From the Back Cover
When a lawman who values order gets stuck with a feisty crusader who likes to stir things up, there's going to be trouble in Texas!
Now that she's settled in town, Tina Cahill is determined to get Broken Wheel's saloon closed for good. To that end, she pickets outside the place every afternoon. Unfortunately, so far no one has paid any attention.
Vince Yates earned the nickname "Invincible Vince" because of his reputation for letting absolutely nothing stop him. But Vince is about to face his biggest challenge yet: his past has just caught up with him. His father, mother, and the sister he didn't know he had show up in Broken Wheel without warning. His father is still a schemer. His mother is showing signs of dementia. And his surprise sister quickly falls for one of Vince's best friends. Vince suddenly has a lot of people depending on him, and Tina doesn't approve of how he's handling any of them.
With nearly every other man in town married off, Vince finds himself stuck with strong-willed Tina over and over again. Of course, Tina is the prettiest woman he's ever seen, so if he could just get her to give up her crazy causes, he might go ahead and propose. But he's got one more surprise coming his way: Tina's picketing at the saloon has revealed a dark secret that could put everyone Vince loves in danger.
"Connealy's storytelling is laced with humor and wit and coupled with a solid plot. All this makes this sweet inspirational story very entertaining." -RT Book Reviews

“Stuck Together” by Mary Connealy is the third and final book of her Trouble in Texas but I hope there is still going to be something about the lone Regulator that has not found a mate yet for that character for some reason really just touched my heart throughout the whole series. To be honest I don't normally purchase my books until after I have read them through the library to know that they are going to be worth the money, but with this book I couldn't wait and figured it wouldn't matter if it was good or bad for I would have gotten it sooner or later to go with the rest of the series. Well I have to say that I was beyond thrilled that I purchased the book for I think if I had to wait until I got my hands on it through the library I would have been so mad to have to wait for so long for such a wonderful book.
This book is so packed with action that frankly it started from the first line and went on right until the final sentence it seems. Oh sure it is a historical romance story but really I would have to say that the action almost equals or surpasses the romance in how it grabbed this readers attention. Laughter is abundant yet once again with Ms. Connealy's wonderful story telling, and again this started from the get go and was mixed into the action with perfection. Now this book can stand as a stand alone book but personally I think that it was enhanced a great deal by reading the rest of the series, including Ms. Connealy's story “Closer Than Brothers” that can be found at [...] . That story alone gives a lot of information about how the 'Band of Brothers' came about that is for sure.Read more ›

There are only a handful of historical authors whose books I automatically snatch up, and Connealy, queen of romantic comedy with cowboys, is one of them. She had me chuckling from the very first scene, a wild saloon brawl instigated by the heroine. Tina, a woman who's been abandoned for most of her life, is always thinking of causes to fight for, and she's determined to shut down the saloon by picketing. As much as she annoys Vince, a self-acclaimed lawyer and a not-wannabe town-appointed sheriff, he can't help but appreciate her spunkiness.
"Broken Wheel was a north Texas town set smack-dab in the middle of Indian Territory. Only idiots lived here, and idiots rarely needed a lawyer. Vince figured it was only fair to count himself and all of his friends among the idiots."
Vince hightailed it away from his childhood home after he healed from the war, escaping a mother with dementia and a tyrant father. But that doesn't last long and Invincible Vince finds himself caretaker for his mother and a sister he never knew existed. As much as he might enjoy a lasting relationship with Tina, Vince recognizes that it's only a matter of time before it becomes apparent which parent he'll take after, and he refuses to pass either of those genes down to a child or to saddle his wife with a tyrant or a man who can't remember her name. For me, how and when Vince finally resolves this issue seemed hasty and a bit rushed. But then, he was tracking down a...well, I won't spoil your reading pleasure. :)
We met Vince and Tina in the second book in the Trouble in Texas series, Fired Up, where the fireworks were already sparking between these two. You can read my review here.Read more ›

The third book in the Trouble in Texas series opens with a comedic scene involving a brawl outside the town saloon. It all begins with Tina picketing the place with wooden signs. It develops with certain men of the town using any excuse for a fight, and it ends with Tina in a horse trough that happens to be filled with muddy water. It’s fairly slapstick stuff, but it’s probably the most humorous section of the entire book as it takes a somber turn just a couple of pages later and continues in that vein.
One of the major plot lines in the book concerns Mrs. Yates’ mental health and how others respond to it. Mental health treatment was in its infancy during this time and much about it was unknown or misunderstood. The Yates family and friends react differently to her condition, but I was able to connect with Vince’s thoughts and feelings given some personal experiences with mental illness and dementia. I also connected with Tina’s anxiety. Despite her brashness in picketing the saloon, deep down she’s an insecure woman still wondering where she fits in life. Although it isn’t mentioned in the book, I believe this is also a mental health issue: a person may often put on a bold front to mask any fears, anxieties and insecurities they might have.
Stuck Together is about two people forced to spend time with each other because their friends are getting together. Vince and Tina make a volatile pairing and it’s hard to tell if they’d get together if not for their other relationships. One downside of the book is that their romance has to share space with one that unexpectedly appears between her brother and his sister. I felt this second romance was out of place and might have been better having its own book where it could have been properly explored.Read more ›
