A wonderful tale of overcoming loss and finding a second chance at love. Filled with beautiful scenery and characters who pull at your heartstrings, Glory Falls is a book that readers of contemporary romance will love. What a fabulous ending to the Madison River series. Readers will not want to say goodbye to these characters.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher and was not required to leave a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Thomas Beck is a hero. Well, at least according to those who knew him. This man was a steady presence in both of the previous Madison River romances. He was the one who looked out for his friends and fought for the underdog. Yet something seemed to be lacking in his life - a certain spark. That person is Blue.
Cecilia "Blue" was his childhood best friend. She always thought that maybe someday they could be more. But the timing seemed to be off. And now that she is nearing the end of her 20's, there does not seem to be much hope. After all, she is still struggling from the weight of the loss of her daughter and a very public divorce. This impacted her career as well since she could not seem to find the words to keep writing more stories. Screenwriting seems impossible.
Then she is asked to write the story of her once best friend, Thomas. He is the one that continues to rescue others. He throws himself into impossible situations at the cost of his own safety. His willingness to sacrifice literally saves lives. She wonders what his motivation is.
This is a story about second chances. And about how to not hold ourselves responsible for situations that are beyond our control. And the realization that even though situations are difficult, God is still with us in the land of the living. Loved how that point was emphasized!
Memories of carefree childhood despite challenging circumstances. A community of people who support each other through both the sweet and struggling times. Long awaited romance. This was such a wonderful book - I could not stop reading it! (#BeckandBlue forever!) Janine Rosche knows how to tell a wonderful story. I will definitely continue to prioritize reading her books.
By the way, the author does provide enough background details that one could read it as a stand alone title, but I would read the other two books in the series first. (The prequel novella is also fun, but the characters do not really overlap very much.) Seeing Thomas finally get to tell his story is sweeter if one has come to know him a little bit in the other books. While the epilogue telling about how life had changed for the main characters a few years later helped the conclusion of the series to not seem so sudden, I was definitely still sad to have to "leave" Madison River.
I was provided a copy of this book from the author and publisher. I wanted to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Glory Falls is the third book in the Madison River series. The series is located in West Yellowstone, Montana, a place that Janine makes you want to visit more with every book.

All three books are second chance romances. In this story, there is the Thomas Beck, the strong silent hero, friends since childhood with Cecelia (Blue) Walker who has returned to West Yellowstone after losing her husband to another woman. She and her husband had previously lost a child to the Madison River.

It had always seemed that Thomas and Blue would end up together. Their ties were strong, but Hollywood beckoned Blue and her career as a screenwriter flourished. Now back in West Yellowstone and single, Blue is reevaluating her life. I love that the characters from the two previous books are heavily involved in this story.

It is a wonderful story of forgiveness and reconciliation. Janine has crafted a great conclusion to the series. I recommend all three books to anyone who enjoys reading contemporary romance in a picturesque setting.
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.

Glory Falls by Janine Rosche is the 3rd book in her Madison River Romance series. The story begins in the past, when young Cecilia (Blue) Walker played make believe movies with her friend, Thomas Beck, and his sister Cassie. Blue and Thomas were inseparable, as Blue loved creating fake screen plays. She also had her wealthy parents allow her to bring both Thomas and Cassie to dinners, since the Beck household was constant arguing between their parents. Thomas always had a crush on Blue, though she looked at him like a friend, and would leave Madison River annually for the winter with her parents.

Years later, Blue, a successful screenwriter, returns to Madison River, to see all her old friends, and try and restore her faith and career. Blue is coming off a divorce from her actor husband, as their marriage fell apart at the accidental death of their little girl, not to mention his philandering.
Thomas was now a fire fighter for Madison River, and his reputation was legendary, as he always risked his life to save others. Madison River residents look at Thomas like a hero, despite his boss threatening to fire him, if he continues to disobey and take dangerous chances. Thomas can’t help himself, and continues to put his life at risk.

When Blue revisits her friends, she learns about Thomas heroics, and also later learns he considers himself one reason for her daughter’s death, even though there was no way to save her. Blue is approached by a producer friend from town to write a screen play about their legendary hero, especially with many people all willing to tell their stories of Thomas helping them. Blue convinces Thomas to work together, despite his unhappiness to out there for everyone to see.

What follows is a slow built romance, between a couple that was destined to be together, and a wonderful cast of characters that were part of their Madison River family and friends. Blue’s ex is trying to get her back, and goes out of his way to make Thomas look bad, causing the screen play to be paused, and Blue wondering if those rumors of Thomas responsible for her daughter’s death. There are a few secrets that come to light, and with the help of those wonderful friends, the truth will be revealed. I did like Blue and Thomas together, and hated her ex. Glory Falls was a wonderful heartwarming story line that pulled on many different emotions; love, tragedy, manipulation, friendships/family and happiness. Glory Falls was well written by Janine Rosche. I suggest you read this book.
