Book Recommendation - Courting Misfortune
Regina Jennings is a new to me author that I discovered in the novella collection "The Kissing Tree". I thoroughly enjoyed her contribution to that collection and so when I saw that she had a new series coming out, I jumped at the opportunity to get an early copy of book 1. While the romance in this one felt cheesy at times and I had some difficulty connecting with the characters at times, there was a solid faith thread and Jennings' signature humor in her historical romance novels shined through in this novel as well. Calista's family had me in stitches pretty regularly!I really enjoyed the mystery of the story and the ending was quite satisfying!
Here's a bit about the book:
Calista York needs one more successful case as a Pinkerton operative to secure her job. When she’s assigned to find the kidnapped daughter of a mob boss, she’s sent to the rowdy mining town of Joplin, Missouri, despite having extended family in the area. Will their meddling expose her mission and keep Lila Seaton from being recovered?
When Matthew Cook decided to be a missionary, he never expected to be sent only a short train ride away. While fighting against corruption of all sorts, Matthew hears of a baby raffle being held to raise funds for a children’s home. He’ll do what he can to stop it, but he also wants to stop the reckless Miss York, whose bad judgment consistently seems to be putting her in harm’s way.
Calista doesn’t need the handsome pastor interfering with her investigation, and she can’t let her disguise slip. Her job and the life of a young lady depend on keeping Matthew in the dark.
