Fired Up (Trouble in Texas Book #2) by Mary Connealy – This series is on kindle unlimited. If they can keep Dare from getting killed, they still have to convince him to keep being a doctor. There is far too much sickness and chaos in the back end of Texas for him to become a rancher! Lol! Another wild adventure with the Regulators that will keep you eager for more! Happy Reading!

Fired Up! is the second book in the Trouble in Texas series. I haven't read the first and it was still quite enjoyable. This book is a great lesson in not judging a book by its' cover. By the look of the cover I thought it was going to be a cheesy romance novel but it was anything but. It was a funny, Western adventure with a great lesson to be learned about forgiveness and learning to trust again.,
Mary did a great job of making her characters super loveable and of leaving you guessing as to who was after the doctor. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to getting a chance to read the other books in the series. I highly recommend this read.

Glynna's has had husband trouble. Husband #2 is recently deceased, and it's a good thing too. Now Glynna's determined to be independent; opening the only diner in Broken Wheel will help with that. The main problem: Glynna can't cook. Afraid of serving under-cooked food, Glynna makes sure to cook everything until very well done.
Glynna's children are recovering from the violence the witnessed during Glynna's last marriage. Paul is angry, Janet has retreated into herself. Both need time to heal.
Dare is a doctor - well, kinda. He hasn't had any formal training. Just apprenticeship during the war, and what he's been able to read in books. Dare has decided that he's going to take up ranching. How hard can it be?? But in the mean while, people keep trying to kill Dare. Now Dare, and his friends Luke, Vince, and Jonas must try to figure out who wants him dead.
There are many of the same characters from the first book including Lana Bullard. I did not appreciate how the character of Lana was handled. She had her issues, but if you consider her back story (living as a prostitute) and all the trauma that is involved in that life, you know she should be been treated with respect and love, not disdain. I am disappointed that this book was published by a christian publishing house and it contains such blatant disregard for people's mental health.

A couple long rides already this month have given me a lot of reading time and it seems that I'm reading faster lately.

The nice thing about this series, is even though I read them out of order (oopsies) it still made sense!

Her best yet! I’m not sure how, but Mary Connealy keeps raising the bar for herself (though, I don‘t know how she‘ll top this one)! In case you can’t tell from the 5 stars, I loved this book! The characters were great and I loved the dialogue between them - it was so funny that a couple times I was laughing so hard I was crying!
Fired Up begins a month after Swept Away ends and continues the story of Dare Riker and Glynna Greer. As they deal with all the challenges that keep cropping up and attempt to solve the mystery of who is threatening Dare, you get to see their faith. As much as I enjoyed the humor and laughs, my favorite part was the faith aspect. It isn’t extremely prominent, but I still appreciated that the characters would stop to pray and consider how God would want them handle the situation.
I’m really excited to read the next book and find out what’s going to happen to this group of friends next!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance with a good dose of humor thrown in.
I received this book through The Book Club Network for my honest review, which I have given.

Review:
I wanted to love this book since i loved her Kincade Brides Series but this one fell flat for me.
The characters were interesting to read about and the storyline was fast paced which i loved BUT too much explaination about certain parts of the story bore me.
If it wasnt for the explaination i would of rated it higher.
