Aiming For Love - A Book Review



Aiming for Love (Brides of Hope Mountain Book #1) by [Connealy, Mary]














I have been a fan of Mary Connealy's books for years, but Aiming For Love is definitely my favorite to date! 

Jo and her two sisters have been raised in isolation in the mountains of Colorado.  They were raised by their grandparents and were taught to fear people and that going to town would bring sickness and possibly deat
h.  With both of their grandparents gone the girls have been living alone and are extremely self sufficient.  They love each other fiercely and have no need or desire for the outside world.  When Dave comes to the mountains in search for pasture for his cows, he encounters Jo.  Dave is fascinated by the capabilities of these women and how they have survived on their own and Jo is fascinated by the new things she is seeing and learning. When Dave's family arrives in the mountains and need shelter, Jo and her sister Ilsa are willing to help, but Ursula remains fearful of these new people.  When sickness soon takes over it seems that grandma was right with what she told them, but there are other things, things that the sisters are now questioning...could it be that the life the were living was not all they thought it to be.  Were there grandparents keeping secrets?

This book was so entertaining!  It had me laughing out loud on several occasions and it had a sorta "Tarzan and Jane" feel with the roles reversed.  I'm pretty sure I can figure out who the next two sisters will be paired with in the upcoming books and I can't wait to see if I am right.  If the other books are as great as the first, this will for sure be a favorite series of mine!  Now if the second one would release already..
