Introduction

After having read the first two books in the series, Tried and True and Now and Forever, when the opportunity came to read and review this one, I wanted to read it. Though Mary Connealy isn’t my favorite author, Bailey and Gage were the two characters I most liked in the other two books, especially with all the hints about Bailey.

Characters

1/1

Bailey and Gage were everything I hoped they would be. They were real and they both had issues to deal with, including a mystery and a controlling mother.

Dialogue

1/1

Everything that was said seemed to fit each character. When Gage goes to Bailey’s cabin after everyone was snowed in for the winter, the whole dialogue there was captivating.

Plot/storyline

.5/1

There were a few minor things that bugged me about the plot and storyline. One of the main things is how much Bailey does NOT tell Gage that I think she really should have.

Over-all writing quality

.75/1

As with most of the books I’ve read by the author, this one seemed to have a little something missing at the end, but it wasn’t as abrupt as others. Although, I think the plot/storyline issue I have could have been resolved by a little less rushing at the end.

Un-put-down-ability

.75/1

It was hard to put down the book. There was always something happening like a rockslide, a dark ride through the woods with wolves, a blizzard that almost kills one of the main characters, and a really odd proposal. Mrs. Connealy definitely knows how to build the suspense.

Conclusion

4/5

This is my favorite of the three books in the Wild at Heart series. It was a good read and gave me a new perspective on a few things.

Note: I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
