Western romance. When Ruthie finds herself swept away in a flash flood while her family (actually guardians) travel West via wagon train, she realizes they are all lost. Considering the abuse she suffered from them, she finds a chance for a new life. Good, clean romance.
Loved this book! I really like the style of Mary Connealy novels. They are funny and have rough and tough characters who fight off the bad guys together! Highly recommended!
I was swept right into the story of Swept Away when I started reading the book.
Ruth is living with the Reinhardts, a family who has raised her. She is promised to be married to their son, yet they treat her like their slave, forcing her to do all their work. When their wagon was crossing a river, a huge wave came and swept them down the river. Ruth has escaped the family and she doesnt regret it. She still lives in fear of them finding her, even though they are probably dead. However, when Luke fishes her out of the river, she doesnt realize shes still walking into more trouble.
Lukes ranch was stolen from him by a man he believes killed his father. Luke and Ruth arrive in town and have to hide out so that Greer doesnt find out Luke is back in town. Luke gathers the help of some of his closest friends as they try to make a plan for getting Lukes ranch back. Eventually, they have their plan set, they just have to set it in motion.
Will Ruth find happiness away from the Reinhardts? Or is she destined for a life full of trouble? Will Luke get his ranch back? Will Luke ever find out how his father really died?
Swept Away was a wonderful story full of laughter and fun. I really enjoyed each part of the book and had a hard time putting the book down. Each chapter leaves you wondering what will happen next so you want to keep reading to see whats going to happen. I had only read one Mary Connealy book before so this was a great introduction to her writing. I look forward to the rest of the books in this trilogy and also reading some of Mary Connealys past books.
This book was given to me by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for a fair and honest review.
