SCOTT, REGINA
FRONTIER ENGAGEMENT
School Bells and Wedding Bells
James Wallin's family is depending on him to find a schoolteacher for their frontier town. Alexandrina Fosgrave seems to be exactly what he needs to help fulfill his father's dream of building a new community. If only James could convince her to accept the position.
Alexandrina has traveled west to seek a fresh start, not to find a groom. But after she's stranded in the wilderness with James, he offers her his hand in marriage to protect her reputation. Both are afraid to fall in love, but maybe an engagement of convenience could make them reconsider…
Frontier Bachelors: Bold, rugged—and bound to be grooms.
My Review:
James is such a teasing rogue that I want to be annoyed with him, but I can't. I'm too busy swooning! And laughing. He's outrageous and flirty and has a wicked sense of humour and is all too determined to make life into one big lark. Of course, Rina just happens to be his exact opposite. A little uptight and too serious for her own good. Cautious where James is impulsive. You might think her reserved nature would be overshadowed by James's larger than life persona but actually the opposite is true. Rina can hold her own and the two compliment each other -- if only they'd stop sparring long enough to notice!
Action and romance plied with plenty of laughter make this a read to remember.

I really liked the first 2 in this series--some of the best lih books I've read--helps that they take place near where I live in Seattle. There is actually an area called Wallingford near Lake Union!
ReplyDeleteOh yes -- it would be exciting to read about your area. And I didn't know a Wallingford exists! How cool is that? I've loved this whole series too and you'll enjoy revisiting with some favourite characters. Good luck, Karen.
DeleteI like how Regina Scott draws out the historical aspect of her story weaving in the characters so effortlessly like they were always there. Engaging writing ~ I like her humor within the adventures her characters have. Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House lanehillhouse[at]centurylink[dot]net
ReplyDeleteYes the humour really makes the story sparkle and yet she touches on serious subjects as well. Very talented author. Good luck, Kathleen.
DeleteThe cover is beautiful. I haven't read any in this series so I'm going to be looking for them. Thank You! karenskrayons(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteIt's a great series, but you don't need to have to read the other books in order to enjoy this one. Good luck, Karen.
DeleteIt sounds like you had such a fun week reading all these excellent books, Kav ! Regina Scott does such a great job in the historical aspect of the stories doesn't she ? I would enjoy reading another story by her .

Me too. Good luck, Amy.
DeleteIf not for your review, Kav, I think I would have passed over this one. I checked other reviews, as well and they're all positive. I will have to start on her previous two. Thanks.
