IN MY OPINION

Every time I visit Ouray, Colorado and the Stephens family, I’m not ready to leave when the book ends. Mindy Obenhaus does a superb job of showing readers the sights, celebrations, and adventure this small Colorado town has to offer, I’m ready for an in-real-life visit.

In Her Colorado Cowboy, we get an inside look at Abundant Blessings Ranch as well as the development of Noah Stephens’s rodeo school. I enjoyed getting to know the horses and “seeing” Noah in his element as he works with Lily’s son.

Lily Davis is another likable character and a great addition to the town. Raised with and married into Money, she’s as down-to-earth as they come. Her desire to teach her son a lesson without throwing money at the issue speaks well to her character. And her love for both her children is evident in everything she does.

As Lily, Colton, and Piper draw Noah out of this self-imposed shell, something no one has done in twelve years, I was rooting for the cowboy to let go of his guilt and grief of his past to see the future that awaited him.

And Lily working with Honey just melted my heart. This is, indeed, a woman who loves well. And Obenhaus has once again delivered a read that I could not put down despite the late night (early morning) hour.

The Reluctant Warrior by Mary Connealy – Review

October 27, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Mary Connealy never ceases to make me giggle and chuckle when I’m reading her books and it makes them that much better. Her October release delivers once again!

About the Book

Union army officer Cameron Scott is used to being obeyed, but nothing about this journey to Lake Tahoe has gone as expected. He’s come to fetch his daughter and nephew, and seek revenge on the people who killed his brother. Instead he finds himself trapped by a blizzard with two children who are terrified of him and stubborn but beautiful Gwen Harkness, who he worries may be trying to keep the children.

When danger descends on the cabin where they’re huddled, Cam is hurt trying to protect everyone and now finds Gwen caring for him too. He soon realizes why the kids love her so much and wonders if it might be best for him to move on without them. When she sees his broken heart, Gwen decides to help him win back their affection–and in the process he might just win her heart as well.

Can’t Wait Wednesday: The Accidental Guardian by Mary Connealy

March 21, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 4 Comments

Another Wednesday has rolled around. After you read more about the book I’m looking forward to reading (or another book I’m looking forward to reading), be sure and visit our host site and see what other books people are anticipating.

Most of my reading is based off authors I enjoy or suggestions from other readers/bloggers I trust. But some covers just stand out. Mary Connealy’s cover for the first in her new series is both beautiful and adorable. I mean, come on, how can you not smile when looking at this one?

And if that didn’t convince you…

About the Book

When Trace Riley finds the smoldering ruins of a small wagon train, he recognizes the hand behind the attack as the same group who left him as sole survivor years ago. Living off the wilderness since then, he’d finally carved out a home and started a herd–while serving as a self-appointed guardian of the trail, driving off dangerous men. He’d
hoped those days were over, but the latest attack shows he was wrong.

Deborah Harkness saved her younger sister and two toddlers during the attack, and now finds herself at the mercy of her rescuer. Trace offers the only shelter for miles around, and agrees to take them in until she can safely continue. His simple bachelor existence never anticipated kids and women in the picture and their arrival is unsettling–yet enticing.

Working to survive the winter and finally bring justice to the trail, Trace and Deborah find themselves drawn together–yet every day approaches the moment she’ll leave forever.
