Book 3 in this series is packed with mystery and adventure.

It shows us what effect the past can have on the present

if we allow it. Like the first two books, it is a fantastic

read. A series you will want to read from start to finish.

Since receiving the letter from Callie, his wife that he didn't remember having, Seth Kincaid or one of his brothers had been riding to meet every stagecoach coming to town because she hadn't put in the letter when she would arrive.

Little did he know that the 'man' fighting off robbers in an overturned stagecoach was his wife. When Callie saw Seth she wanted to kill him as much as she wanted to kill the robbers. After all he took off and left her without a word. Luckily some help came and they managed to fight off the thieves then Seth took Callie to the doctor as she had many wounds from fragments of the stagecoach. She was a fighter this one!

Once back in town Seth meets up with some of the other passengers and discovers Cassie has a baby boy, his baby boy, another thing he didn't remember. After Callie was treated by the doctor and rested overnight, Seth gets another surprise for himself, he discovers that he has a half-brother, and he is none to pleased about that. Cassie steps in and insists Heath go 'home' with them. Needless to say this is not a pleasant ride, a winter storm is about to hit, an injured wife who seems to despise him and an unwanted brother.

Things don't go any smoother once they reach the Kincaid property, they soon find that they are being watched and followed you might say by the thief that is looking for the diamonds that Julia's father, Audra's first husband, had stolen from him.

Why did Cassie look him up if she hated him so and why did Heath look the Kincaid brothers up if he wanted nothing to do with them? Was it just to cause turmoil for the Kincaids? What will happen when Jasper actually catches up with them?

Mary continues to keep the reader interested enough that it's almost impossible to put the book down. This was a very intriguing series and when she talks about the caves you almost feel like you are right down in there with the characters. If you are claustrophobic I would think you'd be having a hard time breathing, sometimes I was just about there.

A great series that I would highly recommend.

How can you completely forget that you're married? Or that you have a son? Well that's exactly what is happening to Seth Kincaid, the youngest of the Kincaid brothers who suddenly finds himself at the scene of a stagecoach robbery. Only Seth is the one being shot at. When more men arrive from Colorado City with the sheriff, the learn that the only occupant remaining in the stagecoach is a woman, named Callie who was defending the coach against the robbers who already shot both the driver and his partner.

When Seth finds out the woman in the coach is his long-forgotten wife Callie, he immediately picks up right where he left off, carrying for her injuries and learning he has a son, Connor that was rescued by the parson when he left to go find help during the robbery. Now Callie is hailed as a hero by the town for saving the lives of the men from the stage coach but she only wants answers to why Seth left her and never came back. But Seth has been having many lapses in memory and that is why he is living on the land provided to him by the remaining Kincaid brothers, Rafe and Ethan in his own cabin. This way they can watch over him but still allow him to live an independent life.

Only what will they say when they learn that Seth has a family that has come calling for him?

In the Kincaid Bride Series by Mary Connealy, Over The Edge is the third novel that digs deeper into the lives of each of the Kincaid brothers with this one detailing Seth's life a little more. The brothers lives and those of their families still remain at stake when a man is still looking for them, Henry Jasper Duff who he believes has his money that was stolen by Wendell Gilliland. Now Jasper has had to live on the run hiding with his wife Bea, from those that he owes a great deal of money to from his opium trades. No matter how much Bea tries to convince him to forget the money, Jasper is just bidding his time until he can corner the brothers and get back what he believes belongs to him.

I received Over The Edge compliments of Bethany House Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for my honest review. Having read the previous two in this series, Out of Control and In Too Deep, I couldn't wait to read this one to get to know Seth Kincaid more. Having experiences PTSD from the Civil War, Seth at times has the mind of a much younger man who sees things in a much simpler format, being more spontaneous in his actions and a bit impulsive at times without thinking things through. He also suffers from horrible nightmares which Callie still remembers that border more on night terrors. I couldn't wait to see where the money has been hidden or if there is a stash of money since it has been the conflict that runs through the other two novels in the series and keeps the family's constantly looking over their shoulders for the next threat on their lives. I can easily rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars and if you truly love a great Christian Western Romance with a touch of suspense added, then you will LOVE this series.

For a wild, Wild West story, Mary Connealy in Over the Edge, has caught the complete picture! A stagecoach holdup, gun-slinging gunmen, a gun-slinging woman (yes, you read that right!), ranches, cattle herding, a forgetful, crazy-acting husband, and more.

Mary has a real handle on the scenarios, and she makes you feel like you're right there in the middle of the action! The stagecoach holdup was phenomenal in detail, particularly with a woman gunslinger aboard. That woman being Callie Kincaid.

Callie's relationship with her new-found husband, Seth, leaves room for wonderment and romance. She has to deal with his abandonment shortly after their marriage, his lack of memory and his trustworthiness for the future. It's touching, yet unnerving with Callie's strong will. Seth wants to make amends, but Callie would rather shoot him. In fact, her name for Seth initially was 'cowboy.'

The relationships between the brothers are typical for a rowdy bunch of boys and Mary brings in her typical humor to their stories. The additional, unknown, Kincaid brother, Heath, upsets the apple cart for the older Kincaid brothers. But through Heath, they learn more about their family than they figured out on their own. Much heartache had caused a dysfunctional family life for the three older men and Heath.

Danger has lurked for the Kincaid family ever since the two older men married the Gilliland sisters. Their father had stolen some goods from some thieves, and they would return unexpectedly to search for the goods. The author pulled in the suspense and danger at just the precise time, bringing closure to years of torment for the three older men.

The West was wild, with gunmen who ignored the rules, and not enough lawmen to control a whole lot of what happened. You took your life into your hands if you traveled that far west, but the big open skies and mountains were home to the Kincaids. Pick up Mary's book for a great adventure and learn about forgiveness, family commitment, love, trust and the end results of greed.
