Forged in Love

By Mary Connealy

Book Overview

In 1870, Mariah Stover is left for dead and with no memory when the Deadeye Gang robs the stagecoach she's on, killing her father and brother. As she takes over her father's blacksmith business and attempts to move forward, the old-fashioned townspeople meet her new occupation with disdain.

Handsome and polished Clint Roberts escaped to Western Wyoming from the painful memories he left back east. In the hope of a new life, he opens a diner where he creates fine dishes, but is met with a harsh welcome from the townsfolk who prefer to stick to their old ways.

Clint and Mariah are drawn together by the similar trials they face in a new town, and Clint is determined to protect Mariah at all costs when danger descends upon her home. As threats pursue them from every side, will they survive to build a life forged in love?

Another Great Western

I love westerns and I especially like Mary's. Mariah Stover along with her pa and brother run the local blacksmith shop, when her pa and brother are murdered in a stagecoach holdup she is left with amnesia. Clint Roberts who owns the local diner has feelings for Mariah so he helps with her recovery along with her friends Nell and Becky. When Mariah starts working at the blacksmith shop again a series of accidents leads her friends to believe that the gang who robbed the stagecoach are trying to kill her since they never leave a witness alive. This story is full of action, humor, female rights, faith, mystery, romance, and Brutus.

Adventure in Wyoming

5 stars, Adventure in Wyoming FORGED IN LOVE (WYOMING SUNRISE, BOOK #1 OF 2) by Mary Connealy In 1870 Wyoming, God is an essential part of the characters' lives. I loved the details about the heroine Mariah who is a blacksmith. My parents were blacksmiths, so I know that it is a hard job. I liked the hero Clint having his own homestead, yet tries to keep a cafe in town going. Providing sustenance and care for everyone in the area. There are good friends and great pets. This all rolls into an enjoyable novel. Highly recommend. The book wraps up at the end, solving most of the issues, but some details are left hanging, I'm sure that's so the author can continue on in book 2.
