Book: Rocky Mountain Redemption
Author: Lisa J. Flickinger
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: May 5, 2020
A Rocky Mountain logging camp may be just the place to find herself.
To escape the devastation caused by the breaking of her wedding engagement, Isabelle Franklin joins her aunt in the Rocky Mountains to feed a camp of lumberjacks cutting on the slopes of Cougar Ridge. If only she could out run the lingering nightmares.
Charles Bailey, camp foreman and Stony Creek’s itinerant pastor, develops a reputation to match his new nickname — Preach. However, an inner battle ensues when the details of his rough history threaten to overcome the beliefs of his young faith.
Amid the hazards of camp life, the unlikely friendship growing between the two surprises Isabelle. She’s drawn to Preach’s brute strength and gentle nature as he leads the ragtag crew toiling for Pollitt’s Lumber. But when the ghosts from her past return to haunt her, the choices she will make change the course of her life forever—and that of the man she’s come to love.

I really enjoy Christian Historical Fiction books. I was really hooked only a few pages into the book, like "don't bother me, I am deep into this book" focus!
Isabelle Franklin is one of the main character of the book. She decides to go to be with her Aunt in the Rocky Mountains, after she ends her Engagement to the man she was supposed to marry. She feels she needs new surroundings and new beginnings. Isabelle is settling in as assistant Camp Cook at the Loggers Camp and meets Charles Bailey aka "Preach". Isabelle and "Preach" begin forming a friendship and that soon leads to deeper feelings toward each other. Isabelle's past is revealed and they both wonder if the relationship can continue. How will Isabelle and "Preach" overcome the sensitive past for Isabelle?
I really enjoyed this book. It is Book 1 in a new series, Rocky Mountain Revival, by Lisa J. Flickinger. I really like the authors writing style. The book does contain a "sensitive topic", but it is handled in a wonderful way. The inspirational aspect of Forgiveness and Healing, allowing God to be the center of your life, is encouraging. I really LOVE the Rocky Mountain setting and the History in this story. GREAT BOOK! I highly recommend it!
More from Lisa
I have a confession to make. I’m a square dancer, a real live square dancer who do-si-dos and allemande-lefts my way around a square every Thursday night. And lest you think it’s a room full of eighty year olds, our youngest dancer is a mere twenty-four.It was on the dance floor I first met Larry. Logger Larry, the Paul Bunyan like soul who regaled me with tales of chopping trees in the Rocky Mountains. He told stories about grizzlies who hunted men for their next meal, brawls in the bunkhouse only the hardy could survive, and life threatening axe injuries when they had to carry the wounded through the forest for miles.
Larry’s stories provided a great background for a romantic novel and sent me on a mission to research late 1800’s logging camps. It’s at Pollitt’s Lumber, in 1898, where we meet our hero and heroine, Preach and Isabelle, and join their cautious journey toward love. It’s also where we meet a ragtag bunch of lumberjacks whose antics would get on anyone’s last nerve.
I fell in love with the characters of Rocky Mountain Redemption as they tromped onto the pages, and I’m thrilled to introduce them to you in Book One of the Rocky Mountain Revival Series.
Dear reader, enjoy!
