The Major's Daughter

The historical background for this book was really interesting. Seeing people who wanted a chance at claiming the land and their struggles was captivating, from those like Caroline who were successful in claiming the land but then needed to actually get to work settling there, to those like Frisco who didn't get the opportunity they so desperately wanted but were still trying to find a way to be successful. I also enjoyed the plot line with Frisco, a lawyer, trying to figure out if the very men who settled the town where he managed to buy his small plot did so legally or if they started out early in order to stake a claim. The romance angle wasn't quite as appealing to me as the other romances in this series, but all in all, it made for a good read.
3.5 stars.

The Major’s Daughter
By Regina Jennings
The excitement of this book kept me up all night reading.
Caught up in the excitement Caroline Adams decides to make her own way and stake her claim in the land run. The challenges ahead are not on her mind as she stakes her claim. The territory is lonely and cultivating the land is no easy task.
Always looking for “home” Frisco Smith is determined to build a town and create what he has never had… family. Frisco is no greenhorn to the unassigned land; he has been squatting on this land for years. After getting his law degree and fighting for the unassigned lands to be opened to claim Frisco will now legally be able to claim the land, he plans to call home. One small problem, someone has already claimed his land.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and even now the adventure that was brought alive in these pages gives me a jolt of excitement.

Regina Jennings' latest book, The Major's Daughter takes readers to the Oklahoma territory for the 1889 land rush. Caroline, the daughter of the major in charge at the local military fort is a mix of a frontier woman and high society. When her goals rub up against those of boomer Frisco Smith, who she secretly admired when she was younger, it's a battle of wills. This historical novel draws upon a rich frontier setting and pulls in enjoyable and believable characters to make for a light-hearted but fun read. I'll be sure to pick up other Regina Jennings novels in the future. It's fiction that's clean, historically accurate, fun, and believable--everything you want in a Christian novel.

Caroline Adams returns home to Fort Reno with her friend Amber Hardy (?) just days before the official opening of the unclaimed lands in Oklahoma Territory. When Amber’s fiancé finds out he has to guard the line and won’t be able to lay a claim, Caroline and Amber concoct a plan to join the race. Caroline, eager to strike out on her own and test her mettle, knows a shortcut through rough terrain that should guarantee her a chance to prove up on her 160 acre claim.

Frisco Smith has longed for home and community ever since he could remember. Growing up in a foundling house, he never had the opportunity to belong to anything for any length of time. His solution? Take his chance at starting a town in the unclaimed lands of Oklahoma Territory. He makes forays into the territory to scout and plan. Although he often risks capture by the soldiers at Fort Reno, he knows his advocacy of opening up the territory will benefit thousands of people. He also knows a shortcut that will get him to his planned townsite ahead of the crowd—without resorting to cheating.

But what happens when two determined people claim the same section of land? Especially when they have known each other for years? Will they find their true selves amidst the turmoil of the land stampede?

Jennings features the beautiful (and apparently spoiled) Caroline Adams in this third installment of the Fort Reno series. History buffs will love the detailed research the author does into the Oklahoma land race. Romance enthusiasts will love the sparks that fly between two strong characters that appear to have little in common.

The Major's Daughter by Regina Jennings finds Caroline Adams returning to Fort Reno after living in Society for a while. She and her friend Amber are just days away from the land rush of the Oklahoma territory. Being eager to strike out on her own, Caroline has it in her mind to claim land, and establish an Inn for travelers to the growing territory.

Things go a little awry when Caroline claims the land that Frisco Smith had been improving over the years, and had set his sight on claiming it to establish a town.

Things get complicated when some men, claiming they were the first to arrive, start manipulating their towns politics. Frisco, having managed to obtain a small plot in this town, uses his law degree to settle differences, while he still tries to claim the land Caroline staked.

I really enjoyed this story. Not knowing much about how the west was opened up, it was enlightening to see how things might have been in 1889.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Net Galley and the publisher. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

THE MAJOR'S DAUGHTER by REGINA JENNINGS is the third novel in the Fort Reno series, in which the author combines history and romance with a good bit of humour and some biblical truths to make an excellent read. Although it is better to read the novels in sequence, each book can easily stand alone.
The story takes place in Oklahoma during the 1889 Land Run. I love the descriptions of the race and of the building up of Plainview. We see the baseness of human nature in those who use their position of authority to cheat, even taking over the important positions in the community. These "sooners" are compared with the honest folk who just wanted a chance to have a place of their own.
When Frisco Smith is thwarted in his dream to build the town of Redhawk by major Adams' lovely daughter, Caroline, he is devastated for three reasons. First of all, because of his past he yearns to have his own home and belong somewhere, secondly, he has already sold plots to settlers and thirdly, he has made many improvements on the land.
Caroline is a feisty young lady who wants to be independant of her parents and has plans to run a boardinghouse with a big garden where she can grow herbs and lavender. I like the way she and her best friend, Amber Herald, take part in the race and do their best to survive in difficult circumstances.
The story is well told, the characters well portrayed and the interaction between them is often amusing. It is altogether an enjoyable read.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

A fun historical romance with spunky characters. There’s a little mystery and drama as well. If you enjoy American history, you’ll probably find this book interesting as it’s set doing the land race that took place in Oklahoma. You’ll enjoy learning about the boomers and the sooners as you read this light hearted romance.

The Major's Daughter is book 3 in the Fort Reno series by Regina Jennings. Although this book could easily be read as a stand-alone, the series is a great historical romance series filled with quirky characters, fun facts about the settling of the western US, strong women, families, and plenty of adventure. The Major's Daughter primarily tells Caroline's story, but also continues with all the characters from books 1 an 2. This delightful novel will keep you smiling as you enjoy the adventures of settling in a new town. Great read!

The Major's Daughter is the third book in the Fort Reno series. I know for a fact that it can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel since it is the only book in this series that I have read and I loved it!
This story is centered around the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893 and the weeks following as the new claim owners start new lives on their land. The beginning of the novel and the excitement of the rush brought me to back years ago when I watched the movie Far and Away. This novel is as thrilling as the movie and the excitement of the quest for land leap from the pages. Themes of justice and restitution abound with a sprinkling of a sweet prairie romance and Regina Jennings' customary humor. The characters were endearing and I find myself wanting to go back to the beginning of this series and read what I missed. If you are looking for a fun, clean, Christian historical romance, then I recommend reading The Major's Daughter.

I love Regina Jennings and everything she writes! This third story of Fort Reno is no exception! Great story of the Major's Daughter, who gets to know her old her old schoolgirl crush, Frisco, better than she ever hoped. Frisco, who has never had any family before, begins to hope for one, as he gets to know Caroline better. Beginning with the race for Oklahoma land, the story is exciting and fascinating! Love it!

When Caroline, the daugher of Major Adams, returns to the fort after her sojourn in high society, she finds that while she was too colloquial for Galveston she's now considered too prim and proper for the prairie. Determined to find her own way in the world, she joins the hordes of people waiting to cross the boundary line and stake a claim in the Unassigned Lands. But when she sets her eyes on the same piece of property that the charming rascal Frisco Smith wants, a fierce competition ensues. 

Raised as a foundling, Frisco has always wanted a home of his own. He's taken a shine to the spunky Caroline Adams, but he wishes she had a little less spunk when she squeaks in ahead of him to snag the prime land he is after. Is courting her the best way to persuade her to pack up and go home, or is there perhaps enough room on one claim for the both of them?

This charming western romance continues the story from Holding the Fort (Fort Reno #1) where Major Adams woos a governess/saloon singer with a heart of gold to be stepmother to his two girls. The Lieutenant's Bargain (Fort Reno #2) follows the relationship between fine arts painter Hattie and the Major's second-in-command. Now, in the third installment, the Major's stubborn older daughter stars in a romance of her own. Although it has lots of character tie-ins to the previous books (particularly the novella Bound and Determined (Fort Reno #1.5)), The Major's Daughter could still be enjoyed as a standalone.

The historical background of the Unassigned Lands was fascinating, including the history of the moonlighters who tried to break the rules by sneaking over the boundary sooner than they were supposed to. The author's note shares how many of the outrageous events in the story are true to life, including the photograph that proves the moonlighters' moonfalseance...but, wait, no spoilers.

In true Regina Jennings style, this book sparkles with amusing dialogue and situations. Although I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first two books in the series, it was still a fun read.

"The Major's Daughter" by Regina Jennings brings Caroline Adams back to Ft Reno in the days leading up to the historic Oklahoma land rush. Caroline is so eager to strike out on her own that she joins the race without letting her father know. The ensuing circumstance turn old acquaintances into competitors who later become allies in this tale that is so well researched that it could be mistaken for history itself. The character development builds upon the existing players from earlier books in the series, but is clear enough to allow a reader who is unfamiliar with the previous parts to follow easily. I recommend this book!

This book is the third of a series. This story takes place at the time of the Oklahoma land run. Caroline, the oldest daughter of the Major in charge of the local cavalry post, returns from an extended visit with her grandmother and soon after comes in contact with Frisco Smith, a man she had contact with when she lived at the post before. Frisco is preparing to run in the land run and Caroline decides she will run too. She wants to try her hand at homesteading. She borrows her mount from the stables and goes to participate without her father’s knowledge. None of the folks that see her on the starting line believe she will be able to keep up, but not only is she an excellent horsewoman, but she also knows the land well enough to know a shortcut. She beats Frisco to the spot he had his heart set on and since they are both stubborn, they both dig in their heels. It is funny and also gives insight into a historical event.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this books which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Once again, Regina Jennings has crafted a novel that will make you laugh so hard your sides hurt. Caroline and Frisco’s banter kept me turning pages. I couldn’t get enough of them. From their first interaction on the page, they had amazing chemistry that had me rooting for them to get together.

While it was nice to see Bradley and Amber’s story continue, I did find myself getting frustrated that we went between both of their perspectives instead of just focusing on one. And it interrupted Frisco and Caroline’s story every time it started to get good. But then again, that helped build the suspense.

But the storyline of the land rush is fascinating. Jennings provides so much historic detail not only about the history of the Unassigned Lands, but also about the land rush itself. The challenges. The conditions. I liked the mystery of whether the town of Plainview was founded legitimately or if there was cheating involved. And Jennings did a great job dropping breadcrumbs here and there.

Overall, Jennings has crafted an entertaining novel that you just can’t miss.

The Major’s Daughter was another great installment in Regina Jennings’ Fort Reno series. I loved Frisco and Caroline’s love story and I enjoyed learning some history of the late 1880’s when towns were being settled in Oklahoma. If you like Christian historical fiction, don’t miss out on Regina Jennings’ books!

What I Loved: Jennings has quickly become a trusted favorite author. I know whether I pick up a novella or a novel, I'm about to be treated to endearing characters, a lively western setting, and a sweet romance. The Major's Daughter was just one more chance to enjoy the work of Regina Jennings. 
I loved stepping back to Fort Reno with these characters. They certainly know how to paint themselves into some messy corners. 
The historical angle was a real treat. This land rush was a new topic for me and one that I found rather fascinating. 
Rating and Recommendation: I thoroughly enjoyed it and give it 5 stars. I recommend it to those who also enjoy Christian Historical fiction or Christian western.

The Major’s Daughter by Regina Jennings is a fabulous conclusion to the Fort Reno Series. I’ve been following this series since book one, and each story—while able to be read as standalones—complimented each other in a charming way. I loved coming to know the characters and returning to Fort Reno for this series finale was almost like a reunion for me. I’ve always been a fan of this author’s storytelling, and this novel was engaging from start to finish. First of all, I adore a strong heroine, and that’s exactly what I got with Caroline Adams. While she has the finesse and charm to grace the polished circles of society, she also has sass, grit and a thirst for adventure. What I love about Caroline is that she doesn’t want to be handed everything in life—something her upbringing as the Major’s daughter had afforded her—but she wants to carve her own path, and the land run gives her that very opportunity. Even though she planned everything out as much as she possibly could, she didn’t quite factor Frisco Smith into the equation. I got to meet Frisco clear back in book one of the series. While he was an intriguing side character, he really shines as the hero in this story. I loved his vulnerable heart. And I adore the fact that no matter how much Caroline irks him, he can’t help but offer her aid when she needs it. It made for some major swoon-worthy moments! Another thing that I absolutely LOVED about this book was the setting. This author painted each scene with such vivid imagery that I felt like I was dropped right into the excitement of the 1889 land run. I experienced the rush of excitement that came with the great race, but I also became more aware of grueling hardship that went along with establishing a home on the wild frontier. (I would’ve NEVER made it! Give me air conditioning and indoor plumbing! LOL) All in all, this was a fun story filled with witty banter, charming characters, and a whole lot of heart! I received a copy from the publisher/author. All opinions are my own.

This book y'all!! Just wow!
Regina has done a fantabulous job on this one!
The characters are hilarious and fun loving which all of this authors are. I thoroughly enjoyable.
The subject was awesome! Not much written about the land run of 1889.
It was so exciting that I felt like I was running myself!! What an exciting time to live in!!!
Caroline my spunky gal returns in this fun loving adventure and she's all grown up!! But I still loved her anyway! I'm glad she finally got her own story!!
Our beloved Bradley returns as well cocky as ever!! I really wanted to slug him up side of his head but only to knock some sense into him! Ornery rat!
I especially enjoyed Frisco and how he gave Caroline a run for her money so to speak!! Just perfect for each other in my opinion!! I wanted to knock their heades together at times too!! But I really enjoyed their banter.
My only thing was Caroline's father. He got on my nerves sooooo bad!!! Too overprotective! I wish he'd lighten up a bit!! But I guess I can sort of understand that at the same time.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! Anything by Regina Jennings is awesome! I know I'm going to be swept away with lots of action and adventure!!
I finished this wonderful novel within a few hours I enjoyed it that much!!
I can't say enough about this book except you'll just have to pick up this book and read it!!
I highly recommend this book!
My thanks to author and Netgalley for this book. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own!!

Regina Jennings always tells a good story and The Major's Daughter is no exception. I loved every word of this book. Frisco and Caroline have been friends for years, now they are in direct competition for a piece of land. I enjoyed the fast-moving plot with a few plot twists thrown in to keep me guessing. I would suggest that readers read the first two books in the series before reading The Major's Daughter. My only regret is that this is the last book about the Adams family. So grab a mug of tea and curl up under a warm blanket for a wonderful read.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

"The Major's Daughter" by Regina Jennings is so good!!! I loved it! 5⭐. Seriously, if you have not read her books before, you really should. I love Frisco and Caroline, so happy to have their story.
*Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this story! All opinions are my own.

If you are looking for great fiction with fun characters, fascinating history, and animated romance, then look no further than The Major’s Daughter! I love Regina Jennings’s writing because she can write depth of the characters and plot while also making the story amusing and interesting. I liked the characters in this story a lot and their banter and interactions were entertaining to read. I have enjoyed this whole series, but I think this is my favorite! You do not have to read the stories in order, but they are all fantastic and it gives you a bit more background on the characters. The story has some unpredictable parts that keep the story moving. I liked the spiritual aspects woven among the plot as well. I loved this book and I really cannot recommend it enough!

•°o•:*:•.Interesting Story About the OK Land Rush.•:*:• o°•

1889
Caroline Adams and Frisco Smith have a history. She’s the Major’s daughter; feisty, pretty and basically off limits. But that never stopped the boomer with big dreams of settling the wild, open prairie land from paying her compliments every time her father had him thrown in the cavalry guardhouse for illegally homesteading. She pined for him and was disappointed when nothing came of it. She grew up a bit and went in search of better opportunities and society. When she returns, she came face to face with him and his outspoken ideas and becomes more annoyed with him than ever.
Frisco can’t believe his dreams and hard work are finally about to pay off. He has petitioned the government for years to open up the land to people willing to work hard and develop it. Every man and woman over 20 will have a shot to do just that. This land is a part of him, and he knows the surest way to get to a prime piece that most wouldn’t even attempt. He’s so confident, he even shares his secret with Caroline the day before the big race. He’s dug a well and planted a small garden. He’s started selling off parcels for his own town. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine having to fight Caroline Adams for the rights to his land.

Tea Quote: President Harrison took one last sip from his cup of Darjeeling tea and set aside the tariff proposals he was studying. / With the stroke of his pen, the matter was settled, and the core of the nation was forever changed.
Funny Quotes: Daisy stifled a yawn. Then she brightened. “If you die, can I still have your new clothes?” “Yes,” Caroline gruffed. “But bury me in something nice. Don’t keep everything for yourself.” “Yes, ma’am.” Daisy saluted, then turned back to the house.
“Why, Miss Adams, are you raising my kid?” He threw back his head and laughed at his own joke. Caroline moved her clean clothes out of the way. “Yes, and she’s an obnoxious pest,” she said, “much like her father.”
Faith Quote: the night had been profitable. On his knees, heart open, he’d talked it out with his Lord. Who was he? He was God’s child.

I found this historical, Christian romance very interesting. The land grab is practically unfathomable to me.

I received a copy from the publisher and author (who is a delightful person btw) for my honest opinion with no further compensation or expectation.

This book was everything I hoped it would be. I know when I pick up a book by Regina Jennings I am in for a treat, and The Major’s Daughter was easily one of those. I found it nearly impossible to stop reading. When I finally stopped to shower, I found myself thinking about what could happen next and how everything might turn out. I was taken by surprise several times and loved every moment of it. I found it fascinating picturing what life would be like starting out in a place so knew and untamed. Being surrounded by neighbors, and yet not knowing anyone at all.

I easily loved Frisco and Caroline. This book made me feel as if they might be my friends if I met them on the street somewhere. Viewing the world through the eyes of a lawyer and a Major’s daughter was such a fun experience. I was blessed to read the first two books in the Fort Reno series and immensely enjoyed them as well. That being said you can totally read this novel as a stand alone. Their faith was sprinkled here and there throughout the story and I enjoyed watching them grow. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was in no way forced to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I enjoyed this story, and could just picture these people at the line waiting to cross to a new life, and the race and for some disappointment. Then there were the cheaters, and thus we have a story!
I loved how the author used a primitive [in today’s standards] to prove that some were not honest, but you will have to read this to find out how.
There is a bit of romance, storms, and compassion here, and all for a better life. When the character of Frisco is introduced, I found myself disliking him, but wow did my opinion changed! Then there is Caroline, and I loved her, what a strong considerate woman, full of gumption and dreams.
This read came alive for me, and when I finished I really wanted more!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House and was not required to give a positive review.

What an interesting read, rich in history and adventure…….Frisco Smith is a tough lone character, thrown in jail many times. However he seems tough on the outside, inside he is searching for somewhere to belong. Raised in an orphanage and not knowing who he is, leaves him constantly searching. Now he has a chance to homestead 160 acres. He wants to build his own town so that he is surrounded by his orphanage friends and has even taken money from them for their plots. He even has named the town, Redhawk. He knows right where to go because he has scouted the land and knows where to go. No one can beat him for he knows a shortcut that no one else knows……Except for the Major’s daughter, Caroline, who has tagged along with him since childhood. Now she decides she wants to claim 160 acres for herself to build a boarding house. As fate would have it, Frisco is detained at the start of the race by the Major requesting him to make sure all is done fairly. When he reaches “his land” Caroline is already there and her stake in the ground. He accuses her of stealing his land, in fact he has built a lean to and has stocked it with food……but she is not budging, she was here first according to the rules…….This make for a very interesting book that you will not be able to put down. Who wins and who will loose.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinion is my own.

This was probably my favorite book in this series. I loved learning more about the 1889 Land Run. I enjoyed Caroline and Frisco. They both had many things that they needed to learn to stop being so stubborn. This story made me laugh and cry. These people went through a lot of troubles to get this “free” land. It took a lot of hard work. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

This is book three in the Fort Reno series, it is a stand alone book, however you do miss a bit of the history in some of the characters if you start with this one.
Caroline Adams is ready to be her own woman, yet when Frisco Smith is thrown into the mix, excitement is sure to follow. This book is full of misunderstanding, laughter, struggles, finding your place, history and so much more. I love the history of the Oklahoma Territory and story line behind this book. Regina Jennings always does such a great job incorporating history and a great story line into her novels. If you like historical romance books you will love this one.

(4.5 stars) - If you wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans

[This is the third book in Regina Jennings Fort Reno series. It's capable of standing alone, though the characters from the previous books are here, and reading the books in order will certainly enhance the depth of the story]

Caroline is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life & decides to join in the land run in the Unsettled territory near Fort Reno. Frisco has been planning his territory for a long time. But fate is about to upend all his plans. Frisco makes the difficult decision to do what's right instead of what's best for himself, and ends up losing his land to Caroline in the process.

He has to figure out how he might get his land back from her, while simultaneously dealing with some questionable goings on in the new settlements., and the people who he had promised to build a town with.

The story is fascinating in its realistic portrayal of the history of the time, but the development of the relationship between Caroline & Frisco is still very much the heart of it. Initially, Frisco seems like some kind of questionable character, but it doesn't take long to realize that there's more to him than that. Caroline, on the other hand, is clearly struggling with maturity. The two not only grow as individuals, but grow together, and it's an immensely satisfying (& frequently amusing) journey

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses
*Religion: Christian, references to God that are natural to the story, no preaching

The last time a story took me back to the land run of early America was when I watched the movie Far and Away (--ages ago!). Images from the movie ran through my head as Jennings described the mad crowds of people, anxious for land and opportunity.

A cute conclusion to the Fort Reno series. Regina Jennings has a delightful way of painting a picture of her characters in a relatable way--taking the reader through a growing point, all while keeping it light and enjoyable. I would recommend Jennings' books to any reader looking for a good, easy to read, Christian Romance.

For me, this third book in the series has my favorite character yet that Jennings has created; I was just drawn to Frisco and his underlying reasons for doing things. My suspicion is that you'll like him too. So pick up your copy and let us all know what you think of Frisco and his story.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley. The review stated above is my own honest opinion and without compensation from author or publisher.

Although I have not read the first two books in this series, this read well as a stand-alone book; and I will most certainly go back and read the first two to find out the back story. The characters were unique and interesting with some good and some bad. The premise of the story is the Oklahoma land rush filled with those who so wanted a new start in life with land of their own. The problem, though, was the boomer sooners: those people who sneaked into the Oklahoma territory ahead of the designated time and grabbed some of the best land parcels.

Caroline Adams was one feisty, strong-willed, determined young woman who was tired of living under her parents rules and wanted to determine her own fate in life. Frisco Smith is an orphan who is dreaming of creating a community that will become the family he never had. Frisco had watched Caroline, the daughter of Fort Reno's commander, grow up; and she, in turn, had watched him and developed a crush on him. Will they be able to work out their differences when they both ride for the same piece of property?

Frisco's traveling case played such an important role in reminding him that he still hadn't found a family, and the ending showed that he finally understood what family he needed. Both he and Caroline learn that family can be formed many different ways and that sometimes the dreams you have aren't what God dreams for you and His dreams are always better.

"Sometimes you only get one chance to do it right."

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley. Opinions are mine alone. I was not compensated for this review.

The final book in the Fort Reno series hits all the right targets. The Major’s Daughter is a history lesson, romance, and comedy all rolled into one wonderful read.

I loved that Regina Jennings brings two characters readers met in the first book in the series to the forefront. Caroline and Frisco have matured, and we get to discover the people the ensuing years have shaped them into.
Caroline has gone from the entitled and spoiled major’s daughter to a woman who longs to forge her own path. She’s smart, determined, classy, and a little sassy (especially when it comes to any interaction with the men in her life).

And while Caroline has matured, Frisco has made a complete 180 in his life. He’s a man with a mission—and a conscience. Even though he had his own dreams and plans, he remains a gentleman to Caroline who throws up a roadblock to said dreams and plans and has a heart to see justice reign.

As a bonus, Amber and Bradley get some page time in this book and readers of the full series will enjoy the cameos from fictional friends. And if you haven’t read the series, no worries, this read stands just fine on its own. Whichever category you fall into, you’ll find a lot to love about The Major’s Daughter.

The author takes readers back to the 1880s in Oklahoma. This historical novel gives an up close look into the race to claim land and all the problems it entailed. Caroline, the spunky Major's daughter determined to get a claim herself finds herself in battle with Frisco, a man from her past over a claim. The third in the series, Carolina's story is one that readers won't want to miss. Recommended!

Regina Jennings writes fun and lighthearted historical novels with a fair amount of ironic humor thrown in. They are always a good choice for curling up on the couch and relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

The Major’s Daughter is the third book in the Fort Reno series. It could easily be read as a stand alone novel, but there are characters from the previous books (including Caroline) who are introduced without their background info, so there are things that you would only know about them if you have been reading through the series.

I found myself really enjoying the in depth look at the Oklahoma land rush. The author introduced some of the darker elements of the contest without bogging the book down with them. The romance developing between Caroline and Frisco, as they learned to look past the surface to the hopes and dreams of another, was a sweet story that rounded out an interesting read.

All in all, I’d recommend The Major’s Daughter as a light and engaging read with a good entertainment value. I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for sharing my honest opinion of the novel.

I love Regina Jenning's writing. She writes in a vein similar to Karen Witemeyer. Both women guarantee a Western historical romance with heart and laughter. I know when I open one of Regina's books, I'll be able to relax into a story that will make me smile and leave me with a good feeling even as there's a light mystery of some sort and tension to keep the story moving. The Major's Daughter is not exception. I've been waiting for Caroline's story and I have to admit I was surprised by it, even though the series has been building to her. Don't worry, if you haven't read the other two books, you'll be fine, though you won't regret boing back to read the others. I love the way Regina explains it: "Yes, this is a love story, but as I was writing it, I realized that this is really my love story to my state and to the bold, audacious people who settled it. Just think about the daring it took to race with abandon for a home, and then the grit required to chisel out a town, a farm, a business from the dirt. Who were these people, and what brought them to Indian Territory? I feel like you only get one chance to tell a land run story, and this is mine. I hope you enjoy it and come away with an appreciation for what was accomplished here." If you open The Major's Daughter, you'll thoroughly enjoy it!

I have enjoyed EVERY book in this series, but The Major’s Daughter is my favorite. I am a total historical fangirl, and I loved being part of the Oklahoma land rush. The anticipation of thousands of people is palpable from page to page. So many hopes and dreams depended on being successful in staking a claim, and Ms. Jennings did an amazing job of describing how chaotic, awesome and breathtaking the events of the race and the following days and weeks were for those involved. I loved how the untamed and raw quality of the land influenced its inhabitants--including Caroline and Frisco.
For a book to really catch and hold my attention, I must like the heroine. I can confess I more than like Caroline. I adore her, her courage and her confidence. She has her own goals, yes, but she’s far from selfish. The way she can see Frisco’s weaknesses and pain and only love and respect him more is endearing.
Frisco is a man of many layers. A boomer, who was often in jail. A foundling with a painful past. A visionary with aspirations for a better future. From previous books, I thought him a bit of a rogue, but it wasn’t hard to fall in love with a man with such a heart of integrity. His vulnerability only added to his charm. I loved every minute of the scenes with him and Caroline--whether they were sparing, sharing stories or surviving the wreckless prairie. Their love story is one of my favorites.
If you loved being immersed within historical fiction--to feel the sights, sounds, and emotions of another time--then you will enjoy this book. In fact, it will likely grab your attention and not let loose until the dust settles. Don’t miss the sheer excitement of this adventure!

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed how annoying Caroline was. The whole book I really didn't understand her actions and wanted her to change her mind. At the same time, I realized that she was just trying to gain some independence and I couldn't help but admire her tenacity. So as I tried to make up my mind if I liked her or not I actually really enjoyed reading her story. 

I also enjoyed the historical details about the land run and the cities that were built from that. I learned about land runs in history class, but not the details and in the fun way that this book portrayed it. Although I don't think that I would have found it fun to be a part of a land run.  

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, and romance. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Having slow days at work has become rather beneficial, because it has allowed me to finish books that have me hooked. This is another great book by Regina Jennings, based on the trio of non-related siblings. This one ends with Frisco and the girl he finally ends up tangling with at the end.

The story is based on the claims that were opened up by homesteaders, their race across the county to claim 120 acres for themselves. If anything, what this story has prompted me to do, is to read more on this era. I have a feeling that it is rich with stories of it’s own, of the hardships placed upon them. Of course, it also has me wanting to reread the childhood stories by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

The story is fast paced and if you read it too fast, it is guaranteed that you will get lost. I did, but that’s only because I was so desperate to see what the outcome of Frisco’s challenge.

This is a story, and a series, that I will be most interested in reading again.

This was such a fun book to read! I loved the history of the Oklahoma Territory and how the land rush was done! Definitely a must read and great addition to the series! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions stated here are my own.

Wow, there's so much I could say about this book, but I'm sure you don't have that much time :) . this is the third book in the Fort Reno series; however, it can be read as a standalone as well. I've read several books by Mrs. Jennings, but this was by far my favorite!! I seriously didn't want to put it down. The chemistry between Caroline (who is spunky and independent, yet wanting to feel useful - to prove that she doesn't have to rely on her dad's name ) and Frisco (who was independent and stubborn, yet wants to belong - he was an orphan and has always wanted to be part of a family) is perfect! I love it when two characters who are at odds with each other, somehow find themselves drawn to one another (by far my favorite type of romance story)
Another thing that's really cool about the story is the history that's threaded throughout the plot. I LOVED reading about the first land run and the people at Fort Reno. I also really liked all the details the author included within the story, because it made it where I could almost feel the excitement of Caroline, and the others who were hoping to fulfill their dreams by racing to get their own plot of land. Overall, while I am sad that this is the last book in the Fort Reno series, I really think that Regina Jennings did a fantastic job ending the series (really with the entire series - I would recommend all of them!). I give the book five out of five stars (can I give more?!?) *****

The Major's Daugher is book number three in Regina Jennings The Fort Reno series. While it's always good to read a series in order, this can be read as a standalone as well. I had not personally read the previous books in the series, and I must admit I didn't even realize it was part of a series until I sat down to write this review. I didn't feel as though I was missing anything at all.



If you enjoy a historical fiction with a headstrong female lead, you are certain to fall in love with Caroline. Though not common for the women in her time, she craves adventure...and decides to find it on her own by making a run during the land rush. When she claims the land that Frisco had staked out for himself, an entertaining battle...and romance follows. This story was filled with humor and drama, all with a good dose of romance mixed in. It had me smiling throughout. I also really enjoyed the messages about home that were truly at the heart of the story.

For me, I found the setting to be the most unique aspect of the story. To be honest, before reading this I didn't have much knowledge about the land rush at all, so I found this topic to be extremely fascinating. I enjoyed even more finding out in the author's notes that many of the events mentioned were actually based on those that took place at the time. What a truly unique moment in history, and one that I think we hear much too little about. While I certainly enjoyed the romance and the drama, I also found this moment in time made for an even more fascinating read. It's not typically a topic that I read much about, but one that I enjoyed nonetheless.

Overall, this was a fun read and one that historical romance fans are sure to enjoy!

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

What a delightful story!

I have been loving these Fort Reno books. They are my favorite kind of historicals - those that are jam-packed with historical facts surrounded by an engaging romance.

I've seen movies about the Oklahoma Land Rush and have been fascinated seeing the motivations of the various participants. But most end with the claiming of the land. The Major's Daughter depicts the race itself and goes far beyond to the establishing of the territory, turning it into civilization. I loved learning about the rules, how the soldiers were not allowed to participate. And learning about the boomers and the sooners. But I loved most of all watching the prairie grow into cities and all the crazy things that occurred as strangers had to learn how to relate to one another in the midst of very unsettled circumstances. Even more fascinating was learning that most of the strange things that went on during the growing stages of the town had really happened and are recorded in historical documents.

Caroline's father is none other than the major from Holding the Fort, which was my first book by Regina Jennings. She is a feisty young lady, having grown up at the remote fort with plenty of freedom. Her determination had her working hard at a task that would have daunted all but the strongest of people. She was also full of compassion and grace and was so quick to help others when she was aware of the need.

Frisco was so interesting! His childhood was spent in orphanages, workhouses, and finally, the streets. Yet he rose above his circumstances and was now determined to make a new life for himself in the new territory. His search for a home influenced his actions greatly. I loved seeing how diligently he sought justice. He was truly an honorable man.

There is a touch of a faith element to the story, though it is not very strong. While at one point, Caroline read scripture that convicted her, a little, there was not any mention of that being more than an uncomfortable feeling that she suppressed. The heart change she eventually had was not clearly linked to her faith, it was simply a gradual change that came about.

If you enjoy historical fiction and learning unexpected tidbits along the way, I recommend The Major's Daughter.

I first met Caroline and Frisco in a previous book from the Fort Reno series so it was especially fun to catch up with them again now that Caroline had grown up a bit. I don’t remember ever thinking that the two of them might end up together so The Major’s Daughter was a reading adventure for me.

I loved reading everything about the land run but can still only begin to imagine all the hard work and emotions involved in such an endeavor. I particularly enjoyed Caroline and Amber’s determination to claim parcels for themselves – Amber who wanted a home for herself and her soon-to-be husband and Caroline who wanted to declare her own independence by building a business of her own on her new property.

Anyone who has read a few books by Regina Jennings will know that nothing will work out quite as planned and that the reader will be in for a few laughs over the antics of the characters. Naturally a villain or two also turn up in the story which complicates things even more. Needless to say everything works out well in the end with the help of a few good friends and the Lord.

The Major’s Daughter is another fine example of why I always must read anything by this author. If you are not familiar with her books and enjoy historical romance with a western setting, pick up a copy for yourself. This book can easily stand on its own but the others in the series provide a background that you will not want to miss.

The major's Daughter is a fun and enjoyable novel. The frontier setting is beautiful and the characters are definitely colorful! I really enjoy this kind of novel because it has elements of danger but it's not overly crude or hardcore but has a really sweet love story mixed in with action and drama! I enjoyed the relationship between Caroline and Frisco and their story creates a page turner! This was a fun book to read.

Regina Jennings tells us the story of the land rush in Oklahoma when the territory was opened to homesteaders. Jennings’s main players in The Major’s Daughter are Caroline, born to privilege and respect; and Frisco Smith, who comes from an orphanage but gains respect through his lobbying for land for the common man.
I gained respect for so many people as I read this book. For the Indians, who had been driven off their land, and made many false promises. For those men like Frisco, opportunists, yes. Yet, they were the ones who scouted out the new Unclaimed Territories and brought back to civilization the depiction of what life there could be. For those who, like the Major, had the responsibility to oversee the fairness of the land distribution on the day the lands were opened. Oy vey, the headaches! And last, but not least, for the people themselves who bravely attempted to race to claim the land, only to be hoodwinked, or beaten by Sooners, the capricious weather, or circumstances.
I liked the depictions of human nature as they emerge in the brand-new town of Plainwell. Will Caroline and Frisco get what they are really searching for, or will they settle for more than they bargained for?
For me, a wonderful history/sociology lesson wrapped up in an attractive, delectable story. Thank you, Ms. Jennings.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This does not affect my opinions, which are solely my own.

This is one of my new favorite books by this author- which is really saying something. Probably because it's equal parts fascinating history and interesting characters. As much as I liked Caroline, I liked Frisco even more. I felt the tension and worry as they navigated sticky situations in uncharted waters - competing over land, starting a new town, dealing with likely corruption, personal interests vs the good of the group, major disagreements with friends and family, just to name a few. The problems were believable and without easy solutions. Caroline and Frisco both brought a good mix of grit, wit, humor and charm. I already can't wait to read it again.

If readers have not read books by Regina Jennings, do not know what they are missing. The Major's Daughter is one example. This third installment from her series, Fort Reno, is yet another exciting read by her. I loved this story. Frisco and Caroline were quite the entertaining characters that made this book. They were so much fun.
I am giving The Major’s Daughter five plus stars. I highly recommend this book, as well as, the other books from Fort Reno series.
I received this book from the author, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

I've been in love with this series ever since I read Holding the Fort. I couldn't wait to dive into the last book in the trilogy. Sassy Caroline is all grown-up and returning to the fort after graduating finishing school. Everyone she comes across assumes she's an uppity city girl, and Caroline is set on proving to everyone that she hasn't changed and that she can still take care of herself.
One of my favorite parts of this books is the finalizing of Jack and Hattie's story from The Lieutenant's Bargain, and Brady and Ambrosia's story from Bound and Determined. My favorite character was Frisco Smith. Even though he tended to bend the rules, he has such a big heart and I could really appreciate that about him. I hope Daisy will someday show up in a novella and have her own romance.
My least favorite character was Caroline. She got on my nerves almost every time she was on page. It was mostly a personality thing, but it went against the grain and rubbed me the wrong way. In the spirit of not spoiling the story, let's just say I strongly disagreed with her stand, and felt that she was being too pig-headed to do the right thing.
This story has a mystery to solve and a puzzle to put together. I loved the suspense angle that this added to the historical romance. And as usual, I loved learning about a piece of unexplored history.
I highly recommend this entire series for those who love spunky, strong- personality characters, romances where the characters don't get along at first, and trips into seldom explored history.

The third in the Fort Reno series, that can be read as a stand-alone. This historical fiction title is a quick and satisfying read. Readers who like strong female characters will root for Amber and Caroline as they make their way in the new frontier. The character of Frisco shows redemption by ensuring fairness in the land race even though he begins the race determined to get a bead on land to begin his own time. Romance is found between Frisco and Caroline but seems almost secondary between the rivalry for land and the determination to secure a future. Recommended to those who enjoy clean, quick moving historical fiction.
I received an ARC ebook from Netgalley and the publisher, Bethany House, in exchange for an honest review.

The Major's Daughter
She didn't want to be known as the "Major's Daughter. She had dreams and aspirations for so much more. And she was going to do it!

Frisco felt like he never belonged to anyone or anywhere. He was going to find a place he could call his own. And the Mayor's Daughter stood in his way!

I have always enjoyed Regina Jenning's books. I loved the cover as the main character, Caroline, appeared so confident. She was pretty gutsy in her quest of the American dream to own her own piece of land.

With time, Caroline discovered that she could make her dreams come true and be The Mayor's Daughter at the same time. Caroline might have got in the way of Frisco's plans but plans can change. Frisco and Caroline both wanted a place to call "home".

I loved it. Five Stars!








ABOUT THE AUTHOR- REGINA JENNINGS
After a particularly stressful day of parenting, Regina Jennings decided to create a fantasy world that didn’t involve potty-training or stain-removal, and thus began her career as a historical romance writer. Since then, she has written more than a dozen historical novels that are sold worldwide and have been translated into three languages. (To read about her publication journey click here.)



A graduate of Oklahoma Baptist University, Regina is the winner of the National Reader’s Choice Award, two-time finalist for the Golden Quill Award and a finalist for the Oklahoma Book of the Year. She has also worked at the Oklahoma National Stockyards and First Baptist Church of Mustang. Now, she spends her free time learning to play the banjo and traveling with her husband of twenty-six years. Highlights include working at a leper colony in India, sleeping on a trampoline for a week in Senegal, and getting a problematic weapons search in a Mexican prison.

The Major’s Daughter was written by Regina Jennings, and is book three in The Fort Reno series.
Summary: Caroline Adams is all grown-up and no longer wants to just be know as “the Major’s daughter.” She craves freedom and her own life.
On a whim, she decides to enter the great land race, and claim a piece of property with which to start her future.
Frisco Smith has his own plans. He has the perfect piece of land picked out to claim for his very own home-the home he’s never had.
But when the race starts, all plans are out the window. Chaos, misunderstandings, and thievery abound. Can Caroline and Frisco navigate all the deception and come to an understanding-or even friendship-during these tumultuous times?
My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. The plot was full of intrigue, and I had a hard time putting it down. In fact, I am not sure I did-I read most of it in one day!
The plot was fascinating, the characters were flawed yet relatable, and the book kept me guessing how things would turn out-including a great plot twist at the end.
I love how the author manages to tie in so much actual history into her stories, and I enjoyed learning more about this time period and all of the crazy things that happened during this pivotal time in our nation’s history.
I also like how this book manages to tie into previous books, yet still stands on its own.
It is definitely my favorite book of the series, and probably my favorite overall written by this author. If you enjoy historical western fiction with a little romance thrown in, this is definitely the book for you.
I would like to thank Bethany House for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you!

Regina is a great storyteller and I have enjoyed the Fort Reno series. Lots of interesting history and characters that are continually developing.

The Land Race is something that has often intrigued me, in how it was executed and managed. This story gives insights and not surprisingly, a look at how corruption always seems to play a part in any good thing. Of course there were plenty of people who defied the rules and attempted to cheat their way into a parcel of land.

The writing style is engaging and fun, and a great read.

Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC. This is my honest review.

Mmm, this book hit the spot! I stayed up waaay too late reading it. The setting makes me long to pack up my things and become a homesteader. Or at the very least, get a goat. Beautiful descriptions of the land that make you feel like you're there (but don't bog down the story) and a romance that's just the right amount of swoony. There were a few scenes/conversations that made me roll my eyes (too cheesy or got my dander up a bit), but overall, a delightful story that takes place during Westward Expansion in the southern US.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

The Major’s Daughter by Regina Jennings is a great historical fiction based in the land of Oklahoma Territory. To watch the unfolding of land being scooped up and ownership given to those people was a plot that draws you in to the Oklahoma land run. There were quite the feels to this one with land being taken, which included crazy disputes over property, but your heart is wanting it to go to those who have had a harder way of life. There sure needed to be hard work and determination to make a go of it.

The Major’s Daughter by Regina Jennings

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wait what!? This is the 3rd book! How did I not know this! This is an amazing story. I love the strong characters and how this story is based on the Oklahoma Land Run. It gives a fictional insight to a truly amazing story that started and ended so many hopes and dreams in the 1800’s. This story follows Caroline is wild, passionate, independent, and wanting to branch out on her own. She doesn’t like being under her Fathers rule in Fort Reno and the Land Run is the perfect opportunity to get away. Together with her best friend Amber, they race to grab land for their own. They find the perfect spot to be neighbors, however, unbeknownst to Caroline, this land was already claimed by a boomer. A long time acquaintance Frisco plotted out this land for his own. He has a home, a garden, and soon this land will be his legally. However, things didn’t go as planned during the race. Caroline got there before him and claimed his land. What unfolds is an amazing adventure and story that I was unable to put down. I can’t wait to read the other books! happy reading my friends.


Book Summary:
Caroline Adams returns to Indian Territory after tiring of confining society life. She wants adventure, and when she and her friend Amber come across swaggering outlaw Frisco Smith, they find his dreams for the new territory are very persuasive. With the much-anticipated land run pending, they may just join the rush.

Growing up parentless, all Frisco Smith wanted was a place to call his own. It’s no wonder that he fought to open the Unassigned Lands. After years of sneaking across the border, he’s even managed to put in a dugout house on a hidden piece of property he’s poised to claim.

When the gun sounds, everyone’s best plans are thrown out the window in the chaos of the run. Caroline and Frisco soon find themselves battling over a claim–and both dig in their heels. Settling the rightful ownership will bring these two closer than they ever expected and change their ideas of what a true home looks like.

They fight with only a land claim between them...

Well now, what a story! I know when I start a Regina Jennings novel that I am in for a real treat. There will be some history, plenty of romantic sparks, humor, a dash or two of danger, and a faith lesson that applies just as much today. The Major's Daughter delivered all of that and a few surprises to boot.

I will make a confession. I actually didn't like Caroline previously, she was too full of herself and a bit of a pain. Somehow, I think Frisco might agree with me, LOL! Anyway, I wasn't too sure if I'd warm up to her in this book or not. I did, though there were times I just wanted to shake her, and Frisco come to think of it, until they showed some sense. I even had a way figure out for them to divvy up the claim that would have satisfied them both! But, oh well, we wouldn't have had a story then would we?

The Major's Daughter was a rollicking good story! I quickly became emotionally invested in the characters and their experiences. While I'd heard of the Oklahoma Land Rush before and knew the basics of it I learned a lot through Regina Jennings's charming writing. It humanized the event for me, both the triumph and the tragedy. There was also a depth to this story that went beyond shallow historical romance. Two of the themes that I can think of right off are that our value can't be judged by our past, and that we shouldn't make snap judgments about people. Oh yeah, there's also a fine line between tenacity and bullheadedness. One is positive, the other not always so much.

I really enjoyed this third book in The Fort Reno Series, a place I've never been but would love to after reading these books. It's entertaining and provides some thought provoking moments as well. So, if you want to have a whole lotta land rush fun what are you waiting for?

(I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)

I liked this Christian historical novel set in the year 1889. The author did an excellent job of making it seem that the reader was actually at the start line for the land race and waiting for the shot to be fired to begin the race. The cast of characters in the book well represented all that would have been eager to stake a claim. I could feel the emotional impact the race had on those who desperately wanted a claim, but were unable to get one, as well as the hardships for those who were trying to work their claim and tame the land on their own.

The main characters of Caroline and Frisco were interesting. Even though they came from opposite ends of society, neither felt as if they really belonged anywhere and were desperately wanting to fill that void in their lives. Both were quite determined, but faced opposition. Caroline, as the Major’s daughter, didn’t feel that she belonged in either high society or at the fort. Frisco, who has been raised in an orphanage, felt as if he were trying to build credibility as a lawyer. Both were excessively stubborn, and when they set their sights on claiming the same property, the emotional fireworks began. The romance that begins to build between the two of them has some setbacks. Caroline and Frisco were not characters that I felt a real connection with, but their stories were interesting and that kept me reading to find out what was going to happen next. This has been a great series, and I’ll be looking for the next book from this author.

If you love history you will enjoy this book. It has just enough history but also has a romantic interest. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the others in this series. Highly recommend it.

There is plenty of history in this exciting tale of the land run and the genesis of new towns and homesteads! Caroline and Frisco appeared in the previous books, but this one really explores their personalities and ambitions. They respected each other in their past roles, but now they are each branching out into new territory, literally! They begin to drive each other nuts before they engage in a conflict over a piece on land, but as they try to convince one another to just give up, they interact more and get involved in something bigger than they anticipated. I felt like the character development got lost a bit in the telling of the event's history, and I was filled with anxiety as I waited to see what the outcome of the dispute would be. Other issues arose for the characters which increased the sense of anxiety and suspense as I read. The new issues overshadowed Caroline and Frisco's dilemma and I felt that their resolution was a bit anticlimactic in comparison. I enjoyed the characters from the previous books, and it was great to see all the stories come full circle.
