This series is about three sisters on the run from an abusive step-father who wants to marry them off to some of his less than honorable cronies. The girls and their mother have a plan. All they have to do is implement it perfectly and they’ll be safe to find husbands of their own. All of the girls are well-educated, meant to run their father’s lumber business. Each of them have their own strength when it comes to elements within that business. But what happens when you take them out of their world? Will they be able to survive and find good husbands to gain their inheritance?
Connealy’s sense of humor and strength of her characters makes this a fun and exciting read. The girls aren’t ladies who are incapable, though they don’t know the first thing about cooking, cleaning, or sewing. They’re more than able to see a problem and work out the solution—even if that solution is to blow things up. This was a thrilling ride from the beginning to the end. Laura Stiles, the main character meets pastor Caleb, a man with a past. Their romance is a whirlwind, but believable, and the twists and turns make this a late-nighter purge-fest.

An Entertaining Story!
3.5 stars"Getting to know a man was almost more trouble than it was worth."However, if all three of the Stiles sisters were going to escape their current circumstances and find a husband, it seemed to follow that they would have to get to know some men. But where? And how? And now!Worry takes a back seat to providence however when Laura Stiles befriends a travelling parson on his way deep into the mountains of California. Convincing Caleb Tillman to let his mission group grow in numbers, Laura and her two sisters tag along. It soon becomes obvious that Laura's higher education (by golly, she was an explosives expert, her sisters a mechanical engineer and architect . . . after all, they were heiresses to a lumber dynasty) was useless in the poor shanty community of Purgatory, thus exposing one of her many secrets. Unfortunately, the handsome parson had a few secrets of his own, . . . . were they the kind that could "blow up" Laura's chance to gain her inheritance? Time would tell.So much fun to read, this launch into "The Lumber Baron's Daughters" series will have readers eagerly watching their calendars for the next installment!I received a copy of this book from the publisher, the opinions stated above are entirely my own.
