I wanted to write a ‘battle of the sexes’ book with the hero and heroine behaving in complete discord, not because they don’t like each other, but because they don’t understand each other, a situation made worse by their gender and upbringing. I started with only Petticoat Ranch, really no notion of making it a series. But they’re so much more than mere westerns. Mary, you’re back with your delightful series of westerns. It’s that good! So leave a comment letting me know why this is a book you need to read. If we have at least 20 commentors I will go buy a copy of this book to give away. Mary has graciously stopped by today to answer some questions. Yet he also has to learn to let go and trust God, because the problem is daunting. While we were yet sinners, He gave His all - Grant shows those characteristics in how he acts for his kids. Not only did it challenge my attitudes on a personal level, it also revealed God’s heart for us. Frankly, as we wrestle with abortion/adoption/caring for the orphans, this book challenged me even as I laughed and loved right along with the characters. What gripped me about this book is the incredible heart for the abandoned children that is demonstrated by the characters. And I love the surprise for readers who adored Calico Canyon. There’s also the dash of suspense that builds at the end of the book. She doesn’t swing to the extreme of humor or romance, but instead blends the two in a delightful concoction that keeps the pages turning. Mary is back with her delightful humor, but also with a wonderful dose of warmth and emotion. Hannah has fears that the children will only be used and abused by him. When two are left in the opening chapter, he naturally accepts them into his family.

Grant has dedicated his adult life to adopting the orphans nobody wants off the orphan train. Hannah Cartwright lands in a small Texas town desperate to save orphans from the dastardly Grant. Gingham Mountain is a wonderful addition to the series.Ī galloping ride headed for a love-hate relationship. These sassy westerns are filled with romance, heart, and characters that leave you in stitches. I adore her Petticoat Ranch and Calico Canyon, and had high hopes for Gingham Mountain. I was thrilled to receive my copy of Mary Connealy‘s latest book last week.
