Thank you to Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own. 

Rocky Mountain Rendezvous reminded me a lot of Forged in Love by Mary Connealy. While the stories are very different, the feel of the book was very much the same. They both included slow burn romances, exploring new places, and danger. If you like one, I think you would enjoy the other as well. 

One of the things I appreciated in this story was the relationships between Juniper and her sisters. I liked that she was close to all of them and was protective of them as well. 

Riley was such an honorable man, and I love how he took it upon himself to help out the Collins sisters to guide and protect them. I liked that compared to most of the men that were living around the rendezvous, he was completely different and didn’t take on their attributes. 

While I enjoyed these aspects, I did find this story quite slow for the first 60% of the book. The action and the romance really picked up near the end, and I found those parts quite enjoyable. I’m hoping that the sequel to this book will keep my attention more. 

I’m curious where this story is going, and I would recommend it to readers who enjoy learning about 1830s history in the US, slow paced stories, and determined characters.
