Book Review: Dangerous Montana Inheritance by Jenna Night
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5 stars)
Release date: September 30
Thanks to @NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
The second I read the blurb for this book, I was in. A woman inherits a house from a loan shark—random, right? No one knows why she was chosen, and honestly, neither does she. Naturally, the moment she shows up to check it out, things go sideways fast. Her life is suddenly in danger, and just when things get really sketchy, this guy steps in to help her. And plot twist—he’s not just some stranger. He’s a former classmate. Oh, and also a former Army Ranger. (I’m married to one, so yeah... instant soft spot.)
From there, the story turns into this fast-paced ride as Rose and Henry (the aforementioned Army Ranger) try to figure out who’s after her and why. There’s mystery, danger, and a good bit of running for their lives. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this book kept up the pace—it never felt slow, and I was always eager to see what would happen next. The characters are easy to root for (minus the mafia guys, obviously 😅), and the chemistry between Rose and Henry is that kind of slow-burn romance that makes you want to keep reading just to see them finally admit how they feel.
One thing I really liked? The Christian themes. They’re there, but never preachy—just enough to add some heart and meaning to the story.
Now the reasons why I did not give it a 4-star: I really wanted to fully connect with Rose and Henry's romance, but there was something a little underdeveloped about it. I liked them together, but I didn’t quite feel their connection as deeply as I hoped. Also, there were a lot of attacks on Rose’s life. Like, A LOT. To the point where I was kind of like, “Okay, again?!”
Still, I found myself entertained throughout. If you enjoy stories with mystery, action, a touch of romance, and underlying themes of faith and resilience, this is a solid pick when it releases on September 30.
