Proposing Mischief
The Joplin Chronicles book 2
by Regina Jennings
-From Goodreads- Maisie Kentworth is stuck on the ranch. Having fallen in love with the wrong guy, she can't risk inflaming things between her former beau and her protective family. Left to rue her mistakes, she keeps busy exploring the idle mine at the edge of their property. Boone Bragg is also stuck. With his parents on vacation, the management of Bragg Mining falls on him, and one of his advisors wants him as a son-in-law. One wrong move, and Boone will end up either offending an associate or getting married to a woman he can't endure. While closing up a spent mine, Boone gets two surprises. One is an untamed farm girl who's trespassing with a pickax, and the other is the amazing crystal cavern that she's discovered. Suddenly Boone sees a way to overhaul the family business. With part of the cavern on Kentworth land, Boone makes Maisie a proposal that he hopes will solve all of their problems. Instead it throws Joplin into chaos. ISBN-13: 9780764235351 Will their love sparkle like the crystal cave? I'll confess to a little trepidation when I started Proposing Mischief. I knew it would be a good story because, after all, it IS a Regina Jennings novel, but there was that little niggling part of me that remembered how much Maisie had annoyed me in the first Joplin Chronicles tale. I was a little concerned that either I still wouldn't like Maisie, and by the same token Boone, or that her character would be way different this time around. But, never fear, Regina Jennings did not let me down one iota. Maisie is as quirky as ever but she was so well written that I was completely sympathetic to her in every way. And her well meaning but sometimes clueless hero, well, I liked him every bit as much! | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating. |
