Sharpshooter in Petticoats ~ Mary Connealy

This is the 3rd (and probably the last one) in the Sophie's Daughters series. This book starts 2 years after Wrangler in Petticoats, which is about Sally and Logan. Mandy, the oldest sister and the mother of 3 little kids, is dealing with the death of her husband and a family of Cooter's who want her dead. Mandy is "rescued by Tom" and helped to defend herself and her kids from the family  hunting her down. This book brings all the sisters together along with characters from her other books like The Reeves from Calico Canyon and Belle and her family from The Husband Tree. This book has sadness, lonelyness, joy, laughter and the joy or reading all in one book. It only took me 2 days to read this book. I just could not put it down. I can't wait to see what else Mary Connealy has in store for her readers.

Wrangler in Petticoats

I have been keeping up with my New Years Resolution to read a book a week. This is the end of the 4th week of the new year and I have finished my 4th book. This is the second book in the Sophie's Daughter's series. This book is about the daughter Sally. She is traveling to visit her sister Mandy who is in a hard marriage and expecting her 3rd child in 3 years. Sally is attacked and injured while traveling to Mandy's. She is rescued by Logan, who is a painter and nothing like any man Sally has ever met. The men who attacked Sally on the trail are still after her. While Sally is hiding she falls in love with Logan. I enjoyed the book but the parts about Logan and his painting dreams were a little boring to me. I am not an artsy type of person so these parts of the book did not hold my attention. However, the rest of the book is so Awesome that I still read the book quickly and with great enjoyment.

The next one in this series is Sharpshooter in Petticoats...which I started reading last night and I am almost half way through it .

The Gunsmith's Gallantry ~ Susan Page Davis

Great western book! This book gives you "girl shooting power." The series is set in 1886 in Fergus, Idaho. In this book their is a group of ladies who have learned how to shoot guns, in order to help protect themselves and their town. Hiram Dooley is dreading the fact that is sister-in-law is coming to town for a visit. Rose is the sister to Hiram's late wife. She is not use to the life out west and becomes a burden to the family. Hiram's sister Trudy is trying to be the better woman in the situation. Trudy hopes to marry the Sheriff, if he will every propose to her. The book will have you laughing out loud and living life in the pages of the book. There is a level predictability in the book but the story flies off the pages and leaves you looking for the next book in the series.

Licensed for Trouble ~ Susan May Warren

I have not had any time to read over the last 2 months...With starting a new job and serving through the holiday's, I have not had any free time. Since Christmas, I have read three books. Here is the review of the first book.

Licensed for Trouble is the third book in the PJ Sugar series by Susan May Warren
This book is about PJ Sugar, who is trying to learn how to be a PI without getting herself into so much TROUBLE! She has a couple of guys after her love and affection. PJ inherits an old house, has a homeless man with no memory show up on her front porch, a mystery to solve about her past and boyfriend drama. All of this makes for a great book with lots of mystery and Laughter. A couple of times I was laughing out loud, and Nate would stop and ask me what? I could not explain because you have to read the book to understand the laughter and humor of the characters.
