Michael’s Quest: Mountain Men – Echoes of Thunder Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars (19)
Michael Bradshaw can’t rest until he’s brought his wife’s killer to justice. His only hope to find the murderer is to follow him to his mountain den in the Northern Rockies. Trouble is his children’s caregiver is leaving and Michael can’t leave them until he finds someone else. When a family friend suggest he marry a well-respected woman by proxy, he marries Libby Jamison, a long-time governess, and leaves on his quest before she arrives.
When Libby finds her new husband gone and the children frantic that he is headed into danger, she suspects they are right. Fortunately, Libby is more familiar with the northern territory than Michael is, and she must find him before it’s too late.

Forgive those who have hurt you!
I loved this book about a man whose wife had been murdered 8 months earlier in front of his children. He HAS to go hunt him down in the Northern mountains before it becomes impassable. Therefore, he marries a woman by proxy and leaves before she even arrives! When the children (a girl and a younger boy) continue to be worried about their Dad, she finds out from the daughter, the oldest child, that Daddy had a map in his office. She didn’t feel comfortable snooping around in his office, but when she walked in and saw all the maps hanging on his walls, she quickly realized that he was truly a gifted artist. Then, she saw that where he was headed was a place that her parents had carried her in and out of for years. She knew a lot more about the risks than her husband did. She immediately set out, with the children in tow, to hunt him down and bring him home. This book is actually about forgiveness more than anything else. I recommend this book to everyone. 📕♥️

    I was shocked at the outcome, or should I say very pleasantly surprised. This was one sweet story of healing and forgiveness, mixed with raging emotions and romance.
    The frozen mountains were explained enough to give a glimpse of them as you looked across the lake. I could almost feel the cold breeze.
    I love how one heart was changed at a time, including the children. This was an incredible story that I recommend to all Romance readers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WITH FORGIVENESS COMES HEALING
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    “They have chosen solitude in the rugged wilderness for their own reasons. When devastation rips through their lives, their sorrows are like Echoes of Thunder throughout the mountains.”

    The Mountain Men—Echoes of Thunder is a multi-author series that are clean, historical series revolving around mountain men and the life they chose, and the women who play a vital role in their lives. It is the beauty of the land that can also be harsh and unforgiving. Love and respect are key, as if life and death.

    Michael Bradshaw is a widower—or he was, but he has married Libby by proxy, and she is on her way to Laurel Rapids, Wyoming, to join him and his two children, Becky and Lucas. He is suffering from guilt for the death of his first wife, Ellen, while he and his men were out gathering up the cattle. Would things have been different if he had left a man behind to protect his household? He has consulted a friend, Trapper John, to lead him to the man responsible for Ellen’s death.

    Libby trusts her friend, Hettie Lyons, and after months of writing letters, has agreed to leave Chicago, Illinois, and become wife to Michael, and mother to Becky and Lucas. It is Hetty who insists this be a marriage by proxy, to protect them both. What a shock as her train arrives and she isn’t greeted by Michael or the children, but instead by his foreman, Hank Leavy. Rather than get upset and show it, she instead shows her backbone and grace as she meets her children, and even with the hurt and heartache they are suffering, she starts them on the road to acceptance and healing. Her teaching methods engage the children—Becky is easy, Lucas will need patience and time.

    The story includes the journey of Michael and Trapper John, the trials they face, the near-death situation, and the burning desire to continue. But it is also a strong, determined woman, who knows the mountains better than Michael ever could, because as a child, she’s traveled them, and assisted her father and uncle in mapping them out when they were undocumented. Libby is a force to be reckoned with; she isn’t careless, just meticulous on her journey and with determination to be with her husband, bringing her family back together.

    I enjoyed the story, and how Libby’s faith and her sharing her faith is healing for a family who has suffered loss. It is a reminder of forgiveness, not just of someone who has done wrong, but of forgiveness to heal. The journey includes the various encounters they face and how they handle them. It is life and death danger, with survival skills.

    NOTE: I read this book with my paid subscription to Kindle Unlimited.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A new life out west for Libby.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    They were married by proxy. They met through friends and writing letters. He was a widower and had two children and she had never married. This story is filled with faith, love and adventure. Because she had traveled as a child, she could read maps, make camp and ride horseback. It's a second chance for Michael and a newfound life for Libby. This storyline is a Christian romance that can be enjoyed by anyone.

    Michael has married a woman by proxy so his children will have a mother. Libby married Michael on the recommendation of her employer. She is ready to be a mother and wife. When she arrives and someone else is at the train to meet her she doesn’t know what to think. When Libby realizes Michael has gone to the mountains to find his first wife’s murdered she knows she has to intercept him and help. Of course she has skills and experience in the mountains that he doesn’t know about and she takes the children with her. Elaine Manders weaves a tale of family, faith, love and commitment that will quickly draw you in. You will feel the cold and snow and be waiting on what happens next! Don’t miss it!

    This short story was about an independent woman, who had waited long enough, some might say too long, for the husband of her dreams! But, God's timing is always perfect! She is exactly who the children need, but what about her Proxy husband? Her arrival in town leaves her questioning everything, except God! I loved this story and her trust in God, as well as the family/friends who helped arrange this match! She needs this marriage as much, if not more, than this widower with 2 young kids do! I hope you'll enjoy this tale as much as I did!

    Format: Kindle
    This is a warm your heart story, one spanning loss to redemption, guilt to freedom, unforgiveness to forgiveness, but most of all, a God proving Himself faithful time and again as life unfolds in Laurel Rapids. And let’s not forget the possibility of a second chance at not only love but a hopeful new mother for Becky and Lucas after losing their birth mother in a terrible tragedy. Entertaining, uplifting read!
