The Accidental Guardian by Mary Connealy
Book Description:
She's the only witness to a wagon train attack. Keeping her safe, though, means his world is about to be turned upside down.When Trace Riley finds the smoldering ruins of a small wagon train, he recognizes an attack by the same group who left him as sole survivor years ago. Living off the wilderness since then, he's finally carved out a home and started a herd--while serving as a self-appointed guardian of the trail. He'd hoped the days of driving off dangerous men were over, but the latest attack shows otherwise.
Deborah Harkness saved her younger sister and two toddlers during the attack, and now finds herself at the mercy of her rescuer. Trace becomes an accidental guardian when he offers the only shelter for miles around and agrees to take them in until they can safely continue their journey. His simple bachelor existence never anticipated kids and women in the picture and their arrival is unsettling--yet enticing.Trace and Deborah find themselves drawing ever closer as they work together to bring justice to the trail and help the group survive the winter--but every day closer to spring means a day closer to leaving the mountains forever.
My Opinion:
Highly Entertaining! I LOVE Mary Connealy's books! And The Accidental Guardian is no exception! A fantastic western adventure filled with fabulous characters! I LOVE the Faith scenes and the humor laced with in the serious! When the plot would start to get really heavy Mary throws in some humor or even a touch of action to lighten the mood of the story. There were some lulls in the pace of the story for me, every now and then. And while not everything is highly realistic it's all in good entertainment and adventure! ;) I have to give a shout out to ???? for that completely beautiful, eye catching, and adorable cover! I REALLY loved all these unique and relatable characters and was totally left hanging in the end. So I am champing at the bit for the next in this series!
