What can make a book special? Lots of things for me. Good research skillfully woven into historical fiction, detailed biography, words that transport me from where I am into the story the book tells. Websites that sell books seem to operate on the premise they know what I like - they're always offering up recommendations for my reading pleasure. Generally, their selections do appeal to me. But now and then I step over the line to read something completely different from my list of "already read" books. Big Horn Storm is one such book. It's an adventure romance set in the Big Horn Mountains. I knew I was hooked when I had to read past midnight one night. Today I have my ereader at the ready so I don't waste a minute of free time not reading. A couple of times I've had to put the book away because I was so tensed up by the reality of the adventure. Had to stop and remind myself - it's fiction! It's imaginary! Calm down! Don't you love it when an author grabs you that way? Good show, Kim McMahill!

Where's Paul Revere when you need him?
In this case, it's not 'the British are coming', but, rather, 'the Iranians have landed'. On Canadian soil. And they've commandeered military aircraft, with their sights set on destroying the US.
All Niki wanted was some down time with her grandfather in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. She never dreamed her 'home' could be affected by the brewing military crisis. With the possibility of being forced to choose between saving a life and taking another, Niki wonders, if enough were at stake, could she pull the trigger, even if it earned her top priority on the enemy's 'to get revenge on' list?
Big Horn Storm, a novel by Kim McMahill, will leave you breathless and on-the-edge-of-your-seat as Niki, Deuce, her 'crazy' horse, Storm, and a handful of other vital characters face the biggest challenge of their lives: to stay alive until -- maybe -- help arrives.
