The Fort Reno Series book 3
by Regina Jennings
| -From Goodreads- Caroline Adams returns to Indian Territory after tiring of confining society life. She wants adventure, and when she and her friend Amber come across swaggering outlaw Frisco Smith, they find his dreams for the new territory are very persuasive. With the much-anticipated land run pending, they may just join the rush. Growing up parentless, all Frisco Smith wanted was a place to call his own. It's no wonder that he fought to open the Unassigned Lands. After years of sneaking across the border, he's even managed to put in a dugout house on a hidden piece of property he's poised to claim. When the gun sounds, everyone's best plans are thrown out the window in the chaos of the run. Caroline and Frisco soon find themselves battling over a claim--and both dig in their heels. Settling the rightful ownership will bring these two closer than they ever expected and change their ideas of what a true home looks like. ISBN-13: 9780764218958 They fight with only a land claim between them... Well now, what a story! I know when I start a Regina Jennings novel that I am in for a real treat. There will be some history, plenty of romantic sparks, humor, a dash or two of danger, and a faith lesson that applies just as much today. The Major's Daughter delivered all of that and a few surprises to boot. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

I will make a confession. I actually didn't like Caroline previously, she was too full of herself and a bit of a pain. Somehow, I think Frisco might agree with me, LOL! Anyway, I wasn't too sure if I'd warm up to her in this book or not. I did, though there were times I just wanted to shake her, and Frisco come to think of it, until they showed some sense. I even had a way figure out for them to divvy up the claim that would have satisfied them both! But, oh well, we wouldn't have had a story then would we?
The Major's Daughter was a rollicking good story! I quickly became emotionally invested in the characters and their experiences. While I'd heard of the Oklahoma Land Rush before and knew the basics of it I learned a lot through Regina Jennings's charming writing. It humanized the event for me, both the triumph and the tragedy. There was also a depth to this story that went beyond shallow historical romance. Two of the themes that I can think of right off are that our value can't be judged by our past, and that we shouldn't make snap judgments about people. Oh yeah, there's also a fine line between tenacity and bullheadedness. One is positive, the other not always so much.
I really enjoyed this third book in The Fort Reno Series, a place I've never been but would love to after reading these books. It's entertaining and provides some thought provoking moments as well. So, if you want to have a whole lotta land rush fun what are you waiting for?
