From the title of the book Ruthy MacNeil is the one swept away. She is dragged for miles down stream by a flash flood. Having her arm wedged in some wood saved her life.
Luke Stone is on his way home to redeem his property, when he stumbles upon a muddy mess of a girl, Rosie aka Ruthy. Because of her beautiful red hair Luke insists on calling her Rosie!! Others do also, but she is quick to correct them.
A vicious man by the name of Flint Greer, has stolen the S Bar S Ranch that was owned by his Father. He not only stole the ranch but is responsible for killing his Dad. Luke is not some young kid anymore, he is a survivor. He fought for the North during the Civil War, and was in Andersonville Prison, and has forged lasting friendships with a Preacher, a Doctor, A Lawyer, and a Texas Ranger. There all there waiting for him in Broken Wheel, TX, a small town, with not many people.
I found the faith of these people to be outstanding....even when they wanted revenge they listened to their Lord, and decided to do what was right! There was such compassion shown to Greer's wife and family, they wanted to help them no matter the cost.
I hope that in the next book there will be further updates, but this book was a keeper, and I didn't want it to end.

I received this book through the Revell Book Bogging Program, and wasn't required to give a positive review.

It is so much fun to read another book by Mary Connealy! I read and reviewed the first series The Kincaid Brides. Loved them!

This series, Trouble in Texas, is off like a shot with a spin-off of sorts. The main character is Luke Stone. He is the brother of Callie from the first series. I'm in love with this whole group of books. Luke is going home after years of being away. His fathers land has been stolen and his fathers killer is still living on the property. On his way to reclaim his land, Luke rescues a damsel floating in a river and brings her along on his quest.

Several of Luke's friends from the war have taken up residence in his hometown readying for his arrival to help reclaim the land. My favorite by far is Dare (the doctor) who I believe is the main character in the next book, Fired Up. I highly recommend this whole series! It just draws you in. I can't wait for the next book.

I got this book for my review and you can get awesome books for free too from Bethany House!

Enjoyable read. Western is not my favorite genre but I do enjoy reading this author's books.
