Madison River Romance #3
Glory Falls
Two people scarred by past trauma have a chance to write a new chapter in their lives, overcome loss, and find love in the third entry in the Madison River Romance series.
Screenwriter Cecilia "Blue" Walker is victim to life's worst plot twists. Having lost her daughter to the depths of the Madison River and her husband to the arms of another woman, she finds herself yearning for something to restore her brittle faith and once-vibrant career.
Hope arrives in the form of her childhood friend, Thomas Beck, a firefighter with a legacy of larger-than-life rescues who doesn't see himself as a hero. Haunted by his past, Thomas only agrees to a movie adaptation of his story if Blue, his longtime crush, is the screenwriter.
However, as Blue and Thomas work together to bring his heroism to the big screen, the glitz and glamour of Hollywood threaten to shed light on secrets that could tear their fragile relationship and their lives apart.

"We're fallen people - even the best of us. Our job is to try and then do everything we can to make things right when we fail."
I can't believe this is my first Janine Rosche book. When I initially heard all the buzz about her books last year, I hadn't had the bandwidth to invest in a new author but I'm so glad that I did now. Filled with gut-wrenching raw emotions, lovable yet broken and hurting characters, and tangible faith lessons, the story is well-crafted and perfect for those who love contemporary romance.
The lifelong friendship between Blue and Thomas is a treasure and I really enjoyed all the flashbacks and their nostalgic reminiscence. Their backstories, especially what happened while their friendship drifted apart, emerge slowly at just the right times in the plot to give a complete picture of who Blue and Thomas are now and what motivates them. There is heart-wrecking grief as Blue struggles with the loss of her child and marriage and as she swims in a sea of insecurity. Thomas' grief, guilt and fear are equally heart-breaking and truly shows what kind of a hero he is. Blue and Thomas are both very complex characters and I loved getting to know them one layer at a time. And Thomas! He is the epitome of a swoony hero - so humble, dependable, loyal, noble, and sacrificial. This book has all the feels as well as redemption, forgiveness, and a happily-ever-after.
If you enjoy contemporary romance, this book is a must-read for 2021!

Glory Falls is a wonderful conclusion to an amazing series! I can gush on and on about this story but I fear you’d lose interest after my twenty-paragraph spiel on how swoony Thomas is. So I’ll stick to my main fangirl points. Well, I’ll give it my best effort. One thing I love about this author’s writing is that she’s not afraid to delve into delicate topics. In this case, the heroine, Blue Walker, copes with child loss. While this subject is a heavy one, its couched in lighter scenes and blissful moments that encourage the reader to both process the pain as well as breathe in the healing right along with the heroine. The approach was beautiful and necessary.
Thomas time! We get glimpses of the hero, Thomas Beck, in the first two books in this series, but in Glory Falls, he takes center stage. Though if you read this story, you will discover Thomas is NOT a “center stage” kinda guy. He shies from the spotlight and would rather aim the focus on anyone but himself. But with his selfless attitude, drive to do what’s right, and penchant to get into dangerous situations, the guy can’t help but attract attention. He’s the strong silent type with a loyal heart. Basically everything I love in a hero! Also I gotta say that this story features one of my FAVORITE tropes - the best friends to more!
Blue Walker has been through tragedy after tragedy and my heart tore for her from the very first chapter. I wanted her to find happiness beyond her own guilt and feelings of inadequacy. I adored all the heroines in this series, but I could relate the most to Blue. I was nodding my head while reading her internal struggles and fears. Make sure you have tissues close, because her “awakening” moment made me tear up! Which leads me to my next gushing point - THE EMOTIONS!
Seriously, my emotions were all over the place with this story! One minute I’m snort-laughing and the very next I’m wistfully sighing. Hello, Swoony Thomas kissing scene!!!! Umm yeah, where was I? Oh, and I need to mention all the fabulous nods to classic movies! The Singing in the Rain reenactment! George Bailey references! Shout outs to It Happened One Night. Seriously, my vintage-film-loving heart was elated!
Last thing, I promise. The cast of characters! The author had written this series in such a way that I felt I was right there with them at Ollie’s. Scrunching my nose at Robbie and Keira’s excessive PDA. Laughing at Ryann’s quips. Smiling at the sibling banter. I’m really going to miss this bunch!
But I have total trust in this author’s amazing ability to introduce me to a new crew in her next series that I am convinced I’ll adore just as much!

This beautiful story deserves more than 5 stars!
Rosche has described some beautiful scenery and makes me want to visit.
Y'all I absolutely loved this story! Contemporary isn't my norm but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
I liked how Rosche has grabbed my attention from the beginning. You'll not want to put the book down until you are finished.
I think what I loved most was how God was at work in these characters' lives.
Everyone has past mistakes or scars from their pasts. Everyone deserves 2nd chances.
I didn't want to say goodbye to Thomas and (Cecelia) Blue.
I will be thinking about these characters for a long time to come.
I do recommend that you read the other two books first.
I recommend this book and the previous ones in this series.

Glory Falls is the conclusion to the Madison River Romance series. And wow! I seriously got grumpy that I actually had to put it down for one night to sleep and during the day to do all the things. Blue and Thomas will take you on a roller coaster ride until the very end. Goodness, sometimes I wanted to sit Thomas down and give him a talking to, and then at other times, I’d be yelling, “Kiss the girl!”
The frog thing (in the prologue) was genius!
Blue searches for a new beginning and healing from the loss of her daughter and the disintegration of her marriage. Her childhood friend, Thomas is going through his own struggles over the same traumatic event, but Thomas’s struggles go far deeper. I love how the author brought all of these issues to a satisfying conclusion with unexpected twists that had me grinning from ear to ear. Janine Rosche is an author to watch. Her books are not fluffy, superficial romances. They are deep, meaningful and robust.
I can’t wait to read what’s next in her authorly repertoire.
Do yourself a favor and read the Madison River Series!

This was the perfect ending to the Madison River Romance series! I have been a fan of Thomas the whole time. He and Blue were so perfect for each other! I’m so happy that they had their happily ever after. I loved the way that this ended!

What a lovely story of redemption, forgiveness and overcoming loss. This is book three in the Madison River series and I have to say that although I had not issue reading this as a stand alone novel I do want to read the first two so I get to know the characters a little better. This story focuses on Thomas and Blue and I was all for it!! Right from the start you meet them in the cutest and heart warming of scenes as they are both children and you right away are pulled at the heartstrings and are rooting for Thomas and Blue.
Right away we meet Thomas who comes from a background in which his parents are less then ideal. He grows up way too soon and loses his best friend in the process as Blue goes off to college, marries and realizes her dreams of becoming a movie screenwriter. However she returns home grief stricken not only is she carrying the pain of her losing her baby but also losing her husband to a divorce and her life in California as a screenwriter. She comes home to get away from it all but in the process re-establishes her friendships.
The romance aspect of this story is at times swoon worthy! Thomas is the perfect guy, you cannot help but fall in love with him. He is a little slow when it comes to the romance department but its understandable as he doesn't want to lose the most important person in his life which is Blue. Seriously at times its comical when his friends tease him about it.
Now both of them have past hurts and things that they need to deal with which makes these characters very relatable. It makes the story so emotional when they finally just lay it all down and make amends with God and fully start relying on Him. I won't ruin the story for you but boy there are definitely some characters (one in particular that you just want to slap over the head!) Trust me you will know who I am talking about as soon as you read it!
Overall I thought this story was a good one! It was my first by this author but definitely won't be my last! I have already added her to my TBR authors list!

"In every story you've told me about your childhood Blue Walker was the main character and catalyst all rolled into one. If there was any chance that you could help her reclaim her life, her happiness, would you do it?"
Thomas Beck is asked this by a co-worker that he has been dating and once again, he is reminded of just what Cecilia "Blue" Walker has meant to him his entire life. Glory Falls is a story of childhood friendship, sweet romance, immense sorrow, and the joy in second chances. I loved Thomas's deep faith and his Christian witness and the fact that even though he'd been hailed as a hometown hero, he only wanted to be a hero to the person who had made him kiss a frog and secretly carried cookies and milk to him and his sister when they didn't have them in their own home. Blue appeared to be competent and fearless but she was haunted by the dreams of her baby girl who had drowned in the Madison River two years earlier. Is the chance to write a screenplay of Thomas's heroic actions the beginning of Blue's healing? How will her return to Glory Falls affect Thomas and the guilt and regrets from his own past?
Janine Rosche has written a lovely story that tugs at your heart but never breaks it! It is, instead, a heartwarming account of hope, forgiveness, and the chance to begin again. Glory Falls makes you believe in God, love, and second chances and I recommend it to all who enjoy contemporary Christian romance.

Wow! First of all, if you haven’t read the two books in the series before this one, you can still enjoy Glory Falls. However, I highly recommend that you read the entire series simply because it is so good!
I enjoyed the first two books in the Madison River Romance series, but Glory Falls is by far my absolute favorite of the three novels! The connection between Blue and Thomas was amazing, yet it didn’t mean that things just fell into place for them. There was a lot of trauma in both of their backstories, making their second chance at love even more special.
I loved seeing Thomas open up to Blue and begin to show those emotions that he always kept tucked away. And I loved seeing how Blue was just a normal girl away from all of the trappings of Hollywood.
This story is not for the faint of heart, however, and there are events in this book, especially in flashbacks and dreams that could trigger some people. These things are related to the drowning death of a child. The author handled everything so well and captured the emotions of these characters in an amazingly convincing way. This book tugged on my heart yet made me feel uplifted and hopeful when I turned the final page.

Tall, dark, and handsome heroes tend to steal the spotlight but give me a strong, silent type any day (technically, I have one every day because that descriptor fits my husband to a tee)! The thing about strong, silent heroes is that their humor, depth, compassion, etc., is constantly surprising the blessed few who make it past their stoic walls.
As one of these coveted strong, silent heroes, Thomas is also an excellent candidate for a friends-to-more romance (you can trust me on that one, I also have personal experience in that particular arena). I love the way he truly observes people and serves them all in big and small ways. Thomas is a giver, protector, and servant to his core. Blue’s story broke my mama-heart time and again. Yet page after page, I couldn’t tear my eyes from her grief in anticipation of her first step towards healing.
Rosche unapologetically directs her characters and readers to the One true source of comfort, joy, and love. Her vivid descriptions of the scenic Madison River Valley inspired me to add it to the top of my “places to visit” list. This heartfelt story of second chances is going on my keeper shelf and I highly recommend it!

Rosche is the master of the written word. She can take two individuals, one of which has been existing on the fringe of her previous novels and weave his story so deep into your heart, you won’t be able to let go.
Thomas, currently a firefighter in West Yellowstone, is an everyday hero. For the past 2 years he’s been disregarding his own life for the sake of others. The one person he has always loved, Blue, couldn’t be more untouchable than she was back during his childhood. She literally saved him from the trauma of his family, and he has loved her ever since.
With the tragedy of loosing her two year old daughter to the Madison River only a couple years earlier, and the loss of a marriage with an unfaithful movie star husband, Blue is back in her summer home of West Yellowstone, Montana. Next door neighbor, childhood friend and unrequited love, Thomas is still too far from her reach, despite being within touching distance. As she tries to tackle the grief and loss of her child, she tries to connect with her once best-friend, despite the distance that seems ever present.
One thing is for sure, both Thomas and Blue are suffering some major PTSD - for different reasons. I was really glad that this story highlighted the long term effects of either not fully understanding truth, or never facing trauma will do to a person. Ignoring the pain or trying to conceal it with activities that alleviate guilt will never bring true healing. This story brought these characters full circle, with just the right amount of drama, and edge of your seat action. Some scenes brought smiles to my face, as I appreciated the genuine connections the group of friends in West Yellowstone brought to life.
Glory Falls will be appreciated by the romance reader looking for depth in the characters, and a story full of heart.

Oh my word, what a gorgeously written conclusion to the Madison River Romance series! I am a forever fan of Janine Rosche's books, I adore everything she writes! I was swept away and enthralled from page one of Glory Falls and I hated to put it down (I read it in about 24 hours!) Blue and Thomas were excellent main characters (I've been looking forward to reading Thomas's story since first meeting him in This Wandering Heart, and what a heart-melting hero he is, I loved him so much, and his story was everything I dreamed it would be and so much more!) I think Shane and Thomas are now tied for my favorite hero of the series (don't feel left out, Robbie, I love you too!) I am so grateful that I don't have to choose just one favorite hero! I also adored Thomas's yellow lab, Molly, she never failed to make me smile! This book brought me such joy from beginning to end, I simply couldn't contain my grin! I adored every second of this book, and there is not a single thing about Glory Falls that I didn't absolutely love, it's one of my favorite reads of 2021 and I most highly recommend the entire series! I cannot wait for this author's next book, and incidentally I just got the notification that my Netgalley request for Aspen Crossroads was approved, now comes the age old struggle, do I give in to the temptation and dive in ASAP or make myself wait until closer to release date so I'll have less time to have to wait for the one that comes after it? #booknerdproblems

I am sad to see this series end as I’ve enjoyed getting cameos from the first two books and have fallen in love with this small town of West Yellowstone. But the third books in a series are always my favorite when the hero or heroine have appeared all along. We finally get the full Thomas story in this friends-to-more romance, and it does not disappoint! Grief and guilt meet God’s heart for redemption and freedom. What a powerful story! Five stars!

This is the first book I have read by Janine Rosche, and this being book three in this series, I didn’t get to read the first two books. I found this ok for a stand alone, though it may have been a big more interesting reading them in order. Screenwriter Blue Walker is trying to regroup and start her life again after loosing her daughter in a tragic accident plus her husband ran off with another women, so life has been tough for her. Her childhood friend and firefighter Thomas Beck might just be the person who can help her.
This turns out to be a sweet romance, but it certainly didn’t come so easy. With both Thomas and Blue being so deeply flawed, they both needed much help. I really enjoyed this story. The characters and plot flows well, and I enjoyed watching the characters develop throughout the story. There were twists and turns that kept my attention as well.. The author does a very nice job of weaving everything together in the end to make an ending everyone would enjoy. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

This is one beautiful tale. I loved Blue and Thomas's story from the start and really it was the opening lines that pulled me into the story.
I've read the authors previous works and enjoyed them so I was definitely looking forward to this one.
Both Blue and Thomas have suffered through loss and hardship in their lives that they want to start afresh and heal.
It was wonderful to see them reconnect and watch their romance blossom throughout the story.
Janine Rosche is fast becoming a must read author for me.

Blue and Thomas's story is one that is a satisfying conclusion to the Madison River Romance series, but you will not want to say goodbye to these characters! From the first page, Rosche hooks you and creates a heartfelt connection to the relationship between her protagonists. This is a multi-layered story with topics such as trauma, abuse and the loss of a child, so I would not call it a fluffy romance.
I loved the fact that I was transported again to the amazing state of Montana with a setting so lovely you feel like you're there! Add in characters who were both haunted and ready to overcome past traumas, and you've got a winner of a novel. (It was also great to see Thomas finally find love!)
Rosche has a style that is easily relatable and filled with hope. She doesn't glaze over tough topics, yet meets them head on with grace, humor and second chances. This is the third book of hers that I have read, and my new goal is to seek out her prior work.

I’ve loved Janine Rosche’s Madison River Romance series set in the beautiful Madison River area of Montana—one of my favorite places. Glory Falls is the third and final book in the series, and what a fantastic story it is! The main characters, Thomas Beck and Cecelia “Blue” Walker are realistically-flawed, hurting, and so relatable that it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with them. Best friends since they were preschoolers, they had a lot of background together, and it was such fun for them to have their second chance and to see their relationship grow. I enjoyed revisiting some of the characters from the first two books and catching up on their lives.
This beautifully written, heart-wrenching story will take you on a journey of forgiveness, healing, and hope. Although it is part of a series, it can be read alone. I’m looking forward to more stories from this talented author. 4.5 stars

Wow!! I am in love with Glory Falls!! This is not your typical contemporary romance, which was so refreshing to me, because I am getting tired of that same, old 'everything is perfect when you fall in love' troupe. I've been ready for some real and Glory Falls brings the real.
Glory Falls takes you into the dark, the deep, the messy and dirty, which we all can agree is true to life, especially right now. Blue Walker is a dreamer that has lived her life like it's a movie, dreaming of one day being a screenwriter like her father. I loved this so much because when I was growing up I too imagined that my life was a movie playing, and there was always someone watching, but my dream was more to be the star in the movie and not necessarily write the narrative.
From the onset, you can feel the heart emanating from this book. You can tell the author poured a bit of her soul into this novel, and it is truly breathtaking. I was awe-struck by the heartbreak that Blue has had to endure in her short life. I cannot even begin to imagine going through what she's been through, but thank goodness she has her lifelong best friend, Thomas Beck to help balance her, and help her through this difficult time. Sadly, Thomas is going through his own issues as well, that are also very dark and deep.
The inner dialogue of both Blue and Thomas has so much depth, leaving no room for interpretation. It is clear what they both are struggling with, and it's this rawness and vulnerability that made me fall in love with both of these characters.
Thomas is the hero that never wants to be in the spotlight, yet he agrees to let Blue write a screenplay about his life. What she doesn't know is that he is burdened with a secret that he can't let go of, no matter how many lives he saves and good deeds he does. I wanted to reach through the pages, grab Thomas, squeeze him as hard as I could, and let him know it's ok to forgive himself, and tell him to let it go. He beat himself raw through this whole novel and it was truly heartbreaking to witness, especially since this man has one of the biggest and selfless hearts I have ever seen.
There are moments in Glory Falls when I felt tears threatening to surface, and moments when my heart was beating wildly as I quickly read what was going to happen next, the suspense of the moment so very real. I devoured this novel, hating every moment I had to put it down. This is the first book that I've read in the Madison River series, but you better believe I'm going to go back and read the first two books. If they are anything like Glory Falls I know I am in for a treat!
It's been awhile since a book has hit me this hard, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! It is a book that truly touched my soul, and is my first MUST READ of 2021.

When I start one of Janine Roasche's book I just need to finish it! I love how she builds tension and has her characters go through true to life stuff and come out in the end.
Really enjoyed this one, yet I think I got a little protective of Thomas so I was a bit mad at Blue at one point (I won't give spoilers). Yet still a very absorbing, entertaining romance.

This was my favorite of the Madison River series. Such deep themes woven into a beautiful love story. Highly recommend for Christian Fiction Romance fans.

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 an absolute delight from cover to cover. Although the third book in the Madison River Romance Series and tied into the other books in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. This story is about dealing with a bit of a faith crises due to a tragic accident and death of a child. It’s about finding a way to cope with life without forgetting the child. This story also strongly focuses on rekindling and reconnecting with a childhood friend and the beautiful romance that blossoms. Readers will easily relate to the characters in this story and will immediately fall in love with them. This is a beautiful and emotional story that will inspire readers long after the last page is turned.

February 4, 2021Take a trip to Madison River, Montana for another endearing romance in Glory Falls!
So far, Janine Rosche has proven a knack for bringing the stories of broken, haunted people to life with humor, charm, and a whole lot of emotion—and this story that unfolds between Cecelia “Blue” Walker and Thomas Beck offers nothing less. Both Blue and Thomas have heartbreaking pasts, yet as their long-time friendship brings them together for a second chance at love and healing.
Though it never shies away from the tougher aspects of grief, guilt, and more, Glory Falls is never without hope. I definitely recommend it to readers in need of a heartwarming contemporary romance.

I've enjoyed this whole series and the vibrancy of the characters that it has included. So, I was thrilled to read Glory Falls and return to Montana for the story of Blue and Thomas. Some of Blue's best memories from childhood include her family trips to Montana and the friends that she made there, but at the forefront of every memory is her good friend Thomas. When she returns to Montana to heal from the loss of her daughter and marriage, Thomas saves her again with the chance to write the script for the movie based on his heroism.
I loved getting to know Thomas and Blue better! The author does a wonderful job of pulling the reader in with her characters and their stories. This is a wonderful read to pick up and enjoy!

I’ve been following Janine Rosche’s debut series since the first book where we first meet Thomas and in the second books, I wanted to know more about this man, so imagine my delight in discovering Glory Falls grants that wish!!
And let me just say, the wait was worth it. First there’s Thomas. The guy rushes into danger and saves lives but he also saves lives in smaller ways. That’s the true heart of a hero (even when there is a reason behind his motives).
Oh, how my heart hurt for Blue. Her life has hit some painful stretches and Rosche writes her character in such a way that I felt this woman’s pain and suffering—both in the past and the present.
Glory Falls has some hard truths in it. Sometimes things happen in life that we have no explanation for—things like loss and divorce and career failure. Rosche balances out the difficult with moments of humor, the wisdom of friends, and God’s loving grace and healing while giving us an unforgettable romance set alongside the rugged beauty of Montana.
With the Madison River Romance series, Rosche has secured her place among the contemporary romance authors I love to read.

A Good Romance book is a great genre to cuddle up with on a
cold winter day. I did just that when I received this book,
Glory Falls by Janine Rosche.
Cecilia "Blue" Walker is going through a lot in life right now.
Her daughter died in a tragic accident. Her husband left her
for another woman. She is struggling with her faith and her
career as a Screenwriter. She has a lifelong friend, Thomas
Beck, who comes to help her through lifes hurdles. He agrees
to let Blue write a film about his life and his struggles in the past.
Will the re-connection lead to more then a friendship? Will they
be able to help each other in their struggles and lead a happy
life?
I really enjoy books that are a part of a series. I began reading this book,
Glory Falls by Janine Rosche, which is Book 3 in the Madison River
Romance Series. I was a little lost at first, but I all of sudden got
into the story and couldn't stop reading. Janine Rosche has a
wonderful writing style and really captures the readers attention
with some of the twists and turns. I have never read any of
Janine Rosche books before this one, but I definitely am a
new fan now! GREAT BOOK!!

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.

What an enjoyable finale to the Madison River Romance series! I had fun reading about Blue and Thomas and their lifelong friendship turned romance. They both went through a lot to get to a happily ever after, and it made for a story I couldn't put down. Great Read!

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.
