About The Book
Can they risk giving in to the attraction between them while their lives are on the line?
If widowed seamstress Nell Armstrong has to make one more pair of boring chaps for the cowboys in her tiny Wyoming town, she might just quit the business altogether! So meeting Brand Nolte, a widower struggling to raise three girls on his own, seems like her dream come true. Brand has no idea how to dress the girls properly, and Nell finally has a chance to create beautiful outfits while also teaching the girls to sew.
But Nell is much more than a seamstress, and the investigative skills and knowledge she picked up alongside her late lawman husband soon become critical when a wounded stagecoach-robbery survivor is brought to town. As danger closes in from all sides, Nell and Brand must discover who has a target trained on them before it’s too late.
“A richly detailed adventure that captivates till the end.”–Publishers Weekly on Forged in Love
My Thoughts
The Laws of Attraction is the second book in the Wyoming Sunrise series.
Mary Connealy writes with such authenticity; you could see the things in the book actually taking place. I’ve never been to Wyoming, but I would really love to visit there. The way she describes it, so beautiful with wide open spaces for that cowboy roping and riding.
Mary writes cowboy stories, that’s one thing you can count on in her books along with an intriguing story you’ll find very hard to put down. Thrown in you’ll always find robust adventures and a bit of lawlessness. I must commend Wyoming; it was a first in many things including giving women the right to vote and it also had the first public county library.
Nell, our female main character is a real go getter, she’ll stand up to anyone and will pitch in and do any job needed of her including being the first women to do many jobs formerly done by men. Now that’s a forward-thinking woman. Nell Armstrong is a widowed seamstress; she’s brought beautiful material with her to make the loveliest of dresses but with her hands full making chaps for the cowboys she really can’t.
When Brand Nolte’s daughters are made fun of in town, they tell him, and he knows it’s time for a change. See, he’s a widowed father with three lovely girls but he really is lost when it comes to knowing how to dress and style their hair. Nell is happy teach the girls to sew and she’ll make them some feminine dresses while they work for her paying off the cost of the dresses. The more time Nell spends with Brand and his daughters it has her thinking falling in love again may not just be a fading memory. I really enjoyed seeing Nell as such a forward-thinking woman for her time period. I just loved the sisters’ characters as well, especially Samantha. Samantha is the oldest and a very smart girl. Maybe we will see her story in a book sometime. I know I’d enjoy this.
