On the opening pages of Long Time Gone, by MaryConnealy, you will see Justin Boden in a rush to get his brother, Cole, back to the ranch, after he has been gut shot. Cole needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. The only thing that has Justin concerned is that he must leave his sister, Sadie, behind with just Seth Kincaid on the lookout for her!
Once the doctor arrives on the scene, he brings along Angie DuPree, from the orphanage, to assist him. Angie had caught Justin's eye as she entered town; however, now Justin is distracted by Sadie announcing that she wants to marry Heath. Justin is thrown off again when he learns that Angie is going to stay overnight to keep an eye on Cole with the doctor. You soon have the sense that something may soon be developing between Angie and Justin!
Once Cole seems to be on the mend, Justin must turn his focus to determining where the threat to his ranch is originating. This is a fast-paced tale to follow until the final page!
I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for my unbiased review.
