Juliet’s Journey to Love (Great Smoky Mountain Getaways Book 1) by Elsie Davis – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Juliet’s Journey to Love by Elsie Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Juliet’s escape to the Great Smokey Mountains isn’t at all what she planned. She isn’t sure about her plans for her life, so she and two other women go on a hike of the Appalachian Trail. She leads her group through the trail so that they may get closer to nature and grow closer to God, but Juliet becomes ill a few days before the hike is due to end. Her friends must call for help and when said help arrives they aren’t sure what to make of their grizzly bear rescuer Jake. Jake doesn’t want them around. He doesn’t want anyone around. He helps Juliet but then in turn he falls ill. Not at all what was planned in deed! As a nurse, now it’s Juliet’s turn to help grizzly Jake. She is determined to help Jake weather he wants her to or not. She accepts a part time job to be closer to him and pushes him in ways that makes him want to run. When the truth comes out about some of her methods things get a bit murky. Can they get past their pasts and issues? Can they get over some fundamental beliefs and come to an understanding? Juliet has a life back home that waits for her, as she wades through waves of uncertainty and trust issues. Will she come to realize God’s purpose for her life or will her whole trip be a waste of time? Who knew that getting sick would upend her and Jake’s lives completely? Such a great book. Not my typical read, but glad I took a chance on it. Read to find out more about these two. I personally can’t wait to read the others in the set!
