Review: The Lieutenant's Bargain (Fort Reno #2) by Regina Jennings

About the book:

She Was Supposed to Be Gaining Independence.

What She Found Was Even Better . . .

Hattie Walker dreams of becoming a painter, but her parents want her to settle down. As a compromise, they give her two months to go to Denver and place her works in an exhibition. Her journey is derailed when a gunman attacks her stagecoach, leaving her to be rescued by a group of Arapaho . . . but she's too terrified to recognize them as friendly.

Confirmed bachelor Lieutenant Jack Hennessey has long worked with the tribe and is tasked with trying to convince them that the mission school at Fort Reno can help their children. When a message arrives about a recovered survivor, Jack heads out to retrieve her--and plead his case with the chief once more.

He's stunned to run into Hattie Walker, the girl who shattered his heart years ago, but quickly realizes he has a chance to impress her. When his plan gets tangled through translation, Jack and Hattie end up in a mess that puts her dreams in peril and threatens to destroy his life's work.

My thoughts:

The Lieutenant's Bargain was such a great historical romance. After reading the first book in this series, I couldn't wait to pick up this one...and it was even better than book one!

I loved the characters and how they already knew each other. The marriage and events surrounding it were fun and unique. I found the book to be a quick read, as the danger and storyline made me want to just keep reading. ;)

All in all, I loved The Lieutenant's Bargain and definitely recommend it. I plan on reading book three ASAP.
