INTO THE SUNSET by Mary Connealy, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #ReleaseDay

A Western Light Book #3: (A Historical Western Romance Set in 1800's Cheyenne, Wyoming)


For a good old fashioned western story, you cannot go wrong with Into The Sunset. The conclusion of this series sees a resolution to the problem of Ginny confronting her husband who had her unjustly committed to an insane asylum.

Lots of danger and excitement surround the group of friends as they seek to prove Ginny sane by traveling to Cheyenne, Wyoming for a trial. Dakota, a former wagon train master, is being stalked by a man out for revenge. Maeve tags along to help care for the children in the group. Dakota and Maeve have a shaky past, so all is not smooth in that respect either.

An appealing set of folks and interesting facts about the laws of the old west had me turning pages. The characters were flawed but honest in their actions and their faith was shown authentically. The themes of repentance, forgiveness and trusting God were prevalent. In the romance between Maeve and Dakota there is substantial growth and eventual maturity.

Ms. Connealy has another winner in this series set in the 1870s old west.
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House on behalf of the author. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.* 4 stars and a solid faith thread 

BackCover Blurb:
Will the sun set on their chance at happiness before they can seize it?

To finally escape the clutches of her controlling husband and the threat of being recommitted to an asylum, Ginny Rutledge enlists the help of her friends, Maeve O'Toole and Dakota Harlan. Fleeing their own tumultuous pasts, the group embarks on a journey to prove Ginny's sanity. However, as they confront the shadows they wish they could forget, danger looms from unexpected places.

Maeve grapples with her mother's impending remarriage and seizes a rare chance to escape her homestead--but that means reuniting with Dakota, the man she holds responsible for her father's death, who is caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful family. As the two of them navigate their shared history and a dangerous mission, Dakota is forced to confront his deepest fears and fight for the woman who has unwittingly captured his heart.
