Review: Holding the Fort (Fort Reno #1) by Regina Jennings

About the book:
With Miss Bell as the Teacher, Everyone's Bound to Learn an Interesting Lesson

Dance hall singer Louisa Bell has always lived one step from destitution. When she loses her job at the Cat-Eye Saloon, she has nowhere else to go but to her brother, a cavalry soldier stationed in Indian Territory. But he's run afoul of his commanding officer. Unsure what she can do to help him and desperate for a job, she doesn't protest when she's mistaken for a governess at the fort. How hard can teaching really be?

Major Daniel Adams has his hands full at Fort Reno, especially raising two adolescent daughters alone. If this new governess doesn't work out, his mother-in-law insists she'll raise the girls herself--far away from the fort. Miss Bell bears little resemblance to Daniel's notion of a governess--they're not supposed to be so blamed pretty--but he finds himself turning a blind eye to her unconventional methods. Louisa has never faced so important a performance. Can she keep her act together long enough to help her brother and to secure the respectable future she's sought for so long?

My thoughts:

Holding the Fort is the first book in Jennings' Fort Reno series and it was a wonderful story. It's been a while since I've read a book by Regina Jennings, but I was pretty sure I would enjoy this book before picking it up...and I was right. 

The characters were great and the romance was well done. I look forward to reading the next book and getting to read more about these characters.

All in all, Holding the Fort was worth the read and I recommend it to fans of historical romance.
