Excellent story line, and characters with suspense, laughter and fun reading the 3 books in this series of "Brides of Hope Mountain"! Loved it!

Loved this book! Mary Connealy's characters are such fun!

Once again Mary Connealy penned a historical western fiction that is filled with humor yet so realistic. Ilsa Nordegren lives near the top of Hope Mountain in Colorado with the nearest small town Bucksnort. But because her grandpa raised she and her two sisters, he repeatedly told them to stay away from the lowlands as they were dangerous. So Ilsa and her sisters grew up uneducated and unladylike, but strong Christians.

So many phrases that we take for granted such as hogtied and chip on your shoulder had no meaning whatsoever for poor Ilsa. She had never worn anything other than the buckskin pants that she'd hand sewn or had as hand me downs from her sisters, and she had run wild through the tress and hill country near their home. Corsets and dresses weren't even in her vocabulary. Enter Mitch Warden whose father had a horse ranch down the mountain and trouble followed him everywhere including all his interactions with Ilsa.

I loved seeing the world and all it held opening up to Ilsa and Mitch's warm support and understanding were incredible. The suspense was just enough to keep me page turning as Mitch and Ilsa kept running into trouble wherever they went. Of course, a HEA ending made this western an enjoyable read.

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions are mine alone. I was not compensated for this review.

Woman of Sunlight by Mary Connealy.. What an interesting story of how these two families are acquainted. This is about the black haired lady who dresses like Robin Hood and the son who captures her heart. What was once a quiet life in the mountains becomes full of surprises and a lot of action.

This book was a perfect read for coronavirus season. The characters drew me in quickly and often made me laugh. It is one of the most relaxing books I have read in a long time!
