    About the Book:

    Tina Cahill, newly arrived from the East, is determined to get the saloon in Broken Wheel, Texas, closed for good. To that end, she pickets outside the place every afternoon. Unfortunately, so far no one has paid any attention.

    Vince Yates earned the nickname "Invincible Vince" because of his reputation for letting absolutely nothing stop him. Not his tyrant of a father. Nor the injuries he suffered in the Civil War. Nor the fact that he is Broken Wheel's only attorney and sheriff yet has no law degree.

    But Vince is about to face his biggest challenge yet: his past has just caught up with him. His father, mother, and the sister he didn't know he had show up in Broken Wheel without warning. His father is still a schemer. His mother is suffering signs of dementia. And his surprise sister immediately falls for one of Vince's best friends. Vince has a lot of people to take care of, and Tina doesn't approve of how he's handling any of them. But with almost all the other men in town married off, Vince finds himself stuck with feisty Tina over and over again. Of course, Tina is the prettiest woman he's ever seen, so if he could just get her to give up her causes, he might go ahead and propose. But he's got one more surprise coming his way: Tina's picketing at the saloon has revealed a dark secret that could put everyone Vince loves in danger.

    My Review:

    Broken Wheel's lawyer and lawman, Vince Yates is in for a rode awakening, when his wretched father arrives on his doorstep. Most would think after not seeing your parents for many, many years that it would be a happy reunion but not so in Vince's case. His scheming father even brings his sick mother and his mistresses daughter. But even though this man says he is here for a visit as always he leaves---only this time he leaves Vince with these two women that he barely knows.

    Tina Cahill, is Broken Wheel's picketer and chef at Glynna's Cafe. Although the people of the town love her and enjoy her cooking, they could care less if she succeeds in her cause. Shots are fired which interrupts her trying to show support for her cause.

    As always Mary Connealy can give you a gun-fight, a jail break and a missing person all rolled into a sure fire hit!

    **Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Bethany House.

    Connealy's dry wit gets me every time. Humour lurks everywhere, even in the midst of a knock-down, drag-out fight. Dialogue is as rapid-fire as the action, liberally laced with levity. The author's unique turn of phrase, the way she ends one scene and starts another, is a delight to read. I just devoured this book!

    Sparks started to fly between Tina and Vince in book two of the Trouble in Texas series, and their rocky romance sizzles to a satisfying conclusion in this one. Not until they've nearly killed each other first, of course. :-) And bonus -- there are as many touching moments as there are funny ones. Connealy tackles some difficult subject matter -- all revolving around the need to accept who you are in the moment as you trust God's greater plan for your future.

    Fans of the Trouble in Texas series will be happy to get more than just a glimpse of all their favourite characters. Stuck Together is the grand finale of a sensational series.

    Mary Connealy does it again! How does she keep on writing such fantastic books, time after time after time? Every time I begin one of her delightful cowboy comedies, I burst out laughing! Loudly! She has the unique ability to just create the most wonderful and wacky characters.

    But at the same time, she creates characters who let God rule their lives. I will never tire of reading her books. I'd snatch them off the press while they're still hot if I could!

    This time, she had one of her characters worrying about what would happen in the future with a certain problem. I, too, had been doing just that. The advice one of her charactes gave to the one who'd been worrying was just what I needed to hear from God! God is good like that, ministering to His children through others. I'm so glad Mary wrote this book, if only for that reason, but so many others, too.

    Now I have to wait a long time for another book. Oh wait! She has another one in September! Yay!

    In Stuck Together by Mary Connealy, Tina Cahill is determined to get the town saloon to close, and though she spend much of her free time picketing the establishment, no one in the town seems to pay any attention to her. But Vince Yates notices Tina, and has for a long time. Then Vince's rathe shows up and leaves his mentally deteriorating mother and his sister, and Vince has more on his plate than he can handle. If he could just get past his fear that he might turn out like his parents, he might propose to Tina!

    This book was just a fun, slightly humorous read! I liked Tina's character, and I thought her stubbornness was amusing. I thought the development of the romance between Tina and Vince was sweet, even though the characters were mostly confused about or trying to avoid their feelings through most of the book.

    The story line flashes back and forth between Vince and Tina and Vince's friend, Luke. Since this is the third book in this series, I think I would understand and appreciate that part of the plot better if I had read the other two books first. Connealy makes several references to events that I assume occurred in the other two books, so if you were interested in reading this book, I might suggest picking up the first two books to fill in the gaps.

    Overall, I enjoyed the book, especially the quirky, colorful characters. The plot was interesting enough, even though I hadn't read the other books before picking up this one. If you like light-hearted western romances, I'd say this might be one to check out.

    Note: I received this book for free from Bethany House in exchange for this review. This is my honest opinion.

    Although this book is the third one of a series, it reads independently very well. By the time I finished Stuck Together, I knew enough about the back story of the supporting characters to realize I wanted to read their stories too. This author is new to me, but I enjoy her writing style enough that I look forward to finding the first two books in this series to catch up.

    The reader opens up chapter one and jumps in with both feet into a hilarious account of a skirmish outside the town's saloon. The account may just make you reminisce about a Laurel and Hardy comedy routine. And to think it was all started by the diminutive Tina as she picketed outside the bar in protest of the liquor sold there. From that point on, the pace does not slacken as we read about the little town of Broken Wheel, Texas.

    When circumstances kept throwing Vince Yates and Tina Cahill together, both silently fought their demons to keep an emotional distance. But it seemed God had other plans for them.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous undertones all throughout the book. The author used it to bring balance to some of the serious issues Vince and Tina had to deal with. One moment we are laughing over some witty conversation, while the next Vince is feeling the pain of a mother who had forgotten who he was.

    Besides the humor, there are other things I liked about this

    story. First, I enjoy a good historical fiction that's set in the old west. It affords the reader a good adventure tale, with plenty of action, conflict and resolution. The author uses these conflicts to demonstrate character traits that the reader can appreciate, such as courage, initiative, intelligence, problem solving, kindness, and determination. And the circumstances also serve to improve a person's inner character as they work their way through their problems. This is true in Vince's case, since he needed to resolve within himself just who he was in God's eyes.

    In addition to adventure and action, this is a good clean

    romance without the foul language we sometimes see in

    romances today. The men are rugged but decent. The women are hard working individuals who are not shy about pitching in, yet refined enough to be feminine. The few children in the story were not holy terrors. As unrealistic as some may think this is, it is written well and feels just right. I highly recommend this book.
