WONDERFUL CHANGE OF PACE - DEFINITELY A PLUS

Jennie Beasley has moved to Castlerock, Montana [merely weeks before Nate Denison shows up] She has come to help take care of her sisters brood of children and to earn money as a schoolma'am so that she may attend a college. So much trouble starts when her school building burns down. Now where will she hold school? Helga, Nate's Norwegian housekeeper, has to inform him that helping with fighting the fire was a neighborly thing to do. Nate was of the opinion that money could buy anything. Even the schoolma'am! Everyone has a price. Nate is soured on the fickelness of women. And Oh, did he make a mistake in comments to the pair of U.S. Calvalry officers that would come to "Denison's Folly" for conversation and food. Hirum McAllister and Orvil Rowe were a pair of handsome sargeants that took it upon themselves to warn Nate off of Jennie. Nate saw some passion in the schoolma'am and Hirum had already said that she was unpredictable, contrary and full of sass. What an intriguing romance between a man who had a very low opinion of women and a young woman who wanted a career in 1893. Jennie's sister, Grace and her husband, Thaddeus and the niece, "runt" and her brothers and the widow, Ingrid Jensen tended to cause problems for Jennie. Of course, Jennie's and Nate's hormones were leading them on a merry path neither wanted to follow. Now the Buffalo appeared to be as contrary as Jennie. And worth a thousand dollars for their trophy heads. Great ending -- wonderful story - great characters - great resolution of all the conflict. Definitely Recommended -- definitely a plus

Wonderful Historical Romance Book!

WOW, this is one amazing book, Karen Lockwood really knows how to write a book where you get lost in the book while reading it and you feel as though you are right there and a part of it! The story is set near Yellowstone National Park and is about Jennie Beasley a young but uptight and fussy school teacher and Nate Dennison a wealthy Northener who moves into town and builds a big house that the neighors make fun of because they think it's too much and think he is a fool so they nickname it Nate's Folly, but when the school is destroyed by a fire Nate lets Jennie use the downstairs part of his house for a temporary school and Jennie learns that things aren't always what they seem and that Nate is a nice guy and he is trying to repopulate and protect the buffalo which are in danger of becoming extinct. I really llked this book and it is a keeper for sure! The sexual content in this book is pretty mild for a Historical and may be too tame for people who like their Historicals to be very explicit but I thought it was a nice change of pace.
