Description
Seth Kincaid remembers almost everything... except getting married. Seth Kincaid survived a fire in a cave, but he hasn't been the same since. Then he fought in the Civil War and returned to Colorado crazier than ever. Somewhere along the line, it appears Seth got married. Oh, he has a lot of excuses, but his wife isn't too happy to find out Seth doesn't remember her. Callie isn't a long-suffering woman. When Seth disappeared, she searched, prayed, and worried. Now she's come out west to wrangle her long-lost husband. Seth is willing to make amends. Callie is more interested in shooting him. Can they rekindle their love before one of them goes over the edge?

This is the third "Brides" book for the Kincaid brothers but another brother appeared so perhaps another book? I did not have the opportunity to read the first two and it might have helped me a bit with the enjoyment of this one - there were many references to what came before and I felt a bit lost
Nonetheless - Callie Kincaid is on the stagecoach with her young son when they are attacked by bandits. She is a crack shot and manages to hold them off long enough for the Parson and his wife to escape with her son to run to Colorado City to get help. She is coming to town to find her brothers in law and her no account husband. He ran off one day never to return. He does not even know he has a son.
Well, she finds the rat - when he comes to her aid. She shoots at him but she is so badly injured she misses. OK - she misses intentionally. She wants to find out why he ran off but she comes to find out he doesn't even remember her! He does rush her in to the town doctor to get her injuries taken care of and so starts the slow reconciliation of Callie and Seth.
It was a very sweet tale with a strong - sometimes overbearing - female protagonist. The love story between Callie and Seth plays out within a plot point that has carried over from the previous two books about a very bad man looking for a fortune that was stolen from him by the former husband (now dead) of one of the Kincaid boys' wives. There is also a subplot about a new brother and what a rat of a man the Kincaid father turned out to be.
It all ties up very nicely and it was a pleasant way to spend a few hours. The characters were simple, stayed in their defined roles and the story was enjoyable. A lovely, light read.

This is the third book in the series "The Kincaid Brides" and anything that Mary Connealy writes is always a great read alone with some laughts. I want to thank The auther and Bethany House Publishers for sending me this book free for me to review.
When Callie though at Seth had died she tried to go
When she found her run a-way husband she was ready to shoot him, but knew she could not do that, so she tried everything she could to get even. But you know God does not like for us to get even, we are supposed to forgive and forget which is so hard to do. Will Callie forgive and go alone with her life at the ranch or will she just pick up and leave?
You will find this book funny, a little mystery and a whole lot of love to go alone with it.
I have read the first two books and I loved this one.

Another fun-loving romantic story in the life of the Kincaid brothers. This story is centered around the youngest brother, Seth Kincaid (or is he really the youngest???). I love the way the author starts the book out from the very first pages with a captivating and exciting scene that captures your
I liked the whole series and how each story tied into the next one. Yes, you could read it as a stand alone, but you will miss out on alot if you don't read the whole series in order. The covers on the books also were a big draw for me and very well done. But most importantly the story line was full of characters that made you smile, espcially the Kincaid brothers.

attention right away. Callie Kincaid has set off with her infant son to find the Kincaid brothers and maybe find her long-lost husband so she can "do him in" for just walking away from their marriage. Seth has survived alot in his life; a fire in a cave when he was young, the Civil War and all his battle scars, but one thing he will have to learn to survive is the temper he discovers in the wife he forgot he was married to. Callie is a woman who can take care of herself, but is longing for her husband to remember her. She is a lady who says what she feels and doesn't leave anyone guessing on what she is thinking. This man and wife are a joy to watch as they learn to know and love each other all over again.I liked the whole series and how each story tied into the next one.

As with most of author Mary Connealy's books; I was captivated from the first chapter. I have read the second book in this series ~ In Too Deep, and since reading that great book have been wondering about Seth's history. Finally getting to really know more about Seth, and what happened to him; made
The main characters were likeable and funny at times. I loved being reaquainted with some of my favorite characters from the other book(s) in this series. The descriptions of the surroundings really made it easy for me to imagine the settings that the characters were in. Well-written and fast-paced, easy to read and hard to put down; overall another great book I highly recommend!

A few months ago, I was able to read the first book in The Kincaid Brides series, Out of Control and I was really disappointed with it. The main female character in that one, Julia Gilliland, annoyed me beyond belief. I really, REALLY disliked her character. I was so disappointed by the book,

especially because Mary Connealy is on of my favorite authors and has written so many fun novels in the past. That being said, I was a little nervous about reading Over the Edge. While I found it better than Out of Control, I still am not that impressed with Over the Edge. Not only was something about it a bit “off”, but I had to endure the character of Julia Gilliland yet again. I really wanted to like this series, but of the two books I’ve read, I’m just left feeling disappointed. I think I’ll skip the second book in the series that I haven’t read yet. I’m not giving up on Mary Connealy yet, but hope future books aren’t duds like these two.NOTICE:

I received a free copy of Over the Edge by Mary Connealy from Bethany House Publishers to review. Didn't have time to read it at first with school and kids. The past weekend (September 15, 2012), my youngest son got sick and had to go to the ER and I brought the book with me. The book

is amazing. I love the story of Callie and Seth Kincaid and their son Conner. The story was very riveting and I was really into the book. The book started off with a shoot-out. The shoot out led to Callies meet up with her long-lost husband, who does not remember her. Seth has a ranch, family goes to ranch. Enter Jasper. Jasper had his money stolen by one of Seth's brother's wives. He wants his money back and thinks the money is on the ranch. Read the rest of the story to find out what happens.This is a great book. 5 stars I recommend it.

Mary Connealy is a new author to me who writes "Romantic Comedy with Cowboys". How's that for a tag line? Love it!
Over the Edge - Imagine a bone jarring stagecoach moving along the road when suddenly the horses speed up, the guys up top are yelling and thundering hooves are coming up fast... and
Loved this book! It's fast moving as Mary's books seem to be (read my review for Swept Away here), very well written, easy to read and fun to boot. I loved the various settings in Over the Edge and especially liked the part about the Massive Caves and the story about Seth's background. (I wouldn't mind a story featuring their dad & the brothers growing up - it would be very interesting.) Mary Connealy will definitely be an author I'll be watching and I'll be keeping her books on my shelf for a long while.

who just happens to be the only one that can save everyone? Callie to the rescue! She's a hard, angry, sharp-shooting take charge type of gal - and she has a baby to save from the bandits attacking them. And when she's done - she's got a man to kill!

I have really loved the Kincaid Brides series. Book three features Seth Kincaid, the youngest of the brothers. I loved how Mary Connealy developed the character of Seth. She took him through what happened in his past and brought him into the future, forcing him to work out his issues, with the help
What really made this series so special for me was how the brothers stuck up for each other through thick or thin even though they fought and bickered at times. I won't spoil it but this book not only is filled with action but with even a few surprises.
