ABOUT THE BOOK



When a cowboy focused on revenge encounters a woman determined to distract him, there's going to be trouble in Texas!


Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn't terribly upset at being separated from the family who raised her. All they've ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she's rescued by Luke Stone...so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future.


Luke is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property won't let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meet up with friends who will help him take back the land, and since he can't just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she's going to have to go with him.


But the more time Luke spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his destructive path and be swept away by love?

MY REVIEW-This is one of the first Mary Connealy books I didn't really get into. For some reason I couldn't delve into it the way I normally do so I skimmed most of it. The characters were funny and I think it was the plot I had a hard time with. Not sure and it definitely could just be me but my mother felt the same way. She enjoys reading all of Mary's books and she didn't care for this one. But please pick it up and check it out if you like a funny historical novel. Mary's books always have a good amount of humor and I will be reading her next one, Fired Up. I did enjoy hearing the Kincaid's mentioned:)
