A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Now and Forever (Wild at Heart #2) - Mary Connealy

This is the second book in the Wild at Heart series.  The first book is called Tried and True.

Tucker’s day isn’t going well.  He’s distracted by something he’s seen and suddenly finds himself trying to get away from an angry bear.  He runs into Shannon and they both end up over a cliff and into the Slaughter River, named because no one comes out the other end alive.

Shannon gets them to safety, but now they have a larger problem.  There’s no way they can follow the deadly river to safety, so they need to follow a cave and hope to come out the other side alive.  Once they’re on the outside, they’re surrounded by friends that are fond of storytelling.  To save Shannon’s reputation, Tucker is going to have to marry her.

Not sure how they’re going to make it work, they’ve got time to figure things out while Tucker recovers from his wounds from their adventure.  Tucker has no intentions of raising sheep, and Shannon isn’t interested in being shut up in a cabin for months on end while her husband is off trapping.  Add to that the mystery of homesteaders being burned off their land, and Shannon has her plate full.

This was a nice book.  I liked the first one better, but this one had its moments as well.  I thought the end was a little strange, as Shannon seemed to change her opinion on things without the fire and determination that she’d shown through so much of the book.  Overall, it was pretty good.

The next book in the series, Fire and Ice, is going to be about the third sister, Bailey, and Gage.  Kylie and Aaron, from Tried and True, show up in this book and their story is mentioned, but I still think you can read them out of order.  Fire and Ice is due out October 6, 2015.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
