Wow! What a sensational ending Mary Connealy penned for her readers in the finale of her A Western Light series. The gripping slow-building plot throughout this three-book series came to a mind-blowing climax in Into the Sunset. Connealy, with her phenomenal storytelling of Christian historical Western romances, kept me totally engaged throughout the entire series. I highly recommend the entire A Western Light series, and if you are a fan of Mary Connealy, this series is definitely a must-read!

In Into the Sunset, Eugenia (Ginny) Rutledge, ready to prove her sanity, leaves the hidden canyon surrounded by those who have kept her safe for the past four years from her malicious husband, Thaddeus Rutledge. He has been after her ever since she escaped from the insane asylum, which he unjustly committed her to in order to get control of her inheritance.

 Ginny is joined on her quest by friends Maeve O’Toole and Dakota Harlan, who are both fleeing tumultuous issues. I was thrilled with the return of Judge Nell Armstrong Nolte and her family from The Laws of Attraction. Justice of the Peace Nolte answers the call for a case in Cheyanne and gets much more than what she was expecting, as more than one plot unfolds.

I always enjoy reading Connealy’s books in which she combines amazing characters, friendship, romance, the grace of God, danger, and an adventure that will keep you totally enthralled from beginning to end. Connealy, not only kept me rapidly flipping the pages in Into the Sunset an engrossing dangerous adventure story, but she also touched my heart with three romances. Yes, I said three, but you will have to read the book to find out more. A Western Light series is best read in order from beginning to end for the best enjoyment. Plus, each book ends in overarching trouble, which is solved in the future stories. 

A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Bethany House via NetGalley through Interviews & Reviews. I was not obligated to write a favorable review, and all opinions are my own.
