ABOUT THE BOOK:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When a cowboy focused on revenge encounters a woman determined to distract him, there’s going to be trouble in Texas!<\/p>\n

Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn’t terribly upset at being separated from the family who raised her. All they’ve ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she’s rescued by Luke Stone…so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future.<\/p>\n

Luke is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property won’t let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meet up with friends who will help him take back the land, and since he can’t just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she’s going to have to go with him.<\/p>\n

But the more time Luke spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his destructive path and be swept away by love?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again Mary Connealy has brought her readers a thoroughly entertaining diversion from their daily routines. With a feisty heroine and a manly hero, Swept Away<\/a> is an action-packed, suspense-filled western romance seasoned with with Mary’s trademark humor.<\/p>\n

I loved getting to read Luke’s story and thought that Ruthy was a good match for him. There seemed to be a bit more action and not quite as much humor in this novel but that did not hinder the story for me. I enjoyed meeting Luke’s friends, “the Regulators” and hope some of them will be featured in future novels. As usual Mary has provided the perfect blend of faith, fun, action and romance to keep me reading her books as long as she can write them.<\/p>\n

If you are not already a fan of Mary Connealy, give “Swept Away” a try and I can almost guarantee you will love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
