The firefighter rescued her once… But can they outrun the dangers? A peaceful vacation is what Haley Gordon needs to put her troubles behind her. Instead, she finds herself fighting for her life against a raging forest fire. Forest Service firefighter Kendall Simpson vows to protect Haley—although he has questions about her story. But with the firestorm out of control and news of escaped convicts on the mountain, can Haley and Kendall trust each other enough to survive?

Blue Ridge Mountain Escape is a 5-star, fantastic Christian romance thriller! Loretta Eidson proves herself to be an incredible writer who strongly engages the reader from the first page to the last! I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys a clean, exciting, inspirational, and wonderful book.

Throughout the novel the main characters, Haley and Kendall, find themselves in dangerous situations from multiple sources. This excellent story is fast-paced, believable, and filled with wildfire and Forest Service Firefighter details. This reader greatly appreciates reading a great fictional story and truly learning real, helpful facts at the same time!


I love Haley’s moment-by-moment genuine Christian faith! So many excellent examples of sincere and personal prayers, being obedient to Scripture, and why we need to follow and honor God. Haley never watered down her Christian faith to please those around her and she was never ashamed to talk about and share her Christian faith. May we all be more like Haley because Scripture tells us in Luke 9:26: For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He come in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Every aspect of Blue Ridge Mountain Escape: the descriptions, actions, events, feelings, and characters are all believable and played like the best movie in my mind and experiencing a superb array of emotions and thoughts.

I am so thankful that via NetGalley, Harlequin approved my request to view the eARC of Blue Ridge Mountain Escape. I could not stop reading it! Not only is it intensely thrilling it is made complete with romance and redemption. All opinions contained in this review are my own.
