About the Book

Picture
Title: The Unexpected Champion
Series: High Sierra Sweethearts, Book 3
Author: Mary Connealy
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release Date: March 5, 2019
Genre: Historical Romance / Western

They’re as Different as Could Be.
But They’ll Need to Trust Each Other to Survive
the Wilderness . . . and the Dangers Chasing Them.

City dweller John McCall never expected to be out in the High Sierras of 1868 on a wild-goose chase to find the Chiltons’ supposedly lost grandson. But now that he’s out here, things have gotten even more complicated, mostly due to wildcat Penny Scott. She’s not like any woman he’s ever met–comfortable in the woods, with a horse, and with a gun.

When Penny and John are taken against their will by a shadowy figure looking for evidence they don’t have, both realize they’ve stumbled into something dangerous. With their friends and family desperately searching for them, Penny and John must make a daring escape.
​
When they emerge back into the real world, they discover their kidnapper just won’t stop. This city man and country woman must bring a powerful, ruthless man to justice, all while fighting a very inconvenient attraction to each other.

Review

The Unexpected Champion by Mary Connealy, the third book in her High Sierra Sweethearts series is a fast paced, quick, western, adventure story that readers will enjoy.  Although the story is a bit hard to get into in the beginning and tends to drag a little, readers that enjoy westerns with danger and adventure will enjoy this story.  Connealy’s characters are filled with tender hearts with the focus of family and protecting those they love.  This story also brings along some of the previous characters in series, bringing more fun to the story.  Readers of Connealy’s previous novels will be sure to enjoy this one as well.

I've never read any of Mary's books, but I enjoy 1800s westerns, so her books sound right up my alley. Thanks for sharing!
