An ex-cop must rescue a woman—and keep her alive—as a killer tracks her through the wilds of Alaska. . . .

When someone tries to grab Summer Dawson on a secluded mountain path, she escapes—but soon discovers she’s a serial killer’s latest target. Her brother’s friend, ex-cop Clay Hitchcock, promises she won’t become the next victim, though—even if it means putting himself at risk . . .

Clay thought he was done with law enforcement, but after finding Summer running for her life off a mountain trail, he’s back in cop mode. Determined to protect her, Clay shadows the brave, beautiful mountain runner. Now if they want to stay alive, Clay and Summer must work together to bring down the crazed killer lurking in the wilderness.

So Good!

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2018

So good! What a wonderful setting for a story. I've never heard of a sport that involves mountain ridgeline running before that is apparently famous worldwide. This story is packed with action and suspense from beginning to end, and it includes a spiritual thread that reminds us that even when we botch up our lives with disastrous mistakes, our Heavenly Father never gives up on us.. Summer's response of, "I do," when her heart heard, "Do you want to be made whole?" reminded me of a similar experience I had during a very painful time in my life. Thank you, Ms. Garland, for Avery enjoyable afternoon.

When I read this book I felt like I jumped in and could feel the intensity of the situations. All of Sarah’s books are amazing and I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

Enjoyable read, started off fast, but some parts of the book was repetitive. The heroine kept going back to what happened in her past and how she felt she had let her family down. Loved the hero. This book had attempted murder, arson, and attempted kidnapping, all in all a good book.

Chilling suspense in the vast Alaskan wilderness

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2018

It usually takes a few pages or even a chapter to really get me hooked on a book, but Mountain Refuge got me from the very first page. You jump right in to the suspense of a serial killer out in the majestic but sometimes eerie wilderness of Alaska. I was hooked enough that I read the entire thing in one sitting (past two in the morning when I finally went to bed creeped out over the possibility of a serial killer nearby!).

Summer Dawson and her family run a lodge out in the wilderness of Alaska (4 siblings total...hoping that maaaaaaaaybe there's enough there to write a few more books so we can see each one in their own story???), but being hunted by a serial killer has brutally interrupted their summer. Summer is the only one to have ever survived an encounter with the killer, who has a chilling habit of gruesomely murdering women who match a certain look. Now that she's escaped, she's being hunted. How do you continue to evade a madman bent on your death who lets nothing stand between him and his victim?

Clay Hitchcock is in Alaska just to get a change of scenery and help out a friend, Tyler Dawson. Immediately upon his arrival, he's thrust in to the path of a killer. Clay, a former cop, agrees to act as Summer's 24/7 bodyguard, but they both know she can't evade the killer forever. Instead, the two of them want to turn the tables and expose the psycho to put an end to the deadly game.

The author contrived great characters in Summer and Clay - Summer is strong and independent, shielding her heart from hurts in the past and determined to not become prey to the one that hunts her. Clay is level-headed and a clear thinker. He's not afraid to confront the evil of the world - he's only afraid of what could happen to Summer should he fail.

This deadly game of cat-and-mouse will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the very end. The imagery makes you feel like you are right there walking with Clay and Summer as they run from the hidden killer on their tail. This book did not disappoint and I hope to see more of the Dawsons again soon.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Mountain Refuge. I really enjoy Sarah's work and this is an excellent example of her work. This story is well written, action packed, and full of intrigue. Faith is interwoven throughout the story. I know you are going to love this book.

Summer Dawson was a mountain runner, she had become quite famous in her world. A few years ago she had almost destroyed her life and is trying to make it up to her family. Now she doesn't have the time to run competitively but she still trains. She loves to run the mountains. She uses her celebrity status to try to save their family lodge. She's up on the mountain when she is attacked on the trail. She manages to escape and runs up on the highway. She flags down car and jumps in. The man claims to be a friend of her brother, can she really trust this man?

Ex-Police Officer Clay Hitchcock comes to the lodge to work for the summer. Tyler Dawson is giving him a fresh start from his problems at Treasure Point Police Force, but he warns him to keep away from his two sisters. Clay no more than arrives when Tyler sends him out to find his sister, Summer. She's over an hour late from her run. When Clay, Tyler, and Sheriff Noah Dawson find out that she was attacked they believe that it was a serial killer. Clay is elected to keep Summer safe. How can he do that and keep his heart safe at the same time?

A journey of two broken souls trying to keep ahead of a serial killer. God has a plan for these too. A plan of healing, trust, and self-forgiveness. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him turn your life around.
