Marshaling Her Heart (Wyoming Sunrise #3) by Mary Connealy
I love continuing the stories of characters from the mind of novelist Mary Connealy. While, Marshaling Her Heart wasn’t my favorite book overall in the Wyoming Sunrise trilogy, it was a great end to reading the series and needed to continue the characters and overall plot to discover what was to happen next. This book was my escape when the family was going into flu season, and once humidifiers were in place, cough herbal remedies were dosed, and breathing of little ones finally appropriately eased, I put my brand newly pregnant self into escaping to the western frontier to find out what would happen next. Reading books like this makes me laugh,…

The Laws of Attraction (Wyoming Sunrise #2) by Mary Connealy
Continuing this series from Mary Connealy is a treat and I’m eager to dive into the third novel in the trilogy. As I was winding down the story and already knew that I was loving the elements between these characters in a full twist of standard love story with a strong woman, rather saving the man… I was eager to realize that I really wanted to read the stories of each of the three daughters as they grew to womanhood as their characters were full of so much personality in their few mentions within the pages as side characters as it was. While I’m not much of a feminist, I…

Forged in Love (Wyoming Sunrise #1) by Mary Connealy
If you can believe it, I’ve been reading Mary Connealy Christian Historical Fiction Romance novels since I started blogging. I read her books when I thought I would never have a child. I read her books when I started blogging about maternity products. I blogged reviews and read her books while researching homeschool methods. I read and reviewed her books after taking breaks from two miscarriages and I even read her books when I was stuck in the NICU after the birth of my fifth living child. Mary Connealy’s novels and novellas full of historical characters of wit and wisdom have been an elemental part of my life for nearly…

Whatcha reading, July?
I haven’t been reading much. I mean I read every day, but nothing like what I used to when I first started this blog. You know, back when it was called creative madness that makes me myself and it was over on blogger. Ha! It is safe to say that things changed when I started reviewing maternity products, cloth diaper, baby gear, and now mostly homeschool curricula. But I still love to read when I get the chance. While this year has been a bear and energy is not one of my finer qualities at the moment, insomnia has kicked in which is having an interesting effect on my ability to…

All for Love: The Boden Birthright by Mary Connealy {Review}
Mary Connealy is a superstar and I consider myself her biggest fan. A few years ago, I was blessed to finally meet my heroine in person as well as Kristi Ann Hunter whom I adored from day one. In my Kindle reader history, one would find that Jen Turano always finds five stars in my ratings. Now, put all three of these ladies in one book cover? Oh my! The Boden Birthright: I love these little novella stories. Novellas are the most amazing marketing concept in my opinion and what better way to hook a reader to a story, to a series, with vast anticipation about what is to come.…
