The Reluctant Warrior

High Sierra Sweethearts, Book 3

By: Mary Connealy

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett

Union army officer Cameron Scott is used to being obeyed, but nothing about this journey to Lake Tahoe has gone as expected. He's come to fetch his daughter and nephew and seek revenge on the people who killed his brother. Instead he finds himself trapped by a blizzard with two children who are terrified of him and stubborn but beautiful Gwen Harkness, who he worries may be trying to keep the children.

When danger descends on the cabin where they're huddled, Cam is hurt trying to protect everyone and now finds Gwen caring for him, too. He soon realizes why the kids love her so much and wonders if it might be best for him to move on without them. When she sees his broken heart, Gwen decides to help him win back their affection - and in the process he might just win her heart, as well.

Great Book!

The Reluctant Warrior another great book! I can't wait for the next book. I'm so glad that I found the author.

Attention keeping

Interesting storyline and series with fun characters and Christian values. I’m excited to hear the 3rd book.

Well done being the next in series…paving the way for the future.

I liked the character development of the ex-military officer & the little sister and the settling of more folks around Lake Tahoe. The determined killer found his just reward…finally. And the other sister might just end up with the Pinkerton man!

Story left you hanging

I understand series that finish the story later but while this part was good, it left parts it should have completed in this portion. Otherwise I suggest waiting for all 3 parts before starting the series, which is a good one.

Great story line and clean romance

The story itself was great, lots of twists and turns that kept you at the edge of your seat. The writing itself though was frequently clunky, awkward and drawn out where it could have been more concise. The narration was good when speaking from the narrator's perspective but when she switched to the men's voices she sounded almost robotic. When reading the women's voices it was hit or miss. I really appreciate that it's a clean romance!
