear into the bottom of a whiskey bottle. His plan is going well—until his sister’s best friend, Carrie Kerr, kidnaps him and forces him to deal with his demons. If he didn’t know better, Simon would swear the bossy beauty is a demon herself . . .
Carrie doesn’t like to use the word kidnap. Unknowingly transport, perhaps. In any case, she can no longer watch Simon destroy himself in self-pity. Not since she lost her heart to him as she nursed him back to health. Now, whatever happens between them, she’s determined to bring him back to the one place he swore he’d never return to, the place she’s sure will reignite his spirit. But if things go awry, will she
will she lose all hope for him to win back his life—much less share it with her? . . .
If you read my review of the first book in this series, you will know that I absolutely loved it. The same goes for this novel, Wild Passion. I stayed up until 4am on a Saturday night to finish this book.

Wild Passion is the second book in the “A Montana Mountain Romance” trilogy. I suggest readers read the first book in the series “White Water Passion” before reading this book. It’s not absolutely necessary but that is my recommendation. The reason I suggest that is because of the cast of characters and the evolving plot. When I finished book one, I had hoped that Simon, Elizabeth’s brother, and Carrie, Elizabeth’s best friend, would get their own book. I wanted to read how they’d develop into a couple with a happy ever after ending. Simon deserved to be loved. Now you are wondering who is Elizabeth? She was the heroine in White Water Passion. The first book ended with Simon being severely injured and Carrie nursing him back to health.
It’s my impression that the books would be better read in one sitting. The third book isn’t out yet but we already know it’s going to be about the characters, Wall and Victoria. The plot in this series is elaborate and continuous with the characters all intertwined.
Simon was irresistible even with his scars from his attack. He’s brave, funny, strong and I love a man who will protect me. It was great how Carrie “unknowingly transported” Simon in the beginning of the story. What a great hook to immediately draw in the reader. Carrie was an entertaining leading lady. She’s was a mix of strong, vulnerable and mischief characteristics.
It’s frustrating that I can’t explain why I loved this book without thinking of the first book. It genuinely has to do with the relationship the reader develops with the characters. Aunt June is an older woman who is the cook at the camp who is Carrie’s Godmother. Her meddlesome ways add humor to the plot. This book as a little something for everyone.
There are many emotional ups and downs mixed with “stomach flip” moments. I don’t think I can walk through the woods without looking up at the tops of the trees for a widow maker. A widow maker is a branch that is dead and could fall on you at any moment killing you.
The only concern I had was the plot thread regarding Carrie and her father. He’s the reason why she’s on the mountain in the first place. Carrie repeatedly expresses how she’s never going to marry and how she wants to be just like Aunt June. The story ends with me not knowing how her relationship between her or her father was resolved. That might be irrelevant to some people but it bothered me because her mother apparently is “fragile” and needs her. I will assume that the relationship will be addressed in book three.
Of course I’ll be reading book three. “Fiery Passion”. We already know it’s going to be about Victoria who I hated in book one but then had a change of heart by the end of book one but in book two she wasn’t nice at all. So I’ll read book three out of curiosity. I’m very fond of the character, Wall. I was hoping Beth would have chosen him over Garrett for a few pages. Wall deserves someone to love him. I’m just not sure Victoria deserves him. I guess we’ll have to wait to find out.
In conclusion, at this time I love this series. Dawn Luedecke sure knows how to write sensual romances that are entertaining, exciting and suspenseful. It will make a great binge-read in the future once all three books are available. In the meantime, if you haven’t read book one then go do that and then enjoy book two. They both are difficult to put down so make sure you have ample time to ride this wild, adrenaline inducing romance!
