MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set in the Rocky Mountains, Book 2 in Lisa J. Flickinger’s Rocky Mountain Revival series features life in a logging camp. Both of the young protagonists have already tasted more of hardship and tragedy than many of us ever will. Each of them was quite mature for their age but most people grew up quickly in those days.<\/p>\n

The plot of Rocky Mountain Revelation<\/em> moves at a steady pace with frequent action and danger. A sinister undercurrent threatens the camp but those in charge find it difficult to pinpoint who is behind the plots of the wicked. Will and Madeline must learn to trust the Lord rather than their own strength and plans.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed this book and was happy to see that more than one evil plan was foiled however I am pretty sure readers have not seen the end of the troublemakers. I would not be at all surprised to see them turn up in the final book of the series where I hope they will either repent or be dealt with justly.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A Rocky Mountain logging camp may be just the place to start her new life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Widowed at nineteen, Madeline Lamb seeks to find a new husband amongst the crew of the Rocky Mountain log drive. With a baby growing inside her, she has no choice. She signs on as cook\u2019s helper, and it soon becomes apparent her options for a mate are limited. Madeline\u2019s grieving heart wavers between the security an older man offers and the tender feelings a new crew member stirs.<\/p>\n

Will Matheson earned the chance to work the high-paying spring log drive. The boon ensures he can recoup the logging wages stolen by a pretty face with some fast fingers. Frustration builds when the boss pulls him from the river and assigns him the job of camp chore boy. If it wasn\u2019t for the pretty cook\u2019s helper, he\u2019d take the first train home.<\/p>\n

When the dangers of the river journey prove more treacherous than anyone expects, the budding attraction between Will and Madeline is put to the test. If they survive the adventure, life as they know it will never be the same.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM LISA:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I research a new novel, I love to find obscure facts about the setting. My study of the old time river drives for Rocky Mountain Revelation <\/em>led me to a particularly tasty morsel.\u00a0 The river crews were served massive amounts of food over four meals to make up for all the energy expended transporting logs in the frigid water. Often, their meals included donuts.<\/p>\n

Yes, donuts! However, we\u2019re not talking about the scrumptious treat picked up at your local bakery or grocery store. These donuts were cooked over an open fire in the backwoods. Yum.<\/p>\n

Picture what they call a tin kitchen, a small boxy metal contraption, set over a blazing fire. The cook would place a wide mouthed aluminum basin on top and fill it with cooking oil. When the oil reached the perfect temperature he would drop the batter into the oil using a ladle. The piping hot donuts would be rolled in sugar when they were cooked and served to the crew fresh from the fire. A half whiskey barrel of donuts could disappear in just one meal. Several times a day, the cook would travel downstream by raft and repeat the process.<\/p>\n

Will, the hero of Rocky Mountain Revelation<\/em>, finds his sweetheart Madeleine particularly pretty with flour up to her elbows. However, he grows tired of the mounds of donuts and by the end of the drive attempts to trade them for the cook\u2019s fluffy biscuits.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the trip downriver with Will, Madeline\u2026and the donuts.<\/p>\n

Dear reader, enjoy!<\/p>\n
