Now and Forever is the second book in Wild at heart Series. This book focuses on Shannon Wilde the middle sister. Who after spending five days in the wilderness with Matthew Tucker she is forced to marry him in order to save her reputation.  It is a marriage of opposites as Shannon wants to live a peaceful life raising her sheep. She doesn't want to harm anything. While Matthew is a mountain man who makes his living by hunting and trapping things. 

This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time that I was reading it. Even though I enjoyed this book more than the first book in the series I am still looking forward to the third book and Bailey's story.

Kylie Wilde and her sisters Shannon and Bailey fought in the Civil war by posing as boys. They had plans to homestead as man so that they could cut the time down from five to three years. However that doesn’t work the way Kylie had planned. For one reason she likes dressing as a woman, and has let her hair grow out.  Aaron Materson the land agent sees through her act.

I love Mary Connealy’s books. They are my go to books for Christian Westerns. Like her previous books there is the right balance of faith, romance, and action throughout the whole book.  Kylie is the right balance of a strong heroine who is also feminine.  It was nice to read a fictional novel about women homesteaders posing as man, which could have actually happened.  This book was a fairly quick read and I enjoyed it. I cannot wait for the next two books in the series.
