Book Description
After years of isolation on top of Hope Mountain, Ilsa Nordegren may finally be ready to leave. Raised to fear the world, Ilsa and her sisters never planned on coming down, but when the Warden family arrived in need, they had to help. And it may cost them everything.
Having made his fortune, Mitch Warden returned home and found the family homestead abandoned. In a land grab, a ruthless cattle baron had forced his family to escape up the mountain, and when he follows, the last thing he expects is to fall smitten to a black-haired woman who dresses like Robin Hood.
Warden is intent on helping his family reclaim their land, but doesn't realize the risks his past has brought. Dangerous men have tracked him, and rather than risk innocent lives, he's determined to end the danger. But that means a journey to the city--and when Ilsa insists on joining him, the mismatched pair suddenly find themselves on a venture they'll never forget.

My thoughts:
Mary Connealy's second book in the Bride of Hope Mountain is just as amazing as Aiming for Love, the first book, I didn't realize just how much I have missed the three naive, sweet and loving sisters until I opened this book. The Nordegren sisters have lived on Hope Mountain all their liives. After the deaths of their grandparents the three girls find their lives pretty much the same, living a life cut off from the outside world where they are sheltered from perceived dangers and illness
Until the Warden family showed up and then the sisters lives changed drastically.
Woman of Sunlight is Ilsa's story and what a story it is! She is quite the character, she's tiny, she thinks nothing of swinging from a treetop and she has truly impressive knife skills. She is also curious which is how she ends up going to New York with Mitch Warden and let tell you to be prepared to laugh your way through their journey. Ilsa is such an innocent young woman who is completely out of her element once she leaves Hope Mountain but seeing her experience things she's never experienced before is heartwarming. Yes, I did use the word seeing because the descriptive writing brought this story to life for me. I could easily imagine the excitement, the fears and the uncertainty Ilsa felt as she was off on her big adventure.
I loved the faith element the characters share although the Nordegren sisters were taught slightly different than most people it does not diminish their beliefs or their ability to help others as best they can.
Overall, this book deserves more than the 5 stars I can give it. As usual Ms. Connealy's writing is top-notch, the characters are endearing and the witty plot line was everything I hoped it would be and more. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
