A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

A Most Inconvenient Marriage (Ozark Mountain Romance #1) - Regina Jennings

I’ve read some books written by Regina Jennings in the past and really enjoyed them.  I read The Ladies of Caldwell County series (Sixty Acres and a Bride, Love in the Balance and Caught in the Middle.)  I enjoyed those and was excited to read this one.

Abigail is a nurse in the Civil War and working at one of the prisons.  Her favorite patient is dying and convinces her to marry him.  That way, she can take care of his mother and sister.  He worries about them when he’s gone.  Abigail makes her way to the house and begins to find her place in the family when her new world is turned upside down.  Her husband is alive.  Sort of.

Jeremiah makes it home from the war, but he’s surprised to find a strange woman claiming to be his wife.  She doesn’t believe he’s Jeremiah Calhoun at first, she buried him back at the prison, but she can’t deny his family’s confirmation of his identity.  So what happened?  As they discover the truth, they're both placed in a most inconvenient position.  Abigail can’t go home and Jeremiah doesn’t seem to want her there.

Jeremiah returns to find his beloved’s heart isn’t his anymore and another man is after her.  He got a leg wound in the war and decides to do what he can to heal and replace his sweetheart’s pity with passion.  Abigail is helping him regain his strength, but she’s also slowly working her way into his heart.

It’s hard to put into words how much I liked this book.  It has been a long time since I’ve had this much trouble actually putting this book down.  The story was so unusual and so interesting at the same time.  Both Abigail and Jeremiah are lovable characters and I found myself smiling on more than one occasion.

This book is showing up as the first book in the Ozark Mountain Romance series.  I'm not sure when the next one comes out, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for more from this author.  She has a great writing style and I recommend this book.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
