The Lieutenant's Bargain by Regina Jennings

The Lieutenant's Bargain (The Fort Reno Series Book #2) by [Jennings, Regina]
Here is the book summary:
Hattie Walker dreams of becoming a painter, while her parents want her to settle down. As a compromise, they give her two months to head to Denver and place her works in an exhibition or give up the dream forever. 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 take her home--and plead his case once more.

He's stunned to run into Hattie Walker, the girl who shattered his heart--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 tests Jack's resolve to remain single.

And now, my review:
The Lieutenant’s Bargain by Regina Jennings was a book that I found to have adventure and suspense with romance thrown in there as well.  This is the second book in the series by this author and I think could be read without reading the first book in the series.   With that being said, I think the first book is definitely worth reading and if I had to decide on rating them I would rate the 1st book higher.  This book drew me in with the cover.  It gives a great feel of early American life around the American Indians.  The determination to work with them and find ways to work together and not against each other is inspiring.  The adventure of what she thinks her future should look like in contrast with what her future turns out to be is exciting to watch unfold. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
