Despite being a longtime friend to Wyatt, Winona can't help but be drawn to the earnest, kind Kevin, and that puts her in the cross hairs of somebody's dangerous plot. With every reason to despise each other, can the Hunt brothers put aside their differences long enough to protect the ones they love?

"Braced For Love" by Mary Connealy is Book One in the Brothers in Arms series and after reading this first book I cannot wait to read the next one! If you enjoy romantic cowboy fiction that's filled with realistic characters, action, surprises, and humor then you will enjoy Mary Connealy's books. In this book we meet three brothers, Wyatt, Kevin and Falcon, who had no idea they had brothers. They all have the same father, but beyond that they never knew each other existed, until their father died and left each of them 1/3 of his ranch. As it turns out the father led a pretty scandalous life as he had wives and sons in different parts of the country that no one knew about. This causes many problems in each of brothers lives as you can imagine, especially since each of them had a different views of their father and each of them live different kinds of lives from one another. Add to this mix, a rough tough kind of crazy step sister, Cheyanne, and her best friend, Winona, who's almost as rough and tough but is a schoolteacher, who is hiding a secret from her past, and Kevin's two step-siblings, Molly and Andy, who are orphans that he is raising. And if that is not enough to spark your curiosity, there is also a mysterious gun man or two that seem to be out to kill all the brothers for some reason. This book will surely capture your attention at the first page and keep you entertained until the very last page. You will most likely try to figure out what will happen next as I did, but you will find there are a few twists and turns that you don't expect that will lead you on paths that are most interesting and surprising. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Christian Fiction Western Romance. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review. All comments are my own.
Great New Western Series!

Kevin Hunt is the main focus of this western that is sometimes funny, often mysterious, but always enjoyable! Author Mary Connealy includes fights, ambushes, and unknown villains, but there's also a sweet romance that grows between Kevin and Winona Hawkins, the schoolmarm who finds herself torn between her long-time friend Wyatt and this new guy that's shown up at Bear Claw Pass, Wyoming. Kevin is such a kind character and I found his devotion to his two younger siblings especially endearing. Their mother's death thrust him into the role of father when he was just fifteen, and he's done his very best to provide a home for Molly and Andy! Now, he has to accept that his father had more than one wife and apparently, more than one son! Braced for Love is a delightful story filled with memorable characters, intriguing suspense, and many laugh-out-loud moments. There's also a strong faith message, and many mentions of prayer, as Kevin, Wyatt, and Falcon Hunt struggle to accept that they are family! This is the first book in the new series, Brothers in Arms, so I'm 'bracing' myself for more fun and adventure, and the chance to learn more about Wyatt and Falcon. No one does romantic comedy better than Mary Connealy and I definitely recommend Braced for Love to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
Braced for Love

Three brothers who don't know about each other until their wayward father dies and leaves them each a portion of a Wyoming ranch that belonged to his late last wife and her daughter (who was cut out of the will). Wyatt, the youngest, has been ranching all his life with his half-sister Cheyenne. It doesn't set well with them to have to share the ranch. The middle brother, Kevin, was a farmer in Kansas and arrives with younger half-siblings, Molly and Andy, who he's raised for the last ten years. Falcon is the oldest, from Tennessee, who looks most like their father. All three brothers have the same unusual hazel eyes. Cheyenne's best friend Winona lives with her and Wyatt and is like a sister to them. There is the added complication of someone who keeps trying to kill Kevin. As is typical of this author's books, there is plenty of action, humor, faith, and romance. Braced for Love is a great beginning to a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am looking forward to reading books two and three to continue the adventures with these characters. I received a complementary copy of the book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own.
Oh I loved it!

I enjoyed every single moment I spent reading Braced for Love. I easily fell in love with the characters, faults and all. They are all so completely unique, and I am honestly having the hardest time waiting until the next book in the Brother’s in Arms series comes out. Since this is a book written by Mary Connealy I should know that it’s going to be that addicting and consuming, and I just can’t help myself. This is the first book in the series that follows a set of newfound brothers. The storyline is so original and I can’t imagine how Connealy came up with it, but I love it! Kevin is so sweet and honest and I can’t get enough of him. Winona is his perfect match with her passion and bravery. There is just the right amount of danger mixed in with romance. I loved watching the relationships between the siblings, whether they knew each other their whole lives, or just met between the pages of this story. I truly felt like I got to know the characters pretty well in this book, and can’t wait to spend more time with them. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. Connealy is one of my favorites, and she can do know wrong. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Couldn't put it down!

Mary Connealy writes memorable and fun-to-read characters and storylines. Braced for Love starts off her new Brothers in Arms series with a bang! As I read about hero Kevin Hunt, I felt a pull in my heart for his situation. When he meets Winona Hawkins, that's when the fireworks begin. This story pulls you along through their journey and other noteworthy characters appear on the pages as well. As I closed the book, it left a grin on my face, and I can't wait for another novel in this series to come out. One enjoyable read, sit down with plans to stay in the chair all day long, you won't want to put it down! I received the book from the publisher and was under no obligation to write nor post a review.
