About this ebook

Cowboys, Action, Humor, and History Collide in Connealy's Latest

When an explosion kills men and damages the CR Mining Company, the Bodens realize their troubles are not behind them as they thought. Shadowy forces are still working against them.

Cole Boden finds himself caught between missing his time back East and all that New Mexico offers. Sure he fights with his siblings now and then, but he does care for them. He enjoys running the mine and, when he's honest, he admits that Melanie Blake captures his interest in a way no other woman ever has.

Melanie has been a friend to the Bodens forever. A cowgirl who is more comfortable with horses and lassoes than people, she never expected to find herself falling for someone. Particularly for refined Cole Boden, a Harvard graduate who may not stay long at the ranch. She's determined, however, to help the Bodens finally put an end to the danger that's threatened all of them. But will putting herself in harm's way be more dangerous than anyone expected?

Ratings and reviews

This is book three (four if you count the prequel) in the Cimarron Legacy series. I have only read book two and now three and had no problem keeping up with what was going on, however I do believe I missed out on a lot of history and some good reading. Even though it is a stand alone book, Connealy gives you a lot of history in review so you do not necessarily need to read all the books to keep up, I think you will enjoy them all. This book focuses on Cole Boden, the eldest of the Boden children. When the mines are in trouble and someone is killing, they must band together and find the killer or killers before one of them is next. Mary Connealy has a fun, spunky way of writing. You really get to know her characters and what they are thinking. She weaves laughter, mystery, suspense and so much more into her novels. If you enjoy reading about good looking cowboys, romance, humor and action you will enjoy this novel.

This book was a blast. From the very first page I was hooked. Too Far Down is the third book in the Cimarron Legacy series. I have read the first two and loved them both as well. I couldn't wait to read Cole’s story and find out what was going to happen next. This book is also a great stand alone novel. Connealy drops enough hints in case you haven't read the first two books, so you'll know what's been going on. That being said I would recommend you read the others because they were a lot of fun as well. The Cimarron Legacy is a place where the land was paid for with a steep price. The land is only a part of the legacy though. Family and love are the most important things to the Boden clan. When someone keeps coming after them their loyalties will be tested. Cole has always been different than his brother and sister. Being the oldest was never easy, and spending time in the city with his grandparents has changed him. Torn between his love for his family and city life, Cole knows he'll have to make a decision soon. One thing he knows with out a doubt is that he's not going anywhere while his loved ones are in danger. When his mines become the next target Cole is furious. Knowing the explosion was no accident his family puts plans into motion to find the culprit. In the midst of all the trouble Cole finds himself drawn to Mel. Knowing now is not the time for romance Cole worries for her safety and his sanity. Can they catch the criminal before it's too late? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Fiction. It is set in the Historical category, but I really think anyone will enjoy this book. I loved the amount of suspense mixed in with the romance. The family dynamic cracked me up, and I loved seeing them interact. The characters relied on their faith in a real way through out the entire story. I loved the strong female characters and couldn't get enough of their feistiness. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way obligated to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Mary Connealy is such a fantastic writer. I love this writer. What ever she writes, I want to read. All the books have a wow factor. And I have read all but a few older ones, I can't get. “Too Far Down” the last of The Cimarron Legacy series is no exception. It starts with a bang, I mean a literal bang. The first line on the first page “An explosion brought Cole Boden to his feet.” Mary's books contain adventure, excitement, family, laughter and life lessons. I hate to see this series end. I am going to miss the Boden family. She does a wonderful job of taking any incomplete loss ends and wrapping them up in a nice neat package. I loved seeing former characters reappearing in this novel. The Kincaids are another of my favorite Mary Connealy families. This author has such a great subtle since of humor and other times she is just laugh out loud funny. Here are a couple of my favorite examples. Cole to Mel: “I will admit that when we're alone, I have a few notions that'd cause your uncle Walt to shoot me dead.” “I don't think Uncle Walt would shoot you dead. He'd probably just wing you.” Cole kissed her again, and Mel was about ready to shove him away again. In just a minute..... or two. As you know by now I highly recommend this book by Mary Connealy. If you haven't read the first two, do yourself a favor and read those too.
