by Freya Barker 
Release Date: February 17th 2025 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Since taking over the veterinary clinic in Libby, Montana last year, Janey Richards has been burning the candle at both ends. She’s grateful she is busy, but there has barely been any time to build a life outside of work. To help pay down her debt faster, she agrees to take on responsibility for the livestock at Libby’s annual rodeo, but perhaps she should’ve thought twice about the added stress. Although, her personal life is definitely looking up.  

JD Watike never thought he’d end up following in his father’s footsteps, but he’s found his stride these past six years as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team. He enjoys the simplicity of small-town living, which has only gotten more interesting since Doc Richards appeared on the scene. Spending most of the past year patiently observing from a distance, the time feels right for him to make his move. Or at least to clear up some misunderstandings. 

The opportunity presents itself sooner than expected, when the pretty veterinarian stumbles onto some serious criminal activity at the Libby Roundup, and a young woman disappears from the grounds, he has plenty of cause to stay glued to her side.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HIGH DENSITY (High Mountain Trackers: HMT 2G, #3) . . .  Danger at the Rodeo: A Gritty, Slow-Burn Trackers Romance!

Freya Barker once again immerses us in the world of the High Mountain Trackers with HIGH DENSITY, a stellar addition to the HMT 2G series! As a huge fan of this series, getting back to Libby, Montana, and these protective heroes was a thrill.

This story focuses on the incredibly dedicated vet, Janey Richards. She's been "burning the candle at both ends" since taking over the clinic, but her dedication lands her right in the middle of a high-stakes investigation. She takes on the livestock at the Libby's annual rodeo, and in doing so, stumbles onto serious criminal activity, leading to a woman's disappearance. The added stress is immediate, and the danger is palpable!

Enter JD Watike, a member of the High Mountain Trackers team. JD has spent the better part of the last year patiently observing the pretty veterinarian from a distance. The time is finally right for him to make his move, and Janey's accidental involvement with the criminal element gives him the perfect, compelling reason to stay glued to her side.

This is classic Freya Barker: a gritty, suspenseful plot blended with a satisfying slow-burn romance. The protective alpha and the busy, resilient heroine must navigate their complicated feelings while evading real danger. If you love a hero who knows what he wants and a heroine who needs protection more than she thinks, this romantic suspense is a HIGH-IMPACT must-read!

USA Today bestselling author Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories. With forty-plus books already published, she continues to create characters who are perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy. Recipient of the ReadFREE.ly 2019 Best Book We've Read All Year Award for "Covering Ollie, the 2015 RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for Best First Book, “Slim To None”, Finalist for the 2017 Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, and Finalist for the 2020 Kindle Book Award with “When Hope Ends”, Freya spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!

READ-2-REVEIW - CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE - HIGH INTENSITY (High Mountain Trackers: HMT 2G, #2) by Freya Barker

 High Intensity

High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #2 
by Freya Barker
Release Date: November 4th 2024  
Genre: Romantic Suspense

 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HIGH INTENSITY (High Mountain Trackers: HMT 2G, #2) . . . Avalanche of Emotion: A Gritty Rescue and Undeniable Attraction!

HIGH INTENSITY is an absolute powerhouse of romantic suspense that reminds you exactly why Freya Barker's High Mountain Trackers world is so addictive. This second installment of the HMT 2G series is packed with high-stakes action, deep emotional healing, and an undeniable attraction that forces two broken people to choose a future.

Dog trainer and handler Jillian Lederman moves her life—and her pack of amazing dogs—to Libby, Montana, desperate for a fresh start after years of keeping her wounds raw. She's focused on her new home and her work, trying to leave her painful past behind, but the mountains have a way of forcing people together.

That unavoidable connection comes in the form of former FBI agent Lucas "Wolff" Wolff. Wolff, now a member of the HMT team, has been doing his best to avoid the captivating "bold and ballsy redhead," but that becomes an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sends them both on the trail of a missing eleven-year-old girl.

The intensity level is through the roof as Jillian and Wolff, with the help of her specially trained dogs, track the young survivor while enemies lurk in the snow. They have a history from a previous case, but working side-by-side to save a child ignites an unstoppable chemistry. As the danger closes in and Jillian's life is put on the line, Wolff's protective instinct goes into overdrive, proving he's ready to tear down his carefully constructed walls for the woman who brings light and healing into his world.

This is a phenomenal read about found family, the fight for self-acceptance, and the powerful love that can bloom when two wounded warriors finally stop being stuck in their solitary lives. It's an intense, moving, and thrilling addition to the series!

READ-2-REVIEW - CONTEMPORARY - HIGH FREQUENCY (HMT 2G, #1) by Freya Barker

High Frequency
HMT 2G, #1
by Freya Barker 
Release Date: August 5th 2024 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

When the rug is pulled from under Detective Sloane Eckhart, she leaves the Billings PD and returns to Libby, Montana.

Eight years ago she left with her pride and the promise of a future, but her heart was broken. On her return, there is no pride left, no prospects to speak of, but at least her heart is safely secured in the back seat.

Still, a bit of groveling, a kind offer of help, and a brand-new job with the sheriff’s office quickly gets her back on her feet.

High Meadow will always be home to Dan Blakely. Working with horses, being part of the HMT search and rescue team, and now building his own home right next door checks all his boxes. Only one thing is missing, but that dream walked out the door a long time ago.

Still, his life is good, steady…and perhaps a little boring.

That quickly changes when the rescue of a young, teenage girl, places the new sheriff’s detective squarely in his path. He’s not bored now, doing his best to keep her safe, even as their past holds them back while they fight for a future.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HIGH FREQUENCY (HMT 2G, #1) . . . Second Chances and High Stakes: The Next Generation of Trackers Delivers!

"A new generation of High Mountain Trackers (HMT) have arrived on the scene. You will not be disappointed." Freya Barker plunges us back into the stunning mountains of Montana that we fell in love with in the original series, delivering a powerful mix of intensity, mystery, suspense, and drama! This series return with the "2G" generation is everything a fan could hope for.

We meet Detective Sloane Eckhart, who returns to Libby, Montana, with nothing left but the pieces of her broken career and heart. Eight years ago, she walked away with her pride, but now, all that's left is the burden of her past. Her return is anything but simple, especially when she crosses paths with the one man she couldn't forget.

Dan Blakely has always considered High Meadow home. Dan happens to be one of those characters we meet back in the first book of the HMT and appeared in a few others, but this time he has his own compelling story. He is building a steady life, though perhaps a little boring, until the rescue of a young, teenage girl places the new sheriff’s detective squarely in his path.

The chemistry between Sloane and Dan is electric and complicated. Their past holds them back, but as they are forced together to navigate the escalating danger, they fight fiercely for a future. Freya Barker makes adult romance with adult content—we get thrilling suspense and intensity, deep family bonds, and a love that feels earned. Come see what the second generation of the HMT has to offer in this unforgettable second-chance story!
