The Unexpected Champion by Mary Connealy

Hold on for a Thrilling Tale!

Get ready to face kidnappers, murderers, and danger as Penny Scott and John McCall run for their lives while trying to figure out who is after them.  Penny is a tough wilderness woman who can find food and survive in any wilderness. John is a city-dwelling Pinkerton agent who can disguise his identity instantly, and is the master of undercover methods.  The two of them can’t stand each other but will need all of their talents to discover who is behind the plot to get rid of them.  What follows is a wild romp in the 1860’s through the Lake Tahoe area.

Can Penny and John quit bickering with each other long enough to discover who is trying to kill them?  Will the two of them be able to figure out the clues left by a dead man?  If they uncover who their dangerous adversary is, will he be too strong and powerful for them to stop?

This thriller is full of action, excitement, a dash of romance, and a sprinkling of humor–all told in a clean story from a Christian perspective.  The Unexpected Champion is the third installment in the High Sierra Sweethearts Series, but the story stands alone without reading the others.  However, after enjoying this tale, you will want to get the rest of the series to discover the adventures these characters have had.  I recommend this 5-star story to anyone who likes to be entertained, enjoys 1800’s stories, or well-written fiction.
