About the Book

When Cimarron ranch patriarch Chance Boden is caught in an avalanche, the quick actions of hired hand Heath Kincaid save him. Badly injured, Chance demands that his will be read and its conditions be enforced immediately.

Without anyone else to serve as a witness, Heath is pressed into reading the will. If Justin, Sadie, and Cole Boden don’t live and work at home for the entire year, the ranch will go to their low-down cousin Mike.

Then Heath discovers the avalanche was a murder attempt, and more danger might follow. Deeply involved with the family, Heath’s desire to protect Sadie goes far beyond friendship. The danger keeps them close together, and their feelings grow until being apart is the last thing on their minds.

My Thoughts

Yee Haw!!! I love me a good Mary Connealy cowboy romance! This one is doubly sweet since I already know Heath from The Kincaid Brides series and Chance and Veronica from the prequel novella Boden Birthright (pick up a kindle copy, it’s free!) It’s certainly not required reading for enjoying Heath and Sadie’s story but the backstory always interests me and I’m an unapologetic book glutton.

Sadie has been groomed to be a lady and dutiful daughter, protected from every hardship, and pretty much told what to do. When her big brothers and ranch-hand Heath Kincaid start bossing her in her parents’ absence, she realizes she’s ready and capable to boldly stand on her own two feet. Sadie’s compassion is endearing and I admire her adventurous spirit!

Heath is all grown up and Kincaid through and through. He is determined to do everything in his power to protect the boss’s daughter and get to the bottom of suspicious activities around the ranch. Heath has learned many skills from his brothers and during the years he’s spent wandering. He helps the Bodens with everything from ranching and rock climbing to life-saving medical treatment.

I highly recommend this title (and ALL Mary Connealy titles!) for its romance, humor, suspense, family dynamics, interesting historical tidbits, and faith-filled entertainment.

I requested the opportunity to read and review this book through NetGalley and the publisher. The opinions expressed are my own. This review was originally posted on 07/19/16.
