Proposing Mischief (The Joplin Chronicles #2) by Regina Jennings

 


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.

My thoughts:

We all need a good laugh now and then which is one of the many reasons, I will read anything this author writes.  Ms. Jennings is one of my must-read authors, historical fiction, wonderful characters and witty dialog draw me in every single time.

Farm girl Masie Kentworth is stuck on the family ranch, it’s really getting to her, but what’s a girl to do? As it turns out, plenty.  She’s not going to be deterred from staying away from the idled mine near her property much to the chagrin of Boone Bragg, who is managing the family mine.  Poor Boone has no idea what he’s up against when he finds Maisie in his mine.  She made a discovery that is beyond everyone’s expectations and the fun begins as the two of them butt heads in this delightful novel.

Maise is an adorable, memorable character, she’s funny, feisty, and the perfect match for Boone.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley.  All opinions are my own.
