Marshaling Her Heart - (Wyoming Sunrise) by Mary Connealy (Paperback)

All three books in this series are wonderful. I learned so much and lost myself in her great writing. I recommend these if you are a fan of Historical Fiction!

I could not wait to get my hands on this book! Connealy has an amazing talent of making her characters so unique and lovable, and I can’t get enough! I loved reading the first 2 books in this series, and I was dying to hear Becky’s story. Becky hasn’t had it easy. Looking at her now you would never guess what she had to go through in order to have her own life as a successful rancher. Her dad is known for his huge spread, but he is also known as a hard man. No one knows that better than Becky. Little does her conniving father know, Becky has a group of great people surrounding her that will stop at nothing to make sure she is protected. With the Dead Eye gang on the loose danger lurks around every corner. Nate and Becky have been through a lot together, and sure they might feel a spark or two. But that doesn’t mean either of them are ready to give up their independence. Out in the west where nothing is promised, can true love find a way? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. Connealy is one of my favorites, and that doesn’t come easily. She mixes just the right amount of suspense and romance and I loved every minute of it. This is the third book in the series, but you don’t need to read the other two novels in order to enjoy this one. That being said, you’ll miss out on getting to see Becky and her group of unique and interesting friends and the bonds they have. I can’t wait to see what Connealy comes up with next! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Get ready for a rough and tumble look at the Wild West in this exciting story. With a threat of the DeadEye Gang causing havoc wherever they go, the town needs to band together to capture them. Becky has been running her ranch for awhile and has very trusted men working for her. A plan is set that involves her ranch as a place to surprise the gang as undercover Marshalls are now working at the ranch. She is not happy at all as things aren’t getting done the way she wants. The ranch is her livelihood so her friend Nate better step up and convince her that the plan will work. Nate wants Becky to trust him because he does have her best interest at heart. I really like how he stood up to Becky’s dad when he tried to hit her. Respect is given in the town to women and Nate will not stand for anyone to strike a woman. I know Becky appreciates him looking out for her but is there an attraction developing between them? The book delivers lots of action and danger which keeps readers entertained throughout the book. I enjoyed getting to know Nate better and seeing what an humble man he is. Get ready for action as this story gives readers laughs, strong women characters and a few surprises along the way. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

This is a great conclusion to the Wyoming Sunrise series about three young women with untraditional jobs. Mariah is a blacksmith, Nell is a savvy businesswoman and justice of the peace, and Becky owns and runs her own large ranch. The Deadeye Gang is still active and must be finally stopped. Could it be possible that Becky's mean father, Joshua Pruitt, could be a part of the gang? Becky has to face some hard facts about her pa so it is especially good that she has Nate Paxton, her foreman, by her side. As in all good series, the main characters of the previous books are included. There is action, some humor, faith, and a dose of romance. There is also an emphasis on the qualities of a strong marriage. Mary Connealy can certainly create despicable villains but her books always feature strong, hardworking men and women of faith and high character. I enjoy her books very much. I received a complimentary copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.

The conclusion to the Wyoming Sunrise series. Becky Pruitt is a strong, independent woman who runs her own ranch. Nate Paxton is acting foreman and a former U.S. Marshall. When the U.S. Marshall's decide to stop the Dead Eye Gang once and for all they come to Becky for assistance since her ranch is close to the hideout. Full of action, humor, some laugh out loud moments, romance, faith, and suspense. An excellent ending to the series. Nell and Mariah and their families are part of the story too. The Suffrage Movement plays a part in all three books with Wyoming being the first state to allow women to vote.

1871 in Pine Valley, Wyoming was a beautiful, but dangerous region. A visit from one of the foremost women in suffrage, Mrs. Mussel, is expected shortly. But for some reason, the Deadeye Gang is back looting the stages and killing all witnesses, bringing the US Marshals into the area. Will safety or death greet this important visitor? Becky Pruitt had made a name for herself by purchasing and homesteading her own ranch, something she has been very successful at. However, it appears her father, who has his own spread, seems to need to have hers as well, something he is not above obtaining illegally. Just how far will he go? There is plenty of excitement and action in Wyoming Sunrise #3. Catching up with the ladies from the first two books rounded out the series. An early copy was received through Baker Publishing Group, Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
