Description
Billionaire Ian Shaw can have everything he wants--except a happy ending. Or at least that's what it feels like with his fortune recently liquidated, his niece, Esme, still missing, and the woman he loves refusing to speak to him. In fact, he doubts she would date him even if they were stranded on a deserted island. Despite her love for Ian, Sierra Rose knows he has no room in his life for her as long as the mystery of his missing niece goes unsolved. The only problem is, Sierra has solved it, but a promise to Esme to keep her whereabouts secret has made it impossible to be around Ian. When the PEAK chopper is damaged and Sierra lacks the funds to repair it, Ian offers a fundraising junket for large donors on his yacht in the Caribbean. But the three-day excursion turns into a nightmare when a rogue wave cripples the yacht and sends the passengers overboard. Shaken up and soaked to the bone, Ian finally has a chance to test his theory when he and Sierra do indeed find themselves washed up on a strange, empty shore. It will take guts and gumption for the PEAK team to rescue the duo. But it will take a miracle to rescue Ian and Sierra's relationship.… (more)
User reviews
Another thing I loved about the book besides the chemistry between Ian and Sierra is the developing relationship between Jess and Pete. I look forward to a future book with them. I also loved the cover of this book. The covers of her books just keep getting better with the good looking men on the cover.
I received an advance copy of this story from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own. Troubled Waters will be released on January 2, 2018.
Troubled Waters stands as the fourth novel in Susan May Warren's Montana Rescue series. I think it could be read alone, but the entire series is amazing and I recommend reading them in order, beginning with the free prequel, If Ever I Would Leave You. The prequel is where Sierra and Ian's story starts and they feature prominently in Wild Montana Skies.
I read Troubled Waters in two long sittings. It was so, so good. It seems that Susan May Warren likes to commence a story by dropping the reader right into a tense situation. It's a pretty effective hook and the tension continues throughout the story both externally and internally for the characters. I stayed engaged, wanting more, turning pages late into the night. I enjoyed the development of Sierra and Ian individually as well as a couple. There were twists that I didn't see coming and secondary characters that added more to the story. Overall, Troubled Waters is a great read.
I recommend Troubled Waters by Susan May Warren to fans of contemporary Christian romance. The Montana Rescue series is permeated with themes of redemption and plenty of romance. They occupy precious space on my bookshelf and will be read again.

The story is a Christian book, but not a preachy one. It shows how important it is to trust in God. It shows how trusting and not trusting affect people. It is a good example for us to learn from. I am looking forward to the next book and I hope to get a chance, soon to read the previous in the series.

Author: Susan May Warren
Pages: 352
Year: 2018
Publisher: Revell
My rating 5 out of 5 stars.
Readers will enjoy meeting several characters in the series and following many threads of the stories in each of the books. We begin the series with Montana
In Troubled Waters, the focus is on a couple of the main characters, Ian Shaw and Sierra Rose while occasionally sharing about Jess and Pete’s relationship, if they even have one. There is danger on the high seas when Ian takes his yacht out with some friends and runs into dangerous waters. What happens afterwards is adventure and suspense that keeps you turning pages and at times be on the edge of your seat! What Susan May Warren readers like me never know for sure is where she will take the action or climax in the book next and that is fun!
These unique stories are filled with descriptions of beautiful scenery and some dangerous moments for the rescue team known as PEAK. I enjoy the steady pace of the plot and the heightened moments of danger where the team is either rescuing others or trying to extract themselves from places where death could be moments away!
I hope you will all get caught up in the series before the fifth novel is released. These are books you will want to read again and again or share with other members of your family. Don’t be surprised if your friends want to read them as well!

***I received this complimentary book from Library Thing's Early Reviewer Program. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
This book focuses on two potential couples: Ian Shaw and Sierra Rose; Jess Tagg and Pete. Ian
The Pete/Jess relationship was a bit more interesting to me because I was learning more about the life Jess chose to leave and why.
It just seemed like the couples couldn't get on the same page. When one was ready, the other was not and vice versa. There's only so much of that I can read before I say "Oh, come on! Appreciate what you have with each other and move forward!"
The book also deals with the PEAK rescue team. In the beginning of the book, they are dealt the loss of equipment that threatens to close down their operation. Sierra puts together a fund raising junket using Ian's yacht to try to save PEAK. The trip goes a little "Gilligan's Island"-ish with a series of random events that put lives in danger and separate the group.
Overall I like the series and I like that the author is able to write romantic suspense without the seemingly obligatory-to-the-genre sex scene(s). I think this book is bit higher on the romance side than the suspense side--maybe that's why I liked book 5 a bit better than this book.
