About Swept Away
When a cowboy focused on revenge encounters a woman determined to distract him, there's going to be trouble in Texas!
Swept
away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy
MacNeil isn't terribly upset at being separated from the family who
raised her. All they've ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but
disoriented, she's rescued by Luke Stone...so unfortunately, there are
more chances to die in her immediate future.
Luke
is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the
men currently on the property won't let it go without a fight. Luke
plans to meet up with friends who will help him take back the land, and
since he can't just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she's going to
have to go with him.
But the more time Luke
spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself
thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up
his destructive path and be swept away by love?
My thoughts on Swept Away
This is the first in the Trouble in Texas series by Mary Coneally. Mary Coneally has a way of creating strong, yet feminine female characters that I love. Just like Callie in her book Over the Edge, the character Ruthy in Swept Away 
is a strong, capable woman with a caring heart and a tender way of dealing with others. I also loved seeing the vulnerable sides of both Luke and Ruthy when it came to them trying to figure out how they felt about each other. The book deals with the topic of abuse, both child abuse and spousal abuse, and has a good amount of fighting in it. If made into a movie, it would fit in the genre of romantic action, one that both men and women would enjoy. It is also important to note, that while this is a separate series from The Kincaide Brides (which Over the Edge belongs to), the characters do cross over, as Luke is Callie's brother.
I recommend this to those who enjoy books with lots of action and/or romance. It is set in the Wild West, but I would not say that it is heavy in Wild West culture. It is also highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed Over the Edge.
