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

It has been awhile and a multitude of other books since I read the previous books in the Intrigue Under Western Skies series so I had forgotten quite a bit of the background history. Even so, it was not difficult to comprehend what was going on within the pages of Revealed<\/strong><\/em>. This novel could easily stand on its on but combined with the first two books makes for extra good reading.<\/p>\n

Featuring Rhyan Cason’s previously unknown younger sister and his best friend Colt, this book touches on several important themes such as forgiveness, reconciliation, gossip, and judgemental attitudes. Bolstered by their faith and a growing dependence on the Lord, the primary characters in Revealed <\/strong><\/em>managed to overcome some serious obstacles and even life-threatening danger to their families. With quite a bit of action, excitement, and a mystery to solve, Katherine and Colt still found time for a bit of romance. Little did they know that the impending threat was much closer to home than either of them could imagine.<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed all the books in this series and look forward to future books by this author.<\/p>\n

Nothing can be hidden that won\u2019t be revealed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When her father dies, Katherine Levinson discovers her parents have kept secrets that render her happy childhood a farce. She and her gravely ill mother face eviction, and she has no choice but to appeal to the brother she\u2019s never seen, the famous cattle baron, Rhyan Cason. Over her gravely ill mother\u2019s objections, they move to Nebraska and the sprawling cattle ranch, Sollano.<\/p>\n

Instead of the warm welcome Katherine expects, she and her mother are met with whispers and scorn in the little prairie town near Sollano. Gradually, the sins of her parents\u2019 past surface, and Katherine begins to doubt her very identify. With her brother busy with cattle rustlers and her mother too ill to be bothered, Katherine turns to Colt Holliman, a soft-spoken neighboring rancher, for comfort.<\/p>\n

Tired of waiting for the right woman to come along, Colt has promised to wait for Charley Ryder, an acclaimed female sharp shooter and equestrian acrobat with the Wild West Show, but it\u2019s becoming clear Charley loves the show more than him. As his attraction to Katherine grows, he finds himself spiritually conflicted. How can he break from past commitments and follow his heart?<\/p>\n

Then unexpected danger strikes, testing Katherine\u2019s and Colt\u2019s faith in God\u2014and each other.<\/p>\n

GUEST POST FROM ELAINE MANDERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Backstory<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intrigue under Western Skies<\/em> Series, Book 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revealed<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Back when I watched television, drama series were my favorite\u2014Little House of the Prairie, the Waltons, the Virginian.<\/em> I was caught up in the lives of these characters and looked forward to seeing what they were up to each week. For much the same reason, I enjoy writing episodic series.<\/p>\n

Intrigue under Western Skies<\/em>, a blended genre, historical romantic suspense series falls in this category. Some of the characters show up in every book, with new ones added along the way. But the books can be read out of sequence since each one has a different premise and plot.<\/p>\n

In Revealed<\/em>, Book 3 of Intrigue under Western Skies<\/em>, I wanted to give Colt Holliman, previously introduced as a secondary character, his own HEA. Also, it seemed the time to reveal what happened to Rhyan Cason\u2019s mother, the woman who\u2019d caused so much angst in the first two books. More importantly, it gave me the opportunity to introduce Katherine, the sister he never knew existed.<\/p>\n

Unexpectedly, my research led me to the history of show business, and how it developed through the Wild West shows of the nineteenth century. From that, a mystery evolved.<\/p>\n

The spiritual thread running through Revealed<\/em> explores the emotions of a young woman who discovers blood relatives have been hidden from her. Can she accept and love her new family and forgive the sins of her parents?<\/p>\n

Maybe the greatest insight I gained from writing Revealed<\/em> is that one can never trust his own heart without first trusting God.<\/p>\n
