REVIEW: FIRE AND ICE BY MARY CONNEALY

I thoroughly enjoyed this rom-com western. The Rocky Mountain horse ranch setting made a lovely backdrop and the tale of how Bailey and Gage discovered they were perfect for each other made me laugh several times. His hilariously awkward proposal and his horrible mother were particularly amusing. The pre-existing plot of Bailey and her sisters dressing up as men and fighting in the Civil War to please their selfish lunatic of a father strained credibility, but Mr. Wilde Sr made a surprisingly real villain. All action sequences--in which a mysterious person attempts to murder Gage--were exciting and the conclusion was great. Recommended to anyone looking for a fun romance read. Bailey and Gage were a lovable couple, perfectly geared for fans of the Mary Connealy's ditzy, madcap genre.

I was given this book by Bethany Publishers in exchange for a review.
