Gather Atonement (Beartooth, Montana, #4) Engineered By B.J. Daniels Textbook

how far are people willing to go to keep their secrets

Protecting the citizens of Beartooth, Montana, is never an easy job.
One year later, Sheriff Dillon Lawson still feels guilty that he couldn't save his twin brother, Ethan.
But the biggest test of his bravery comes when Tessa Winters arrives, claiming to be pregnantwith Ethan's baby.
At first, Dillon can't decide if this beautiful woman is a con artist or a victim, If Ethan didn't die in that car crash, then where is heand why is he hiding

Now, Dillon is prepared to do anything to uncover the truthanything except admit his growing feelings for Tessa.
But with violence threatening, Tessa and Dillon must trust in each other to save not only themselvesbut also Tessa's unborn child.
What a story teller! Clearly BJ didnt let me down with her newest release of Atonement! She certainly has a knack for writing mystery, excitement, romance, murder, intrigue, and about sexy men! OH, the men.
Frank is back and is in trouble, Ethan and Dillon are the twins, and in comes Tessa.
. I am in LOVE with Dillon and Frank, and so are the women of this book, The manner in which BJ writes about the mountains makes me want to visit that area, She is very descriptive in her writings of small town, Beartooth and about the lives of the folks that reside there.
have to admit though I cried a little, the ending made me happy! WELL DONE, BJ Very predictable story line.
I used to read a lot of romance novels but now only pick one up as a respite between meatier books.
This one worked fine for that purpose, Atonement grabbed me from the very beginning as nearly all of B, J. Daniels' books do. We return to Beartooth, Montana and pick up with some of our old friends and acquaintences and we meet a few new ones.
As always, there is mystery and danger and romance everything we need in a book!
I especially enjoyed getting to know what happened with Frank, Nettie and Pam.
I was so happy to see the crows return!! This was just one of the threads in this book.
We follow Dillon Lawson, undersheriff of Beartooth and Tessa Winters as they search for Dillon's twin brother, Ethan.
We learn the backstory of Ethan's disappearance and we get to meet all the bad guys while learning that story.

I love books with multiple plots going on and generally have no problem following each one, but there were a few abrupt changes that threw me for a loop for a paragraph or so.


This is a fun book to read, I wanted to read it in one sitting, but the book arrived on a weekday and I had to be up for work the following morning.
It only took me two sittings to read it through, And when I was done, I went back and reread the other Beartooth books that B, J. has written. I love it when a book makes me want to catch up with previous characters again,

Ce titre fait partie dune série, cest le quatrième opus, Evidemment, je ne les ai pas lu, mais au départ, je navais pas fais du tout attention au fait que ce soit une série, du coup juste avant de le débuter, sachant que cest quand même le numéro quatre, jai légèrement flipper.
Mais je vous rassure, aucun problème nest venu ternir ma lecture, apparemment chaque livre de cette série peut se lire indépendamment et ils ne sont pas reliés entre eux.
Ce qui ne mempêchera pas de découvrir les autres titres, celuici mayant plu, jai envie de lire les autres également.


Au dépat, cest le titre et la couverture qui mont attirée, ensuite est venu le résumé qui a achevé de me donnée envie den savoir plus.
Jaime la romance, jaime tout ce qui tourne autour du genre thriller/suspens, les deux ensemble et cest impossible que je passe à côté !

Le seul point que je pourrais qualifier de négatif, cest que dès le départ nous savons que Ethan nest pas mort, nous le savons dès les premières pages.
Honnêtement, jaurais apprécié ne le découvrir que plus tard dans lintrigue, mais en même temps, le fait de le savoir ajoute aussi un peu de piquant lorsque nous suivons en parallèle les deux frères.
Si malgré tout je le considère comme négatif , eh bien cest tout simplement parce que de mon point de vue, cela gâche un peu le côté suspens de lintrigue.
Un peu comme dans les séries policières où nous commençons par voir le meurtre et que vient seulement ensuite toute la partie de lenquête qui mènera lenquêteur jusquà lui.
Personnellement, je trouve que cela casse un peu le goût de cette envie que nous avons de découvrir qui et pourquoi.
Mais ce nest là que ma vision des choses, encore une fois, nous avons chacun notre manière dapprécier un livre et son déroulement.


Pour le reste, eh bien ce nest que positif, Du moins pour moi ! Que ce soit lintrigue dans sa globalité, la fluidité de lécriture ainsi que son adictivité, que ce soit encore la cohérence dans la trame de fond, tout y est.
Les personnages sont travaillés, ainsi que le décor et lenvie de donner au lecteur de résoudre lénigme.
Lauteure a su titiller ma curiosité, et maintenant, certains de ses titres se retrouvent dans ma méga liste des livres que jai envie de découvrir.
"Daniels' latest grabs the reader from page one, With her crisp storytelling, she gives us welldefined, genuine characters within a solidly crafted plot filled with mystery.
The strong tension and suspense surrounding Dillon and Tessa will keep readers turning the pages, Dillon's mix of strong and gentle makes him an appealing hero, Daniels is truly an expert at western romantic suspense", RT Book s, ratedstars

Beartooth, Montana, bookHard to believe but this is the first book I've read by B.
J. Daniels but it won't be my last, I look forward to reading the other books in this series as well as others she's written.


Although Atonement is the fourth book in the series for the most part I was able to fill in most of the blanks of what may have come before.
There was a nice flow to the story as well as good character development and a couple of mysteries thrown in as well.
At times my heart would race especially with the weather, the violence and the evilness of some.
Nice happily ever after and the prologue and epilogues were nice additions and rounded out the book nicely.


Wonderful descriptions of the land, the homes, businesses and locations that I felt I was there.
Books were reminiscent to me of those by Diana Palmer,.stars. Another good installment. You can always depend on a good story from this author with romance and plenty of mystery.
And yes, finally a resolution to the Frank/Pam/Nettie saga though not what I expected, If anything though, I

found the Dillon/Tessa relationship a little weak but with Tessa pregnant I suppose the options were limited.
Can't wait for the next one,"The Good Twin" Stars for the story and,for the narration.

Atonement is like two romantic suspense titles wrapped up in one, For those of you who have been following the Beartooth Montana Series, you will be familiar with both of the heroes.
While it is possible to read this as a standalone title, given the intricate interconnections of the various characters, particularly as it relates to the suspense, I suggest that you read or listen to this series in chronological order.


The main story revolves around Under Sheriff Dillon Lawson the good twin and his identical brother, Ethan, who he believes passed away a year earlier.
That is until Tessa Winters arrives in town claiming to be carrying Ethan's baby, Dillon doesn't know what to make of this news, and Tessa is convinced that Dillon is actually Ethan but just assuming the identity of his brother to avoid her.
Of course, this leads to a tumultuous beginning, but little by little the pair begins to uncover one incredible suspensefilled web.
All the while, as the credibility and goodwill of the other begins to become undeniable, the couple begins a journey towards finding out the truth and determining whether their fate includes a HEA.


The secondary story, is actually one that is more directly carried over from the prior books and involves Sheriff Frank Curry, his exwife Pam, and his new love interest, Nettie Benton.
Sheriff Curry inadvertently finds himself on the wrong side of the law and Frank and Nettie will be racing against the clock to prove his innocence all the while testing their romantic resolve for one another.


Rounding out the action and suspense filled plot is Graham Winton's narration, Mr. Winton is a natural to perform this romantic western, Producing an authentic and appropriate tone setting accent for this Montana based romance, Mr, Winton does a great job of bringing both Dillon and Frank to life, While his female characters are a little less gender authentic, he also produces a sufficiently nuanced pitch for these characters to allow for easy differentiation between the female and male cast.


The one area where I had a little more trouble was in telling apart the characters of a similar age and gender.
For example, there are a few scenes where there is another male character of the same age as Dillon, and I had more difficulty distinguishing between the two characters.
However, this was only a minor detraction, and Mr, Winton's attention to the scene being enacted and general tone of the characters leads to an overall slightly above average performance.


All in all, if you enjoy a good romantic suspense titleespecially with a smalltown Western feelthen I recommend that you give the Beartooth Montana Series a try.
Moreover, for those of you that are already enjoying this series, then I highly recommend Atonement,

Source: copy provided in exchange for an honest review, B. J. Daniels has such an amazing way to tell a story and this is just one example, I simply loved this book as both a romance story and a mystery, Dillon Lawson was the Undersheriff in Beartooth, Montana and had buried his identical twin brother a year ago but did he When Tessa Winters came to town with hate in her eyes for the guy who stole money from her and left her carrying his child.
She had tracked Ethan down to this small town and finally located him on his range but when she stormed into his life, he was not who she thought he was.
Apparently Ethan had not told anyone that he was a twin and it took some convincing on Dillon's part to explain why he was not Ethan.
These two worked together to try and find his brother when Dillon realized that Ethan could not have died a year ago when Tessa was eight months pregnant.
This is a great love story and a good mystery and has a wonderful ending, Atonement is another riveting story filled with danger and romance, Set in Beartooth, Montana some of the story is a carryover from the previous books and some is new to Atonement.
If you have followed the series you wont be surprised at the level of tension B, J. Daniel infused into the story, If this is your first Beartooth, Montana story you are in for a treat,

Atonement sees the end to one mystery, At the end of the last book no one knew what had happened to Pam and Frank and Nettie were left hanging.
That mystery is solved in Anonement, A new mystery is introduced and a new couple work to survive and find a HEA, Dillion Lawson was a side character in previous books but takes center stage in Atonement, Now he and Tessa Winters are working to find Dillions twin, Ethan and remove the danger Ethan put them both in.


I could not put Atonement down and read it all in one day, Now I have to wait for the next book by Daniels,
