BOOK REVIEW- A Man with a Past (Brothers in Arms Book #2) by Mary Connealy *

   

Christian , Historical Fiction , Romance

 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.

 This was a good story with in-depth interesting main characters.  I got a big kick out of the way that Cheyenne's grumpiness didn't phase Falcon one bit.   In fact he liked her spunk both before and after he lost his memory.   Falcon's arrival at the ranch was an eye-opener for him.  He wasn't a stupid man but he had lived an isolated life. Even though he couldn't remember his past, his hands had a "memory" of sorts when it came to living on the land.  That was enjoyable to read too.

There is a good cast of supporting people in the story along with a lot of action.  There definitely were people after the Hunt brothers or whoever else got in their way. That unfolds in a good way without giving anything up too soon.   

Everything gets resolved at the end with a H.E.A. for the main characters.   Well, I did feel like one thing hadn't been explained... Why were two different women afraid of Oliver Hawkins? One of them being his daughter, Winona (Win).  But just maybe because this is a series, that will be addressed in a different book.
