About the Book Aiming for Love

Book: Aiming for Love

Author: Mary Connealy

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: October 2, 2019

Josephine Nordegren is one of three sisters who grew up nearly wild in southwestern Colorado. She has the archery skills of Robin Hood and the curiosity of the Little Mermaid, fascinated by but locked away from the forbidden outside world–a world she’s been raised to believe killed her parents. When David Warden, a rancher, brings in a herd much too close to the girls’ secret home, her older sister is especially frightened, but Jo is too interested to stay away.

David’s parents follow soon on his heels, escaping bandits at their ranch. But his father is wounded and needs shelter. Josephine and her sisters have the only cabin on the mountain. Do they risk stepping into the world to help those in need? Or do they remain separated but safe in the peaks of Hope Mountain?

My Thoughts on Aiming for Love:

This is the first book in a new series by Mary Connealy.  I have loved all the books I’ve read by her before and this was no different.  Great book and an easy to follow read.

I really enjoyed the storyline for this book and can’t wait to continue the series to follow the other sisters.  We’ve got almost a fairy tale story but with such fun thrown in that, I forget I’m reading a book.  It’s like I’m part of the story and I can’t wait to see what the next page brings.  Life gets sad when you have to stop reading and start going back to your own life and the dreaded dishes!

Jo is a sweet and fun, inquisitive character.  She’s a great one to follow.  I loved learning more about her as the book goes on.

The storyline is unique and I’ve never read a book like this one.  I really enjoyed it.  David is sweet and I fell in love with the family.  But can they escape the trouble that follows them?  Can they keep these girls safe and still somewhat apart from the world?

I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series to come out and see the stories of the next two sisters play out.  Where will they go?  What will they do?  Will they find love?

Of course, I can’t tell you too much about Jo and David and their story because I don’t want to give it away and make you feel like you don’t need to read the book.  Give it a read!  Then find me and we can chat!  This is a great story and it’s one I wouldn’t mind reading again and again. 

Plus it’s one I would add to the shelf that my teenage daughters can read.  If you’ve read my reviews before you know that I like to add whether I would let my teens read the book or not.  Anything by Mary Connealy tends to go in the my teen can read pile.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.  All opinions expressed are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Mary

What it would do to someone to run wild from nearly their earliest memory?

What if three young girls had the basic skills to survive a rugged life but no adults to guide them?

Would they grow up to be a completely odd and untamed version of themselves, or the truest, in some ways most honest version?

I wanted to explore that idea: wild children, tough young women, afraid of the invading world, but lonely, too. So I created the plot for my Brides of Hope Mountain series by mixing the three little girls who’d grown up wild on the top of a mountain with some fairy tale ideas.

Book one, Aiming for Love, is Josephine Nordegren’s story. I had this vision of Ariel the mermaid seeing a man for the first time when strangers invade the high valley she lives in with only her two sisters. Curiosity is her besetting sin, or so she’s always been told. She has wilderness skills, mainly in the form of owning a bow and arrow and understanding wild animals, but for the first time, she is drawn to a man.

Jo needs to be tamed, or Dave, the man she can’t stop watching from in the woods, needs to learn the ways of the wild because they’re out of place in each other’s worlds.
