Book: Earning the Mountain Man’s Trust
Author: Misty M. Beller
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: April 9, 2024
In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, second chances…and a hidden fortune.
Naomi Wyatt has finally given up on the man who once promised to love her for the rest of his life—then disappeared with no way to contact him. She’s now a single mother with a beautiful baby girl to provide for, a daughter whose red hair reminds her daily of the man she gave her heart to. She has to move on though, so when Jonah Coulter asks for her hand in marriage, she knows she would be hard-pressed to find a better husband for herself and father for her sweet daughter. He’s a Coulter, after all, and he’s proven to be a good friend during her darkest hours.
But when her first love rides onto the ranch property saying he’d been searching for her for months, her heart is shredded once again. Before she has time to catch her breath though, a new threat appears on the horizon. This time she has far more at stake than her heart, and only a Divine hand can turn this disaster for their good.
From the USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a second chance romance, love triangles, hidden treasure, and love that heals wounded hearts.

My Thoughts on Earning the Mountain Man’s Trust
Earning the Mountain Man’s Trust is a wonderful historical fiction novel. I love this author and all of her novels are amazing! I think I’ve read every single one of hers. And they’re amazing. All of them. This is book three in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Series. Please read them all. And read them all in order. They’re each amazing in their own rite but reading them in order gives you the fullest picture and will bring the most reading pleasure.
This book covers a few hard topics, such as premarital relations and a child out of wedlock. But they’re done tastefully and well in this novel. It’s also faith-based, full of Scripture and prayers.
Mary Ellen is adorable. I loved seeing the character development of Eric and how he and Naomi are working through things. It moved quickly. The characters are wonderful. We get to revisit characters from previous books as well. I can’t say enough good about this book. And I can’t think of a single bad thing to say.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

Storytelling vs. Historical Authenticity?
I’ve been a fan of historical fiction for as long as I can remember, all the way back to the Mandie books by Lois Gladys Leppard and the Sadie Rose books by Hilda Stahl. Does anyone remember those series?
When I started thinking about my first novel, there was no doubt it would be a Christian Historical Romance set in the west. By my second book in, I had narrowed my focus to frontier life in the Rockies. My happy place!
It can be challenging to write about a time I haven’t experienced and cultures that don’t exist in the same form anymore. I love reading first-hand accounts to help me bring a particular time period to life. I often visit historic forts and talk with those who have studied the time period and setting in greater depth.
Three years ago, My family and I set out on a 28-day epic road trip to tour many of the state and national parks across the country. We spent about half of our time in Wyoming and Montana, exploring Yellowstone and Glacier, and touring historic and ghost towns. We spent more than one-night tent camping in primitive camping!
These experiences definitely make it easy for me to slip into that world as I write. The characters come alive in my mind, and I see the story like a movie in my head. Writing Earning the Mountain Man’s Trust was especially fun to write, as we return to the Coulter Ranch. I fell in love with not just Naomi and Eric, but also sweet little Mary Ellen, their one-year-old daughter whom Eric meets for the first time in this book.
I pray the story comes to life for readers as much as it has for me! J
Blessings!
