I like each book of Mary Connealy's that I read a little more than the last. Those two will be great fun to read about in the future! Though Fired Up is ostensibly Dare and Glynna's story, my favorite parts were those surrounding Jonas's sister Tina and Vince.
I did feel like the conflict with Glynna's son wrapped up a little too neatly (the shift in his feelings toward Dare happened quite suddenly and conveniently), but everything else in this book worked marvelously. And I'm happy to say that while I had my suspicions, I wasn't sure who the "bad guy" was until Connealy revealed it. The plot of Fired Up is completely engaging, and I enjoyed watching the Regulators piece together the puzzle of who was out to get Dare. My take: Fired Up continues the story of the Regulators-Luke, Dare, Vince, and Jonas-that started in Swept Away, book one of the Trouble in Texas series. Are Flint's cronies still plotting revenge? Is Glynna's son engaged in a misguided attempt to protect his mother? Is a shadowy outsider still enraged over past injustices? And can Dare survive long enough to convince Glynna to take another chance on love? But things really get out of hand when someone plunges a knife from Glynna's diner into Dare's back. Glynna can't help but notice that danger follows Dare wherever he goes.
The men in Broken Wheel, Texas, are so desperate for home cooking that they seem willing to overlook dried-out beef and blackened biscuits. She plans to support her small family by opening a diner-never mind that cooking is not her greatest talent. She wants to believe Dare Riker is as decent as he seems, but she's terrified to lock herself into another marriage. Now her husband, Flint, is dead, and she's determined to care for her son and daughter on her own.
Glynna Greer came west as a mail-order bride and ended up in a bad situation. Whoever the culprit is, he or she seems really fired up, and Dare can't let his guard down for a moment, which is a challenge, since right now he's trying to win the heart of the recently widowed Glynna. It may have something to do with the traitors he dealt with during the Civil War, or it might be related to the recent incident with Flint Greer and the ranch. About the book: Dare Riker is a doctor who saves lives, but someone seems determined to end his.
