Out of Control

3.5 stars
It wasn't the highest type of literature, I'll admit, but I sure had fun listening to this rapid-fire story and seeing the MCs get through the intense danger and get to their happily ever after. I grab Connealy's stories when I need a good action novel with characters full of spunk, and this fully met my expectations.

Snickering with a silly grin in my face... it is how I often find myself when finishing a Mary Connealy book and here I am again. Review to come... book is out in August. I love each and every one of Mary's books. She challenges me so much and entertains me in the process. I love how characters that I am so set up to hate I end up not quite feeling the same about them in the end. It really reminds me again and again to not just a person by their first impressions. This book was different from any that I have read from Mary so far (and I'm so excited for her Bethany House deal!). This book was a mix of the Christian Historical Romantic Comedy that you definitely get from Mary, but with a good bit of the psychology that you get in a contemporary [a:Kristen Heitzmann 96214 Kristen Heitzmann http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg] (I say contemporary, because Kristen's historicals do not have the same psychology in them as say [b:The Edge of Recall 2262677 The Edge of Recall Kristen Heitzmann http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266681373s/2262677.jpg 2268685]). It was entertaining and kept the pages turning endlessly. Now why must I wait for months for another?!Thanks to Mary for sending a copy for review.Originally posted: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2011/08/01/out-of-control-by-mary-connealy/
