Review:

I wasn't sure what to expect from The Heartbeat of the Bitterroot, but as I started reading I was impressed. I was pulling for Jenna, and intrigued by the conflict and potential romance. The message seemed to be about Jenna finding herself and happiness even though she felt somewhat damaged by her upbringing.

As the story progressed I was somewhat overwhelmed by everything that was going on. The search for her real father, in addition to the disgruntled former employee, the threatening texts and situations, trying to decide where she wanted to be, plus a potential romance felt a bit like a soap opera. I wasn't sure which aspect I really wanted to follow, but all of it together was a bit too much for me.

The Heartbeat of the Bitterroot is a clean story with a good message.
