A Man With a Past by Mary Connealy

Brothers in Arms Book #2

Genre: Historical Romance

Blurb:

Falcon Hunt awakens without a past, or at least not one he can recall. He’s got brothers he can’t remember, and he’s interested in the prettiest woman in the area, Cheyenne. Only trouble is, a few flashes of memory make Falcon wonder if he’s already married. He can’t imagine abandoning a wife. But his pa did just that–twice. When Falcon claims his inheritance in the West, Cheyenne is cut out of the ranch she was raised on, leaving her bitter and angry. And then Falcon kisses her, adding confusion and attraction to the mix.

Soon it’s clear someone is gunning for the Hunt brothers. When one of his brothers is shot, Falcon and Cheyenne set out to find who attacked him. They encounter rustled cattle, traitorous cowhands, a missing woman, and outlaws that take all their savvy to overcome. As love grows between these two independent people, Falcon must piece together his past if they’re to have any chance at a future. 

1) What did I like about the book?

I liked the fast pace of the story. There’s action around every corner, which made me not want to stop reading until the end. Falcon and Cheyenne’s personalities clashed from the beginning to create romantic tension in the relationship.

2) What did I least like about the book?

There was a lot of backstory at the beginning that made the story have a slow start for me. Since I had read the first book in the series, it seemed to be repetitive in this story. I understand why the author did it. It allowed the reader a chance to experience what happened in the first book from Falcon’s point of view, which eventually leads into the plot of A Man With a Past. 

3) How did I feel about the ending?

The ending was wrapped up nicely. There were unanswered questions about the overall plot that set up the third book.    

4) Who would enjoy this book?

Readers who enjoy a fast pace, adventure with romance trickled in will enjoy this book.
