Holding the Fort

Fort Reno Series, Book 1

By: Regina Jennings

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

Louisa Bell never wanted to be a dance-hall singer, but dire circumstances force her hand. With a little help from her brother in the cavalry, she's able to make ends meet, but lately he's run afoul of his commanding officer, so she undertakes a visit to straighten him out.

Major Daniel Adams has his hands full at Fort Reno. He can barely control his rowdy troops, much less his two adolescent daughters. If Daniel doesn't find someone respectable to guide his children, his mother-in-law insists she'll take them.

When Louisa arrives with some reading materials, she's mistaken for the governess who never appeared. Major Adams is skeptical. She bears little resemblance to his idea of a governess - they're not supposed to be so blamed pretty - but he's left without recourse. His mother-in-law must be satisfied, which leaves him turning a blind eye to his unconventional governess's methods. Louisa's never faced so important a performance. Can she keep her act together long enough?

Love the Fort Reno Series

I truly love this book, I have reread it several times over the last few years. It makes me laugh. I love the relationship between Louisa and the girls. And the narration makes the story come alive.

Holding the Fort

Over all a good story with novel plot but a bit long - could have been better if shorter. Outstanding narrator

Well written...wholesome novel

Well written story with a bit of mystery, adventure, comedy and of course romance...but a good clean wholesome novel!

Love the story but not the fake southern accent

Love this story, but the narrators fake southern access was grating after awhile. Also, the story takes place in the Midwest not the south. Wish they had just left off the accent.

Love this story

Has the right amount of humor, love, and drama. I especially appreciate the faith brought into the story.
