Toward the Dawn A Western Light #2 By Mary Connealy
Kat Wadsworth and Sebastian Jones have been hidden away in the canyon that has been a sanctuary for Ginny and Beth for months, and the isolation is starting to take a toll on them both.
But leaving the canyon's safety comes with risks. Kat's uncle still has control over her unless she is married. And Sebastian may have had someone trying to kill him; it was a bullet wound that brought him to the canyon (in a roundabout way). With the threat of Thaddeus Rutledge hanging over them, they need to take precautions to protect those they leave behind.
As Kat and Seb make their way back into the world, they must decide how they will live it. A marriage of convenience is necessary for both propriety and Kat's safety. This is the main focal point of the story, but we are offered glimpses of what is taking place in the canyon.
This is the second book in Mary Connealy's A Western Light series. It picks up several months after the conclusion of Chasing the Horizon. Unlike other books she's written, this series is more serious in both its tone and subject matter: greed and the utter lack of freedom women faced. Overall, this was a good read. The pacing kept the story moving. The characters were well-written, some of whom it was enjoyable to get to know better and others, like Thaddeus, not so much. This book will read better if you read the series in order, but it is possible to read and enjoy this title without reading the previous title. Perfect for fans of later 19th Century Historical Western Fiction.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book
Title: Toward the Dawn Despite trials that threaten their path forward, hope dawns for a future filled with love.
Kat Wadsworth and Sebastian Jones never imagined their lives would entwine so closely. Forced to flee on a wagon train from a vengeful uncle and an unknown gunman, they live in a hidden canyon with the family that rescued them. But as the days turn into months, they each have separate reasons for wanting to move back to society, and the best way to the independence they desperately crave might be through a marriage of convenience.PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Christianbook | Bookshop
