Fired Up is a classic Mary Connealy cowboy romantic romp. Yet like many of her novels, it has strains of suspense that add to the tension and keep the pages flying. The book starts with action and the pace continues as we watch Dare and Glynna carve out new lives for themselves. A very enjoyable read…with all the humor I’ve come to love in a Mary Connealy novel!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Rollicking Wild West Adventure and Romance from Bestselling Author Mary Connealy

Dare Riker is a doctor who saves lives, but someone seems determined to end his. It may have something to do with the traitors he dealt with during the Civil War, or it might be related to the recent incident with Flint Greer and the ranch. Whoever the culprit is, he or she seems really fired up, and Dare can’t let his guard down for a moment, which is a challenge, since right now he’s trying to win the heart of the recently widowed Glynna.

Glynna Greer came west as a mail-order bride and ended up in a bad situation. Now her husband, Flint, is dead, and she’s determined to care for her son and daughter on her own. She wants to believe Dare Riker is as decent as he seems, but she’s terrified to lock herself into another marriage. She plans to support her small family by opening a diner–never mind that cooking is not her greatest talent. The men in Broken Wheel, Texas, are so desperate for home cooking that they seem willing to overlook dried-out beef and blackened biscuits.

Glynna can’t help but notice that danger follows Dare wherever he goes. There’s the avalanche. And then the fire. But things really get out of hand when someone plunges a knife from Glynna’s diner into Dare’s back. Are Flint’s cronies still plotting revenge? Is Glynna’s son engaged in a misguided attempt to protect his mother? Is a shadowy outsider still enraged over past injustices? And can Dare survive long enough to convince Glynna to take another chance on love?

  1. I “met” Dare and Glynna in “Swept Away,” the first book in this series. I want to find out what happens with them and the rest of their friends. I always enjoy Mary’s blend of action, humor, and romance.

  10. I am intrigued to see how long it takes Glynna to overcome the bad situation she faced with her marriage and how long before she will be able to trust again. Also the mystery regarding Dares problems.

  13. Love Mary Connealy’s books! I just finished _Out of Control_ and I think I finished it in two sittings! I’ve read tons of Christian historicals, and that was the first time I’ve ever met a leading lady like Julia! I have to say, if this one is half as engaging as her other books, I’ll not be able to put it down! Looking forward to meeting a new set of friends!

  19. What sets my heart afire about this book…that she’s willing to do whatever it takes to care for her family even if it requires cooking….that she has to learn to gain confidence in order to trust Dare….that I bet Mary wrote ANOTHER wonderful western love story!

  21. I’m impressed and intrigued that Glynna wants to support herself and kids but can’t figure out anything to do but open a diner when she can’t cook.

    1. I just realized that I was supposed to say what intrigues me about this story. In a lot of Mary’s books the woman seems to find trouble – I’m interested to see how she creates the tension for the other side.

  28. LOVE Mary’s books with comedy and cowboys. Loved meeting her at the ACFW Conference last weekend too. Thanks for the chance to win. It’ll give me another book to read to my old Trooper horse. Cowboy books are his favorite. 😉

  29. I like the mystery aspect of the storyline, also the fact that the female lead character is a mail-order bride.
