Over the Edge by Mary Connealy




Seth Kincaid found himself married after fighting in the Civil War. His spitfire of a wife, Callie, goes in search of him after he disappears from their homestead. When she finds him, she wants to wring his neck for not remembering her. Seth, on the other hand, is interested in getting to know this woman who is called his wife. He wants to rekindle the spark they once had. Will they ever make it to a place where they both want the same thing, or will their differences keep them apart? 

This book opens with an action scene, which really grabs your attention and makes you want to keep reading to find out what will happen next. Since this is how it started, I thought there would be a lot more throughout the book, but there wasn’t. There is one more action scene closer to the end.

While Seth is trying to win Callie back and remember her, there is a subplot in the story, but I didn’t feel like it got enough attention to fit in well…until near the end. I found myself thinking those few chapters were more of a distraction than anything.

This book was not a page turner. I struggled my way through it because it did not keep my attention, and I will probably not read it again.
