Marshaling Her Heart (Wyoming Sunrise #3) by Mary Connealy

 

Becky Pruitt has always prided herself on knowing everything that's happening on her successful ranch, which makes her foreman Nate Paxton's admission to her quite a surprise. With the notorious Deadeye Gang on the loose, Nate--a former U.S. Marshal--believes that Becky's ranch might be the best spot for a group of Marshals to use as a base and hideout.

The timing couldn't be more crucial for the growing town of Pine Valley, and Becky feels a commitment to help. But after escaping the grasp of her harsh father, she's never liked giving up control--of her life or her ranch. Again and again, Nate's proven himself to her and she soon realizes that if there's anyone she can trust with her ranch--and her heart--it might be him. But the outlaws won't go quietly, and as danger draws ever nearer, Becky and Nate are faced with impossible choices that will test their growing bond.

This rousing conclusion to Mary Connealy's Wyoming Sunrise series is an exhilarating blend of humor, romance, and adventure.

My thoughts:

I loved this book so much; I have loved this entire series.  Ms. Connealy crafts characters who I absolutely adore.  Especially her female characters.  This book is full of strong women, there’s not a shrinking violet to be found between the pages.

The series concludes perfectly with Becky  when the villain is revealed.  If you have read the first two books in the series, which I highly recommend, you will know that Becky and her friends have been fighting since the first book with some nefarious people.  As sorry as I am to see the series end, it was a great ending.

I loved the uplifting friendship between the three women, the way the town pulled together and yes, the food that Clint continued to prepare in his diner.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.  Opinions are my own.
