Publisher's summary

In 1870, Mariah Stover is left for dead and with no memory when the Deadeye Gang robs the stagecoach she's on, killing her father and brother. As she takes over her father's blacksmith business and attempts to move forward, the old-fashioned townspeople meet her new occupation with disdain.

Handsome and polished Clint Roberts escaped to Western Wyoming from the painful memories he left back east. In the hope of a new life, he opens a diner where he creates fine dishes, but is met with a harsh welcome from the townsfolk who prefer to stick to their old ways.

Clint and Mariah are drawn together by the similar trials they face in a new town, and Clint is determined to protect Mariah at all costs when danger descends upon her home. As threats pursue them from every side, will they survive to build a life forged in love?

Mary Connealy steals you away to the atmospheric American West with an adventure-filled, charming nineteenth-century tale

Quality story & narration

I love the duo of Mary Connealy & Barbara McCulloh!! Every story is worth the cost. Now I have to go dig through the other less worthy books to find a good story fix again….

Well written storyline…

The story begins with action and continues through the whole book. The characters are described with words that allow you to feel as if you know them.

Beautiful story

Love it and am a repeat reader/listener. The narrator made the overall book experience wonderful, and compelling to finish. You will not regret listening to this.

Beautiful and intriguing romance with a little mystery.

Forged in love was excellent. It was funny, intriguing and kept you on edge. The romance was beautiful and simplistic. The book was perfect. I hope there,s a sequel

Too Wordy

The author left too many story details unexplained. Her research of horsemanship needs to be more extensive. The love relationship became too "drippy" especially for a female character raised in a smithy.

Storyline was weak

Overall the story was just off and the love story was super awkward. The description said the town didn’t accept the two main characters but that’s so far from the truth. The romance was so forced and didn’t seem so much about love.
