ABOUT THE BOOK:
In 1866 Colorado, Ethan Kincaid agrees to a marriage of convenience with the same casual disregard he gives every decision. Audra Gilliland, young mother of two, accepts his proposal because she wants to stop being a burden to her newly married stepdaughter. And suddenly both of them are in far deeper than they’d planned.
Ethan doesn’t expect Audra to affect him so profoundly, and when she begins to, he’s terrified of the pain he’s felt before when someone he loved was seriously injured on his watch. He’s determined that his new wife will do as he says so he can keep her safe from the dangers that lurk on their ranch. Audra has been cared for all her life by one man or another–and they’ve done a poor job of it. Now she’s planning to stand up for herself. And her new husband had better agree or get out of her way!
What will it take to transform two wayward hearts fearful of getting in too deep into two trusting hearts ready to risk falling deeply in love?

MY REVIEW:
In Too Deep, b00k two of the Kincaid Bride series takes up where the first book ends. To avoid being totally bumfuzzled, I would advise reading Out of Control before even thinking about reading this one. There is just too much foundation information in the first book that adds to the understanding and enjoyment of the second one.
As a solution to a pressing problem, Rafe Kincaid has convinced his brother Ethan that he must marry Audra immediately and return to the ranch with her and her two young daughters. Ethan and Audra are both resistant to the idea – Ethan is not sure he ever wants to marry and Audra wants a chance to prove she can manage on her own. Since this is a Mary Connealy novel after all, it is a given that the pair will end up madly in love and that the road to that discovery will be a tumultuous and sometimes humorous one. And of course, since this is the middle installment of a trilogy, you can also expect to have quite a few loose ends that remain to be tied up in the final installment.
In Too Deep is classic Connealy. If you are a fan, you know you can’t miss this one. If you have not read any of Mary’s books, where have you been? You probably need to pick up a few of her novels and prepare yourself for some romantic fun. I would advise picking up both volumes of this series and possibly even preordering the final installment Over the Edge so that you’ll have it as soon as it is available.
