The Lieutenant's Bargain (#02 in Fort Reno Series)

I loved this book, just as I did the first in the series,""""Holding the Fort. """" This story had me, literally, bursting out laughing at all hours of the night! I loved the humor, history and action sequences. The storyline hooked me from the get-go and was very intriguing! \\r\\n Author Regina Jennings is an EXCELLENT storyteller! She has written a keeper here! Jack was a very unique and lovable hero, while Hattie was a vulnerable, yet determined, heroine. A recipe for a beautiful romance and an INCREDIBLE story!\\r\\n Regina Jennings has fast become one of my go-to authors for a good laugh and I always enjoy whatever premise she dreams up! She doesn't use your run-of-the-mill storylines, but rather comes up with unique ideas, usually based on some piece of history that is little-known and ripe to be expounded upon!\\r\\n I just can't say enough about the pleasure I derived from this book! It was SOOOO good! Definitely worth the read! (And I'm SUPER excited for and looking forward to the next book in this series,""""The Major's Daughter""""!)

Ooh, this was so much fun! Loved the banter between the two main characters and (and their closest friends), it had me laughing out loud all the way through at the awkward positions they accidentally found themselves in (all with the best of intentions). But alongside the laughter, there was such a beautiful, deep story about acceptance, faith, friendship, hope and love. Absolutely beautiful. Cannot wait to read more of this series!

Hattie Walker doesn't want to get married. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nLieutenant Jack Hennessey has never been interested in marriage. But now he's rescuing the survivor of a stagecoach robbery, and it turns out to be his childhood sweetheart. Anxious to impress, he asks the village Chief to arrange a ceremony . . . and ends up married. \\r\\n\\r\\nIt's a great set-up: a marriage that's neither mail order bride nor marriage of convenience, but marriage all the same. And between two people who know and like each other, although that doesn't mean they actually want to be married. It makes for a fun story, with a lot of great scenes as the two get to know each other and consider their options. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe Lieutenant's Bargain is the second book in the Fort Reno series, but can easily be read as a standalone novel. Recommended for fans of Christian Western historical romance . . . especially those who like a little humour in their romance. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Baker Books and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

I loved this second (and a half) book in this Fort Reno series. Like in the first book the characters are delightful. I love the way Regina can weave history into fiction with fun but still tells the seriousness of the situations. I loved growing in understanding of my relationship with God along with Jack and Hattie as they grow in relationship with each other and discover themselves. A really great book to read. I hope that there are more coming in the series.
