Braced for Love by Mary Connealy

Left with little back in Missouri, Kevin Hunt takes his younger siblings on a journey to Wyoming when he receives news that he's inheriting part of a ranch. The catch is that the ranch is also being given to a half brother he never knew existed. Turns out, Kevin's supposedly dead father led a secret and scandalous life.

But danger seems to track Kevin along the way, and he wonders if his half brother, Wyatt, is behind the attacks. Finally arriving at the ranch, everyone is at each other's throats and the only one willing to stand in between is Winona Hawkins, a nearby schoolmarm.

Despite being a long-time friend to Wyatt, Winona can't help but be drawn to the earnest, kind Kevin--and that puts her in the cross hairs of somebody's dangerous plot. Will they all be able to put aside their differences long enough to keep anyone from getting truly hurt?

Another good book by Ms. Connealy.  This is the story of three brothers who didn't know each other existed.  It seems their father married three different women.  Then proceeded to either leave them or fake his death.  Then he actually did die and left a ranch to split between them.  But it seems to ranch had actually belonged to his wife.  Well it seems in the old days when a woman married, all her property became her husbands.  So here are three brothers inheriting property that Wyatt thinks is all his and his sisters.  While on the way to the ranch in Wyoming Kevin and his brother and sister are ambushed.  If not for his quick thinking, they would be dead.  As the story unfolds, more attempts on Kevin's life are made.  

I recommend this book because it is a light read with a little mystery, a little romance, and a little comedy all in one.  I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
