Genre: Historical
When a doctor who attracts danger falls for a cook
determined to make it on her own, there's going to be trouble in Texas !
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 make a go of it on her own. In a town full of
men, Glynna decides she can support her two children by opening a diner--never
mind that cooking is not her greatest talent.
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.
Though his doctoring business is booming due to Glynna's questionable cooking,
Dare seems to encounter unexpected dangers wherever he goes. There's the
avalanche. And the fire. And then the shadowy figure with a knife. Can Dare
survive it all long enough to convince Glynna to take another chance on love?
FIRED UP is the second book in Ms. Connealy’s Trouble In Texas series. The books
easily stand alone, but readers will want to read Swept Away. Glynna was married to an abusive man…men… but she
doesn’t hesitate to stand up for herself. She is strong-willed, determined, and
convinced that Dr. Dare is a half-wit. Dare is equally strong willed, but not
determined enough to make sure he gets his way when Glynna is determined to
ride right into danger.
There is a lot of telling in the book. I didn’t get as close
to the characters as I would’ve liked—but there is non-stop action that is
almost exhausting. Bang, bang, bang… everything at once, from rockslides and an
Indian camp full of measles and on and on. The action will keep the reader reading.
Fans of Ms. Connealy or western historical romances will want to read FIRED UP.
She is the best western historical writer out there—and award-winning—with good
reason. 4 stars—only for the telling and the distance from the characters.
