Woman of Sunlight by Mary Connealy

Woman of Sunlight is Mary Connealy’s second installment of the Brides of Hope Mountain series. And I must say, it’s better than the first.

While reading the first novel could help you better understand a few things, Woman of Sunlight can be read as a standalone. I could follow everything even though I read the first book several months ago.

As usual, Connealy packs action and humor that keeps you turning pages. The juxtaposition of Ilsa’s innocence and ferocity provided most of the moments I found memorable. Especially when Mitch and Ilsa reach the city. Ilsa’s reactions to things we take for granted today will entertain readers as much as the mystery of Mitch’s attacker will keep them them on the edge of their seat. Just when I thought I knew who the culprit was, Connealy threw me for a loop. She’s quite good at spinning an interesting and humoring tale, and this novel is no different.

The fact that the heroine’s family believed that there are two Bibles bothered me. But this novel addresses that more than Aiming for Love, which I appreciated. I think the next novel will finally resolve that. Speaking of the next novel, I liked the glimpses into Ursula. I’m excited to see what she’s up to in the next book.

Overall, this is an enjoyable read. If you like westerns, romantic comedies, and plots that keep you guessing, than this is the book for you.
