Every time I finish reading a new book from Mary Connealy I am astonished at how well I have been entertained. I giggled, I cried and I had a desire to throw the book across the room in response to the "bad guys". Doctor in Petticoats is no different on that line of thinking. I was not disappointed and nor will any reader of Mary Connealy be unhappy with this novel.

This is the first book in the Sophie's Daughter series, it comes after Lassoed in Texas series and the Montana Marriages Trilogy. While I was reading I knew that it was to be a continuation of the Lassoed in Texas series as the first book there, [b:Petticoat Ranch|100999|Petticoat Ranch (Lassoed in Texas, #1)|Mary Connealy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386925153l/100999._SY75_.jpg|97378] is Sophie's story. I was not prepared to find an interwoven continuation of the Montana Marriages Trilogy, I literally cried with happiness. :) In part this was a story about the oldest daughter Beth, but it was also about the next daughter Mandy. So many personalities on the page and full on entertainment.

Beth McCellen finds a groom and way to be a real Doctor in Alex Buchanan. Mandy follows her heart into a marriage that might be the biggest mistake she ever made. I love this book and start of a new series, I cannot wait for the second book in [b:Wrangler in Petticoats|7789642|Wrangler in Petticoats (Sophie's Daughters, #2)|Mary Connealy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388213813l/7789642._SY75_.jpg|10739897] and then especially the third in the series [b:Sharpshooter in Petticoats|8550307|Sharpshooter in Petticoats (Sophie's Daughters, #3)|Mary Connealy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442940116l/8550307._SY75_.jpg|13418342] to continue Mandy and her sisters' stories.
