Will the sun set on their chance at happiness before they can seize it?
To finally escape the clutches of her controlling husband and the threat of being recommitted to an asylum, Ginny Rutledge enlists the help of her friends, Maeve O’Toole and Dakota Harlan. Fleeing their own tumultuous pasts, the group embarks on a journey to prove Ginny’s sanity. However, as they confront the shadows they wish they could forget, danger looms from unexpected places.
Maeve grapples with her mother’s impending remarriage and seizes a rare chance to escape her homestead–but that means reuniting with Dakota, the man she holds responsible for her father’s death, who is caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful family. As the two of them navigate their shared history and a dangerous mission, Dakota is forced to confront his deepest fears and fight for the woman who has unwittingly captured his heart.

My Thoughts:
This is the third in a series about a group of women escaping from an asylum and heading west to escape the tyrannical men who care nothing for their well-being. This also continues the story of the makeshift family they meet and the men who love them and will fight for them.
Maeve and her family met up with these women on their journey west. Maeve lost her father on the way and blames a certain man, Dakota, for that. Dakota knows that even though he did all he could for her father. Yet even with that rocky past, he finds he is still very much drawn to Maeve, even though she blames him.
Dakota is not without problems of his own as he has a family after him who are out for blood. His blood and he knows he may be running and looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. But when his friends come to him for help, he is there for them.
Ginny is the woman whose ruthless husband is bound and determined to catch again. He is a horrible villain and only cares about money. He almost acts as if he is untouchable in his quest to recapture Ginny and destroy those who help her. It becomes quite a showdown as evil and good face off.
I was also delighted to see that a couple of characters from the previous series popped in too. This series tackled the unjust ways women were treated in regard to their mental health when the men who should have cared for them, did not.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
More from Mary
Into the Sunset is the third book in A Western Light series, and I always love the wrap up of a series. In this book I’ve got a deliciously evil villain, and I’ve worked that villain in and out of the characters lives at the end of each of the first two books, but he keeps coming back. This time, he really gets what’s coming to him. Anyway, it’s not a shocking thing to say: the bad guy loses. I’ll bet most readers of my work knew that was coming. It’s the HOW that makes it fun.
My heroine is one I really enjoyed: Maeve O’Toole—a red-headed, sassy Irish lass with a mild brogue. And my hero, Dakota Harlan, has interested her from the first moment she laid eyes on him. Except that moment was several years ago, and she blamed him for her father’s death on the wagon train Dakota was leading. Then life separated them as he went on to Oregon and her family turned aside to homestead in Idaho. Now Dakota is back in Maeve’s life again. She’s had a chance to see that her anger with Dakota was unfair and has discovered that Dakota has always admired her. He’d probably scoop her up and marry her, if it wasn’t for the men trying to kill him. He doesn’t have much room for a wife in the life he’s living now.
In this story, I bring back all the characters from the earlier two books. The villain who’s been harassing them all along reappears, and the men hunting Dakota show up, too. Ginny must go to court to break the hold her evil husband has over her, declaring her insane and locking her away. She’s been hiding ever since. But now she’s ready to face him in court, but a conniving, wealthy man like her husband never plays fair.
Into the Sunset is packed with love and action, adventure and danger. All play out against the hectic railroad town of Cheyenne, Wyoming a few years after Wyoming becomes the first state to give women the right to vote. And there are some tough, smart women ready to stand between Ginny and a cruel husband. And plenty of tough smart cowboys, too. I hope you love this story!
