Now & Forever by Mary Connealy

Book 2 of the Wild at Heart series is available.  Bethany House sent me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.  I love the adventure in Mary Connealy's novels!  Shannon is the middle sister of the Wilde family.  She is raising sheep on her own homestead. After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she finds herself forced to marry Matthew Tucker to save her reputation. Tucker is a mountain man, preferring to be alone in the wilderness for months at a time.  Raised by an Indian woman, he knows how to track animals and people, but is unsure how to treat his new wife.  They find themselves teaming up together against a greedy man who wants Shannon's homestead. Connealy provides action and mystery in her novel, and I love how she includes characters from Book 1.  Being someone who loves the outdoors and 1860's time period in the west, I enjoyed Shannon's story.  Shannon is brave and loyal and learned she can trust God for her future!
