The Lieutenant's Bargain

Fort Reno Series, Book 2

By: Regina Jennings

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

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.

Very enjoyable.

I definitely enjoyed this novel from beginning to happy end, even chuckling during some of it. The characters are three-dimensional and so wonderfully realistic.

Love this story.

The narrator does a great job bringing this story to life.
I have read several Jennings books and this series is by far my favorite. The series has a nice balance of being light hearted and yet the Christian message is thought provoking. It is sprinkled with humor to keep you smiling/laughing as you listen and characters that are relatable that you can’t help but to cheer on.
I read/listen to a lot of stories and the Fort Reno series are some of my all time favorite.

Great story

Enjoyed book 2 more than book 1. Both excellent. Really enjoyed the storyline. Well developed and very wholesome

action and humor filled, sweet, clean love story

lovable and believable characters who grow and evolve. enjoyed the historical details, suspenseful plot twists and an honorable hero to root for. I also enjoyed the reading performance.

Jack’s voice!

Everything was wonderful except Jack’s voice!!!He is portrayed as this big, strong, virile man, and his voice doesn’t fit that description at all!!
