wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5WONDERFUL! So glad I finally read this, wish I'd done it sooner.March 28, 2016wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Stuck Together, Trouble in Texas Series #3 - eBook.I started this series a LONG time ago, like about three years ago. But as my TBR pile grew it never seemed to make it to the top, I finally 'picked' it. After reading a few pages I was right back into the story of the Andersonville Four, as I think of them. The book has a lot of action along with the direction Vince's life and continues the story of how four prisoners become brothers. I really enjoyed this book as well as the series, Mary always does a fantastic job of writing. I would recommend that you read this series starting with the first book and yes, I highly recommend this book/series.

Trouble in Texas Book 3
By Mary Connealy
When Tina Cahill moved to Broken Wheel, Texas, to live with her big brother Jonas, she determined to shut down the saloon. But Tina's determination just might not be enough. After all there a few woman and children living in Broken Wheel to help her in her campaign.
But Tina is good at one thing - stirring up trouble. And she's determined to stir up as much as she can, even if it means dragging Jonas and his friends into it with her. If she can just convince Broken Wheel's unpaid sheriff Vince Yates to take her part - she knows that she'll get things changed quick.
But Vince has problems of his own, what with his family making a surprise visit. And then Lana Bullard is still a prisoner that he can't figure out what to do with. And Tina is starting to become his biggest problem, especially where his heart is concerned. Vince has a secret that makes him push away any chance of love, but Tina has a way of getting under a man's skin. But somehow this little pest has managed to make her way into his heart and he's fighting it all the way.
But when Vince needs help he has to call on his friends and somehow he and Tina seem to keep getting stuck together. They're both determined to somehow make it through this crisis with their hearts intact though it is growing more difficult as they discover that the other does have some admirable traits after all.
This is the final book in the Trouble in Texas series. In this book we get to learn more about Vince and Tina. Both of them have major family issues that have had a lasting impact on them. Vince fears that he will take after his parents - leaving him as unfit a parent as they both were. Tina suffers from fears of rejection, as she has had the people in her life leave her behind.
When a series of crisis break-out Vince must decide which one takes precedence even if upsets his friends in the process.
All in all readers of this series should be delighted. I would have liked an ending a little more fleshed out though it was well concluded and should satisfy series fans. Historical fiction with a generous splash of romance, a jail break, a missing person, and a possible war with the Indians - get ready for some Old West excitement!
I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher Bethany House through their blogger program in exchange for my honest review. -
TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Rollicking good fun in old Texas!July 25, 2014TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5I was new to Mary Connealy's writing when I read the first book in this series, but I was hooked good from the start. There is nothing like a good western comedy, funny but never silly. Stuck Together is no exception, it's like watching a Christian version of McLintock!, complete with the mud fight!
I honestly can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed this book, and the whole series. I love the humor, the liveliness of the characters, the dusty settings, the subtle lessons woven into the storyline. My only disappointment is that this is the last book in the series, but I think I will console myself with some of the author's other books.
Maybe I've watched too many Westerns, or is that even possible? But Mary Connealy has done such a great job that I felt like I was right there with the characters, walking the dusty street, riding across the desert, and of course marching the picket line with Tina.
Stuck Together is the story of two people with a lot of baggage from the past. Both of them have a lot to work through in order to have a future, just as long as it's not together mind you. I really enjoyed the way the two of them snipped at each other, and everyone else as well, it was just too funny.
There is also a good western mystery thread woven through the story and leads to the climax of angry Indians, a shoot-out, and a cave with some secrets.
One of the things I really liked about this book was how everyone in Broken Wheel, especially Vince, were kind and loving with Mrs. Yates's growing confusion and lack of memory. Knowing someone with similar issues made those sections of the story especially poignant for me.
Stuck Together is one of the best Christian westerns I have read and I highly recommend it if you like Mary Connealy's books, historicals, or just a good Texas story.
