Full of swoony moments, Love on the Range is a must read for historical romance fans.

I'd been looking forward to Molly and Wyatt's story since I got the first inkling that they might be paired in Braced for Love. I was ready. I was pumped.

And I was mostly pleased with what I received. There were many lovely moments. Just like the other books in the series, Wyatt and Molly had to share the stage with several others while Connealy wrapped up the thread of suspense. I enjoyed their interactions. I just would have preferred more development in the beginning, which is completely a personal preference.

Overall, this read was a great way to wrap up the series. I love these characters!

This book was sweet and clean. It was a bit slow for me at times, but overall it’s a good read and if you enjoy this author you will enjoy this book like her others.

This is the third book of the Brothers in Arms series, and I would definitely recommend reading them in order. Each book has its own wrap up and conclusion, but the overarching mystery doesn't get solved until this final book. The couples featured in the previous books play important roles in this story as well, so I liked having a good sense of their personalities and what they've been through.

Molly has been in the background a bit- taking care of the house, meals, and doctoring while the others are working the ranch and fighting their enemies. I loved how the author showed her frustration and pent-up anger over her situation and how she dealt with it. Molly comes into her own by attempting to leave the family for an outside job, which provided a real wake-up call to the brothers to realize her needs. Wyatt grows closer to her while recovering and doesn't want her to leave either. I appreciated that their romance was more slow to build than the others, giving them time and space to develop a relationship that is less impulsive and more purposeful. All the while, Cheyenne and Falcon are learning the identities of their mysterious enemies with the help of the Pinkerton agent and Molly and Wyatt's dangerous undercover investigation.

The pace of the book is somewhat jerky as the action races forward then slows when the siblings and spouses converse about their discoveries and next plans. Because there is usually a group of them talking things out and disagreeing over some parts, the conversations get a bit tedious, but it also does a great job of showcasing the different personalities and motivations. Kevin's wife Win from the first book carries the spiritual thread as she explored what it means to follow the Biblical admonition to honor your parents when one of them is not making good choices and hurting those he should be showing love to. It's a lesson all the siblings need as they reconcile themselves to the destruction left behind by the man who brought them all together in the end.

I am such a fan of Mary Connealy! She makes me laugh, she takes me on exciting adventures, and she never fails to challenge me with the powerful faith messages that are woven in her stories. Love on the Range is the third book in the Brothers in Arms series, and it gives the last Hunt brother his own chance to shine. Wyatt is hurt and needs taking care of, and who is better to do that than Molly Garner? Well, let me tell you, she proves that she's more than just the mild-mannered Molly who's cooked and cared for the household. This Molly has gumption and Wyatt gets to see it first-hand, when she decides that there's a life waiting outside this Hunt family.

What follows is a rip-roaring adventure filled with trouble, danger, twists and turns, but Connealy answers a lot of questions and offers readers a satisfying conclusion to this series. She shows that family love is powerful, even when that family unit doesn't fit the norm. If you enjoy cowboys, romance, family hi-jinks, and historical fiction, you need this book. Love on the Range is a keeper!

I absolutely love western historical fiction, especially set around the Civil War era, and this book did not disappoint! This story truly had it all, including humor from start to finish, three completely different brothers meeting for the first time, mystery, especially as to who was trying to kill the Hunts, as well as romance and adventure in spades. I loved how Kevin was so kind and capable, and I especially loved the devotion he had to his family. Winona was a perfect heroine, being a devoted friend, smart, industrious, and so likable. The romance between the two was fun to read, very appealing and the perfect amount. The secrets they each had kept you guessing how they would affect the relationship and added intrigue and mystery. The details were spot on and made the story come alive, especially the beautiful mountain setting. I truly can’t wait to read about the other brothers in this series, and I know I’m going to have a hard time deciding which one is my favorite!

I adored the first two books from Mary Connealy's Brothers in Arms series and was excited to get my hands on the newest release, Love on the Range. I loved it. Five plus stars.

Mary Connealy is one of my tried and true favorite western fiction writers. The way she writes her characters make you respect them, root for them, but also chuckle a little at their feistiness. I love the humor and sarcasm that is woven in that helps balance the intensity that often occurs while the hero, heroine, and their comrades are battling some big time baddies. There is also a thread of faith woven in the story, that I appreciate as one who loves Christian fiction.
In this third book in the Brothers in Arms series, the Hunt brothers, despite a rocky start in book one of the series, are learning to work together and depend on each other to figure out who is behind the acts of violence in their area. This series is a little different in that each book backtracks in time a little so that it focuses mostly on the perspective of each brother. Along with each brother, each lady in the "family" gets a turn sharing their perspective. It gave this series something special that I haven't read in Connealy's previous work.
I really enjoyed this series for the new aspects and the characterization that I know and love. I also appreciate that I don't have to wait forever for the pace to pick up...there's usually action right from the start. If you're a fan of a slow burn, there's a little of that, but I love that the author isn't shy about showing the fun and excitement of a fresh romance. If you're a fan of this genre, definitely go out and start from book one of this series!

"One thing I enjoy about reading a series like Brothers in Arms is learning about characters through more than just one book. I was looking forward to reading Molly and Wyatt's story...

I was quite surprised to see how plucky Molly was! In the previous stories, she seemed content to cook and take care of the house for her brothers and the family they inherited. No complaining, just serving and doctoring when needed. So when she decided to take matters into her own hands and go off to pose as a housekeeper to investigate her new sister-in-law's father, well, I was taken aback. I really enjoyed her courage and determination to find the underlying cause of things.

A minor theme that runs through the entire series addresses the topic of how to honor your father when his actions have been less than honorable. I appreciated the conclusion the characters came to in this regard...

And, wow! There were some twists that I didn't see coming! This series conclusion was quite revealing and as full of suspense as the others were. Be sure to read the entire trilogy in order or several things just won't make sense.

Readers who enjoy historical romantic suspense will want to read Love on the Range and the entire Brothers in Arms series.

Love on the Range is the last of Mary Connealy's Brothers in Arms series and it finishes this page-turning set of novels with a bang!

You'll see some of your familiar favorites from past series, the Hunt Brothers, in the book, but the main focus of the story is on Molly and Wyatt.

The storyline veers into seeking justice for some heinous acts of a person, gunfights, mixed with light and humorous moments, which Mary Connealy writes so very well.

I always enjoy any book by Mary Connealy because I know I am sure to find a good dose of her signature humor mixed in with a complex romance and usually plenty of action and suspense. Lately the author’s books have leaned somewhat away from her earlier comedic offerings and I have found quite a bit more mystery and suspense woven through her tales. I really like that. I do enjoy a story that makes me laugh but lately I find that over-the-top humor sometimes just wears me out.

Another final book of a series, Love on the Range features the last unmarried Hunt brother Wyatt and Molly Garner who has been left to care for him as he recovers from his injuries. Determined to never marry and suffer her mother’s fate, Molly fights her growing attraction to Wyatt. Readers will quickly recognize how this story will end.

Yet before that end is reached, there is ample action, danger, and mystery to distract the reader. I enjoyed seeing how the brothers, who were previously unknown to each other, developed strong and loyal relationships that made them a strong unit difficult to overcome. It was especially fun to see the unique traits that each of the men and women brought to the table that enabled them to do what needed done. It made me think of the one body described in 1 Corinthians 12.

Love on the Range can be enjoyed on its own but I do recommend reading the entire series in order to get the most from it. Another great series from Mary Connealy has reached the end. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for her readers next.

Love on the Range is the third book in Mary Connealy’s Brothers in Arms series. This is Wyatt and Molly’s story. I’ve been anticipating this story since book one and it was fun to finally get to know Wyatt and Molly.

Wyatt is a good guy, if frustrated over the bed rest he has needed. Molly is an incredibly strong woman, especially after all she’s been through. Her story, the full story emerges in this book and what a story it is. Wow. She’s had a tough road. I love how she seeks to see justice done, not for herself but for others, even those she may never meet.

While the tone is in the author’s usual historical rom-com spirit, she also delves into abuse and serial killers. I found it fascinating how these difficult topics were addressed in the context of Wyatt and Molly’s time in history. This book also does a great job of wrapping up the entire series.

If you haven’t read the first two books in the Brothers in Arms series, I recommend doing so before picking up Love on the Range. Reading all three together is definitely the best way to enjoy these books.

This is book three in the Brothers in Arms Series, however it is a stand alone book. You do miss a lot of history but it is briefly given so you are not lost. I love the writing style of Mary Connealy. She has a fun, spunky, action packed way of writing. I usually have a hard time putting her books down, and can not wait for the nest one. I fell in love with the Hunt brothers in book one, Braced for Love, and was glad to continue their journey.
This book we focus more on Wyatt Hunt and Molly Garner. We met both of them in book one and two. Even though the book does focus more on them, all the family is fully involved in this book. It is the conclusion of all three books. There is love, family, drama, mystery, suspense and more.
I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion.

Love on the Range is the third book in this series by Ms. Connealy, and I am sorry to see it end. I started to fall in love with this merry band of misfits as they are thrown together by a father who has kept so many secrets from his family or families.

I loved catching up with the characters to see what funny and dangerous situations they would find themselves in. I love the way this author crafts characters who you care about and what happens in their lives. This series is filled with unforgettable characters, a storyline that keeps the reader engaged and, in this book, a satisfying ending to this series.

The final book in the series about the Hunt brothers. Three brothers who didn't know that the others existed until their no account father died and left property to them in his will. The conclusion brought a lot of twists and turns to the story and more bullet wounds. The final book is Wyatt and Molly's story. I don't want to give anything away so there is lots of humor, as Mary has in all of her books, some romance, shooting, fighting, treachery and spiritual lessons are learned. Excellent

This is book 3. Can be read as a stand-alone but much better as the third book. I LOVE this author. Her stories always take hold and don’t let go.

Picking up right where the previous book left off, Wyatt and his brothers must band together to make a stand to protect their ranch.

The final book in Brothers in Arms Trilogy, this book ties it all together in a satisfying adventure that will keep you on the tip of your toes. I loved getting to know Molly and Wyatt better over the course of the book.

Molly is tired of being over looked, she is capable and smart, but feels like her skills are underutilized. She volunteers to go undercover for the Pinkertons to gather the missing evidence to bring down a criminal. I liked how Wyatt's protective side came out when she went undercover, and how he leans on his brothers for advice.

I loved how this book brings together all of the brothers in force, filled with familiar faces and brand new twists along the way. I liked the fast paced action, fantastic characters, faith and romance along the way. An excellent conclusion!

"And he'd have to track them down if he wanted something to do besides go charging back into the house and kissing Molly again. Right in front of her brother this time.
Oh, there was an idea fit to get a man shot."

This is a fantastic ending to what has quickly become my favorite series by Mary Connealy. I have loved reading Kevin and Falcon's stories and Wyatt's was a perfect conclusion. This one has it all, romance, danger, mystery, comedy and multiple jaw dropping moments(at least for me). In a nutshell, I loved this story and the whole series. When it comes time for me to pick my favorite 2021 reads, this entire series will be on it. That is how phenomenal I found this series. I am sorry that it's over!

I received this book from the publisher but also purchased my own audio copy on Audible. All thoughts are my own.
