Book Review: Over the Edge

Over the Edge (Kincaid Brides Series #3)

(Kincaid Brides Series #3)


This story of the Kincaid Brothers, focuses on Seth and his painful, disorganized life.  Nightmares is something that he has shifted back and forth in for many years. Nightmares as he remembers vividly of fire in a cave, where he was badly burned.  Nightmares of fighting in the Civil War.  Too bad, he doesn't remember the woman he married as he was recovering.   His wife Callie remembers him very well, and  has prayed and searched for him, not knowing if he was dead or alive.  She's been through quite a bit as well, but she's no wilting wall flower.   No, she's a beautiful, tough, Texas gal who knows how to shoot and isn't afraid to do it!  Seth is intrigued by her as he scrambles to remember her before she can shoot him!!


The male "hero" (Seth)  in this story was very different; not your usual strong, always knowing what to do at every moment hero.  I liked that especially because he wasn't written as a weak man, just someone who had and was having some very unusual happenings and was very likable.  I enjoyed the strength that Callie brought to the story as well.  I have not read the prior stories of the other brothers but since they were also included in this story; it did make me want to read about the others as well.    My only negative about the story is at one point, it kind of bogged down for a short time, where nothing seemed to be happening; not even in the relationships. It was just like they were spinning their wheels.   But I kept reading and I am glad to say that it picked back up again and finished well.  I wouldn't say it was one of my favorite books but I did find some humor in it and it had its moments.


I received a free copy of this novel from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review program, and I am under no obligation to write a positive review.
