Reading, Reviewing, and Revising

Over the Edge – a Litfuse Review

Over the Edge, written by Mary Connealy, was one of those books that I enjoy reading simply because there’s no nonsense–just pure, honest to goodness enjoyable reading. Edgy, climactic, entertaining and simply hilarious, this book is perfect for the die-hard historical romantic fiction readers like myself who like a little chuckle every now and then.

Hardy, raw, and sturdy, Callie Kincaid has gone west to find her straying husband. She held off a bunch of robbers on the way to Colorado–not her cup of tea while traveling with her infant son. The lone shooter after the driver and his shotgun rider were shot, Callie held off the robbers while she sent off others to get help. The help that she didn’t expect to get was that of her own husband’s–who now had forgotten her.

Seth Kincaid, having lost his memory after war-related trauma and a horrific childhood accident, found himself drawn to Callie’s relentless spunk . . . and her wrath. Finding her with blood all over her face and nasty cuts everywhere, he managed to get her under a doctor’s care before she succumbed to deadly blood loss. Boy, was he in a quandary when she woke up ready to make him hurt just as bad as she!

Filled with raw emotion, adventure, romance, and humor, Over the Edge is a book that will make you want to read more. It is the third book in a series called The Kincaid Brides. Try it out! I’m willing to bet you won’t be disappointed. Now, excuse me while I go track down Books One and Two. 😉

About the Book:

Seth Kincaid survived a fire in a cave, but he’s never been the same. He was always a reckless youth, but now he’s gone over the edge. He ran off to the Civil War and came back crazier than ever.

After the war, nearly dead from his injuries, it appears Seth got married. Oh, he’s got a lot of excuses, but his wife isn’t happy to find out Seth doesn’t remember her. Callie has searched, prayed, and worried. Now she’s come to the Kincaid family’s ranch in Colorado to find her lost husband.

Callie isn’t a long-suffering woman. Once she knows her husband is alive, she wants to kill him. She’s not even close to forgiving him for abandoning her.

Then more trouble shows up in the form of a secret Seth’s pa kept for years. The Kincaid brothers might lose their ranch if they can’t sort things out. It’s enough to drive a man insane–but somehow it’s all making Seth see things more clearly. And now that he knows what he wants, no one better stand in his way.
