The Reluctant Warrior
Mary Connelly
Book description from NetGalley:
“Union army officer Cameron Scott is used to being obeyed, but nothing about this journey to Lake Tahoe has gone as expected. He’s come to fetch his daughter and nephew, and seek revenge on the people who killed his brother. Instead he finds himself trapped by a blizzard with two children who are terrified of him and stubborn but beautiful Gwen Harkness, who he worries may be trying to keep the children.
When danger descends on the cabin where they’re huddled, Cam is hurt trying to protect everyone and now finds Gwen caring for him too. He soon realizes why the kids love her so much and wonders if it might be best for him to move on without them. When she sees his broken heart, Gwen decides to help him win back their affection–and in the process he might just win her heart as well.”

My Review:
From the very first page, this book dives into action. It begins with an intense rescue scene, and the action continues all throughout the book. The characters of Gwen and Cam are both “reluctant warriors” who will do everything they can to protect their family and the people they love. Along the way, they have lessons to learn about putting their complete faith and trust in God.
Gwen is a strong woman who is fiercely loyal and will protect her own. Cam is a courageous and dedicated hero. This is a great addition to the series. Together they make a terrific couple. I love Mary Connealy’s stories. I’m already looking forward to the next one
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
TY for the great review! I have the first two books and I’m looking forward to reading them. I hear good things about them.
