Page turner.  I couldn't put it down.  This is actually the second book by this author that I have reviewed.
I enjoyed this story straight from the beginning.

The third book in the series jumped right into the story of Bailey and Gage.  And started with gunshots as Bailey tried to caution Gage from coming onto 'her' land.  Gage wants to 'talk' Bailey isn't interested in talk.  She wants to be left alone.  

Their story takes twists and turns as Gage is threatened by an unknown enemy that he originally assumes is Bailey.  And then Gage's mommy comes to town and the fireworks really start.  

I thoroughly enjoyed this installment in the series.

My horizons have been broadened as I'm really not much of a fan of  Historical Romances but the author has won me over.

I was impressed with the authors ability to share faith without being overly 'pushly'.  The trials and hardships that each of the two main characters faced in their pasts bore heavily on their faith.  Bailey's story and her own struggle with forgiveness was told in a way that was deeply moving to me.   While including humor
along with the story line the author does a fantastic job of weaving humor, romance and faith together into a believeable story.

I would recommend this book to any age.  

I normally would provide the info. from the back cover of the book but in this case I think it gives away a little too much about the story.

I found a few reviews and want to share a few thoughts from other reviews.  The following reviews can be found on Good Reads

. . . She is incredibly talented at creating characters that are flawed and lovable and frustrating and endearing! I love all of the humor and faith she infuses into her stories. She pulls me right into the historical setting and I’m not content until I find out what exactly happens to the main characters.

. . .This was the first book I have read by Mary Connealy. I LOVED IT! I had a few of her other books I had gotten on Amazon and just hadn't gotten around to reading yet. I didn't really know what to expect from her. But I was impressed! She has great detail and really draws you into the story. The only disappointment I had was that this was book three in the series and I had not read books one and two. It can be a stand-alone book, I was not at all lost.


This book can be found at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and at Christian Book Dot Com
