Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for sending me an early copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
I read all of Connealy books and have enjoyed most of them.
To finally escape the clutches of her controlling husband and the threat of being recommitted to an asylum, Ginny Rutledge enlists the help of her friends, Maeve O'Toole and Dakota Harlan. Fleeing their own tumultuous pasts, the group embarks on a journey to prove Ginny's sanity. However, as they confront the shadows they wish they could forget, danger looms from unexpected places.
In this action-packed series finale, Mary Connealy delivers a riveting tale of danger, romance, and second chances on the Western frontier.
I would recommend this for Christian fiction readers.

Connealy has done well with this series.
I feel like the character Maeve is a lot like me and doesn't like changes even though sometimes they can be good ones. I thought she was a cool character along with Beth Ginnys daughter and Ginny.
It upsets me the way Thaddeus treats her. Ugh. So glad he's NOT my husband.
Little bit of everything going on in this story and sometimes I feel like there's 3 different stories going on here.
But I will still read Connealys stories. She's an awesome adventure storyteller. I love how she brings her characters to life and teaches us many lessons that we can use in real life even in today's time. Especially the reminder of God's amazing love.
5 start from me as I still enjoyed this series. I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

For the most part I'm usually down for whatever new series Mary Connealy puts out- I wanted to like this series more than I did. I read the first two of the series over the last week in preparation for this one. I loved the idea of escaping the asylum, but the actual escape was a bit of a let down. But I will say this one had all the classic hallmarks I was looking for in her books. And it even had crossovers from some of our other favorite characters- Pinkerton agents, Favorite female Judge...

The series felt really familiar to me ( not in a bad way) and I realized afterwards that it felt that way because it was a combination of Lumber Baron's Daughters, High Sierra Sweethearts, Brides of Hope Mountain and Wyoming Sunrise- having already read those series, this felt like a rehash. I'm not disappointed, because I can see myself rereading these later- but it didn't grip me like I was hoping.

Good way to end the series. Certainly glad they decided to make the entrance to the canyon bigger! Also enjoyed having the characters from another series interact.
